             Summary: collapsed_forwarding plugin returns TSREMAP_DID_REMAP though it did not perform remap
                 Key: TS-4888
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4888
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Bug

            Reporter: Rajendra Kishore Bonumahanti


Collapsed_forwarding plugin returns TSREMAP_DID_REMAP as a return value though it did not perform any remap. This causes ATS not to perform remap and makes the transaction failed due to DNS lookup error on "from url".

For more details..

Hi,

I am testing collapsed_forwarding plugin (https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/admin-guide/plugins/collapsed_forwarding.en.html?highlight=collapsed_forwarding) via ATS 6.2.x branch.

We observed an error "DNS error 2 for [testurl.com]" for cache-miss, when remap.config is configured with "collapsed_forwarding" to work alone as a remap plugin. We must modify TSRemapDoRemap() in the plugin to "return TSREMAP_NO_REMAP" to allow DNS lookup successful. It does not seem right for the plugin to do "return TSREMAP_NO_REMAP" when it did not.

Can someone help me to understand how this plugin needs to be used? Or does it require the fix I mentioned above?

Regards,
Kishore

== Sample remap.config entry and cach miss error when used "collapsed_forwarding" by itself == map http://testurl.com/ http://origin.com/ @plugin=collapsed_forwarding.so @pparam=--delay=10 @pparam=--retries=5

I observed that during cache-miss, DNS query happens on the 'from' url (hostname) in the remap and it gets failed.

I further looked in to the code and found that it is due to return code from the plugin is TSREMAP_DID_REMAP in TSRemapDoRemap(). It makes ATS not to perform remap.
