Bug 2936: NTLM-Authenticate 407 and Proxy-Connection: Close in same response.

Squid default from the days of HTTP/1.0 was to close connections unless
   keep-alive was explicitly known. This changes the default to send
   keep-alive unless we have a good reason to close.

Persistent connections have been semi-broken since 3.0, but was the above fix discussed somewhere? I think it contradicts the overall flow

On IRC, with detailed run testing by Stephen.

of the persistency handling code in general and clientSetKeepaliveFlag intent/documentation in particular. I do not know whether it introduces more bugs, but I would not be surprised if it does because the if-statements above the new code do not enumerate "all overriding reasons"!

To add insult to the injury, the commit message is also misleading because, bugs notwithstanding, Squid did "send keep-alive unless we had a good reason to close" even before this change.

Not true. The bug is a clear case of 407 being required, but Connection headers not being sent *at all*.


Can we revert the above change, please?


Okay. Done for now until this is sorted out.


You may want to test the attached fix instead. I do not know whether it helps with Bug 2936 specifically, but it does fix a bug that smells related to those issues because Bug 2936 test script uses HTTP/1.0 messages.

The extended tests on IRC used 1.1 as well. I think via the force_http1p1 patch you provided.


Bug 2936 results from the *client* closing the connection in the absence of keep-alive. It hits worst in 3.1 where we send HTTP/1.0 to the client and don't specify keep-alive explicitly.


The new patch looks logically right. This is a clean section 8.1.3 clause 3 violation fix by the looks of it.

* Please add a reference to RFC 2616 section 8.1.3 clause 3 for the if statement. ie "MAY keep-alive to 1.1 clients, MUST NOT keep-alive default to 1.0 clients.". The particular point being that it's based on the client version. Not Squid like we currently have. - Its not relevant on httpMsgIsPersistent() documentation due to that function applying to both server and client conn.


NP: 3.2 and 3.HEAD still contain the 1.1 advertisement to clients. It's only gone from the stable release while pending the non-buffered client request de-chunking you scheduled for 3.2. Is the timeline still at the end-August on that?
