Newnym tells Tor that new application requests should go to a new circuit. But Polipo generally keeps its TCP connection to the webserver open, for pipelining. Thus from Tor's perspective there may not be a new application request, since from Polipo's perspective, the old one (on the old circuit) is still working fine. I believe the simplest fix might be "don't use Polipo then". --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
