Hi Amos, Thanks for the reply. So I understand that squid ver 3.1 will also do a complete decode of THAT chunk it had received from server (there may be many more waiting in the queue) and then encode it if necessary before sending it to client. Am I correct? Btw I noticed that some of the error respones like "416" are sent as chunked response. Why is that as it is after all an error message which is pretty small?
Depends entirely on whether the content length is known before sending the headers. Error pages generated by Squid usually are, but not necessarily. If the headers + template + template macros expanded to more KB than the output buffer could hold for example, squid has no choice by to stream them out. If it is happening on very small responses (under 64KB), that is a bug.
