Hi, I have squid configured as a transparent proxy in front of application server (ApS). Data generated by ApS gets updated infrequently and sometimes ApS gets slow doing it's internal "housecleaning". What I want to do is for Squid to "fudge" response times a bit by timing out connections to ApS after, say 20s and using cached data instead (even if it's outdated). This would also help with ApS reboots so that data is available at all times regardless of responsiveness or availability of ApS. Looking through documentation and Google searches didn't bring up any relevant information. I do realize that this violates HTTP and is not widely applicable but in my situation I can live with consequences (I think). -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University (780) 675-6245
