Re: [squid-users] How does squid handle the case where a client closes connection before getting a response

Specifically, a client (A) sends a request to the squid (S), and the squid forwards the request to original server (O). Then the client closes its connection to the squid. In such case, if the squid gets some responses from the original server, how does it handle the requests? I guess squid will discard the responses, right?

Depends on your configuration.
Squid may close the connection immediately or wait for the rest of the
file to download
see config details for quick_abort_*.

Squid will ache the object received if it can. Just like any other
request. Note that it cannot cache partial objects at this point.
