Description
The cache can be configured to continue downloading aborted requests. This may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy caches. Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting downloads.

When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the quick_abort values to the amount of data transferred until then.

If the transfer has less than ‘quick_abort_min’ KB remaining, it will finish the retrieval. Setting ‘quick_abort_min’ to –1 will disable the quick_abort feature.

If the transfer has more than ‘quick_abort_max’ KB remaining, it will abort the retrieval.

If more than ‘quick_abort_pct’ of the transfer has completed, it will finish the retrieval.

Default quick_abort_min 16 KB
quick_abort_max 16 KB
quick_abort_pct 95

Caution
This may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy caches.
