TAG NAME range_offset_limit

Description Sets a upper limit on how far into the file a Range request may be to cause Squid to prefetch the whole file
Buid Option
 Default
Usage
 range_offset_limit bytes
Default
 range_offset_limit 0 KB
Synopsis

If beyond this limit then Squid forwards the Range request as it is and the result is NOT cached.

This is to stop a far ahead range request (lets say start at 17MB) from making Squid fetch the whole object up to that point before sending anything to the client.

A value of -1 causes Squid to always fetch the object from the beginning so that it may cache the result. (2.0 style)
A value of 0 causes Squid to never fetch more than the client requested. (default)


Arguments

bytes
 Upper limit for the range request


Example(s)
range_offset_limit 17 MB
