-<H2>CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
- <B>Privoxy</B> can be configured with the various configuration
- files. The default configuration files are: <I>config</I>,
- <I>default.action</I>, and <I>default.filter</I>. These are well com
- mented. On Unix and Unix-like systems, these are located
- in <I>/etc/privoxy/</I> by default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS,
- these files are in the same directory as the <B>Privoxy</B> exe
- cutable.
-
- The name and number of configuration files has changed
- from previous versions, and is subject to change as devel
- opment progresses. In fact, the configuration itself is
- changed and much more sophisticated. See the user-manual
- for a brief explanation of all configuration options.
-
- The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured
- with your web browser at <I>http://www.privoxy.org/config</I>.
- <B>Privoxy's</B> configuration parameters can also be viewed at
- the same page. In addition, <B>Privoxy</B> can be toggled on/off.
- This is an internal page.

-<H2>SAMPLE CONFIGURATION</H2><PRE>
- A brief example of what a <I>default.action</I> configuration
- might look like:

-
- # Do accept cookies

-
- # Define page filters we want to use.
- myfilters = +filter{html-annoyances} +filter{js-annoyances}\
- +filter{no-popups} +filter{webbugs}

+ <h2>
+ CONFIGURATION
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>Privoxy</b> can be configured with the various configuration files. The
+ default configuration files are: <i>config</i>, <i>default.filter</i>, <i>default.action</i>
+ and <i>default.action</i>. <i>user.action</i> should be used for locally defined
+ exceptions to the default rules in <i>match-all.action</i> and <i>default.action</i>,
+ and <i>user.filter</i> for locally defined filters. These are well commented.
+ On Unix and Unix-like systems, these are located in <i>/etc/privoxy/</i> by
+ default.
+
+ <b>Privoxy</b> uses the concept of <b>actions</b> in order to manipulate the data
+ stream between the browser and remote sites. There are various actions
+ available with specific functions for such things as blocking web
+ sites, managing cookies, etc. These actions can be invoked individually
+ or combined, and used against individual URLs, or groups of URLs that
+ can be defined using wildcards and regular expressions. The result is
+ that the user has greatly enhanced control and freedom.
+
+ The actions list (ad blocks, etc) can also be configured with your web
+ browser at http://config.privoxy.org/ (assuming the configuration
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/user.filter</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/trust</i>
+ <i>/etc/privoxy/templates/*</i>
+ <i>/var/log/privoxy/logfile</i>
+
+ Various other files should be included, but may vary depending on
+ platform and build configuration. Additional documentation should be
+ included in the local documentation directory.
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ SIGNALS
+ </h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>Privoxy</b> terminates on the <b>SIGINT</b> and <b>SIGTERM</b> signals. Log rotation
+ scripts may cause a re-opening of the logfile by sending a <b>SIGHUP</b> to
+ <b>Privoxy</b>. Note that unlike other daemons, <b>Privoxy</b> does not need to be
+ made aware of config file changes by <b>SIGHUP</b> -- it will detect them
+ automatically. Signals other than the ones listed above aren't
+ explicitly handled and result in the default action defined by the
+ operating system.
+
+
+</pre>
+ <h2>
+ NOTES
+ </h2>

+ Please see the <i>User</i> <i>Manual</i> on how to contact the developers, for
