[Bug 204474] [NEW] squid must be restarted after configuration change

[Andrew]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: squid

I am using squid to server as an intermediary proxy on my work laptop.
At home I have squid going directly to the internet, but at work I have
it use my work's proxy as an upstream proxy for all requests. I also
often switch from my wired (eth0) at work to my wireless (wlan0) at
home.

When I go from work to home I use the switchconf package to update the
squid configuration and tell squid to reload. I am doing this via:

/etc/init.d/squid force-reload

Although some connections seem to go through, squid seems to not respond
for most requests. I am usually forced to run:

/etc/init.d/squid restart

This wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take 10-30 seconds to execute.
According to the docs, it seems like the "force-reload" should work and
there should be no reason to have to restart the proxy.

xubuntu: 7.10
squid: 2.6.14-1ubuntu2.1
switchconf: 0.0.6-1
