cccac0a2 31 ----------------------------
3a278cb8 32
cccac0a2 33 This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
34 to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
35 for the FAQ and other documentation.
3a278cb8 36
cccac0a2 37 The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
38 various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the
39 default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause
40 run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default
41 setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
42 option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
43 case.

48 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
49 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is
50 supported.
51
52 For example,
53
54 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
55
56 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
57 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
58 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
59 configuration files.

62 Conditional configuration
63
64 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
65 depend on conditions:
66
67 if <CONDITION>
68 ... regular configuration directives ...
69 [else
70 ... regular configuration directives ...]
71 endif
72
73 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
74 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
75 configuration directives.
76
77 These individual conditions types are supported:
78
79 true
80 Always evaluates to true.
81 false
82 Always evaluates to false.
83 <integer> = <integer>
84 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

87 SMP-Related Macros
88
89 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
90
91 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
92 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
93
94 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
95 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
96 across all Squid processes.

cccac0a2 177DEFAULT: none
178DOC_START
41bd17a4 179 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
180 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 181
41bd17a4 182 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 183
41bd17a4 184 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
185 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
186 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
187 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
188 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
189 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
190 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
191 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
192 program entry).
cccac0a2 193
41bd17a4 194 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
195 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
196 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
197 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 198
41bd17a4 199 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
200 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
201 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
202 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
203 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
204 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
205 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
206 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
207 type acl.
cccac0a2 208
41bd17a4 209 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
210 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
211 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
212 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
213 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
214 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 215
41bd17a4 216 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 217
41bd17a4 218 "program" cmdline
219 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
220 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
221 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
222 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
223 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
224 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 225
41bd17a4 226 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
227 program is specified.
cccac0a2 228
41bd17a4 229 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
230 this line to something like
307b83b7 231
41bd17a4 232 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 233
d2a89ac1
AJ
234 "utf8" on|off
235 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
236 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
237 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
238 username & password to the helper.
239
7353861b 240 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 241 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 242 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
243 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
244 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
245 authenticator processes.

247 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount

AJ
250 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
251 the maximum.
252
7353861b

253 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
254 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
255 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
256 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
257 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
258 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 259 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

266 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
267 password). There is no default.
268 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 269
41bd17a4 270 "credentialsttl" timetolive
271 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
272 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
273 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
274 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
275 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
276 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
277 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
278 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
279 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 280
41bd17a4 281 "casesensitive" on|off
282 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
283 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
284 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
285 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.

41bd17a4 288 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 289
41bd17a4 290 "program" cmdline
291 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
292 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
293 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
294 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
295 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
296 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
297 available as %m in the returned error page.

41bd17a4 347 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
348 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
349 valid for.
cccac0a2 350
41bd17a4 351 "nonce_max_count" number
352 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
353 used.
cccac0a2 354
41bd17a4 355 "nonce_strictness" on|off
356 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
357 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
358 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
359 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 360
41bd17a4 361 "check_nonce_count" on|off
362 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
363 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
364 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
365 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 366
41bd17a4 367 "post_workaround" on|off
368 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
369 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
370 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

502 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
503 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
504 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
505 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
506 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
507 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
508 environment with relatively static address assignments.

cccac0a2 596
41bd17a4 597 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
598 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
599 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with

610 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
611 in error pages
612 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
613 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
614 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
615 %ea in logformat specifications
934b03fc 616
41bd17a4 617 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
618 each value in both requests and responses.
6a566b9c 619
41bd17a4 620 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
621 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
622 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
1e5562e3 623
41bd17a4 624 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
625 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
626 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

894 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
895 find the original source of a request.
896
897 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
898 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
899 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
900 rightmost address being the most recent.
901
902 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
903 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
904 to see where that host received the request from. If the
2bf4e8fa
AJ
905 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
906 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
907 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
908 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
909 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
910 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.
3d674977
AJ
911
912 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
913 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
57d76dd4 914 be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
3d674977 915 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,

922 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
923
924 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
925 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
926 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
927 source address of the request. This may enable remote
928 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
929 based on the client's source addresses.
930
931 For example:

1213DOC_START
1214 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1215 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1216 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1217 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1218 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1219 for this reply.
1220
1221 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1222 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1223 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1224 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1225 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1226 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1227 and they will receive a partial reply.
1228
1229 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1230 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1231 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1232 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1233
1234 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1235 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1236 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus

1263 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1264 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1265 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1266 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1267 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1268 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1269 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1270
1271 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1272 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1273
1274 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1275 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will

FC
1764 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6
1765 internets.
cc192b50 1766 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1767 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1768 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1769
1770 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1771 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1772 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1793 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used

2070
2071 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2072
2073 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2074 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2075 For web servers this is usually 80
2076
2077 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2078 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2079 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2080
2081
2082 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2083
2084 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2085 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2086
2087
2088 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2089
2090 multicast-responder
2091 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2092 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2093 replies will be accepted from it.
2094
2095 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2096 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2097
2098 background-ping
2099 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2100 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2101 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2102
2103
2104 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2105
2106 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2107 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2108
2109
2110 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2111 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2112 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2113 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2114
18191440 2115 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2116
18191440 2117 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2118 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2119 only-clr.
2b94f655 2120
18191440
AJ
2121 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2122 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2123
18191440 2124 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2125 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2126 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2127
18191440 2128 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2129 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2130
2131
2132 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2133
2134 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2135 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2136
2137
2138 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2139 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2140 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2141
2142 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2143 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2144 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2145
2146 weighted-round-robin
2147 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2148 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2149 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2150 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2151 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2152
2153 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2154 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2155 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2156
2157 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2158
2159 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2160
2161 multicast-siblings
2162 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2163 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2164 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2165 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2166 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2167 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2168 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2169
2170
2171 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2172
2173 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2174 peer-selection mechanisms.
2175 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2176 larger weights are favored more.
2177 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2178 protocol is not in use.
2179
2180 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2181 times of parents.
2182 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2183 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2184 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2185
3c72389f
AJ
2186 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2187 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2188 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2189 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2190 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2191 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2192
2193 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2194 delay pools.
2195
2196 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2197 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2198 than the Squid default location.
2199
2200
2201 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2202
2203 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2204 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2205 is a web server.
2206
2207 forceddomain=name
2208 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2209 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2210 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2211 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2212
2213 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2214
2215 no-netdb-exchange
2216 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2217
2218
2219 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2220
2221 login=user:password
2222 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2223 requires proxy authentication.
2224
2225 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2226 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2227
11e4c5e5
AJ
2228 login=PASSTHRU
2229 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2230 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2231 without alteration to the peer.
2232 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2233
2234 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2235 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2236 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2237
2b94f655
AJ
2238 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2239 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2240
2b94f655
AJ
2241 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2242 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2243 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2244 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2245
2246 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2247 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2248 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2249 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2250 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2251
2252 login=*:password
2253 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2254 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2255 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2256 needed to identify each user.
2257 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2258 information which is added to the username. This can
2259 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2260 the login=username:password option above.
2261
9ca29d23
AJ
2262 login=NEGOTIATE
2263 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2264 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2265 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2266 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2267
2268 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2269 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2270 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2271 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2272 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2273 used.
2274
2b94f655
AJ
2275 connection-auth=on|off
2276 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2277 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2278 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2279 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2280 of the peer.

2288 A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to
2289 this peer.
2290
2291 sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
2292 The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
2293 If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
2294 reference a combined file containing both the
2295 certificate and the key.
2296
2297 sslversion=1|2|3|4
2298 The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
2299 1 = automatic (default)
2300 2 = SSL v2 only
2301 3 = SSL v3 only
2302 4 = TLS v1 only
2303
2304 sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting
2305 to this peer.

2311 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
2312 a more complete list.
2313
2314 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
2315 when verifying the peer certificate.
2316
2317 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
2318 use when verifying the peer certificate.
2319
2320 sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when

2326 Accept certificates even if they fail to
2327 verify.
2328 NO_DEFAULT_CA
2329 Don't use the default CA list built in
2330 to OpenSSL.
2331 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2332 Don't verify the peer certificate
2333 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2334
2335 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2336 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2337 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2338 used.
2339
2340 front-end-https
2341 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2342 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2343 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2344 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2345 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2346
2347
2348 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2349
2350 connect-timeout=N
2351 A peer-specific connect timeout.
2352 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2353
2354 connect-fail-limit=N
2355 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2356 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2357
2358 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2359 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2360 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2361 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2362 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2363 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2364 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2365
2366 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2367 peer. see also
2368
2369 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2370 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2371 but different ports.
2372 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2373 directives to dentify the peer.
2374 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2375 peername ACL type.

2456DOC_START
2457 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2458 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2459 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2460 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2461 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2462 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2463
41bd17a4 2464 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2465 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2466 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2467 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2468 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2469 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2470 instead of to your parents.

6b698a21 2509DOC_START
41bd17a4 2510 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2511 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2512 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2513 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2514
2515 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2516 for:
2517 * In-Transit objects
2518 * Hot Objects
2519 * Negative-Cached objects
2520
2521 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2522 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2523 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2524 priority.
2525
2526 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2527 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2528 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2529 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2530 not needed for in-transit objects.
2531
2532 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2533 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2534 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2535 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2536 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2537 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2538 objects.

41bd17a4 2600 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2601
41bd17a4 2602 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2603 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2604 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2605 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2606
41bd17a4 2607 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2608 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2609 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2610 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2611
41bd17a4 2612 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2613 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2614 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2615
41bd17a4 2616 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2617 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2618 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2641 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2642 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2643 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.

41bd17a4 2651 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2652
41bd17a4 2653 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always

2660 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2661 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2662 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2663
56fba4d0 2664 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which

41bd17a4 2671 The aufs store type:

41bd17a4 2673 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

41bd17a4 2691 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid

2693 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2694
41bd17a4 2695 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2696 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2697 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2698
41bd17a4 2699 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2700 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2701 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for

2710
41bd17a4 2711 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2712 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2713 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2714 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2715 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2716 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2717 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2718
41bd17a4 2719 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2720 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2721 this will be created by squid -z.

2727 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir

2732 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir

2735 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2736 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2737
41bd17a4 2738 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

5038f9d8 2935 If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as

2937
2938 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP

2941 transaction is in progress.

AR
2945 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
2946 meta-information from the last eCAP
2947 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
2948 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
2949 argument.
3ff65596
AR
2950
2951 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2952 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2953 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2954 value is recorded as an integer number,
2955 representing response time of one or more
2956 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2957 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2958 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2959 logged individually but added to the
2960 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2961 adapt::all_trs.
2962
2963 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2964 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2965 individual transactions are never added
2966 together. Instead, all transaction response
2967 times are recorded individually.
2968
2969 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2970 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2971 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3047 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3048 transaction.
3049
3050 The icap_log option format is:
3051 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3052 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3053
3054 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3055 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3056 features.
3057
3058 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3059 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3060 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3061 log line.
3062
3063 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3064 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3065 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3066 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3067 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3068 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3069 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3070
3071 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3072
3073 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3074
3075 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3076 option in Squid configuration file.
3077
3078 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3079
3080 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3081 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3082
3083 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3084 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3085
3086 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3087 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3088 the socket).
3089
bae917ac
CT
3090 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3091 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3092 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3093 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3094 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3095 computed.
3096
3ff65596
AR
3097 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3098 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3099 the ICAP transaction is created and
3100 stops when the transaction is completed.
3101 Similar to tr.
3102
3103 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3104 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3105 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3106 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3107 is received.
3108
3109 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3110 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3111 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3112 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3113 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3114 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
3115
3116 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
3117
3118 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
3119
3120 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
3121
3122 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
3123 definition, is called icap_squid:

3198 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3199 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
3200 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
5473c134 3201
41bd17a4 3202 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a

41bd17a4 3235 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3236 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3237 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other

4101DOC_START
4102 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4103 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4104 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4105 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4106 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4107 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4108
4109 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4110 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4111 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4112 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4113 as if dechunking was disabled.
4114
4115 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4116 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4117
4118 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4119 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4120 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4180 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4181 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4182 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4183 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4184 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4185 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4186 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4187 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4188 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4189 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4190 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4191 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4192 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4193 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4194 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4195 force fresh content.

4505 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
4506 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
4507 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
4508 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without

4510 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one

4515 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4875 This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
4876
4877 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
4878 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
4879 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
4880 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
4881
4882 For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
4883 pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
4884
4885Example:
4886 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients

4899 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
4900 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
4901 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
4902
4903delay_parameters pool aggregate
4904
4905 For a class 2 delay pool:
4906
4907delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
4908
4909 For a class 3 delay pool:
4910
4911delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
4912
4913 For a class 4 delay pool:
4914
4915delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
4916
4917 For a class 5 delay pool:
4918
4919delay_parameters pool tag
4920
4921 The variables here are:
4922
4923 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
4924 number specified in delay_pools as used in
4925 delay_class lines.
4926
4927 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
4928 (class 1, 2, 3).
4929
4930 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
4931 buckets (class 2, 3).
4932
4933 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
4934 (class 3).
4935
4936 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
4937 (class 4).
4938
4939 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
4940 (class 5).
4941
4942 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
4943 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
4944 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
4945 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
4946
4947 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
4948 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
4949 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
4950
4951delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
4952
4953 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
4954
4955 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
4956 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
4957 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
4958 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
4959 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
4960 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
4961 large downloads more significantly:
4962
4963delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
4964
4965 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
4966
4967 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
4968 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
4969

5953 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
5954 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
5955 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
5956 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
5957
5958 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
5959 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
5960 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
5961 the first authentication related acl encountered
5962 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
5963 acl processed on the last http_access line.

5473c134 6056 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6057 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6058 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6059 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6060 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6061
5473c134 6062 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6063 always_direct allow local-servers

6068 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6069
5473c134 6070 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6071 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6072 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6073 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6074 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6075
5473c134 6076 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6077 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6078 always_direct deny local-external
6079 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6080
5473c134 6081 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6082 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6083 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6084 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6085

6104 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify

6106 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6107 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:

5473c134 6110 never_direct deny local-servers
6111 never_direct allow all
6112
6113 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6114 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6115
6116 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6117 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

6459 an opaque identifier which must be unique in squid.conf
6460
6461 vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache

6463 ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
6464 are not yet supported.
a22e6cd3
AR
6465
6466 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
6467 ICAP server and service location.
6468
6469 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6470 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6471 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6472 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6473 service_names differ.
6474
6475
6476 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6477 the following name=value options:
6478
6479 bypass=on|off|1|0
6480 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6481 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6482 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6483 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6484 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6485 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6486 returned to the HTTP client.
6487
6488 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6489
6490 routing=on|off|1|0
6491 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6492 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6493 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6494 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6495 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
6496 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
6497 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
6498 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
6499 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
6500 ends the current adaptation.
6501
6502 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
6503 response header is ignored.
6504
e6713f4e
AJ
6505 ipv6=on|off
6506 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
6507 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
6508 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.

6617 The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first
6618 applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next
6619 applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the
6620 previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
6621 intact.
62c7f90e 6622
a22e6cd3

62c7f90e 6625
a22e6cd3

6626 The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
6627 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6628
6629 If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
6630 bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
6631 transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
6632 another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
6633 transaction fails as well.
6634
6635 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
6636 is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
6637 ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
6638 Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that
6639 matters.

6663 applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of
6664 the previous service in the chain.
6665
6666 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
6667 not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service.
6668
6669 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
6670 does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
6671 "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).
6672
6673 The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
6674 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6675
6676 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
6677 essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
6678 other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
6679 is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

6907 Set to "none" to disable EDNS large packet support.
6908
6909 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
6910 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
6911 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
6912 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
6913 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
6914
6915 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
6916 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
6917 necessary.
6918
6919 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
6920 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
6921 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
6922 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
6923 sizes being advertised by Squid.
6924 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
6925 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

7383 If the memory usage (as determined by mallinfo) exceeds
904971da 7384 this amount, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
5473c134 7385 the administrators attention.

7393DOC_START
7394 When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
7395 sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
7396 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
7397 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
7398 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
7399 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
7400 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
7401 until all the child processes have been started.
7402 On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
7403 rounded to 1000.

7412DOC_START
7413 On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will
7414 reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
7415 proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
7416 In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
7417 desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
7418 Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.

7464 Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,
7465
7466 cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7
7467
7468 affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first
7469 four even cores, starting with core #1.
7470
7471 CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for
7472 sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls.
7473
7474 Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged.
