24 <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
26 This backend filter is a Z39.50 client. This modules
27 proxies all Z39.50 packages to a target. HTTP packages are ignored.
28 The address of the backend target (host) can be given as part of the
29 Initialize Request (Virtual host) or the default target may be specified
34 <varlistentry><term>timeout</term>
37 Specifies how long the client will wait for any request
38 before giving up. Default value is 30 seconds.
42 <varlistentry><term>default_target</term>
45 Specifies the target (host) for the Z39.50 server to be used
46 if the Init Request does not indicate otherwise.
50 <varlistentry><term>force_target</term>
53 Specifies the target (host) for the Z39.50 server to be used
54 always (regardless of Init Request vhost).
58 <varlistentry><term>force_close</term>
61 Is a boolean value (false, true). If true, the Z39.50 client will
62 terminate Z39.50 sessions with a close APDU followed by a socket close.
63 If false (default), the Z39.50 client will be transparent and only
64 send a close if the peer client does it too.
