Persistent Connections

Today I was trying to replicate a problem in Squid (Squid/2.3.STABLE2)
when I observed that Squid doesn´t use persistent connections (checked
manually vía telnet and "connection: keep-alive" and "proxy-connection:
keep-alive" headers).

It was very strange, because previous versions supported persistent
connects.

Digging into the code I saw that the implementation is gated thru the
variables "Config.onoff.client_pconns" and "Config.onoff.server_pconns".
Nevertheless those variables ARE NEVER SET in the code.

Any reason for that?.

I do the following change to restore persistent connections support. It
seems to run fine in the last two hours.

Any idea?.
