You wrote this https://sourceforge.net/p/ijbswa/mailman/message/35070785/ and i quote from your post:

That says nothing to me.

We (I !!) know more or less what can be done with Privoxy on the http side. Https traffic can only be blocked by domain names. Privoxy can't see the paths, nor the headers etc.. This kind of a simple domain blocking can also be done with uMask, dnsmasq or a hosts file. What can be done else or more with ProxHTTPSProxyMII?
