Summary: trouble with non-standard http port(s)

Initial Comment:
privoxy 3.0.3, win2000 & linux, firefox 1.0.3

Hi, thank you for the nice filtering proxy.

I have trouble browsing web interfaces to cvs when they
are on non-standard ports.  E.g.

https://cvs.cis.upenn.edu:3690/svnroot/unison-contributed-binaries/windows/

    With privoxy enabled or disabled Firefox gives me a
completely blank page and IE gives a "HTTP Error 403 -
Forbidden" page.
    If I bypass privoxy by changing the connection
settings in either browser to have a direct connection
to the internet the page loads correctly.
    It appears as though privoxy doesn't handle the
non-standard port correctly?

Thanks!

No, it's just that all https ports besides 443 are
forbidden by default, to prevent TCP relaying
through Privoxy for spam and security considerations.

To allow the ports you need, you can use the
limit-connect action. It can be configured through
http://p.p/ and is documented here:
