Hmmm it doesn't work like this at all, so I guess it will be quite difficult to explain like this. Please have a look at various things in doc/internals, specifically "entities". It's a diagram which explains for each part, what other parts it's connected to. You'll see the buffers attached to the channel. These are the buffers you're looking for. But they are only allocated if they contain data, and are released immediately after the data was sent. You may even have some data in the kernel memory (inside a pipe) and not in the buffer at all. I really have no idea what you are trying to do, but definitely trying to fiddle with the buffers around connect_server() is not the right thing to do. Maybe you can achieve what you want using some Lua scripts and you will not need to touch the code at all. If you need to touch the code to do something very specific, you'd rather take a look at the analysers in proto_http.c. They are the ones called in sequences to perform various parsing, or while forwarding the payload from one side to another one. It's possible that it will be easier for you to play there. Please have a look at filters as well (eg: the compression filter), you will see how it interacts with the data that come through a buffer, to compress that and write it back to the same buffer, adjusting the lengths and input/output counts. Hoping this helps, Willy
