I couldn't try this while in Greece but I'm now back in the UK trying to set the N810 for my next trip. I installed privoxy 3.0.6 and put this in user.action (at the end of the file):
This follows the example in the manual here and seems to be recommended rather than content-type-overwrite.

Result: the privoxy daemon fails. I haven't found an error message anywhere yet.

Does this work for anyone else?

Also, I tried setting 'enable-edit-actions' in config but it didn't. Does the web-based editor work in this version?

I just rebuilt privoxy 3.0.8 for my N800. Perhaps you could give it a try and see if the newer version solves your problem.

DaveRo - I'm greek and have a recipe for privoxy with content-type-overwrite that seems to work. I have only tested it with my Linux laptop, not with maemo, though. I'll post it when I get back home this afternoon.

content-type-override works on the N810. But I'd prefer to use server-header-filter - it's more selective - I don't have to specify all the exceptions. Has anyone got filters to work with this build?

server-header-filter works on a Linux Laptop (OpenSuSE 11.0) with version 3.0.8 - using the code I posted above.I'll give it a try.

terrencegf: The xml-to-html server-header-filter works with your version 3.0.8. Thanks.

I think I'm nearly there. When using the Greek mobile I think all I have to do is point privoxy at the WAP proxy using the forward config line. I'll test that with a public proxy.

Thanks to all.

Actually, the use of privoxy for this single purpose is a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Someone on the prepaidgsm.net forum wrote a neat little perl script to do the job - which I refer to in my post here. But I can't get it to work on the Nokia. Any perl experts willing to help debug it?

I haven't tried the script, but my guess after a quick look is that your N8x0 is missing the 'HTTP::Proxy' and/or the 'LWP::UserAgent' perl modules. You can test the script with the command
which doesn't execute it, but it will tell you if those modules are missing (or any other error) (Note that if the modules are missing on your installation it could be that they're not available at all - I haven't checked)

What I did was copy the relevant perl modules from my OpenSuse box - by trial and error. Eventually I got it to run. It issued one warning: but the compile didn't fail.
Then, on entering a URL, I got this in the browser:followed by more warnings in the terminal: It kept running, though.

The 'perl c' command also gives me that first warning. Sys/Hostname is there - but I suspect that it doesn't work on the Nokia. And whether that's anything to do with the 501 error - I don't know.

It all works on the Linux laptop.

Ah no need to post a config file with a lot of exceptions, then.
