[squid-users] Squid and excess data from webservers

Hi,

sad fact is, that numerous (even bigger companies') webservers out there are
broken and DO send excess data that differs from the Content-Length:
specified in the header (mod_banner seems to be partially broken in this
regard, too).

Squid does simply hard-cut the stream after the header-specified length,
which is all good and well, in theory.

How about adding a configurable window, in which excess data is tolerated,
but defaulting to 0 ?
It is mostly around a couple of bytes (up to ~100?) and the browsers handle
it, too.

I have no patches handy, unfortunately.

Kind regards,
Ronny
