I'm trying to get the test script below working, but get the error in the title. Am I doing something incorrectly? Do I need to make changes to the privoxy configuration? It's running on CentOS 5.3, if that makes any difference.

I found this post, but wasn't sure how to implement the suggestion, or if that was the actual problem. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Jan-2007/msg00156.html

Thanks!
