Privoxy + ProxHTTPSProxy on OS X
Dear reader,

I successfully combined the use of ProxHTTPSProxy with Privoxy under OS 10.8 after having followed GunGunGun's steps. I have a few questions regarding this setup. Please, read on:
- Running ProxHTTPSProxy on OS X was only possible because of the Python scripts I managed to download somewhere. Indeed, “.EXE” is only viewed as an archive under OS X. My question is should I upgrade to the “reloaded” version of ProxHTTPSProxy? If so, would it be possible to obtain the Python scripts instead of the corresponding Windows executable…

- I'm running ProxHTTPSProxy with the latest Python's libraries. For example, should I use instead an older version of “urllib”. The one I'm using is “urllib3-1.10.4”…

- Finally, I would like to create a few exceptions and bypass some URLs. For example, I would like to access some HTTPS website without having ProxHTTPSProxy in the way… Should I perform those exeptions in Privoxy itself or in the “config.ini” file provided with ProxHTTPSProxy? In both cases, I don't know how to performs those exceptions…

Thank you for graciously providing ProxHTTPSProxy. Indeed, Privoxy is no longer blind when visiting some random non-critical HTTPS website. It is fantastic. It's magic!

Thanks for your help.
