Hi Alex I reproduced this issue when http client/server uses http connection: close. See attached log file ( I don't know how to share a link to you). Http client use libcurl, curl_easy_recv API returns CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL, /* 1 */ This meets the description https://curl.se/mail/lib-2013-01/0246.html , CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL means that connection was shutdown. 10.105.8.55 is http server ip, 10.245.166.20 is the http client ip, 10.244.102.133 is proxy server's ip.

Please try the procedure described at https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting#Debugging_a_single_transaction In your case, if possible, use a single problematic master transaction (including client-Squid and Squid-server HTTP transactions) -- the one that results in response truncation. I recommend "ALL,9" debugging for this case. Please share a link to the _compressed_ log. > I am curious of > 1.

Whether the server closed the connection after sending the entire response is irrelevant (except for special cases where the end of response is determined by the connection closure). > and data transfer to http client is not completed sometimes.

I assume that by "from http client and proxy" you meant "to http client from proxy". That is another mystery you want to solve. Hopefully, debugging logs will help us solve both mysteries.

Both "close" and "keep-alive" instructions tell the agents what to do _after_ the entire response body is delivered from the server to the client. This is just how HTTP works...
