I am sure that Roger Dingledine's comment explains some of the errors and 
is based on the difference between Privoxy and Polipo when dealing with 
HTTPS.  However, a) the information is still on the web; b) if you go to 
http://ht4w.co.uk/ you will see that the Introduction is dated 23 January 
2010 which implies the information is up-to-date; c) a neophyte would not 
necessarily understand the most recent incarnations of Tor / Polipo / 
TorButton.
