I can't do tcpdump for days to catch what happens. So far, I don't have a reliable way to reproduce it. But I do find it happen. If you want a debug log when you do have such a partial cache, I can do that. As you agree, a crash can create such a partial cache file. This small change will address it. Can you point out a drawback? except it may through away some useful cache. The problem here is, once such partial cache is written, it won't go away unless you flush the cache to trough everything away if you don't know where to find the offending one. > > My disk for the cache is of 100+ gigs, so out of disk space is not the > > issue. > > Polipo is supposed to react gracefully to error conditions, so unless > you're using a buggy filesystem (cough ext4 cough) and your system > crashes, there should be no cache corruption in this case. > I use FreeBSD, not Linux. > > > Such partial file without Content-Length do not happen often. > > They do happen whenever you interrupt a large download that is going > through Polipo, or view streaming video using Polipo.
