Could this be something > that would benefit from having this option to off ? Setting half_closed_clients off makes Squid promptly abort those requests when the user gives up waiting. With half_closed_clients on Squid still waits for the response and tries to deliver it to the client, which most times will fail (client has closed the connection). Unfortunatly the TCP layer do not easily provide a separation between half-closed and fully closed connections. They both look the same until one tries to send some data down the connection at which time the client either accepts the data (half-closed) or resets the connection (fully closed). Unfortunately there is no data to send down to the client until there is some data received from the requested server so Squid just sits there waiting for up to 15 minutes hoping the client is still around when there is some response to send.
