VERSION NOTE: squid2.3STABLE3 I would like to know if Squid Proxy supports end-to-end persistent connections or hop-to-hop persistent connections? According to the HTTP/1.1 spec, RFC2616 section "8.1.3 Proxy Servers" it says: "The proxy server MUST signal persistent connections separately with its clients and the origin servers (or other proxy servers) that is connects to. Each persistent connection applies to only one transport link." Also check section "15.5.1 End-to-end and Hop-to-hop Headers" Squid seems to close HTTP/1.1 client connection if it receives "Connection: close" header from the origin server or the origin server does not support persistent connections. To summarize, if my browser sends Connection: keep-alive and/or Proxy-Connection: keep-alive with either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 the connection to squid should be maintained even if squid receives a "Connection: close" from the origin server. However, I am noticing that the "Connection: close" is causing squid to close the connection with my browser. Is this a bug? I have applied the 2.3 Stable 3 bug fixes. Thanks. -Chris _________________________________ out Chris DeCenzo mailto:decenzo@liberate.com Phone: +1 650-701-5223 Fax: +1 650-701-4960 Liberate Technologies 2 Circle Star Way San Carlos, CA 94070-6200, USA _________________________________
