[squid-users] Question about shutdown_lifetime behavior.

[Cody Herzog]

Thanks, Alex.

I do have some concerns that 'reconfigure' may cause disruptions in certain situations, but I haven't seen it yet.

Perhaps it is most likely to cause problems when connections are first being established, or when they are changing states.

It seems to do a good job of not disrupting established WebSocket connections.

One other idea I had was to use 'iptables' to prevent new TCP connections to port 443 as the first phase of shutdown. I think that would probably work, and would not have the potential bad behavior of 'reconfigure'.

For my 'reconfigure', I'm simply commenting out the https_port line which causes Squid to listen on 443.

Thanks again.
