[squid-users] Is it possible to serve stale content on ERR_READ_TIMEOUT?

Hi.

The subject line says it all really. Is it possible to configure squid to
serve cached stale content if a request fails because the remote host is
unavailable? I know this is probably outside of the HTTP spec.

If this is not possible currently, how difficult would the changes be to
enable this? I have seen the offline_mode configuration parameter, and
examined it in the code, but am not sure which area exactly I would have to
prod.

thanks
