hi,
I use nginx as load balance and forward request to squid use http/1.1, the topology is below:
chrome ---> nginx(:80) ---> squid(:8080) ---> origin server(nginx :80)
the nginx configuration:
upstream backend {
server 192.168.13.210:80;
keepalive 10;
}
server {
listen 80 default;
server_name _;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
location / {
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}
the squid configuration of persistent connections is supported on both client side and server side:
##########timeout##########
client_persistent_connections on
server_persistent_connections on
request_timeout 240 seconds #to client/wait client's request
client_lifetime 240 seconds #to client/all request time
persistent_request_timeout 30 seconds #to client/keepalive
pconn_timeout 30 seconds #to origin server or peer/keepalive
connect_timeout 240 seconds #to origin server/only connect
read_timeout 240 seconds #to origin server or peer/wait recv data
Then, I made 5 requests such as 'http://test.cache.com/p3.jpg?tt=2013032206' and could not find any persistent connection between nginx and squid.
the squid log show:
127.0.0.1 - - [22/Mar/2013:16:12:06 +0800] "GET http://test.cache.com/p3.jpg?tt=2013032205 HTTP/1.1" 304 364 "http://test.cache.com/p3.jpg?tt=2013032205" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.172 Safari/537.22" TCP_REFRESH_HIT:DIRECT/192.168.13.210 0

Connection: close"
as we see(last line), squid announced the Connection should be close after the request. I think this is why nginx couldn't make a persistent connection with squid.
then I try to set: proxy_set_header Connection "keep-alive"; forcing that the request must be keep-alive.
the request and response is:

though the Connection of response is keep-alive, nginx still didn't make any persistent connection with squid.
Is there any way to configure nginx use a persistent connection where forward requests to squid ? help help
nginx_version: 1.2.6
squid_version: 2.7.STABLE9
