Polipo is no longer supported; this should be changed to use tinyproxy instead. |

Even better: configure this as a transparent proxy so that all connected devices will use it.

This configures polipo as an HTTP proxy using WPAD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol). I've manually verified that the configuration is correct (and that proxying occurs), however OS X and iOS do not appear to respect these settings.

This adds support for WPAD and makes a Proxy Auto-Config available at http://wpad.lan/wpad.dat (also http://posm.io/wpad.dat).
The underlying HTTP proxy is polipo, a lightweight caching proxy server.
