[Privoxy-users] Help with setting background image (Repost with correct email)

[Ian Silvester]

Gotcha. The visual glitch is the default placeholder image that Privoxy uses when it filters an image ;o)

The vanilla templates don't contain images and the documentation doesn't mention their use, so it is possible that they're simply not supppoeted. It does make clear that the templates get processed by the code before display, so this begins to explain how the destination URL is being tacked on the front of the image reference.

One last idea - prefix the reference with localhost (127.0.0.1/img.png). This is a pretty long shot but might be enough to convince the code that the image is local, but depends of course on it considering the template directory to be the root of the local Web server.

I'm using "background-image: url(img.png);" in the CSS file. When I run the code on my PC it works perfectly, but when I run it on my privoxy server it tries to call the png from the site that's being blocked. I can share the HTML/template and CSS files if that needed. Any help would be great!
