So thats from: debug(33, 5) ("clientReadRequest: FD %d closed?\n", fd); F->flags.socket_eof = 1; conn->defer.until = squid_curtime + 1; conn->defer.n++; fd_note_static(fd, "half-closed"); > 2008/06/23 10:57:55| cbdataLock: 0x655b16c0 > 2008/06/23 10:57:55| cbdataValid: 0x655b16c0 > 2008/06/23 10:57:55| cbdataUnlock: 0x655b16c0 > 2008/06/23 10:57:55| commSetSelect: FD 11314 type 1 > 2008/06/23 10:57:55| commSetEvents(fd=11314) I'd modify that debug to include the conn->defer.n value, so you can see what the heck is going on. The defer count should grow to a fixed amount before the socket is properly closed. Try setting half_closed_clients to off?

The sockets are returning EOF (0 byte reads) and should be closed. The question is why thats happening..
