[squid-users] cannot use squid-3.5.x for production

[Othmar Truniger]

Hello,
I found I cannot use squid-3.5.x for production because a possible bug I
filed on http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4279 recently.
Unfortunately nobody reacted on that one yet.

The problem: when trying to FTP-download a non-existing file the
client-http-connection just hangs forever. The external FTP communication
works fine but squid misses to send back a http-response with code 404.
Instead the connection just stays open.
I have several jobs in production polling for files on external FTP servers
which work fine with 3.4.x but cannot be used anymore on 3.5.x

Would be nice if someone could confirm this problem and even better if
someone has a valid 3.5.x workaround for this.

Regards, Othmar
