Hi, privoxy should be enabling zlib support, for filtering compressed web pages, as in Gentoo & e.g. Debian:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208129
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368448

As mentioned ("zlib") in http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/whatsnew.html

The surprising thing is that it's not enabled by default. I've been using it for over a month with no problems.

At the end of the ./configure line in the PKGBUILD, add: --enable-zlib

This would explain why privoxy occasionally mysteriously failed to filter a page in the past :)
This task depends upon
