Re: [squid-users] trouble with POST and squid-2.4.STABLE6

I'm back to looking at this problem again and I may have found a
clue. I think I need to find out how to disable squid from adding a
"Connection: close" header. How do I do that?

I'm using squid 2.4STABLE6 as a reverse proxy for a Silverstream 3.7.1
server. The top level page is a login form, and a successful login
against the Silverstream server causes the following things to happen:

1. The original window is redirected to another URL
2. A popup window loads the original URL for use during this
session, authenticated by a session cookie.

Attempting to login via the proxy simply results in the original
window reloading the original URL again (the login form). (Caching is
disabled via the null cache_dir type.)

Using curl to view the HTTP headers I get back when I submit (POST)
the form, we see the following from Silverstream, followed by what we
get from squid:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:31:20 GMT
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Expires: 0

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:40:32 GMT
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8
Expires: 0
Last-Modified: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 19:19:56 GMT
Server: SilverStream Server/10.0
X-Cache: MISS from vcc002
Connection: close

I suspect that the Connection: close header is at least part of the
problem. How can I disable that?

Thanks, Eric
