Features and Enhancements in 4.0.14

In addition to fixing quite a number of bugs, as listed in Table 11, the 4.0.14 release of iPlanet Web Proxy Server provides a number of enhancements to address customer requests:

• The ChannelPoolValidate directive has been added to the magnus.conf file. It controls whether the channel pool is actively checked for stale or closed connections.

• The ChannelPoolMonitorInterval directive has been added to the magnus.conf file. It specifies how frequently the channel pool is to be checked for stale or closed connections.

• The ChannelReuseValidate directive has been added to the magnus.conf file. It controls whether persistent connections are validated before they are reused.

• The always-retry-stale-keep-alive parameter has been added to the http-client-config SAF. It controls whether the HTTP client retries a failed request even when the number of retries is set to zero, provided that the request failure was due to a stale persistent connection.
