We've been wresting with using Squid as a forward caching proxy for web service calls from our application where we're caching as much as possible. Some of the web service responses don't contain a Content-Length, preventing client-side persistent connections (Squid has no problem persisting connections as long as responses have Content-Length set). Rapid TCP connections/teardowns are dramatically impacting the performance of our application. How do we make Squid specify the content length (which it knows) and thus use persistent connections? Thanks in advance.
