@smithdh : thanks a lot for the PR. Your observation is absolutely correct, that said if you use the whole URL as the key it will make the client open a new connection for every single file, which would kill the performance. Instead of using the full url as the key, I would change the `GetChannelID` method and replace: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/f00acdc7559b5189583945b4c27e06dc2637df3e/src/XrdCl/XrdClURL.cc#L496 with ``` std::string ret = pProtocol + "://" + pHostId + "/"; ``` I think this should work, maybe you could give it a try? -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/pull/1824#issuecomment-1321879048 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
