The setting Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth can be used to
enable HTTP pipelining (RFC 2616 section 8.1.2.2) which can be beneficial e.g. on
high-latency connections. It specifies how many requests are sent in a pipeline.
- Previous APT versions had a default of 10 for this setting, but the default value
- is now 0 (= disabled) to avoid problems with the ever-growing amount of webservers
- and proxies which choose to not conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.
+ APT tries to detect and workaround misbehaving webservers and proxies at runtime, but
+ if you know that yours does not conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification pipelining can
+ be disabled by setting the value to 0. It is enabled by default with the value 10.
Acquire::http::AllowRedirect controls whether APT will follow
redirects, which is enabled by default.
