Hello.
It seems that perhaps with the introduction of Squid Ver 3.X that the replies
provided while performing a quid purge command is different.
How can I make squid3.X purge reponse replies the same as squid 2.X?
As shown below, when performing a purge, the 3.2 server provides a different
reponse than the 2.6 server. We use several scripts that are based around the
CPAN squid::purge module. I'm not sure wether it or our scripts does not
know how to handle this extra information and causes an error reply. For now
however, it would be easier if I could simply modify squid rather than having
to put in a request for script changes here.
Squid 3.2 is not even on the drawing boards yet.
Did you mean 3.0.STABLE2 ?
The problems you are seeing below is looks to be that in this case
HTTP/1.1 is further along in 3.x than your 2.6. The 3.x is adding some
headers for increased HTTP support in future.
The Squid Developers have no plans to decrease squids
standards-compliance before the protocols are expired.
The best thing for you is to fix your scripts to be able to cope with
modern web traffic. RFCs REQUIRE software to ignore headers they don't
understand.
The fast way is to build squid with HTTP-violations enabled and turn off
via in squid.conf.
