Re: [squid-users] Persistent Server connections, pipelining and matching responses

I do not believe squid uses a single TCP "Persistent Connection" for more than 1 client at a time, hence the functionality of "Connection Pinning". This is required to perform things such as NTLM web-based logins.

Hi:

I am trying to understand Squid behavior when server side connection is
pinned (persistent) and pipelining is enabled on both client and server side
in a transparent proxy configuration.

If there are multiple HTTP requests coming from multiple clients for the
same server and if the requests are sent on the same TCP connection to the
server, how will the proxy match the responses to those requests to
appropriate clients ? HTTP is stateless - so the response will not identify
the request. If the proxy gets the reply to all those requests, how will it
send the right response to the right client.

Thanks in advance.
