[squid-users] Is there any squid 4.x tested with Delay pools to work and limit well ?

[Dr.X]

Could you please explain why the developers are upgrading Squid from version 4 to 5 and 6, while ignoring a critical built-in feature like Delay Pools that has been reported as a bug since Squid 4.x?

Really  having difficulty understanding this equation.

Thank you.

I do not think so. AFAIK, Bug 4913 (Delay Pools don't work for Tunneled
traffic) affects all Squid versions starting with v4 (at least). IIRC,
there were some code improvements in that area, as side effects of other
projects, but nobody has worked on an actual fix yet.
