- "../user-manual/installation.html" target="_top">2. Installation</a>
- and <a href="../user-manual/startup.html" target="_top">5. Startup</a>

+ <p>A <span class="QUOTE">"crunch"</span> means <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> intercepted <span class=
+ "emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">something</i></span>, nothing more. Often this is indeed ads or banners, but
+ <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> uses the same mechanism for trapping requests for its own internal
+ pages. For instance, a request for <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy's</span> configuration page at: <a href=
+ "http://config.privoxy.org" target="_top">http://config.privoxy.org</a>, is intercepted (i.e. it does not go out
+ to the 'net), and the familiar CGI configuration is returned to the browser, and the log consequently will show a
+ <span class="QUOTE">"crunch"</span>.</p>
+ <p>Since version 3.0.7, Privoxy will also log the crunch reason. If you are using an older version you might want
+ to upgrade.</p>

- <p>From the webserver's perspective, there is no difference between

- for a <tt class="LITERAL"><a href=
- "../user-manual/actions-file.html#BLOCK" target="_top">block</a></tt>
- pattern, it will still be blocked, and of course this is obvious.</p>
-
- <p>Filtering is potentially more of a concern since the results are not
- always so obvious, and the effects of filtering are there whether the
- file is simply viewed, or downloaded. And potentially whether the
- content is some obnoxious advertisement, or Mr. Jimmy's latest/greatest
- source code jewel. Of course, one of these presumably is <span class=
- "QUOTE">"bad"</span> content that we don't want, and the other is
- <span class="QUOTE">"good"</span> content that we do want. <span class=

- reported by the webserver. If this is reported accurately (e.g.
- <span class="QUOTE">"application/zip"</span> for a zip archive), then
- <span class="APPLICATION">Privoxy</span> knows to ignore these where

- (generally assumed to be <span class="QUOTE">"text/plain"</span>) can
