[squid-dev] [PATCH] Anticipated connection closure disables chunking

[Eduard Bagdasaryan]

Hello,

This patch allows chunking the last HTTP response on a connection.
Squid should avoid signaling the message end by connection closure
because it hurts message integrity and sometimes performance. Squid
now chunks if:

   1. the response has a body;
   2. the client claims HTTP/1.1 support; and
   3. Squid is not going to send a Content-Length header.

Squid used to exclude to-be-closed connections from chunking
because chunking support was added (trunk r10781) specifically to
optimize persistent connection reuse and closing connections were
incorrectly excluded as a non-interesting/out-of-scope case.

Regards,
Eduard.
