12 | This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file. | |
13 | This documentation can also be found online at: | |
14 | http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ | |
15 | ||
16 | You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the | |
17 | FAQ and other documentation: | |
18 | http://www.squid-cache.org/ | |
19 | http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq | |
20 | http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples | |
21 | ||
22 | This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives | |
23 | happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should | |
24 | leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases. | |
25 | ||
26 | In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all, | |
27 | while in other cases it refers to the value of the option | |
28 | - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case. | |

33 | Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. | |
5945964d | 34 | Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are |
592a09dc | 35 | supported. |
36 | ||
37 | For example, | |
38 | ||
39 | include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config | |
40 | ||
41 | Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. | |
42 | This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references | |
43 | from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load | |
44 | configuration files. | |

46 | Values with byte units |
47 | ||
a01a87d9 AJ |
48 | Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All |
49 | such directives are documented with a default value displaying | |
50 | a unit. | |
a345387f AJ |
51 | |
52 | Units accepted by Squid are: | |
a01a87d9 AJ |
53 | bytes - byte |
54 | KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes) | |
a345387f AJ |
55 | MB - Megabyte |
56 | GB - Gigabyte | |

58 | Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters |
59 | ||
60 | Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other | |
61 | special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use | |
62 | the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or | |
63 | disable that support. | |
64 | ||
65 | Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external | |
66 | files using the syntax: | |
67 | parameters("/path/filename") | |
68 | For example: | |
69 | acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt") | |
70 | ||
5735d30b AR |
71 | Conditional configuration |
72 | ||
73 | If-statements can be used to make configuration directives | |
74 | depend on conditions: | |
75 | ||
76 | if <CONDITION> | |
77 | ... regular configuration directives ... | |
78 | [else | |
79 | ... regular configuration directives ...] | |
80 | endif | |
81 | ||
82 | The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif" | |
83 | must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular | |
84 | configuration directives. | |
85 | ||
5945964d AJ |
86 | NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported. |
87 | ||
5735d30b AR |
88 | These individual conditions types are supported: |
89 | ||
90 | true | |
91 | Always evaluates to true. | |
92 | false | |
93 | Always evaluates to false. | |
94 | <integer> = <integer> | |
95 | Equality comparison of two integer numbers. | |
96 | ||
97 | ||
d4a3e179 AR |
98 | SMP-Related Macros |
99 | ||
100 | The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used. | |
101 | ||
102 | ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name" | |
103 | (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1). | |
104 | ||
105 | ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process | |
106 | identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique | |
6fe8c876 AJ |
107 | across all Squid processes of the current service instance. |
108 | ||
109 | ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance | |
110 | name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line. | |

41bd17a4 | 384 | NAME: auth_param |
385 | TYPE: authparam | |
2f1431ea | 386 | IFDEF: USE_AUTH |
5817ee13 | 387 | LOC: Auth::TheConfig |
cccac0a2 | 388 | DEFAULT: none |
389 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 390 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
391 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 392 | |
66c583dc | 393 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 394 | |
41bd17a4 | 395 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
396 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
397 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
398 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
399 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
400 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
401 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
402 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
403 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 404 | |
41bd17a4 | 405 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
406 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
407 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
408 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 409 | |
41bd17a4 | 410 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
411 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
412 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
413 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
414 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
415 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
416 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
417 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
418 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 419 | |
41bd17a4 | 420 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
421 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
422 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
423 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
424 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |
425 | authentication disabled. | |

427 | === Parameters common to all schemes. === |
428 | ||
429 | "program" cmdline | |
66c583dc | 430 | Specifies the command for the external authenticator. |
d4806c91 | 431 | |
66c583dc AJ |
432 | By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a |
433 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 434 | |
66c583dc AJ |
435 | See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for |
436 | more details on helper operations and creating your own. | |
5269ec0e | 437 | |
66c583dc AJ |
438 | "key_extras" format |
439 | Specifies a string to be append to request line format for | |
440 | the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain | |
441 | spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro | |
442 | can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if | |
443 | the helper request is sent before the required macro | |
444 | information is available to Squid. | |
445 | ||
446 | By default, Squid uses request formats provided in | |
447 | scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). | |
448 | ||
449 | The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials | |
450 | cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to | |
451 | autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., | |
452 | when user authentication depends on http_port). | |
453 | ||
454 | Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For | |
455 | example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently | |
456 | in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat | |
457 | every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL | |
458 | and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also | |
459 | force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP | |
460 | changes. | |
461 | ||
462 | "realm" string | |
463 | Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be | |
464 | reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is | |
465 | commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for | |
466 | their username and password. | |
467 | ||
468 | For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". | |
469 | For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. | |
470 | For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. | |
5269ec0e | 471 | |
6825b101 | 472 | "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] [queue-size=N] |
5269ec0e | 473 | |
66c583dc AJ |
474 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If |
475 | you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process | |
476 | a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When | |
477 | password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are | |
478 | likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
5269ec0e | 479 | |
66c583dc AJ |
480 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact |
481 | amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup | |

486 | The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests |
487 | the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers | |
488 | who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a | |
489 | number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a | |
490 | channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing | |

789 | If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not | |
790 | URL escaped to protect against whitespace. | |
791 | ||
792 | NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. | |
793 | ||
794 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by | |
795 | introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. | |
796 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |

887 | Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour. |
888 | The available options are: | |
889 | ||
890 | -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them | |
891 | case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive | |
892 | use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line | |
893 | without -i. | |
894 | ||
895 | -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or | |
896 | conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or | |
897 | domain name) does not match the message address type (domain | |
898 | name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch | |
899 | without any warnings or lookups. | |
900 | ||
901 | -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl | |
902 | value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-' | |
903 | is a valid domain name) | |

905 | Some acl types require suspending the current request in order |
906 | to access some external data source. | |
907 | Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which | |
908 | don't are marked as [fast]. | |

1247 | * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or | |

1250 | This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol | |
1251 | connections received from a port flagged with require-proxy-header. | |
1252 | It is checked only once after TCP connection setup. | |
1253 | ||
1254 | A deny match results in TCP connection closure. | |
1255 | ||
1256 | An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding | |
1257 | TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers. | |
1258 | If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information | |
1259 | to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL | |
1260 | checks, logging, etc. | |

70a16fea AJ |
1301 | On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields. |
1302 | If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow | |
1303 | match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value. | |
1304 | The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be | |
1305 | tested, or there are no more values to test. | |
1306 | NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header. | |
3d674977 AJ |
1307 | |
1308 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
1309 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
57d76dd4 | 1310 | be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay |

1645 | DOC_START | |
1646 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |
1647 | used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as | |
1648 | MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the | |
1649 | reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where | |
1650 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
1651 | for this reply. | |
1652 | ||
1653 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
1654 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
1655 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
1656 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
1657 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
1658 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
1659 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
1660 | ||
1661 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
1662 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
1663 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
1664 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
1665 | ||
1666 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
1667 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |
1668 | non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus | |
1669 | the size of your largest error page. | |

1686 | DOC_START | |
1687 | Determines Squid behavior when encountering strange requests at the | |
1688 | beginning of an accepted TCP connection. This is especially useful in | |
1689 | interception environments where Squid is likely to see connections for | |
1690 | unsupported protocols that Squid should either terminate or tunnel at | |
1691 | TCP level. | |
1692 | ||
1693 | on_unsupported_protocol <action> [!]acl ... | |
1694 | ||
1695 | The first matching action wins. | |
1696 | ||
1697 | Supported actions are: | |
1698 | ||
1699 | tunnel: Establish a TCP connection with the intended server and | |
1700 | blindly shovel TCP packets between the client and server. | |
1701 | ||
1702 | respond: Respond with an error message, using the transfer protocol | |
1703 | for the Squid port that received the request (e.g., HTTP | |
1704 | for connections intercepted at the http_port). This is the | |
1705 | default. | |
1706 | ||
1707 | Currently, this directive is ignored for non-intercepted connections | |
1708 | because Squid cannot know what their intended destination is. | |
1709 | ||
1710 | For example: | |
1711 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving non-HTTP traffic: | |
1712 | acl foreignProtocol squid_error ERR_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN ERR_TOO_BIG | |
1713 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving nothing: | |
1714 | acl serverTalksFirstProtocol squid_error ERR_REQUEST_START_TIMEOUT | |
1715 | # tunnel everything that does not look like HTTP: | |
1716 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel foreignProtocol | |
1717 | # tunnel if we think the client waits for the server to talk first: | |
1718 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel serverTalksFirstProtocol | |
1719 | # in all other error cases, just send an HTTP "error page" response: | |

1739 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
1740 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
1741 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
1742 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
1743 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
c7b1dd5d | 1744 | address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific |
5b0f5383 | 1745 | address, so you can use the port number alone. |
1746 | ||
1747 | If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you | |
1748 | probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. | |
1749 | ||
1750 | The -a command line option may be used to specify additional | |
1751 | port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will | |

2137 | Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid |
2138 | listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various | |
2139 | ways to specify the listening address and mode. | |
2140 | ||
2141 | Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options] | |
2142 | ||
2143 | WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen | |
2144 | limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not | |
2145 | currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not | |
2146 | even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying! | |
2147 | ||
2148 | Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests | |
2149 | with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives | |
2150 | actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs). | |
2151 | ||
2152 | Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or | |
2153 | wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP | |
2154 | responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages | |
2155 | are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers | |
2156 | between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to | |
2157 | examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP | |
2158 | mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, | |
2159 | http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. | |
2160 | ||
2161 | Modes: | |
2162 | ||
3cc0f4e7 | 2163 | intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is |
8a2f40dd AR |
2164 | determined based on the intended destination of the |
2165 | intercepted connection. | |
2166 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2167 | tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing |
2168 | connections using the client IP address. | |
2169 | NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. | |
2170 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2171 | By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the |
2172 | FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER | |
2173 | command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying. | |
2174 | ||
2175 | Options: | |
2176 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2177 | name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to |
2178 | the port address. Usable with myportname ACL. | |

8a2f40dd AR |
2181 | Enables tracking of FTP directories by injecting extra |
2182 | PWD commands and adjusting Request-URI (in wrapping | |
2183 | HTTP requests) to reflect the current FTP server | |
aea65fec | 2184 | directory. Tracking is disabled by default. |
8a2f40dd | 2185 | |
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2186 | protocol=FTP Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted |
2187 | requests with. Defaults to FTP. No other accepted | |
2188 | values have been tested with. An unsupported value | |
2189 | results in a FATAL error. Accepted values are FTP, | |
2190 | HTTP (or HTTP/1.1), and HTTPS (or HTTPS/1.1). | |
2191 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2192 | Other http_port modes and options that are not specific to HTTP and |
2193 | HTTPS may also work. | |

2469 | |
2470 | As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used | |
2471 | to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for | |
2472 | malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin | |
2473 | security policy and sandboxing protections. | |
2474 | ||
2475 | The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their | |
2476 | own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser | |
2477 | sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP | |
2478 | as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may | |
2479 | be different from the connected IP and approved origin. | |

2488 | With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request | |
2489 | directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster | |
2490 | source using the HTTP Host header. | |
2491 | ||
2492 | Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster | |
2493 | connectivity with a range of failure recovery options. | |
2494 | But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and | |
2495 | server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy. | |
2496 | ||
2497 | This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being | |
2498 | located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server. | |
2499 | The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead. | |
2500 | ||
2501 | Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted | |
2502 | traffic Squid will verify the Host: header and any traffic which | |
2503 | fails Host verification will be treated as if this option were ON. | |

2849 | Squid first groups sslproxy_cert_adapt options by adaptation algorithm. |
2850 | Within a group, when sslproxy_cert_adapt acl(s) match, Squid uses the | |
2851 | corresponding adaptation algorithm to generate the certificate and | |
2852 | ignores all subsequent sslproxy_cert_adapt options in that algorithm's | |
2853 | group (i.e., the first match wins within each algorithm group). If no | |
2854 | acl(s) match, the default mimicking action takes place. | |

2b94f655 | 3014 | |
41bd17a4 | 3015 | For example, |
2b94f655 | 3016 | |
41bd17a4 | 3017 | # proxy icp |
3018 | # hostname type port port options | |

2b94f655 AJ |
3024 | cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0 |
3025 | ||
3026 | type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. | |
3027 | ||
3028 | proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests. | |
3029 | For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128 | |
3030 | For web servers this is usually 80 | |
3031 | ||
3032 | icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects. | |
3033 | Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP. | |
3034 | See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details. | |
3035 | ||
3036 | ||
3037 | ==== ICP OPTIONS ==== | |
3038 | ||
3039 | You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3040 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP. | |
3041 | ||
3042 | ||
3043 | no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor. | |
3044 | ||
3045 | multicast-responder | |
3046 | Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group. | |
3047 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
3048 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
3049 | ||
3050 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
3051 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
3052 | ||
3053 | background-ping | |
3054 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
3055 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
3056 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
3057 | ||
3058 | ||
3059 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
3060 | ||
3061 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3062 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
3063 | ||
3064 | ||
3065 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
3066 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
18191440 AJ |
3067 | instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated |
3068 | list of options described below. | |
2b94f655 | 3069 | |
18191440 | 3070 | htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). |
2b94f655 | 3071 | |
18191440 | 3072 | htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
2b94f655 | 3073 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with |
18191440 | 3074 | only-clr. |
2b94f655 | 3075 | |
18191440 AJ |
3076 | htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. |
3077 | This cannot be used with no-clr. | |
2b94f655 | 3078 | |
18191440 | 3079 | htcp=no-purge-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3080 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when |
3081 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
3082 | ||
18191440 | 3083 | htcp=forward-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3084 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. |
3085 | ||
3086 | ||
3087 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
3088 | ||
3089 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
3090 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
3091 | ||
3092 | ||
3093 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
3094 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
3095 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
3096 | ||
3097 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3098 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
3099 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3100 | ||
3101 | weighted-round-robin | |
3102 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3103 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
3104 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
3105 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
3106 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3107 | ||
3108 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
3109 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
3110 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
3111 | ||
3112 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
3113 | ||
3114 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
8a368316 AJ |
3115 | |
3116 | multicast-siblings | |
3117 | To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". | |
3118 | ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" | |
2e9993e1 | 3119 | relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast |
8a368316 AJ |
3120 | group when the requested object would be fetched only from |
3121 | a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when | |
3122 | configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being | |
3123 | members of the same multicast group. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3124 | |
3125 | ||
3126 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
3127 | ||
3128 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
3129 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
3130 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
3131 | larger weights are favored more. | |
3132 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
3133 | protocol is not in use. | |
3134 | ||
3135 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
3136 | times of parents. | |
3137 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
3138 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
3139 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
3140 | ||
3c72389f AJ |
3141 | ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries |
3142 | to this address. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3143 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. |
3144 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
3145 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
3146 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
3147 | ||
3148 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
3149 | delay pools. | |
3150 | ||
3151 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
3152 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
3153 | than the Squid default location. | |
3154 | ||
3155 | ||
de03b596 FC |
3156 | ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== |
3157 | ||
3158 | carp-key=key-specification | |
3159 | use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. | |
3160 | the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords | |
3161 | scheme, host, port, path, params | |
3162 | Order is not important. | |
3163 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3164 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== |
3165 | ||
3166 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
3167 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
3168 | is a web server. | |
3169 | ||
3170 | forceddomain=name | |
3171 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
3172 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
3173 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
3174 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
3175 | ||
3176 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
3177 | ||
3178 | no-netdb-exchange | |
3179 | Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). | |
3180 | ||
3181 | ||
3182 | ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== | |
3183 | ||
3184 | login=user:password | |
3185 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3186 | requires proxy authentication. | |
3187 | ||
3188 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
3189 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
3190 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
3191 | login=PASSTHRU |
3192 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
3193 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
3194 | without alteration to the peer. | |
3195 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
3196 | ||
3197 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
3198 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
3199 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 3200 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3201 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
3202 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 3203 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3204 | If there are no client-provided authentication headers |
3205 | to pass on, but username and password are available | |
ee0b94f4 HN |
3206 | from an external ACL user= and password= result tags |
3207 | they may be sent instead. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3208 | |
3209 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
3210 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
3211 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |
3212 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy | |
3213 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION | |
3214 | ||
3215 | login=*:password | |
3216 | Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a | |
3217 | fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer | |
3218 | is in another administrative domain, but it is still | |
3219 | needed to identify each user. | |
3220 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
3221 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
3222 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
3223 | the login=username:password option above. | |
3224 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3225 | login=NEGOTIATE |
3226 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3227 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3228 | The first principal from the default keytab or defined by | |
3229 | the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used. | |
3230 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3231 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3232 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3233 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3234 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3235 | login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name |
3236 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3237 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3238 | The principal principal_name from the default keytab or | |
3239 | defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be | |
3240 | used. | |
3241 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3242 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3243 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3244 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3245 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3246 | connection-auth=on|off |
3247 | Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft | |
3248 | connection oriented authentication, and any such | |
3249 | challenges received from there should be ignored. | |
3250 | Default is auto to automatically determine the status | |
3251 | of the peer. | |
3252 | ||
3253 | ||

3255 | ||
3256 | ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS. | |
3257 | ||
3258 | sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate | |

3260 | this peer. | |
3261 | ||
3262 | sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key | |
3263 | The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above. | |
3264 | If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to | |

3343 | ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== | |
3344 | ||
3345 | connect-timeout=N | |
3346 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
3347 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
3348 | ||
3349 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
3350 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
e8dca475 CT |
3351 | it is marked as down. Standby connection failures |
3352 | count towards this limit. Default is 10. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3353 | |
3354 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
3355 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
3356 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use | |
3357 | of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you | |
3358 | should avoid having two-way peerings with this option. | |
3359 | For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer | |
3360 | by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer. | |
3361 | ||
e8dca475 CT |
3362 | max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid |
3363 | may open to this peer, including already opened idle | |
3364 | and standby connections. There is no peer-specific | |
3365 | connection limit by default. | |
3366 | ||
3367 | A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new | |
3368 | requests unless a standby connection is available. | |
3369 | ||
3370 | max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent | |
3371 | connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, | |
3372 | and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, | |
3373 | the peer may not be selected because the limiting code | |
3374 | does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle | |
3375 | connections. | |
3376 | ||
3377 | standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an | |
3378 | UP peer, available for requests when no idle | |
3379 | persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. | |
3380 | By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. | |
3381 | N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). | |
3382 | ||
3383 | At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP | |
3384 | standby connections until there are N connections | |
3385 | available and then replenishes the standby pool as | |
3386 | opened connections are used up for requests. A used | |
3387 | connection never goes back to the standby pool, but | |
3388 | may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool | |
3389 | shared by all peers and origin servers. | |
3390 | ||
3391 | Squid never opens multiple new standby connections | |
3392 | concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes | |
3393 | flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few | |
3394 | standby connections should be sufficient in most cases | |
3395 | to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use | |
3396 | connection. | |
3397 | ||
3398 | Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. | |
3399 | For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be | |
3400 | configured to accept and keep them open longer than | |
3401 | the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize | |
3402 | race conditions typical to idle used persistent | |
3403 | connections. Default request_timeout and | |
3404 | server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a | |
3405 | configuration. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3406 | |
3407 | name=xxx Unique name for the peer. | |
3408 | Required if you have multiple peers on the same host | |
3409 | but different ports. | |
3410 | This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar | |
3411 | directives to dentify the peer. | |
3412 | Can be used by outgoing access controls through the | |
3413 | peername ACL type. | |

3465 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |

3467 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
3468 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
3469 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
3470 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
699acd19 | 3471 | |
41bd17a4 | 3472 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP |
3473 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
3474 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
3475 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
3476 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |

3506 | USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER | |
3507 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
3508 | ||
3509 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
3510 | for: | |
3511 | * In-Transit objects | |
3512 | * Hot Objects | |
3513 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
3514 | ||
3515 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
3516 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
3517 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
3518 | priority. | |
3519 | ||
3520 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
3521 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
3522 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
3523 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
3524 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
3525 | ||
3526 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
3527 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
3528 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
3529 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
3530 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
3531 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
3532 | objects. | |
29f35ca5 AR |
3533 | |
3534 | If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared | |
3535 | cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much | |
3536 | local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory | |

3560 | ||
70f856bc AR |
3561 | The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace |
3562 | the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be | |
3563 | cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit | |
3564 | objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory | |
3565 | caching is enabled). | |
3566 | ||
65b81b27 | 3567 | By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the |
70f856bc AR |
3568 | following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with |
3569 | multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment | |
3570 | supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments | |
3571 | and GCC-style atomic operations). | |
3572 | ||
3573 | To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms | |
3574 | that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been | |
3575 | shared among SMP workers will actually be shared. | |
3576 | ||
3577 | Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared. | |

0976f8db | 3629 | |
41bd17a4 | 3630 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
3631 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
3632 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
3633 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 3634 | |
41bd17a4 | 3635 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
3636 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
3637 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
3638 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 3639 | |
41bd17a4 | 3640 | Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents |

3692 | Format: |
3693 | cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options] | |
0976f8db | 3694 | |
41bd17a4 | 3695 | You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the |
3696 | cache among different disk partitions. | |
0976f8db | 3697 | |
41bd17a4 | 3698 | Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs" |
3699 | is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems | |
3700 | see the --enable-storeio configure option. | |
0976f8db | 3701 | |
41bd17a4 | 3702 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
3703 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
3704 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. | |
3705 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid | |
3706 | process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. | |
0976f8db | 3707 | |

3708 | In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option |
3709 | and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each | |
3710 | worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory. | |

3712 | |
3713 | ==== The ufs store type ==== | |
0976f8db | 3714 | |
41bd17a4 | 3715 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
3716 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 3717 | |
638402dd AJ |
3718 | Usage: |
3719 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
0976f8db | 3720 | |
41bd17a4 | 3721 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
3722 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
3723 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
3724 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
3725 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
0976f8db | 3726 | |
56fba4d0 | 3727 | 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 3728 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. |
0976f8db | 3729 | |
56fba4d0 | 3730 | 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 3731 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default |
3732 | is 256. | |
0976f8db | 3733 | |

3734 | |
3735 | ==== The aufs store type ==== | |
7f7db318 | 3736 | |
41bd17a4 | 3737 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
3738 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
3739 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |
38f9c547 | 3740 | |
638402dd AJ |
3741 | Usage: |
3742 | cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
38f9c547 | 3743 | |
41bd17a4 | 3744 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
38f9c547 | 3745 | |
638402dd AJ |
3746 | |
3747 | ==== The diskd store type ==== | |
38f9c547 | 3748 | |
41bd17a4 | 3749 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
3750 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
3751 | disk-I/O. | |
4c3ef9b2 | 3752 | |
638402dd AJ |
3753 | Usage: |
3754 | cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n] | |
0976f8db | 3755 | |
41bd17a4 | 3756 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 3757 | |
41bd17a4 | 3758 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
3759 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3760 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 3761 | |
41bd17a4 | 3762 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
3763 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3764 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 3765 | |
41bd17a4 | 3766 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
3767 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
3768 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
3769 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
3770 | time. | |

3773 | ==== The rock store type ==== |
3774 | ||
3775 | Usage: | |
e51ce7da | 3776 | cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options] |
e2851fe7 | 3777 | |
2e55f083 | 3778 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e51ce7da AR |
3779 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots. |
3780 | A single entry occupies one or more slots. | |
e2851fe7 | 3781 | |
3e1dfe3d AR |
3782 | If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid |
3783 | process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk | |
3784 | I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers | |
3785 | are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support | |
3786 | for the IpcIo disk I/O module. | |
3787 | ||
43ebbac3 AR |
3788 | swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or |
3789 | reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation | |
3790 | will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By | |
3791 | default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit | |
3792 | enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because | |
3793 | blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the | |
3794 | expected swap wait time. | |
3795 | ||
df881a0f | 3796 | max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using |
1e614370 | 3797 | the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that |
df881a0f | 3798 | would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are |
1e614370 DK |
3799 | delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are |
3800 | not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and | |
3801 | since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out | |
3802 | requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. | |
3803 | This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too | |
df881a0f AR |
3804 | many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes |
3805 | while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together | |
3806 | with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows | |
3807 | when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default | |
3808 | and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit | |
3809 | enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. | |
3810 | ||
e51ce7da AR |
3811 | slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for |
3812 | storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least | |
3813 | one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so | |
3814 | increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while | |
3815 | decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a | |
3816 | multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to | |
3817 | 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and | |
3818 | smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than | |
3819 | 100 bytes. | |

3825 | ||
3826 | min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir | |
3827 | will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir | |
3828 | to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while | |
3829 | other stores are optimized for smaller objects | |
73656056 | 3830 | (e.g. Rock). |
638402dd | 3831 | Defaults to 0. |
0976f8db | 3832 | |
638402dd AJ |
3833 | max-size=n the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir |

3852 | DEFAULT: least-load | |
6b698a21 | 3853 | DOC_START |
638402dd AJ |
3854 | How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response |
3855 | object will fit into more than one. | |
3856 | ||
3857 | Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size | |
3858 | and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect | |
3859 | the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered | |
3860 | cache_dir. | |
3861 | ||
3862 | Algorithms: | |
3863 | ||
3864 | least-load | |
3865 | ||
3866 | This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir | |
3867 | sizes and disk speeds. | |
3868 | ||
3869 | The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. | |
3870 | When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking | |
3871 | the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. | |
3872 | ||
3873 | When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks | |
3874 | have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more | |
3875 | capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput | |
3876 | may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. | |
3877 | ||
3878 | ||
3879 | round-robin | |
3880 | ||
3881 | This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir | |
3882 | disk sizes. | |
3883 | ||
3884 | Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable | |
3885 | cache_dir is used. | |
3886 | ||
3887 | Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation | |
3888 | to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and | |
3889 | max-size parameters. | |
3890 | ||
3891 | Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow | |
3892 | disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any | |
3893 | I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. | |
3894 | ||
29a238a3 AR |
3895 | If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other |
3896 | limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such | |
3897 | cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias | |
3898 | towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave | |
3899 | cache_dir lines from different groups. For example: | |
3900 | ||
3901 | store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin | |
3902 | cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000 | |
3903 | cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999 | |
3904 | cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000 | |
3905 | cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999 | |
3906 | cache_dir rock /hdd3 ... min-size=100000 | |

4064 | the transaction is received from the client. This is | |
4065 | the same value that Squid uses to calculate transaction | |
4066 | response time when logging %tr to access.log. Currently, | |
4067 | Squid uses millisecond resolution for %tS values, | |
4068 | similar to the default access.log "current time" field | |
4069 | (%ts.%03tu). | |

5038f9d8 | 4189 | If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as |
3ff65596 AR |
4190 | well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option): |
4191 | ||
4192 | icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP | |
4193 | transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP | |

4195 | transaction is in progress. | |
4196 | ||
5038f9d8 | 4197 | If adaptation is enabled the following three codes become available: |
3ff65596 | 4198 | |
5038f9d8 AR |
4199 | adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or |
4200 | meta-information from the last eCAP | |

4204 | |
4205 | adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response | |
4206 | times recorded as a comma-separated list in | |
4207 | the order of transaction start time. Each time | |
4208 | value is recorded as an integer number, | |
4209 | representing response time of one or more | |
4210 | adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in | |
4211 | milliseconds. When a failed transaction is | |
4212 | being retried or repeated, its time is not | |
4213 | logged individually but added to the | |
4214 | replacement (next) transaction. See also: | |
4215 | adapt::all_trs. | |
4216 | ||
4217 | adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times. | |
4218 | Same as adaptation_strs but response times of | |
4219 | individual transactions are never added | |
4220 | together. Instead, all transaction response | |
4221 | times are recorded individually. | |
4222 | ||
4223 | You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation | |
4224 | service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific | |
4225 | to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs | |

4263 | Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions. |
4264 | If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every | |
4265 | matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are: | |
4266 | ||
4267 | access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...] | |
4268 | access_log none [acl acl ...] | |
4269 | ||
4270 | The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated: | |
82b7abe3 | 4271 | access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] |
fb0c2f17 NH |
4272 | |
4273 | In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character | |
4274 | and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always | |
4275 | start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions. | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4276 | |
4277 | Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which | |
41bd17a4 | 4278 | must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match |
4279 | ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses). | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4280 | If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination. |
4281 | ||
fb0c2f17 NH |
4282 | ===== Available options for the recommended directive format ===== |
4283 | ||
4284 | logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or | |
4285 | defined by a logformat directive). Defaults | |
4286 | to 'squid'. | |
4287 | ||
4288 | buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log | |
4289 | records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not | |
4290 | keep more than the specified size and, hence, | |
4291 | should flush records before the buffer becomes | |
4292 | full to avoid overflows under normal | |
4293 | conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is | |
4294 | module-dependent though). The on-error option | |
4295 | controls overflow handling. | |
4296 | ||
4297 | on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The | |
4298 | 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log) | |
4299 | affected log records. The default 'die' action | |
4300 | kills the affected worker. The drop action | |
4301 | support has not been tested for modules other | |
4302 | than tcp. | |
4303 | ||
efc23871 AJ |
4304 | rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to |
4305 | make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default | |
4306 | is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting | |
4307 | rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation, | |
4308 | but the log files are still closed and re-opened. | |
4309 | This will enable you to rename the logfiles | |
4310 | yourself just before sending the rotate signal. | |
4311 | Only supported by the stdio module. | |
4312 | ||
82b7abe3 AJ |
4313 | ===== Modules Currently available ===== |
4314 | ||
bb7a1781 | 4315 | none Do not log any requests matching these ACL. |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4316 | Do not specify Place or logformat name. |
4317 | ||
4318 | stdio Write each log line to disk immediately at the completion of | |
4319 | each request. | |
4320 | Place: the filename and path to be written. | |
4321 | ||
4322 | daemon Very similar to stdio. But instead of writing to disk the log | |
4323 | line is passed to a daemon helper for asychronous handling instead. | |
4324 | Place: varies depending on the daemon. | |
4325 | ||
4326 | log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written. | |
4327 | ||
4328 | syslog To log each request via syslog facility. | |
4329 | Place: The syslog facility and priority level for these entries. | |
4330 | Place Format: facility.priority | |
5473c134 | 4331 | |

4356 | DOC_START | |
4357 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
4358 | transaction. | |
4359 | ||
4360 | The icap_log option format is: | |
4361 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
4362 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
4363 | ||
4364 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
4365 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
4366 | features. | |
4367 | ||
4368 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
4369 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
4370 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
4371 | log line. | |
4372 | ||
4373 | ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP | |
4374 | transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header | |
4375 | embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats: | |
4376 | For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP | |
4377 | server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP | |
4378 | request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For | |
4379 | OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers. | |
4380 | ||
4381 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
4382 | ||
4383 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
4384 | ||
4385 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
4386 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
4387 | ||
4388 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
4389 | ||
4390 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
4391 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
4392 | ||
4393 | icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload | |
4394 | only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket). | |
4395 | ||
4396 | icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP | |
4397 | payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from | |
4398 | the socket). | |
4399 | ||
bae917ac CT |
4400 | icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the |
4401 | ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually | |
4402 | includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and | |
4403 | possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The | |
4404 | HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is | |
4405 | computed. | |
4406 | ||
3ff65596 AR |
4407 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in |
4408 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
4409 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
4410 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
4411 | Similar to tr. | |
4412 | ||
4413 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
4414 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
4415 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
4416 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
4417 | is received. | |
4418 | ||
4419 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
4420 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
4421 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
4422 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
4423 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
4424 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |
4425 | ||
4426 | icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs. | |
4427 | ||
4428 | icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h. | |
4429 | ||
4430 | icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h. | |
4431 | ||
4432 | The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit | |
4433 | definition, is called icap_squid: | |
4434 | ||
4435 | logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A - | |

5744 | extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly | |
5745 | forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow | |

5786 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
5787 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |
5788 | is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides | |
5789 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
5790 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
5791 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
5792 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
5793 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid | |
5794 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior | |
5795 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
5796 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
5797 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
5798 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
5799 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |
5800 | worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to | |
5801 | force fresh content. | |

41bd17a4 | 5849 | This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the |
5850 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3b07476b CT |
5851 | more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows |
5852 | removal of specific header fields under specific conditions. | |
5853 | ||
5854 | This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e., | |
5855 | headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer | |
5856 | or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit | |
5857 | detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP | |
5858 | terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
5859 | ||
5860 | The option is applied to individual outgoing request header | |
5861 | fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first | |
5862 | qualifying sets of request_header_access rules: | |
5863 | ||
5864 | 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name. | |
5865 | 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not | |
5866 | on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names. | |
5867 | 3. Rules with header_name 'All'. | |
5868 | ||
5869 | Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual. | |
5870 | If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to | |
5871 | go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is | |
5872 | removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify | |
5873 | if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the | |
5874 | set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is. | |

6012 | Field-name is a token specifying an HTTP header name. If a | |
6013 | standard HTTP header name is used, Squid does not check whether | |
6014 | the new header conflicts with any existing headers or violates | |
6015 | HTTP rules. If the request to be modified already contains a | |
6016 | field with the same name, the old field is preserved but the | |
6017 | header field values are not merged. | |
6018 | ||
6019 | Field-value is either a token or a quoted string. If quoted | |
6020 | string format is used, then the surrounding quotes are removed | |
6021 | while escape sequences and %macros are processed. | |
6022 | ||
6023 | In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros. | |
6024 | However, unlike logging (which happens at the very end of | |
6025 | transaction lifetime), the transaction may not yet have enough | |
6026 | information to expand a macro when the new header value is needed. | |
6027 | And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet | |
6028 | committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report | |
6029 | such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash | |
6030 | ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. | |
6031 | ||
6032 | One or more Squid ACLs may be specified to restrict header | |
6033 | injection to matching requests. As always in squid.conf, all | |

6209 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |

6215 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |

6227 | Desired maximum lifetime of a persistent connection. | |
6228 | When set, Squid will close a now-idle persistent connection that | |
6229 | exceeded configured lifetime instead of moving the connection into | |
6230 | the idle connection pool (or equivalent). No effect on ongoing/active | |
6231 | transactions. Connection lifetime is the time period from the | |
6232 | connection acceptance or opening time until "now". | |
6233 | ||
6234 | This limit is useful in environments with long-lived connections | |
6235 | where Squid configuration or environmental factors change during a | |
6236 | single connection lifetime. If unrestricted, some connections may | |
6237 | last for hours and even days, ignoring those changes that should | |
6238 | have affected their behavior or their existence. | |
6239 | ||
6240 | Currently, a new lifetime value supplied via Squid reconfiguration | |
6241 | has no effect on already idle connections unless they become busy. | |

6646 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
6647 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
0b68481a | 6648 | description of delay_class. |
9edd9041 | 6649 | |
0b68481a | 6650 | For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: |
6e7502cc | 6651 | delay_class pool 1 |
0b68481a | 6652 | delay_parameters pool aggregate |
9edd9041 | 6653 | |
6654 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6655 | delay_class pool 2 |
0b68481a | 6656 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual |
9edd9041 | 6657 | |
6658 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6659 | delay_class pool 3 |
0b68481a | 6660 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual |
9edd9041 | 6661 | |
6662 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6663 | delay_class pool 4 |
0b68481a | 6664 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user |
9edd9041 | 6665 | |
6666 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6667 | delay_class pool 5 |
0b68481a | 6668 | delay_parameters pool tagrate |
9edd9041 | 6669 | |
0b68481a | 6670 | The option variables are: |
9edd9041 | 6671 | |
6672 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
6673 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
6674 | delay_class lines. | |
6675 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6676 | aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket |
9edd9041 | 6677 | (class 1, 2, 3). |
6678 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6679 | individual the speed limit parameters for the individual |
9edd9041 | 6680 | buckets (class 2, 3). |
6681 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6682 | network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets |
9edd9041 | 6683 | (class 3). |
6684 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6685 | user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets |
9edd9041 | 6686 | (class 4). |
6687 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6688 | tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets |
9edd9041 | 6689 | (class 5). |
6690 | ||
6691 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
6692 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
6693 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
6694 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
6695 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6696 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
6697 | ||
6698 | ||
9edd9041 | 6699 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |
0b68481a | 6700 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec |
9edd9041 | 6701 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |
6702 | ||
6e7502cc | 6703 | delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000 |
0b68481a AJ |
6704 | |
6705 | Note that 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 6706 | |
6e7502cc | 6707 | Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit. |
9edd9041 | 6708 | |
0b68481a | 6709 | |
9edd9041 | 6710 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
6711 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit) |
6712 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each | |
6713 | individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits | |
9edd9041 | 6714 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed |
6715 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
6716 | large downloads more significantly: | |
6717 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6718 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 |
6719 | ||
6720 | Note that 8 x 32000 KByte/sec -> 256Kbit/sec. | |
6721 | 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec. | |
6722 | 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800bit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 6723 | |
9edd9041 | 6724 | |
6725 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
0b68481a | 6726 | be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: |
9edd9041 | 6727 | |
0b68481a | 6728 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 |

6986 | DOC_START | |
6987 | WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two | |
6988 | types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines | |
6989 | one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from | |
6990 | 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id | |
6991 | one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done | |
6992 | using the wccp2_service_info option. | |
6993 | ||
6994 | The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option, | |
6995 | just specifying the service id will suffice. | |
6996 | ||
6997 | MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding | |
6998 | "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration. | |
6999 | ||
7000 | Examples: | |
7001 | ||
7002 | wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service | |
7003 | wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be | |
7004 | # fleshed out with subsequent options. | |

5473c134 | 7769 | |
7770 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |

7773 | for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page. | |
7774 | ||
7775 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
7776 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
7777 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
7778 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
7779 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
7780 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |

7781 | - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service, |

5473c134 | 7787 | |
aed9a15b AJ |
7788 | By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx |

5473c134 | 7834 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |
9967aef6 | 7835 | (not cacheable request type) direct to origin servers. |
e72a0ec0 | 7836 | |
638402dd | 7837 | When this is set to "off", Squid will prefer to send these |
5473c134 | 7838 | requests to parents. |
0b0cfcf2 | 7839 | |
5473c134 | 7840 | Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only |
7841 | add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit | |
7842 | ratio. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7843 | |
638402dd AJ |
7844 | This option only sets a preference. If the parent is unavailable a |
7845 | direct connection to the origin server may still be attempted. To | |
7846 | completely prevent direct connections use never_direct. | |

7853 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 7854 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |
7855 | reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if | |
7856 | going direct fails set this to on. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7857 | |
5473c134 | 7858 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
7859 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
7860 | fails. | |
7861 | ||
7862 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
7863 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |
7864 | acts on cacheable requests. | |

7872 | DOC_START | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
7873 | RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent |
7874 | response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network. | |
7875 | If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs | |
7876 | it can prevent new cache entries being created. | |
7877 | ||
7878 | This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the | |
7879 | client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new | |
7880 | content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly | |
7881 | empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating | |
7882 | non-conditional GETs. | |
96598f93 AJ |
7883 | |
7884 | When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
7885 | to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable |
7886 | payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created. | |
96598f93 AJ |
7887 | |
7888 | When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will | |
7889 | remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
7890 | the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response |
7891 | from the server to create a new cache entry with. | |

0b0cfcf2 | 7901 | |
5473c134 | 7902 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
7903 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
7904 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
7905 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
7906 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7907 | |
5473c134 | 7908 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
7909 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7910 | |
5473c134 | 7911 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 7912 | |
5473c134 | 7913 | acl FTP proto FTP |
7914 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 7915 | |
5473c134 | 7916 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
7917 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
7918 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
7919 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
7920 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 7921 | |
5473c134 | 7922 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
7923 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
7924 | always_direct deny local-external | |
7925 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 7926 | |
5473c134 | 7927 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
7928 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
7929 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
7930 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 7931 | |
5473c134 | 7932 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
7933 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |
b3567eb5 | 7934 | the replies see the 'cache' directive. |

7948 | never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read | |
7949 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
7950 | ||
7951 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
7952 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
7953 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
7954 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
7955 | ||
7956 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 7957 | never_direct deny local-servers |
7958 | never_direct allow all | |
7959 | ||
7960 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
7961 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |
7962 | ||
7963 | acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net | |
7964 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |
7965 | always_direct deny local-external | |

8162 | |
8163 | Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified | |
8164 | value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm | |
8165 | is approximate because Squid does not remember individual | |
8166 | errors but groups them instead, splitting the option | |
8167 | value into ten time slots of equal length. | |
8168 | ||
8169 | When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no | |
8170 | effect on service failure expiration. | |

ac7a62f9 | 8203 | The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the |

8236 | 206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the | |
8237 | ICAP agents to optionally combine adapted and original HTTP message | |
8238 | content. The decision to combine is postponed until the end of the | |
8239 | ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default. | |
8240 | ||
8241 | Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each | |
8242 | ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle | |
8243 | negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but | |
8244 | some might fail. To disable Partial Content support for all ICAP | |
8245 | services and to avoid any negotiation, set this option to "off". | |

8330 | id: ID |
8331 | an opaque identifier or name which is used to direct traffic to | |
8332 | this specific service. Must be unique among all adaptation | |
8333 | services in squid.conf. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8334 | |
8335 | vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache | |
f3db09e2 | 8336 | This specifies at which point of transaction processing the |
8337 | ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points | |
8338 | are not yet supported. | |

c25c2836 | 8340 | uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8341 | ICAP server and service location. |
8342 | ||
8343 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
8344 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
8345 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
8346 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
8347 | service_names differ. | |
8348 | ||
3caa16d2 AR |
8349 | To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group |
8350 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8351 | |
8352 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
8353 | the following name=value options: | |
8354 | ||
8355 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
8356 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
8357 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
8358 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
8359 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
8360 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
8361 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
8362 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
8363 | ||
8364 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
8365 | ||
8366 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
8367 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to | |
8368 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
8369 | returning a chain of services to be used next. The services | |
8370 | are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header | |
8371 | value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names. | |
e2851fe7 AR |
8372 | Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other |
8373 | services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results | |
8374 | in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation. | |
8375 | ||
8376 | Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported | |
8377 | vectoring points in their natural processing order. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8378 | |
8379 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
8380 | response header is ignored. | |
8381 | ||
e6713f4e AJ |
8382 | ipv6=on|off |
8383 | Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems | |
8384 | is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will | |
8385 | make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service. | |
8386 | ||
2dba5b8e CT |
8387 | on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force |
8388 | If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do | |
8389 | one of the following for each new ICAP transaction: | |
8390 | * block: send an HTTP error response to the client | |
8391 | * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service | |
8392 | * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot | |
8393 | * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit | |
8394 | ||
8395 | In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service | |
8396 | connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all | |
8397 | workers may use a given service. | |
8398 | ||
8399 | The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable, | |
8400 | otherwise it is set to "wait". | |
8401 | ||
8402 | ||
8403 | max-conn=number | |
8404 | Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless | |
8405 | of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any. | |
8406 | ||

8407 | Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is |
8408 | deprecated but supported for backward compatibility. | |

8553 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |

62c7f90e | 8555 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8556 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
8557 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
8558 | ||
8559 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
8560 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
8561 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
8562 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
8563 | transaction fails as well. | |
8564 | ||
8565 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
8566 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
8567 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |

8589 | adaptation_service_chain chain_name service_name1 svc_name2 ... | |

8591 | The named services are used in the chain declaration order. The first | |

8593 | applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of | |
8594 | the previous service in the chain. | |
8595 | ||
8596 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
8597 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
8598 | ||
8599 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
8600 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
8601 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |

8604 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |

8606 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
8607 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |

8681 | For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response | |
8682 | sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid | |
8683 | maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value) | |
8684 | pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed | |
8685 | with the master transaction. | |
8686 | ||
8687 | This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept | |
8688 | from and forward to the adaptation transactions. | |
8689 | ||
8690 | An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the | |
8691 | shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name | |
6666da11 AR |
8692 | specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names. |
8693 | ||
8694 | An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the | |
8695 | shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API | |
8696 | to provide an option with a name specified in | |
8697 | adaptation_masterx_shared_names. | |

8714 | DOC_START | |
8715 | This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request | |
8716 | headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions. | |
8717 | Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other | |
8718 | transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service. | |
8719 | ||
8720 | The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven: | |
8721 | adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ... | |
8722 | ||
8723 | Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match. | |
8724 | Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL | |
8725 | lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For | |
8726 | example: | |
8727 | ||
8728 | # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging | |
8729 | adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging | |
8730 | ||
8731 | # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret | |
8732 | adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret | |
8733 | ||
8734 | # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group | |
8735 | adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1 | |
8736 | ||
8737 | The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double | |
8738 | quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape | |
8739 | any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes | |
8740 | and double quotes. For example, | |
8741 | "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\"" | |
d7f4a0b7 CT |
8742 | |
8743 | Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note | |
8744 | logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name | |
8745 | are used during master transaction lifetime, the header values are | |
8746 | logged in the order they were used and duplicate values are ignored | |
8747 | (only the first repeated value will be logged). | |

8840 | For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which | |

8844 | will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS. | |
8845 | ||
8846 | Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes | |
8847 | over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not | |

9465 | cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7 | |
9466 | ||
9467 | affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first | |
9468 | four even cores, starting with core #1. | |
9469 | ||
9470 | CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for | |
9471 | sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls. | |
9472 | ||
9473 | Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged. | |

9484 | This option controls how Squid handles data upload requests from HTTP | |
9485 | and FTP agents that require a "Please Continue" control message response | |
9486 | to actually send the request body to Squid. It is mostly useful in | |
9487 | adaptation environments. | |
9488 | ||
9489 | When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue" | |
9490 | header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the | |
9491 | request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or | |
9492 | peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some | |
9493 | broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may | |
9494 | decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However, | |
9495 | that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not | |
9496 | responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message | |
9497 | to the request sender yet! | |
9498 | ||
9499 | An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 | |
9500 | (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the | |
9501 | request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces | |
9502 | the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells | |
9503 | Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms | |
9504 | that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior. | |
