RE: [squid-users] any work arounds for bug 2176

Sorry - that was misleading. I've had persistent_connection_after_error set on throughout my testing. I get the same error as Brett only when the body of the post is much greater than that which causes the post to fail.

I'd like to correlate network traces with debug output and would appreciate suggestions as to which debug_options would include all possibly relevant info

"Do you get the same result as Brett with persistent_connection_after_error set to ON?"

Yes - I've had it set on throughout my testing.

There is no exact borderline size. Sometimes a 6Kb upload will succeed, sometimes the max is around 4Kb. This is on an otherwise idle test server. So far I've only tcpdumped the first two cases and can see that in the middle case, the proxy issues FIN packets to server and client just after receiving and passing on the second 401 response from the server. A feature, if not a factor, common to failures, at least in traces taken so far, is that transfer of the upload to the server begins before receipt of the upload from the client has completed. Comment please?

Hmm, I wonder...

Do you get the same result as Brett with
persistent_connection_after_error set to ON?

The default in all Squid is OFF which forces the connection closed on
all 4xx replies regardless of the patched Squid now seeing it as a
viable connection.
