Configuration Details:
Option Name: connect_retries
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: Do not retry failed connections.
Suggested Config:
Limits the number of reopening attempts when establishing a single TCP connection. All these attempts must still complete before the applicable connection opening timeout expires. By default and when connect_retries is set to zero, Squid does not retry failed connection opening attempts. The (not recommended) maximum is 10 tries. An attempt to configure a higher value results in the value of 10 being used (with a warning). Squid may open connections to retry various high-level forwarding failures. For an outside observer, that activity may look like a low-level connection reopening attempt, but those high-level retries are governed by forward_max_tries instead. See also: connect_timeout, forward_timeout, icap_connect_timeout, and forward_max_tries.
