Good morning,
I have a couple of questions regarding http-reuse and idle streams. In
fact, I have sent a similar e-mail to this mailing list about relatively
recently but I think that it might have been too long and by this
discouraging to be read.
I will ask my questions in points as I think it will help readability:
1. https://docs.haproxy.org/2.6/configuration.html#http-reuse states in
the description of http-reuse that specific modes differ in how the
first request of a session is handled.
What is session in this context?
2. We read there also that in case of safe mode that "The first
request of a session is always sent over its own connection (...) This
ensures that in case the server closes the connection when the request
is being sent, the browser can decide to silently retry it"
How does the fact that the first request of a session is always sent
over its own connections ensure that the browser can decide to silently
retry it? Why wouldn't it be possible in case when that first request
were dispatched over an already existing connection?
3. After what time and by what criteria is a connection recognized idle
in tcp and http mode?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
