Re: Expiration mechanism - Slow proxy response...

Hi All,

Unfortunately I cannot get this echoping to compile on my system... I get a
linker error stating that a certain library cannot be found, anybody a
suggestion? I really want to test my system with echoping to see what's the
response from my proxy server and my parent... Here's the error...

# make
Linking echoping with new echoping.o error.o readline.o writen.o util.o http.o
gcc -o echoping -lsocket -linet echoping.o error.o readline.o writen.o util.o
http.o
ld crtbegin.o: can't find library libinet.a
make: *** [echoping] Error 1

But I also agree that there should be a feature that a page, no matter what the
expiry date is should remain in the cache and NOT checked for at least an hour
or so... What do you guys think? I am getting far too many misses and checking
on my system and I guess that is the whole problem of my sluggish
proxy-server...

Regards
Walter

| Dear all,
|
| I used Stephane's echoping package to test two sibling caches at our
| campus. One the first squid-1.1beta28, on the other squid-1.0.22
| is installed.
| If I echoping the nasty http://www.microsoft.com/, I receive different
| values for squid-1.1 and for squid-1.0:
|
| for squid-1.1:
| ./echoping -h http://www.microsoft.com/ -n 5 tohotom.vein.hu:3128
| Elapsed time: 29.551170 seconds
| Elapsed time: 45.124003 seconds
| Elapsed time: 21.201108 seconds
| Elapsed time: 39.664328 seconds
| Elapsed time: 41.987765 seconds
|
| for squid-1.0:
| ./echoping -h http://www.microsoft.com/ -n 5 almos.vein.hu:3128
| Elapsed time: 35.612190 seconds
| Elapsed time: 0.580228 seconds
| Elapsed time: 0.526058 seconds
| Elapsed time: 0.603988 seconds
| Elapsed time: 0.495300 seconds
|
| I think that the behaviour of squid-1.0 is more appropriate in this case.
|
| It would be nice to eliminate nasty HTTP server responses (e.g. where
| Date: and Exprires: header are the same) in such cases when a certain
| page is not generated dynamically.
|
| Cheers,
| Bertold
