Option Name: pconn_lifetime
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: pconn_lifetime 0 seconds
Suggested Config:
Desired maximum lifetime of a persistent connection. When set, Squid will close a now-idle persistent connection that exceeded configured lifetime instead of moving the connection into the idle connection pool (or equivalent). No effect on ongoing/active transactions. Connection lifetime is the time period from the connection acceptance or opening time until “now”. This limit is useful in environments with long-lived connections where Squid configuration or environmental factors change during a single connection lifetime. If unrestricted, some connections may last for hours and even days, ignoring those changes that should have affected their behavior or their existence. Currently, a new lifetime value supplied via Squid reconfiguration has no effect on already idle connections unless they become busy. When set to '0' this limit is not used.
