+ In a default configuration, <application>Privoxy</application> requests all

+ filtering and other magic to work. In some rare cases, the browser and
+ webserver miscommunicate and the result is a totally blank page. The
+ suggested work around is to selectively turn off this feature for sites
+ that exhibit such behavior. Example section for <filename>user.action</filename>:
