Do not chunk responses carrying a Content-Range header. When Squid forwards a response with a Content-Range header, ClientSocketContext::socketState() detects the end of the response range(s) and returns STREAM_*COMPLETE to ClientSocketContext::writeComplete(). The latter thinks that the writing of the response to the client must be over and calls keepaliveNextRequest() instead of writing the last-chunk (if any). If the to-client response was chunked, the client gets stuck waiting for that missing last-chunk. The multipart Range request case was already excluded from chunking (or it would probably suffer from the same problem). With this change, no Content-Range responses will be chunked. N.B. Some servers send Content-Range responses to basic GET requests without a Range header, so the problem affects more than just Range requests. TODO: A proper fix would be to rewrite ClientSocketContext::writeComplete() and other code so that it does not mix internal ClientStream completion with [possibly chunk-encoded] writing completion. This should probably be done along with fixing ClientSocketContext::socketState() and other state-checking code to ignore to-client persistence (flags.proxy_keepalive), which is not related to the internal ClientStream state. === modified file 'src/client_side_reply.cc' --- src/client_side_reply.cc 2012-08-14 11:53:07 +0000 +++ src/client_side_reply.cc 2012-08-24 03:49:33 +0000 @@ -1448,9 +1448,13 @@ getMyHostname(), getMyPort()); #endif + // chunking a Content-Range response may not violate specs, but our + // ClientSocketContext::writeComplete() confuses the end of ClientStream + // with the end of to-client writing and may quit before writing last-chunk const bool maySendChunkedReply = !request->multipartRangeRequest() && + !reply->content_range && reply->sline.protocol == AnyP::PROTO_HTTP && // response is HTTP (request->http_ver >= HttpVersion(1, 1)); /* Check whether we should send keep-alive */
