I've noticed that Polipo fails to parse the URL from Python's urllib.urlretrieve (Python 2.7.9):
% python2 -c 'import urllib; r = urllib.urlretrieve("https://www.example.com/"); print(file(r[0]).read())'<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

This appears to happen for any https URLs, and is probably caused by an improper / no use of CONNECT from Python's side?!

The relevant bug for Python is http://bugs.python.org/issue1424152; there's a patch for 2.7, which hasn't been applied yet.
