ReversePath causes "Unable to parse config file" error

[cfredhart]

The attached tinyproxy.conf file produces the error

$ /usr/local/sbin/tinyproxy -c /ram/tinyproxy.conf
Syntax error on line 305
Unable to parse config file. Not starting.

I can't seem to get reverse proxy function to work on OS X (installed via homebrew: tinyproxy-1.8.3.el_capitan.bottle.2.tar.gz)

Is tinyproxy compiled with reverse support?
Running "tinyproxy -h | grep Reverse" should print "Reverse proxy support".
If it does not, then the above is the expected behaviour.
Otherwise we need to investivate further...

@cfredhart I had the same issue. I had to install it with the with-reverse option in homebrew. Check out line 17 in homebrew's installation formula for tinyproxy:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/fb81645562f7e495a49561065912788af2d1f14f/Formula/tinyproxy.rb

For me, that consisted of first uninstalling tinyproxy with homebrew:

brew uninstall tinyproxy

Then, installing it with the with-reverse option this way:

brew install tinyproxy --with-reverse

I hope this helps! If so, you should probably mark this issue solved or whatever sounds best.

@cfredhart , I guess @pachun has the answer. Closing this issue now. Please open again if problem persists...

Ran into this issue on Arch. Apparently, community/tinyproxy is not compiled with reverse proxy support.

It should be noted that this still hasn't been added on the arch linux community package. I've filed a bug report here.
