Child makes DNS request for stale objects  #2376

Description

@mlibbey

After #1756 we expect that a Child will not make a DNS request for its origin unless it doesn't match parent selection. In 7.1, when a stale object is requested from a child, it will still make a DNS request for the origin, despite a successful matching parent selection.

Can reproduce by:

  • create remap, parent configs with an origin that doesn't have a DNS entry.
  • PUSH an object matching that remap to a child and parent.
    • For the child have it expire quickly. For the parent, have it expire "a long time from now"
  • A fetch from child before expires should succeed with a 200 status code.
  • Once the child's expiry time has passed, fetch again from the child. The status code will be
    HTTP/1.1 502 Cannot find server. with no parent in the Via: header.

The expected behavior would be that the child would match the parent selection, and thus does not perform the DNS lookup. As a result the parent would appear in the Via: and it would serve the 200, with the child re-freshing its stale object.
