Re: [RFC] Policy Change on half-closed connection

Amos, your squid-users announcement says that it applies to 2.7 as
well; will the same changes (switch default, remove later) be applied
there?

FWIW, I've never seen this happen on 2.x. Has anyone else?

Note that turning half_closed_clients off has an effect on quick_abort
(at least in 2.x); without it, if the client aborts before headers are
received, quick_abort doesn't have time to kick in; with it, it will
operate even if the client aborts that early.

This behaviour is pretty desirable in an accelerator setup...

Cheers,
