33 | This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file. | |
34 | This documentation can also be found online at: | |
35 | http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ | |
36 | ||
37 | You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the | |
38 | FAQ and other documentation: | |
39 | http://www.squid-cache.org/ | |
40 | http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq | |
41 | http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples | |
42 | ||
43 | This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives | |
44 | happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should | |
45 | leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases. | |
46 | ||
47 | In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all, | |
48 | while in other cases it refers to the value of the option | |
49 | - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case. | |

54 | Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. | |
5945964d | 55 | Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are |
592a09dc | 56 | supported. |
57 | ||
58 | For example, | |
59 | ||
60 | include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config | |
61 | ||
62 | Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. | |
63 | This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references | |
64 | from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load | |
65 | configuration files. | |

67 | Values with byte units |
68 | ||
a01a87d9 AJ |
69 | Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All |
70 | such directives are documented with a default value displaying | |
71 | a unit. | |
a345387f AJ |
72 | |
73 | Units accepted by Squid are: | |
a01a87d9 AJ |
74 | bytes - byte |
75 | KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes) | |
a345387f AJ |
76 | MB - Megabyte |
77 | GB - Gigabyte | |

79 | Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters |
80 | ||
81 | Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other | |
82 | special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use | |
83 | the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or | |
84 | disable that support. | |
85 | ||
86 | Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external | |
87 | files using the syntax: | |
88 | parameters("/path/filename") | |
89 | For example: | |
90 | acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt") | |
91 | ||
5735d30b AR |
92 | Conditional configuration |
93 | ||
94 | If-statements can be used to make configuration directives | |
95 | depend on conditions: | |
96 | ||
97 | if <CONDITION> | |
98 | ... regular configuration directives ... | |
99 | [else | |
100 | ... regular configuration directives ...] | |
101 | endif | |
102 | ||
103 | The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif" | |
104 | must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular | |
105 | configuration directives. | |
106 | ||
5945964d AJ |
107 | NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported. |
108 | ||
5735d30b AR |
109 | These individual conditions types are supported: |
110 | ||
111 | true | |
112 | Always evaluates to true. | |
113 | false | |
114 | Always evaluates to false. | |
115 | <integer> = <integer> | |
116 | Equality comparison of two integer numbers. | |
117 | ||
118 | ||
d4a3e179 AR |
119 | SMP-Related Macros |
120 | ||
121 | The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used. | |
122 | ||
123 | ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name" | |
124 | (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1). | |
125 | ||
126 | ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process | |
127 | identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique | |
6fe8c876 AJ |
128 | across all Squid processes of the current service instance. |
129 | ||
130 | ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance | |
131 | name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line. | |

5473c134 | 340 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
341 | COMMENT_END | |
342 | ||
41bd17a4 | 343 | NAME: auth_param |
344 | TYPE: authparam | |
2f1431ea | 345 | IFDEF: USE_AUTH |
5817ee13 | 346 | LOC: Auth::TheConfig |
cccac0a2 | 347 | DEFAULT: none |
348 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 349 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
350 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 351 | |
66c583dc | 352 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 353 | |
41bd17a4 | 354 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
355 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
356 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
357 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
358 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
359 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
360 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
361 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
362 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 363 | |
41bd17a4 | 364 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
365 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
366 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
367 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 368 | |
41bd17a4 | 369 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
370 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
371 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
372 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
373 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
374 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
375 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
376 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
377 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 378 | |
41bd17a4 | 379 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
380 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
381 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
382 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
383 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |
384 | authentication disabled. | |
cccac0a2 | 385 | |

386 | === Parameters common to all schemes. === |
387 | ||
388 | "program" cmdline | |
66c583dc | 389 | Specifies the command for the external authenticator. |
d4806c91 | 390 | |
66c583dc AJ |
391 | By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a |
392 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 393 | |
66c583dc AJ |
394 | See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for |
395 | more details on helper operations and creating your own. | |
5269ec0e | 396 | |
66c583dc AJ |
397 | "key_extras" format |
398 | Specifies a string to be append to request line format for | |
399 | the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain | |
400 | spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro | |
401 | can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if | |
402 | the helper request is sent before the required macro | |
403 | information is available to Squid. | |
404 | ||
405 | By default, Squid uses request formats provided in | |
406 | scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). | |
407 | ||
408 | The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials | |
409 | cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to | |
410 | autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., | |
411 | when user authentication depends on http_port). | |
412 | ||
413 | Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For | |
414 | example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently | |
415 | in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat | |
416 | every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL | |
417 | and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also | |
418 | force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP | |
419 | changes. | |
420 | ||
421 | "realm" string | |
422 | Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be | |
423 | reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is | |
424 | commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for | |
425 | their username and password. | |
426 | ||
427 | For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". | |
428 | For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. | |
429 | For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. | |
5269ec0e | 430 | |
66c583dc | 431 | "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] |
5269ec0e | 432 | |
66c583dc AJ |
433 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If |
434 | you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process | |
435 | a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When | |
436 | password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are | |
437 | likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
5269ec0e | 438 | |
66c583dc AJ |
439 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact |
440 | amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup | |
441 | and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to | |
442 | idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N | |
443 | free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. | |
5269ec0e | 444 | |
66c583dc AJ |
445 | The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests |
446 | the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers | |
447 | who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a | |
448 | number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a | |
449 | channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing | |
450 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel | |
451 | without waiting for the response. | |
cccac0a2 | 452 | |
66c583dc AJ |
453 | Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper |
454 | supports the input format with channel-ID fields. | |
cccac0a2 | 455 | |
66c583dc AJ |
456 | NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency |
457 | in the Squid code module even though some helpers can. | |

475 | NOTE: setting this high does not impact your susceptibility |
476 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password | |
477 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
478 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |

710 | General request syntax: |
711 | ||
712 | [channel-ID] FORMAT-values [acl-values ...] | |
713 | ||
714 | ||
715 | FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with | |
716 | whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification | |
717 | using the FORMAT macros listed above. | |
718 | ||
719 | acl-values consists of any string specified in the referencing | |
720 | config 'acl ... external' line. see the "acl external" directive. | |
721 | ||
722 | Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect | |
723 | each value in requests against whitespaces. | |
724 | ||
725 | If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not | |
726 | URL escaped to protect against whitespace. | |
727 | ||
728 | NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. | |
729 | ||
730 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by | |
731 | introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. | |
732 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |
733 | This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part | |
734 | of the response relating to its request. | |
735 | ||
736 | ||
737 | The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification | |
738 | and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result | |
739 | code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details. | |

744 | [channel-ID] result keyword=value ... |
745 | ||
746 | Result consists of one of the codes: | |
747 | ||
748 | OK | |
749 | the ACL test produced a match. | |
750 | ||
751 | ERR | |
752 | the ACL test does not produce a match. | |

829 | without -i. | |
830 | ||
831 | -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or | |
832 | conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or | |
833 | domain name) does not match the message address type (domain | |

1174 | Determine which client proxies can be trusted to provide correct | |
1175 | information regarding real client IP address using PROXY protocol. | |
1176 | ||
1177 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies | |
1178 | before reaching us. The original source details may by sent in: | |
1179 | * HTTP message Forwarded header, or | |
1180 | * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or | |
1181 | * PROXY protocol connection header. | |
1182 | ||
1183 | This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol | |
1184 | connections received from a port flagged with require-proxy-header. | |
1185 | It is checked only once after TCP connection setup. | |
1186 | ||
1187 | A deny match results in TCP connection closure. | |
1188 | ||
1189 | An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding | |
1190 | TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers. | |
1191 | If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information | |
1192 | to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL | |
1193 | checks, logging, etc. | |
1194 | ||
1195 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: | |
1196 | ||
c390580b | 1197 | Any host from which we accept client IP details can place |
d3d92daa AJ |
1198 | incorrect information in the relevant header, and Squid |
1199 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the | |
1200 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
1201 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
1202 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
1203 | ||

70a16fea AJ |
1234 | On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields. |
1235 | If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow | |
1236 | match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value. | |
1237 | The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be | |
1238 | tested, or there are no more values to test. | |
1239 | NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header. | |
3d674977 AJ |
1240 | |
1241 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
1242 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
57d76dd4 | 1243 | be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay |
3d674977 | 1244 | pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client, |
96d64448 AJ |

1251 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: |
1252 | ||
c390580b | 1253 | Any host from which we accept client IP details can place |
70a16fea | 1254 | incorrect information in the relevant header, and Squid |
3d674977 AJ |
1255 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the |
1256 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
1257 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
1258 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
1259 | ||
1260 | For example: | |
1261 | ||
1262 | acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 | |
1263 | acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com | |
1264 | follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost | |

1579 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |

1583 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
1584 | for this reply. | |
1585 | ||
1586 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
1587 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
1588 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
1589 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
1590 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
1591 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
1592 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
1593 | ||
1594 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
1595 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
1596 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
1597 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
1598 | ||
1599 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
1600 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |

1628 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
1629 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
1630 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
1631 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
1632 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
c7b1dd5d | 1633 | address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific |
5b0f5383 | 1634 | address, so you can use the port number alone. |
1635 | ||
1636 | If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you | |
1637 | probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. | |
1638 | ||
1639 | The -a command line option may be used to specify additional | |
1640 | port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will | |
1641 | be plain proxy ports with no options. | |

1996 | Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid |
1997 | listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various | |
1998 | ways to specify the listening address and mode. | |
1999 | ||
2000 | Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options] | |
2001 | ||
2002 | WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen | |
2003 | limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not | |
2004 | currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not | |
2005 | even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying! | |
2006 | ||
2007 | Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests | |
2008 | with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives | |
2009 | actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs). | |
2010 | ||
2011 | Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or | |
2012 | wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP | |
2013 | responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages | |
2014 | are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers | |
2015 | between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to | |
2016 | examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP | |
2017 | mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, | |
2018 | http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. | |
2019 | ||
2020 | Modes: | |
2021 | ||
3cc0f4e7 | 2022 | intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is |
8a2f40dd AR |
2023 | determined based on the intended destination of the |

2027 | connections using the client IP address. | |
2028 | NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. | |
2029 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2030 | By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the |
2031 | FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER | |
2032 | command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying. | |
2033 | ||
2034 | Options: | |

2962f8b8 | 2283 | the Host header domain or IP (called 'authority form URL'). |
d8821934 AR |
2284 | |
2285 | This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in | |
2286 | RFC 2616 section 14.23: "The Host field value MUST represent the naming | |
2287 | authority of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL". | |

2290 | Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error | |
2291 | page and logs a security warning if there is no match. | |
2292 | ||
2293 | Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches | |
2294 | the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic | |
2295 | as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the | |
2296 | following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header | |
2297 | and Request-URI components: | |
2298 | ||
2299 | * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical, | |
2300 | but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks. | |
2301 | For the two host names to match, both must be either IP | |
2302 | or FQDN. | |
2303 | ||
2304 | * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing | |
2305 | the scheme-default port is assumed. | |
2306 | ||
2307 | ||
2308 | When set to OFF (the default): | |
2309 | Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a | |
2310 | security warning and blocks caching of the response. | |
2311 | ||
2312 | * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |
2313 | ||
2314 | * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |
2315 | ||
2316 | * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled | |

2329 | As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used | |

2331 | malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin | |
2332 | security policy and sandboxing protections. | |
2333 | ||
2334 | The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their | |
2335 | own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser | |
2336 | sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP | |
2337 | as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may | |
2338 | be different from the connected IP and approved origin. | |

2351 | Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster | |
2352 | connectivity with a range of failure recovery options. | |

2356 | This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being | |
2357 | located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server. | |

2833 | DOC_START | |
638402dd | 2834 | The maximum number of processes spawn to service SSL server. |
2cef0ca6 AR |
2835 | The maximum this may be safely set to is 32. |
2836 | ||
2837 | The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your | |
2838 | tuning. | |
2839 | ||
2840 | startup=N | |
2841 | ||
2842 | Sets the minimum number of processes to spawn when Squid | |
2843 | starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will | |
2844 | cause spawning of the first child process to handle it. | |
2845 | ||
2846 | Starting too few children temporary slows Squid under load while it | |
2847 | tries to spawn enough additional processes to cope with traffic. | |
2848 | ||
2849 | idle=N | |
2850 | ||
2851 | Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available | |
2852 | at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing | |
2853 | processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum | |
2854 | configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required. | |
4a77bb4e CT |
2855 | |
2856 | concurrency= | |
2857 | ||
2858 | The number of requests each certificate validator helper can handle in | |
dffc462a CT |
2859 | parallel. A value of 0 indicates the certficate validator does not |
2860 | support concurrency. Defaults to 1. | |
4a77bb4e CT |
2861 | |
2862 | When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol | |
2863 | used to communicate with the helper is modified to include | |
2864 | a request ID in front of the request/response. The request | |
2865 | ID from the request must be echoed back with the response | |
2866 | to that request. | |
2cef0ca6 AR |
2867 | |
2868 | You must have at least one ssl_crt_validator process. | |

41bd17a4 | 2883 | cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options] |
2b94f655 | 2884 | |
41bd17a4 | 2885 | For example, |
2b94f655 | 2886 | |
41bd17a4 | 2887 | # proxy icp |
2888 | # hostname type port port options | |
2889 | # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- ----------- | |

2b94f655 AJ |
2894 | cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0 |
2895 | ||
2896 | type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. | |
2897 | ||
2898 | proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests. | |
2899 | For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128 | |
2900 | For web servers this is usually 80 | |
2901 | ||
2902 | icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects. | |
2903 | Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP. | |
2904 | See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details. | |
2905 | ||
2906 | ||
2907 | ==== ICP OPTIONS ==== | |
2908 | ||
2909 | You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
2910 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP. | |
2911 | ||
2912 | ||
2913 | no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor. | |
2914 | ||
2915 | multicast-responder | |
2916 | Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group. | |
2917 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
2918 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
2919 | ||
2920 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
2921 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
2922 | ||
2923 | background-ping | |
2924 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
2925 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
2926 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
2927 | ||
2928 | ||
2929 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
2930 | ||
2931 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
2932 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
2933 | ||
2934 | ||
2935 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
2936 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
18191440 AJ |
2937 | instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated |
2938 | list of options described below. | |
2b94f655 | 2939 | |
18191440 | 2940 | htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). |
2b94f655 | 2941 | |
18191440 | 2942 | htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
2b94f655 | 2943 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with |
18191440 | 2944 | only-clr. |
2b94f655 | 2945 | |
18191440 AJ |
2946 | htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. |
2947 | This cannot be used with no-clr. | |
2b94f655 | 2948 | |
18191440 | 2949 | htcp=no-purge-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
2950 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when |
2951 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
2952 | ||
18191440 | 2953 | htcp=forward-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
2954 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. |
2955 | ||
2956 | ||
2957 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
2958 | ||
2959 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
2960 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
2961 | ||
2962 | ||
2963 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
2964 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
2965 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
2966 | ||
2967 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
2968 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
2969 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
2970 | ||
2971 | weighted-round-robin | |
2972 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
2973 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
2974 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
2975 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
2976 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
2977 | ||
2978 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
2979 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
2980 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
2981 | ||
2982 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
2983 | ||
2984 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
8a368316 AJ |
2985 | |
2986 | multicast-siblings | |
2987 | To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". | |
2988 | ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" | |
2e9993e1 | 2989 | relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast |
8a368316 AJ |
2990 | group when the requested object would be fetched only from |
2991 | a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when | |
2992 | configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being | |
2993 | members of the same multicast group. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
2994 | |
2995 | ||
2996 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
2997 | ||
2998 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
2999 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
3000 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
3001 | larger weights are favored more. | |
3002 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
3003 | protocol is not in use. | |
3004 | ||
3005 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
3006 | times of parents. | |
3007 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
3008 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
3009 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
3010 | ||
3c72389f AJ |
3011 | ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries |
3012 | to this address. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3013 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. |
3014 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
3015 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
3016 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
3017 | ||
3018 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
3019 | delay pools. | |
3020 | ||
3021 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
3022 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
3023 | than the Squid default location. | |
3024 | ||
3025 | ||
de03b596 FC |
3026 | ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== |
3027 | ||
3028 | carp-key=key-specification | |
3029 | use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. | |
3030 | the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords | |
3031 | scheme, host, port, path, params | |
3032 | Order is not important. | |
3033 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3034 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== |
3035 | ||
3036 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
3037 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
3038 | is a web server. | |
3039 | ||
3040 | forceddomain=name | |
3041 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
3042 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
3043 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
3044 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
3045 | ||
3046 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
3047 | ||
3048 | no-netdb-exchange | |
3049 | Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). | |
3050 | ||
3051 | ||
3052 | ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== | |
3053 | ||
3054 | login=user:password | |
3055 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3056 | requires proxy authentication. | |
3057 | ||
3058 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
3059 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
3060 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
3061 | login=PASSTHRU |
3062 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
3063 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
3064 | without alteration to the peer. | |
3065 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
3066 | ||
3067 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
3068 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
3069 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 3070 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3071 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
3072 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 3073 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3074 | If there are no client-provided authentication headers |
3075 | to pass on, but username and password are available | |
ee0b94f4 HN |
3076 | from an external ACL user= and password= result tags |
3077 | they may be sent instead. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3078 | |
3079 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
3080 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
3081 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |
3082 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy | |
3083 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION | |
3084 | ||
3085 | login=*:password | |
3086 | Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a | |
3087 | fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer | |
3088 | is in another administrative domain, but it is still | |
3089 | needed to identify each user. | |
3090 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
3091 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
3092 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
3093 | the login=username:password option above. | |
3094 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3095 | login=NEGOTIATE |
3096 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3097 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3098 | The first principal from the default keytab or defined by | |
3099 | the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used. | |
3100 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3101 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3102 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3103 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3104 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3105 | login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name |
3106 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3107 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3108 | The principal principal_name from the default keytab or | |
3109 | defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be | |
3110 | used. | |
3111 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3112 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3113 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3114 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3115 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3116 | connection-auth=on|off |
3117 | Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft | |
3118 | connection oriented authentication, and any such | |
3119 | challenges received from there should be ignored. | |
3120 | Default is auto to automatically determine the status | |
3121 | of the peer. | |
3122 | ||
3123 | ||
3124 | ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ==== | |
3125 | ||
3126 | ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS. | |
3127 | ||
3128 | sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate | |
3129 | A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to | |
3130 | this peer. | |
3131 | ||
3132 | sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key | |
3133 | The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above. | |
3134 | If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to | |
3135 | reference a combined file containing both the | |
3136 | certificate and the key. | |

943c5f16 HN |
3157 | SINGLE_DH_USE |
3158 | Always create a new key when using | |
3159 | temporary/ephemeral DH key exchanges | |
3160 | ALL Enable various bug workarounds | |
3161 | suggested as "harmless" by OpenSSL | |
3162 | Be warned that this reduces SSL/TLS | |
3163 | strength to some attacks. | |
3164 | ||
3165 | See the OpenSSL SSL_CTX_set_options documentation for a | |
3166 | more complete list. | |

3181 | verify. | |
3182 | NO_DEFAULT_CA | |
3183 | Don't use the default CA list built in | |
3184 | to OpenSSL. | |
3185 | DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN | |
3186 | Don't verify the peer certificate | |
3187 | matches the server name | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3188 | |
3189 | ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate. | |
3190 | Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer | |
3191 | certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be | |
3192 | used. | |
3193 | ||
3194 | front-end-https | |
3195 | Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when | |
3196 | using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA. | |
3197 | See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header. | |
3198 | If set to auto the header will only be added if the | |
3199 | request is forwarded as a https:// URL. | |
3200 | ||
3201 | ||
3202 | ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== | |
3203 | ||
3204 | connect-timeout=N | |
3205 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
3206 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
3207 | ||
3208 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
3209 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
e8dca475 CT |
3210 | it is marked as down. Standby connection failures |
3211 | count towards this limit. Default is 10. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3212 | |
3213 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
3214 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
3215 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use | |
3216 | of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you | |
3217 | should avoid having two-way peerings with this option. | |
3218 | For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer | |
3219 | by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer. | |
3220 | ||
e8dca475 CT |
3221 | max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid |
3222 | may open to this peer, including already opened idle | |
3223 | and standby connections. There is no peer-specific | |
3224 | connection limit by default. | |
3225 | ||
3226 | A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new | |
3227 | requests unless a standby connection is available. | |
3228 | ||
3229 | max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent | |
3230 | connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, | |
3231 | and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, | |
3232 | the peer may not be selected because the limiting code | |
3233 | does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle | |
3234 | connections. | |
3235 | ||
3236 | standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an | |
3237 | UP peer, available for requests when no idle | |
3238 | persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. | |
3239 | By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. | |
3240 | N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). | |
3241 | ||
3242 | At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP | |
3243 | standby connections until there are N connections | |
3244 | available and then replenishes the standby pool as | |
3245 | opened connections are used up for requests. A used | |
3246 | connection never goes back to the standby pool, but | |
3247 | may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool | |
3248 | shared by all peers and origin servers. | |
3249 | ||
3250 | Squid never opens multiple new standby connections | |
3251 | concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes | |
3252 | flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few | |
3253 | standby connections should be sufficient in most cases | |
3254 | to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use | |
3255 | connection. | |
3256 | ||
3257 | Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. | |
3258 | For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be | |
3259 | configured to accept and keep them open longer than | |
3260 | the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize | |
3261 | race conditions typical to idle used persistent | |

3399 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
3400 | ||
3401 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
3402 | for: | |
3403 | * In-Transit objects | |
3404 | * Hot Objects | |
3405 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
3406 | ||
3407 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
3408 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
3409 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
3410 | priority. | |
3411 | ||
3412 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
3413 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
3414 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
3415 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
3416 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
3417 | ||
3418 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
3419 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
3420 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
3421 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
3422 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
3423 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
3424 | objects. | |

3452 | ||
70f856bc AR |
3453 | The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace |
3454 | the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be | |
3455 | cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit | |
3456 | objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory | |
3457 | caching is enabled). | |
3458 | ||
65b81b27 | 3459 | By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the |
70f856bc AR |
3460 | following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with |
3461 | multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment | |
3462 | supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments | |
3463 | and GCC-style atomic operations). | |
3464 | ||
3465 | To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms | |
3466 | that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been | |
3467 | shared among SMP workers will actually be shared. | |
3468 | ||
3469 | Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared. | |

0976f8db | 3521 | |
41bd17a4 | 3522 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
3523 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
3524 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
3525 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 3526 | |
41bd17a4 | 3527 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
3528 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
3529 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
3530 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 3531 | |

41bd17a4 | 3650 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
3651 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3652 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 3653 | |
41bd17a4 | 3654 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
3655 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3656 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 3657 | |
41bd17a4 | 3658 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
3659 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
3660 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
3661 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
3662 | time. | |

3667 | Usage: | |
e51ce7da | 3668 | cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options] |
e2851fe7 | 3669 | |
2e55f083 | 3670 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e51ce7da AR |
3671 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots. |
3672 | A single entry occupies one or more slots. | |
e2851fe7 | 3673 | |
3e1dfe3d AR |
3674 | If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid |
3675 | process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk | |
3676 | I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers | |
3677 | are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support | |
3678 | for the IpcIo disk I/O module. | |
3679 | ||
43ebbac3 AR |
3680 | swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or |
3681 | reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation | |
3682 | will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By | |
3683 | default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit | |
3684 | enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because | |
3685 | blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the | |
3686 | expected swap wait time. | |
3687 | ||
df881a0f | 3688 | max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using |
1e614370 | 3689 | the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that |
df881a0f | 3690 | would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are |
1e614370 DK |
3691 | delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are |
3692 | not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and | |
3693 | since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out | |
3694 | requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. | |
3695 | This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too | |
df881a0f AR |
3696 | many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes |
3697 | while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together | |
3698 | with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows | |
3699 | when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default | |
3700 | and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit | |
3701 | enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. | |
3702 | ||
e51ce7da AR |
3703 | slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for |
3704 | storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least | |
3705 | one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so | |
3706 | increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while | |
3707 | decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a | |
3708 | multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to | |
3709 | 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and | |
3710 | smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than | |
3711 | 100 bytes. | |

3717 | ||
3718 | min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir | |
3719 | will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir | |
3720 | to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while | |
3721 | other stores are optimized for smaller objects | |
73656056 | 3722 | (e.g. Rock). |

6b698a21 | 3745 | DOC_START |
638402dd AJ |
3746 | How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response |
3747 | object will fit into more than one. | |
3748 | ||
3749 | Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size | |
3750 | and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect | |
3751 | the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered | |
3752 | cache_dir. | |
3753 | ||
3754 | Algorithms: | |
3755 | ||
3756 | least-load | |
3757 | ||
3758 | This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir | |
3759 | sizes and disk speeds. | |
3760 | ||
3761 | The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. | |
3762 | When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking | |
3763 | the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. | |
3764 | ||
3765 | When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks | |
3766 | have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more | |
3767 | capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput | |
3768 | may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. | |
3769 | ||
3770 | ||
3771 | round-robin | |
3772 | ||
3773 | This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir | |
3774 | disk sizes. | |
3775 | ||
3776 | Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable | |
3777 | cache_dir is used. | |
3778 | ||
3779 | Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation | |
3780 | to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and | |
3781 | max-size parameters. | |
3782 | ||
3783 | Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow | |
3784 | disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any | |
3785 | I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. | |
3786 | ||
29a238a3 AR |
3787 | If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other |
3788 | limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such | |
3789 | cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias | |
3790 | towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave | |
3791 | cache_dir lines from different groups. For example: | |
3792 | ||
3793 | store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin | |
3794 | cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000 | |
3795 | cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999 | |
3796 | cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000 | |

5038f9d8 | 4081 | If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as |
3ff65596 AR |
4082 | well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option): |
4083 | ||
4084 | icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP | |
4085 | transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP | |

4088 | ||
5038f9d8 | 4089 | If adaptation is enabled the following three codes become available: |
3ff65596 | 4090 | |
5038f9d8 AR |
4091 | adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or |
4092 | meta-information from the last eCAP | |

4094 | Like <h, accepts an optional header name | |
4095 | argument. | |
3ff65596 AR |
4096 | |
4097 | adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response | |
4098 | times recorded as a comma-separated list in | |
4099 | the order of transaction start time. Each time | |
4100 | value is recorded as an integer number, | |
4101 | representing response time of one or more | |
4102 | adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in | |
4103 | milliseconds. When a failed transaction is | |
4104 | being retried or repeated, its time is not | |
4105 | logged individually but added to the | |
4106 | replacement (next) transaction. See also: | |
4107 | adapt::all_trs. | |
4108 | ||
4109 | adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times. | |
4110 | Same as adaptation_strs but response times of | |
4111 | individual transactions are never added | |
4112 | together. Instead, all transaction response | |
4113 | times are recorded individually. | |
4114 | ||
4115 | You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation | |
4116 | service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific | |
4117 | to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs | |

4155 | Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions. |
4156 | If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every | |
4157 | matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are: | |
4158 | ||
4159 | access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...] | |
4160 | access_log none [acl acl ...] | |
4161 | ||
4162 | The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated: | |
82b7abe3 | 4163 | access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] |
fb0c2f17 NH |
4164 | |
4165 | In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character | |
4166 | and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always | |
4167 | start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions. | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4168 | |
4169 | Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which | |
41bd17a4 | 4170 | must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match |
4171 | ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses). | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4172 | If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination. |
4173 | ||
fb0c2f17 NH |
4174 | ===== Available options for the recommended directive format ===== |
4175 | ||
4176 | logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or | |
4177 | defined by a logformat directive). Defaults | |
4178 | to 'squid'. | |
4179 | ||
4180 | buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log | |
4181 | records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not | |
4182 | keep more than the specified size and, hence, | |
4183 | should flush records before the buffer becomes | |
4184 | full to avoid overflows under normal | |
4185 | conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is | |
4186 | module-dependent though). The on-error option | |
4187 | controls overflow handling. | |
4188 | ||
4189 | on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The | |
4190 | 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log) | |
4191 | affected log records. The default 'die' action | |
4192 | kills the affected worker. The drop action | |
4193 | support has not been tested for modules other | |
4194 | than tcp. | |
4195 | ||

4239 | DOC_START | |
4240 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
4241 | transaction. | |
4242 | ||
4243 | The icap_log option format is: | |
4244 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
4245 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
4246 | ||
4247 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
4248 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
4249 | features. | |
4250 | ||
4251 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
4252 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
4253 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
4254 | log line. | |
4255 | ||
4256 | ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP | |
4257 | transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header | |
4258 | embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats: | |
4259 | For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP | |
4260 | server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP | |
4261 | request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For | |
4262 | OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers. | |
4263 | ||
4264 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
4265 | ||
4266 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
4267 | ||
4268 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
4269 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
4270 | ||
4271 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
4272 | ||
4273 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
4274 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
4275 | ||
4276 | icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload | |
4277 | only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket). | |
4278 | ||
4279 | icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP | |
4280 | payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from | |
4281 | the socket). | |
4282 | ||
bae917ac CT |
4283 | icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the |
4284 | ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually | |
4285 | includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and | |
4286 | possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The | |
4287 | HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is | |
4288 | computed. | |
4289 | ||
3ff65596 AR |
4290 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in |
4291 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
4292 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
4293 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
4294 | Similar to tr. | |
4295 | ||
4296 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
4297 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
4298 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
4299 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
4300 | is received. | |
4301 | ||
4302 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
4303 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
4304 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
4305 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
4306 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
4307 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |
4308 | ||
4309 | icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs. | |
4310 | ||
4311 | icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h. | |
4312 | ||
4313 | icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h. | |
4314 | ||
4315 | The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit | |
4316 | definition, is called icap_squid: | |
4317 | ||
4318 | logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A - | |

5568 | DOC_START | |
5569 | A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP | |
5570 | request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that | |
5571 | feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the | |
5572 | entire request and then dechunks request body to create a | |
5573 | plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain | |
5574 | request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual. | |
5575 | ||
5576 | The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used | |
5577 | to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked | |
5578 | request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion | |
5579 | fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error, | |
5580 | as if dechunking was disabled. | |
5581 | ||
5582 | Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of | |
5583 | chunked requests, set the maximum to zero. | |
5584 | ||
5585 | Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a | |
5586 | temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully | |
5587 | supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request. | |

5648 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
5649 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |

5651 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
5652 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
5653 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
5654 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
5655 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid | |
5656 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior | |
5657 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
5658 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
5659 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
5660 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
5661 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |

5712 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3b07476b CT |
5713 | more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows |
5714 | removal of specific header fields under specific conditions. | |
5715 | ||
5716 | This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e., | |
5717 | headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer | |
5718 | or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit | |
5719 | detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP | |
5720 | terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
5721 | ||
5722 | The option is applied to individual outgoing request header | |
5723 | fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first | |
5724 | qualifying sets of request_header_access rules: | |
5725 | ||
5726 | 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name. | |
5727 | 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not | |
5728 | on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names. | |
5729 | 3. Rules with header_name 'All'. | |
5730 | ||
5731 | Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual. | |
5732 | If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to | |
5733 | go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is | |
5734 | removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify | |
5735 | if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the | |
5736 | set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is. | |

5868 | This option adds header fields to outgoing HTTP requests (i.e., | |
5869 | request headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a | |
5870 | cache peer or an origin server). The option has no effect during | |
5871 | cache hit detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point | |
5872 | in ICAP terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
5873 | ||
5874 | Field-name is a token specifying an HTTP header name. If a | |
5875 | standard HTTP header name is used, Squid does not check whether | |
5876 | the new header conflicts with any existing headers or violates | |
5877 | HTTP rules. If the request to be modified already contains a | |
5878 | field with the same name, the old field is preserved but the | |
5879 | header field values are not merged. | |
5880 | ||
5881 | Field-value is either a token or a quoted string. If quoted | |
5882 | string format is used, then the surrounding quotes are removed | |
5883 | while escape sequences and %macros are processed. | |
5884 | ||
5885 | In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros. | |
5886 | However, unlike logging (which happens at the very end of | |
5887 | transaction lifetime), the transaction may not yet have enough | |
5888 | information to expand a macro when the new header value is needed. | |
5889 | And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet | |
5890 | committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report | |
5891 | such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash | |
5892 | ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. | |
5893 | ||
5894 | One or more Squid ACLs may be specified to restrict header | |
5895 | injection to matching requests. As always in squid.conf, all | |
5896 | ACLs in an option ACL list must be satisfied for the insertion | |
5897 | to happen. The request_header_add option supports fast ACLs | |
5898 | only. | |

0b68481a AJ |
6487 | delay_pools pool 3 |
6488 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual | |
9edd9041 | 6489 | |

0b68481a AJ |
6491 | delay_pools pool 4 |
6492 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user | |
9edd9041 | 6493 | |
6494 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
0b68481a AJ |
6495 | delay_pools pool 5 |
6496 | delay_parameters pool tagrate | |
9edd9041 | 6497 | |
0b68481a | 6498 | The option variables are: |
9edd9041 | 6499 | |
6500 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
6501 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
6502 | delay_class lines. | |
6503 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6504 | aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket |
9edd9041 | 6505 | (class 1, 2, 3). |
6506 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6507 | individual the speed limit parameters for the individual |
9edd9041 | 6508 | buckets (class 2, 3). |
6509 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6510 | network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets |
9edd9041 | 6511 | (class 3). |
6512 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6513 | user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets |

6515 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6516 | tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets |
9edd9041 | 6517 | (class 5). |
6518 | ||
6519 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
6520 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
6521 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
6522 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
6523 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6524 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
6525 | ||
6526 | ||
9edd9041 | 6527 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |
0b68481a | 6528 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec |
9edd9041 | 6529 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |
6530 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6531 | delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000 |
6532 | ||
6533 | Note that 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 6534 | |
6535 | Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited". | |
6536 | ||
0b68481a | 6537 | |
9edd9041 | 6538 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
6539 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit) |
6540 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each | |

6815 | WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two | |

7605 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |

7607 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
7608 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |

7701 | RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent |
7702 | response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network. | |
7703 | If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs | |
7704 | it can prevent new cache entries being created. | |
7705 | ||
7706 | This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the | |
7707 | client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new | |
7708 | content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly | |
7709 | empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating | |
7710 | non-conditional GETs. | |
96598f93 AJ |
7711 | |

5473c134 | 7730 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
7731 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
7732 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
7733 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
7734 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7735 | |
5473c134 | 7736 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
7737 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7738 | |
5473c134 | 7739 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 7740 | |
5473c134 | 7741 | acl FTP proto FTP |
7742 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 7743 | |
5473c134 | 7744 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
7745 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
7746 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
7747 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
7748 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 7749 | |
5473c134 | 7750 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
7751 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
7752 | always_direct deny local-external | |
7753 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 7754 | |
5473c134 | 7755 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
7756 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
7757 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
7758 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 7759 | |
5473c134 | 7760 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
7761 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |

7981 | The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates | |

7990 | |
7991 | Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified | |
7992 | value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm | |
7993 | is approximate because Squid does not remember individual | |
7994 | errors but groups them instead, splitting the option | |
7995 | value into ten time slots of equal length. | |
7996 | ||
7997 | When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no | |
7998 | effect on service failure expiration. | |

8064 | 206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the | |

8170 | ||
8171 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
8172 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
8173 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
8174 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
8175 | service_names differ. | |
8176 | ||

8178 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |

8179 | |
8180 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
8181 | the following name=value options: | |
8182 | ||
8183 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
8184 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
8185 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
8186 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
8187 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
8188 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
8189 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
8190 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
8191 | ||
8192 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
8193 | ||

8372 | ||
8373 | adaptation_service_set set_name service_name1 service_name2 ... | |
8374 | ||
8375 | The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first | |
8376 | applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next | |
8377 | applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the | |
8378 | previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still | |
8379 | intact. | |
62c7f90e | 8380 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8381 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |
8382 | not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
62c7f90e | 8383 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8384 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
8385 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
8386 | ||
8387 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
8388 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
8389 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
8390 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
8391 | transaction fails as well. | |
8392 | ||
8393 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
8394 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
8395 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |

8416 | ||
8417 | adaptation_service_chain chain_name service_name1 svc_name2 ... | |
8418 | ||
8419 | The named services are used in the chain declaration order. The first | |

8421 | applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of | |
8422 | the previous service in the chain. | |
8423 | ||
8424 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
8425 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
8426 | ||
8427 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
8428 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
8429 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |
8430 | ||

8432 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
8433 | ||
8434 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
8435 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |
8436 | other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure | |

8548 | The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven: | |
8549 | adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ... | |
8550 | ||
8551 | Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match. | |
8552 | Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL | |
8553 | lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For | |
8554 | example: | |
8555 | ||
8556 | # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging | |
8557 | adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging | |

8562 | # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group | |
8563 | adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1 | |
8564 | ||
8565 | The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double | |
8566 | quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape | |

8569 | "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\"" | |

8667 | ||
8668 | For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which | |
8669 | is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to | |
8670 | negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having | |
8671 | to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit | |
8672 | will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS. | |
8673 | ||
8674 | Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes | |
8675 | over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not | |
8676 | necessary. | |
8677 | ||
8678 | WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply | |
8679 | with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some | |
8680 | resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled | |
8681 | EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram | |
8682 | sizes being advertised by Squid. | |
8683 | Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain | |
8684 | even if it would be resolvable without EDNS. | |
