Sudheer Vinukonda commented on TS-3661:
---------------------------------------
[~zwoop] found that this issue also affects the *escalate* plugin, which relies
on the internal redirect follow mechanism.
> cache broken during 3xx redirect follow response
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TS-3661
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3661
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP
> Reporter: Sudheer Vinukonda
>
> During a 3xx redirect follow, the current TS implementation is that, it
> creates a new cache key for the redirect follow request and stores the
> response against the new cache key.
> There's some logic in *HttpCacheSM::open_write* that's basically to check
> that a txn is not stuck in a open_write loop.
> https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/blob/master/proxy/http/HttpCacheSM.cc#L289
> The logic basically is to check the current *open_write_tries* for a given
> *cache_sm* object against *proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_write_retries*
> and against *redirection_tries* for that txn. The assumption here is that, we
> allow atleast one *open_write_try* per redirect follow attempt.
> {code}
> if (open_write_tries > master_sm->redirection_tries &&
> open_write_tries >
> master_sm->t_state.http_config_param->max_cache_open_write_retries) {
> master_sm->handleEvent(CACHE_EVENT_OPEN_WRITE_FAILED, (void
> *)-ECACHE_DOC_BUSY);
> return ACTION_RESULT_DONE;
> }
> {code}
> However, the *open_write_tries counter* is incremented before checking the
> condition, while *redirection_tries* is only incremented after receiving the
> server response which is too late. This results in basically open_write_tries
> being incremented ahead and would always fail the check (except, for a
> non-default value (> 1) for *proxy.config.http.cache.max_open_write_retries*)
> In 4.x, there's some additional logic with *secondary_cache_sm*, which
> performs an additional lookup with the new object which succeeds. This seems
> to have been cleaned up recently and exposed the above issue.
> Fixing this should be very simple. Either reset the *open_write_tries*
> counter in *cache_sm.close_write()* which is performed during the redirect
> follow (before open_write with new cache_key), or adjust the logic a bit
> (e.g. swap around the point at which the counters are incremented etc).
