Subject: squidclient: Use -k option to control connection keep-alive or close
X-Git-Tag: SQUID_3_2_0_1~312
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51d94d10005fd2cfb8caa189c304aceece31ed03;p=thirdparty%2Fsquid.git

squidclient: Use -k option to control connection keep-alive or close

This is needed to prevent HTTP 1.1 servers (or Squid) holding the
connection open after squidclient has finished.

Retain the old behavior for HTTP/1.0 requests.
