Hello,
My name is Lior Brown, a research assistant from Ariel University, and cont=
ributer of squid-cache.
I am currently working on a research project involving request dispatching =
and peer selection within the Squid-cache core.
During my development, I have encountered several mechanisms and logic bloc=
ks within the source code that deliberately prevent or queue parallel HTTP =
requests for the same URL, effectively serializing them.
I would like to understand the fundamental design rationale behind these re=
strictions. Specifically:
Are these blocks in place due to specific architectural constraints (such a=
s memory management or Store Entry state transitions)?
Are there known side effects or risks I should be aware of if I attempt to =
implement parallel requesting for identical objects in a research environme=
nt?
I want to ensure I fully understand the system's design philosophy before p=
roceeding with any modifications.
Thank you for your time and insights.
best regards,
