[squid-users] SQUID cache_peer

Hi,

can someone explain me how SQUID handles intercache communication
especially how does it forward HTTP request to parent proxy.

SQUID is not using any caching protocol. cache_peer configuration:

cache_peer A.B.C.D parent 8080 0 no-query no-digest no-netdb-exchange
round-robin proxy-only

Is it using one TCP connection with parent proxy or is it opens
separate connection for different HTTP requests? What about pipelined
connections to parent proxy?

Thanks in advance, Dalibor
