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

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

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

58 | Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters |
59 | ||
60 | Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other | |
61 | special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use | |
62 | the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or | |
63 | disable that support. | |
64 | ||
65 | Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external | |
66 | files using the syntax: | |
67 | parameters("/path/filename") | |
68 | For example: | |
69 | acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt") | |
70 | ||
5735d30b AR |
71 | Conditional configuration |
72 | ||
73 | If-statements can be used to make configuration directives | |
74 | depend on conditions: | |
75 | ||
76 | if <CONDITION> | |
77 | ... regular configuration directives ... | |
78 | [else | |
79 | ... regular configuration directives ...] | |
80 | endif | |
81 | ||
82 | The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif" | |
83 | must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular | |
84 | configuration directives. | |
85 | ||
5945964d AJ |
86 | NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported. |
87 | ||
5735d30b AR |
88 | These individual conditions types are supported: |
89 | ||
90 | true | |
91 | Always evaluates to true. | |
92 | false | |
93 | Always evaluates to false. | |
94 | <integer> = <integer> | |
95 | Equality comparison of two integer numbers. | |
96 | ||
97 | ||
d4a3e179 AR |
98 | SMP-Related Macros |
99 | ||
100 | The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used. | |
101 | ||
102 | ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name" | |
103 | (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1). | |
104 | ||
105 | ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process | |
106 | identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique | |
6fe8c876 AJ |
107 | across all Squid processes of the current service instance. |
108 | ||
109 | ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance | |
110 | name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line. | |
111 | ||
cde8f31b NH |
112 | Logformat Macros |
113 | ||
114 | Logformat macros can be used in many places outside of the logformat | |
115 | directive. In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros, | |
116 | where they are supported. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) when | |
117 | the transaction does not yet have enough information and a value is needed. | |
118 | ||
119 | There is no definitive list of what tokens are available at the various | |
120 | stages of the transaction. | |
121 | ||
122 | And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet | |
123 | committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report | |
124 | such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash | |
125 | ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. | |

452 | LOC: Config.shmLocking | |
453 | DEFAULT: off | |
454 | DOC_START | |
455 | Whether to ensure that all required shared memory is available by | |
456 | "locking" that shared memory into RAM when Squid starts. The | |
457 | alternative is faster startup time followed by slightly slower | |
458 | performance and, if not enough RAM is actually available during | |
459 | runtime, mysterious crashes. | |
460 | ||
461 | SMP Squid uses many shared memory segments. These segments are | |
462 | brought into Squid memory space using an mmap(2) system call. During | |
463 | Squid startup, the mmap() call often succeeds regardless of whether | |
464 | the system has enough RAM. In general, Squid cannot tell whether the | |
465 | kernel applies this "optimistic" memory allocation policy (but | |
466 | popular modern kernels usually use it). | |
467 | ||
468 | Later, if Squid attempts to actually access the mapped memory | |
469 | regions beyond what the kernel is willing to allocate, the | |
470 | "optimistic" kernel simply kills Squid kid with a SIGBUS signal. | |
471 | Some of the memory limits enforced by the kernel are currently | |
472 | poorly understood: We do not know how to detect and check them. This | |
473 | option ensures that the mapped memory will be available. | |
474 | ||
475 | This option may have a positive performance side-effect: Locking | |
476 | memory at start avoids runtime paging I/O. Paging slows Squid down. | |
477 | ||
478 | Locking memory may require a large enough RLIMIT_MEMLOCK OS limit, | |
479 | CAP_IPC_LOCK capability, or equivalent. | |

485 | LOC: Config.hopelessKidRevivalDelay | |
486 | DEFAULT: 1 hour | |
487 | DOC_START | |
488 | Normally, when a kid process dies, Squid immediately restarts the | |
489 | kid. A kid experiencing frequent deaths is marked as "hopeless" for | |
490 | the duration specified by this directive. Hopeless kids are not | |
491 | automatically restarted. | |
492 | ||
493 | Currently, zero values are not supported because they result in | |
494 | misconfigured SMP Squid instances running forever, endlessly | |
495 | restarting each dying kid. To effectively disable hopeless kids | |
496 | revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year). | |
497 | ||
498 | Reconfiguration also clears all hopeless kids designations, allowing | |
499 | for manual revival of hopeless kids. | |

5c112575 | 510 | LOC: Auth::TheConfig.schemes |
cccac0a2 | 511 | DEFAULT: none |
512 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 513 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
514 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 515 | |
66c583dc | 516 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 517 | |
41bd17a4 | 518 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
519 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
520 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
521 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
522 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
523 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
524 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
525 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
526 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 527 | |
41bd17a4 | 528 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
529 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
530 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
531 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 532 | |
41bd17a4 | 533 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
534 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
535 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
536 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
537 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
538 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
539 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
540 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
541 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 542 | |
41bd17a4 | 543 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
544 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
545 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
546 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
547 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |
548 | authentication disabled. | |

550 | === Parameters common to all schemes. === |
551 | ||
552 | "program" cmdline | |
66c583dc | 553 | Specifies the command for the external authenticator. |
d4806c91 | 554 | |
66c583dc AJ |
555 | By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a |
556 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 557 | |
66c583dc AJ |
558 | See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for |
559 | more details on helper operations and creating your own. | |
5269ec0e | 560 | |
66c583dc AJ |
561 | "key_extras" format |
562 | Specifies a string to be append to request line format for | |
563 | the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain | |
564 | spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro | |
565 | can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if | |
566 | the helper request is sent before the required macro | |
567 | information is available to Squid. | |
568 | ||
569 | By default, Squid uses request formats provided in | |
570 | scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). | |
571 | ||
572 | The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials | |
573 | cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to | |
574 | autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., | |
575 | when user authentication depends on http_port). | |
576 | ||
577 | Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For | |
578 | example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently | |
579 | in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat | |
580 | every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL | |
581 | and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also | |
582 | force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP | |
583 | changes. | |
584 | ||
585 | "realm" string | |
586 | Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be | |
587 | reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is | |
588 | commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for | |
589 | their username and password. | |
590 | ||
591 | For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". | |
592 | For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. | |
593 | For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. | |
5269ec0e | 594 | |
6082a0e2 EB |
595 | "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] |
596 | [queue-size=N] [on-persistent-overload=action] | |
a56fcf0b | 597 | [reservation-timeout=seconds] |
5269ec0e | 598 | |
66c583dc AJ |
599 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If |
600 | you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process | |
601 | a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When | |
602 | password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are | |
603 | likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
5269ec0e | 604 | |
66c583dc AJ |
605 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact |
606 | amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup | |
607 | and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to | |
608 | idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N | |
609 | free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. | |
5269ec0e | 610 | |
66c583dc AJ |
611 | The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests |
612 | the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers | |
613 | who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a | |
614 | number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a | |
615 | channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing | |
616 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel | |
617 | without waiting for the response. | |
cccac0a2 | 618 | |
66c583dc AJ |
619 | Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper |
620 | supports the input format with channel-ID fields. | |
cccac0a2 | 621 | |
79933cd6 AR |
622 | The queue-size option sets the maximum number of queued |
623 | requests. A request is queued when no existing child can | |
624 | accept it due to concurrency limit and no new child can be | |
625 | started due to numberofchildren limit. The default maximum is | |
626 | 2*numberofchildren. Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the | |
627 | configured maximum, marking the affected helper as | |
628 | "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts more than 3 | |
629 | minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload | |
630 | option applies. | |
6082a0e2 EB |
631 | |
632 | The on-persistent-overload=action option specifies Squid | |
633 | reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper | |
634 | has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number | |
635 | of queued requests determines whether the helper is overloaded | |
636 | (see the queue-size option). | |
637 | ||
638 | Two actions are supported: | |
639 | ||
640 | die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior. | |
641 | ||
642 | ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was | |
643 | immediately submitted, and the helper immediately | |
644 | replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect | |
645 | on the already queued and in-progress helper requests. | |
6825b101 | 646 | |
66c583dc AJ |
647 | NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency |
648 | in the Squid code module even though some helpers can. | |
307b83b7 | 649 | |
a56fcf0b CT |
650 | The reservation-timeout=seconds option allows NTLM and Negotiate |
651 | helpers to forget about clients that abandon their in-progress | |
652 | connection authentication without closing the connection. The | |
653 | timeout is measured since the last helper response received by | |
654 | Squid for the client. Fractional seconds are not supported. | |
655 | ||
656 | After the timeout, the helper will be used for other clients if | |
657 | there are no unreserved helpers available. In the latter case, | |
658 | the old client attempt to resume authentication will not be | |
659 | forwarded to the helper (and the client should open a new HTTP | |
660 | connection and retry authentication from scratch). | |
661 | ||
662 | By default, reservations do not expire and clients that keep | |
663 | their connections open without completing authentication may | |
664 | exhaust all NTLM and Negotiate helpers. | |
665 | ||
b2b09838 AJ |
666 | "keep_alive" on|off |
667 | If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using | |
668 | the NTLM or Negotiate schemes then you can try setting this | |
669 | to off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection | |
670 | on the initial request where the browser asks which schemes | |
671 | are supported by the proxy. | |
9e7dbc51 | 672 | |
b2b09838 | 673 | For Basic and Digest this parameter is ignored. |
d2a89ac1 | 674 | |
66c583dc | 675 | "utf8" on|off |
7e851a3e SK |
676 | Useful for sending credentials to authentication backends that |
677 | expect UTF-8 encoding (e.g., LDAP). | |
678 | ||
679 | When this option is enabled, Squid uses HTTP Accept-Language | |
680 | request header to guess the received credentials encoding | |
681 | (ISO-Latin-1, CP1251, or UTF-8) and then converts the first | |
682 | two encodings into UTF-8. | |
683 | ||
684 | When this option is disabled and by default, Squid sends | |
685 | credentials in their original (i.e. received) encoding. | |
686 | ||
687 | This parameter is only honored for Basic and Digest schemes. | |
688 | For Basic, the entire username:password credentials are | |
689 | checked and, if necessary, re-encoded. For Digest -- just the | |
690 | username component. For NTLM and Negotiate schemes, this | |
691 | parameter is ignored. | |

695 | ||
41bd17a4 | 696 | "credentialsttl" timetolive |
66c583dc AJ |
697 | Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated |
698 | username:password pair is valid for - in other words how | |
699 | often the helper program is called for that user. Set this | |
700 | low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. | |
cccac0a2 | 701 | |
66c583dc AJ |
702 | NOTE: setting this high does not impact your susceptibility |
703 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password | |
704 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
705 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |
706 | use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule. | |
cccac0a2 | 707 | |
66c583dc AJ |
708 | "casesensitive" on|off |
709 | Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases | |
710 | are case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled | |
711 | using both lower and upper case letters, but some are case | |
712 | sensitive. This makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL | |
713 | processing and similar. | |

cccac0a2 | 718 | |
41bd17a4 | 719 | "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval |
66c583dc AJ |
720 | Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued |
721 | to client_agent's are checked for validity. | |
cccac0a2 | 722 | |
41bd17a4 | 723 | "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval |
66c583dc AJ |
724 | Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be |
725 | valid for. | |
cccac0a2 | 726 | |
41bd17a4 | 727 | "nonce_max_count" number |
66c583dc AJ |
728 | Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be |
729 | used. | |
cccac0a2 | 730 | |
41bd17a4 | 731 | "nonce_strictness" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
732 | Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior |
733 | for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when | |
734 | user agents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1 | |
735 | (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off. | |
cccac0a2 | 736 | |
41bd17a4 | 737 | "check_nonce_count" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
738 | This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check |
739 | completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in | |
740 | certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the | |
741 | nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks. | |
cccac0a2 | 742 | |
41bd17a4 | 743 | "post_workaround" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
744 | This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who send an |
745 | incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing the | |
746 | same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request. | |

eef8bf2d AR |
841 | cache=n The maximum number of entries in the result cache. The |
842 | default limit is 262144 entries. Each cache entry usually | |
843 | consumes at least 256 bytes. Squid currently does not remove | |
844 | expired cache entries until the limit is reached, so a proxy | |
845 | will sooner or later reach the limit. The expanded FORMAT | |
846 | value is used as the cache key, so if the details in FORMAT | |
847 | are highly variable, a larger cache may be needed to produce | |

890 | %DATA The ACL arguments specified in the referencing config |
891 | 'acl ... external' line, separated by spaces (an | |
892 | "argument string"). see acl external. | |
893 | ||
894 | If there are no ACL arguments %DATA expands to '-'. | |

896 | If you do not specify a DATA macro inside FORMAT, | |
897 | Squid automatically appends %DATA to your FORMAT. | |

903 | encoding modifier is used (e.g., %#DATA), then Squid | |
904 | encodes the whole argument string as a single token | |
905 | (e.g., with %#DATA, spaces between arguments become | |
906 | %20). | |

0638f4a2 | 922 | [channel-ID] FORMAT-values |
5269ec0e AJ |
923 | |
924 | ||
925 | FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with | |
926 | whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification | |
927 | using the FORMAT macros listed above. | |
928 | ||
5269ec0e AJ |
929 | Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect |
930 | each value in requests against whitespaces. | |
931 | ||
932 | If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not | |
933 | URL escaped to protect against whitespace. | |
934 | ||
935 | NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. | |
936 | ||
937 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by | |
938 | introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. | |
939 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |
940 | This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part | |
941 | of the response relating to its request. | |
942 | ||
943 | ||
944 | The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification | |
945 | and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result | |
946 | code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details. | |

952 | ||
953 | Result consists of one of the codes: | |
954 | ||
955 | OK | |
956 | the ACL test produced a match. | |
957 | ||
958 | ERR | |
959 | the ACL test does not produce a match. | |

961 | BH | |
4ded749e | 962 | An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing |
5269ec0e AJ |
963 | a result being identified. |
964 | ||
965 | The meaning of 'a match' is determined by your squid.conf | |
966 | access control configuration. See the Squid wiki for details. | |

1032 | ACL Options | |
1033 | ||
1034 | Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour: | |
0f987978 CT |
1035 | |
1036 | -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them | |
1037 | case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive | |
1038 | use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line | |
1039 | without -i. | |
1040 | ||
1041 | -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or | |
1042 | conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or | |
1043 | domain name) does not match the message address type (domain | |
1044 | name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch | |
1045 | without any warnings or lookups. | |
1046 | ||
76ee67ac CT |
1047 | -m[=delimiters] |
1048 | Perform a list membership test, interpreting values as | |
1049 | comma-separated token lists and matching against individual | |
1050 | tokens instead of whole values. | |
1051 | The optional "delimiters" parameter specifies one or more | |
1052 | alternative non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. | |
1053 | non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. | |
1054 | ||
0f987978 CT |
1055 | -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl |
1056 | value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-' | |
1057 | is a valid domain name) | |

1327 | # This ACL is especially useful for recording complex multi-step | |

1347 | # and even if subsequent ACLs fail to match. For example, the | |
1348 | # following three rules will have exactly the same effect as far | |
1349 | # as annotations set by the "mark" ACL are concerned: | |

1619 | DOC_START |
1620 | Determine which client proxies can be trusted to provide correct | |
1621 | information regarding real client IP address using PROXY protocol. | |
1622 | ||
1623 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies | |
1624 | before reaching us. The original source details may by sent in: | |
1625 | * HTTP message Forwarded header, or | |
1626 | * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or | |
1627 | * PROXY protocol connection header. | |
1628 | ||
1629 | This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol | |
1630 | connections received from a port flagged with require-proxy-header. | |
1631 | It is checked only once after TCP connection setup. | |
1632 | ||
1633 | A deny match results in TCP connection closure. | |
1634 | ||
1635 | An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding | |
1636 | TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers. | |
1637 | If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information | |
1638 | to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL | |
1639 | checks, logging, etc. | |
1640 | ||
1641 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: | |
1642 | ||
c390580b | 1643 | Any host from which we accept client IP details can place |
d3d92daa AJ |
1644 | incorrect information in the relevant header, and Squid |
1645 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the | |
1646 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
1647 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |

1661 | Determine which client proxies can be trusted to provide correct |

3d674977 | 1664 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies |
70a16fea AJ |
1665 | before reaching us. The original source details may by sent in: |
1666 | * HTTP message Forwarded header, or | |

1668 | * PROXY protocol connection header. | |
3d674977 | 1669 | |
d3d92daa AJ |
1670 | PROXY protocol connections are controlled by the proxy_protocol_access |
1671 | directive which is checked before this. | |
1672 | ||
3d674977 | 1673 | If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this |
70a16fea AJ |
1674 | directive, then we trust the information it provides regarding |
1675 | the IP of the client it received from (if any). | |
1676 | ||
1677 | For the purpose of ACLs used in this directive the src ACL type always | |
1678 | matches the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS. | |
1679 | ||
70a16fea AJ |
1680 | On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields. |
1681 | If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow | |
1682 | match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value. | |
1683 | The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be | |
1684 | tested, or there are no more values to test. | |
1685 | NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header. | |
3d674977 AJ |
1686 | |
1687 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
1688 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
57d76dd4 | 1689 | be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay |
3d674977 | 1690 | pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client, |

1697 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: |
1698 | ||
c390580b | 1699 | Any host from which we accept client IP details can place |
70a16fea | 1700 | incorrect information in the relevant header, and Squid |
3d674977 AJ |
1701 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the |
1702 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
1703 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
1704 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
1705 | ||
1706 | For example: | |

1708 | acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 | |

2069 | especially useful in interception environments where Squid is likely | |

56d089f3 | 2075 | The first matching action wins. Only fast ACLs are supported. |
3248e962 CT |
2076 | |
2077 | Supported actions are: | |
2078 | ||
2079 | tunnel: Establish a TCP connection with the intended server and | |
2080 | blindly shovel TCP packets between the client and server. | |
2081 | ||
2082 | respond: Respond with an error message, using the transfer protocol | |
2083 | for the Squid port that received the request (e.g., HTTP | |
2084 | for connections intercepted at the http_port). This is the | |
2085 | default. | |
56d089f3 CT |
2086 | |
2087 | Squid expects the following traffic patterns: | |
2088 | ||
2089 | http_port: a plain HTTP request | |
2090 | https_port: SSL/TLS handshake followed by an [encrypted] HTTP request | |
2091 | ftp_port: a plain FTP command (no on_unsupported_protocol support yet!) | |
2092 | CONNECT tunnel on http_port: same as https_port | |
2093 | CONNECT tunnel on https_port: same as https_port | |
2094 | ||
9155253a | 2095 | Currently, this directive has effect on intercepted connections and |
56d089f3 CT |
2096 | bumped tunnels only. Other cases are not supported because Squid |
2097 | cannot know the intended destination of other traffic. | |
3248e962 CT |

2100 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving non-HTTP traffic: | |

2129 | avoid whitespace or quote the entire schemes list. | |
2130 | ||
2131 | A special "ALL" scheme name expands to all auth_param-configured | |
2132 | schemes in their configuration order. This directive cannot be used | |
2133 | to configure Squid to offer no authentication schemes at all. | |

2135 | The first matching auth_schemes rule determines the schemes order | |
2136 | for the current Authentication Required transaction. Note that the | |
2137 | future response is not yet available during auth_schemes evaluation. | |
2138 | ||
2139 | If this directive is not used or none of its rules match, then Squid | |
2140 | responds with all configured authentication schemes in the order of | |

2143 | This directive does not determine when authentication is used or | |
2144 | how each authentication scheme authenticates clients. | |
2145 | ||
2146 | The following example sends basic and negotiate authentication | |
2147 | schemes, in that order, when requesting authentication of HTTP | |

2173 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |

2175 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
2176 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
2177 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
c7b1dd5d | 2178 | address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific |
5b0f5383 | 2179 | address, so you can use the port number alone. |

2471 | Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid |
2472 | listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various | |
2473 | ways to specify the listening address and mode. | |
2474 | ||
2475 | Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options] | |
2476 | ||
2477 | WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen | |
2478 | limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not | |
2479 | currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not | |
2480 | even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying! | |
2481 | ||
2482 | Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests | |
2483 | with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives | |
2484 | actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs). | |
2485 | ||
2486 | Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or | |
2487 | wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP | |
2488 | responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages | |
2489 | are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers | |
2490 | between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to | |
2491 | examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP | |
2492 | mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, | |
2493 | http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. | |
2494 | ||
2495 | Modes: | |
2496 | ||
3cc0f4e7 | 2497 | intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is |
8a2f40dd AR |
2498 | determined based on the intended destination of the |
2499 | intercepted connection. | |
2500 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2501 | tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing |
2502 | connections using the client IP address. | |
2503 | NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. | |
2504 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2505 | By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the |
2506 | FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER | |
2507 | command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying. | |
2508 | ||
2509 | Options: | |
2510 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2511 | name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to |
2512 | the port address. Usable with myportname ACL. | |

8a2f40dd AR |
2515 | Enables tracking of FTP directories by injecting extra |
2516 | PWD commands and adjusting Request-URI (in wrapping | |
2517 | HTTP requests) to reflect the current FTP server | |
aea65fec | 2518 | directory. Tracking is disabled by default. |
8a2f40dd | 2519 | |
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2520 | protocol=FTP Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted |
2521 | requests with. Defaults to FTP. No other accepted | |
2522 | values have been tested with. An unsupported value | |
2523 | results in a FATAL error. Accepted values are FTP, | |
2524 | HTTP (or HTTP/1.1), and HTTPS (or HTTPS/1.1). | |
2525 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2526 | Other http_port modes and options that are not specific to HTTP and |
2527 | HTTPS may also work. | |

2654 | The mark-value and mask are unsigned integers (hex, octal, or decimal). | |
2655 | The mask may be used to preserve marking previously set by other agents | |
2656 | (e.g., iptables). | |
2657 | ||
2658 | A matching rule replaces the CONNMARK value. If a mask is also | |
2659 | specified, then the masked bits of the original value are zeroed, and | |
2660 | the configured mark-value is ORed with that adjusted value. | |
2661 | For example, applying a mark-value 0xAB/0xF to 0x5F CONNMARK, results | |
2662 | in a 0xFB marking (rather than a 0xAB or 0x5B). | |

2664 | This directive semantics is similar to iptables --set-mark rather than | |

2824 | and Request-URI components: | |
2825 | ||
2826 | * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical, | |
2827 | but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks. | |
2828 | For the two host names to match, both must be either IP | |
2829 | or FQDN. | |
2830 | ||
2831 | * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing | |
2832 | the scheme-default port is assumed. | |
2833 | ||
2834 | ||
2835 | When set to OFF (the default): | |
2836 | Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a | |
2837 | security warning and blocks caching of the response. | |
2838 | ||
2839 | * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |
2840 | ||
2841 | * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |

bfe4e2fe AJ |
2855 | |
2856 | As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used | |
2857 | to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for | |
2858 | malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin | |
2859 | security policy and sandboxing protections. | |
2860 | ||
2861 | The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their | |
2862 | own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser | |
2863 | sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP | |
2864 | as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may | |
2865 | be different from the connected IP and approved origin. | |

2874 | With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request | |
2875 | directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster | |
2876 | source using the HTTP Host header. | |
2877 | ||
2878 | Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster | |
2879 | connectivity with a range of failure recovery options. | |
2880 | But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and | |
2881 | server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy. | |
2882 | ||
2883 | This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being | |
2884 | located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server. | |
2885 | The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead. | |
2886 | ||
2887 | Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted | |
2888 | traffic Squid will verify the Host: header and any traffic which | |
2889 | fails Host verification will be treated as if this option were ON. | |

3460 | cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0 |
3461 | ||
3462 | type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. | |
3463 | ||
3464 | proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests. | |
3465 | For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128 | |
3466 | For web servers this is usually 80 | |
3467 | ||
3468 | icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects. | |
3469 | Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP. | |
3470 | See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details. | |
3471 | ||
3472 | ||
3473 | ==== ICP OPTIONS ==== | |
3474 | ||
3475 | You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3476 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP. | |
3477 | ||
3478 | ||
3479 | no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor. | |
3480 | ||
3481 | multicast-responder | |
3482 | Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group. | |
3483 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
3484 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
3485 | ||
3486 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
3487 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
3488 | ||
3489 | background-ping | |
3490 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
3491 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
3492 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
3493 | ||
3494 | ||
3495 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
3496 | ||
3497 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3498 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
3499 | ||
3500 | ||
3501 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
3502 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
18191440 AJ |
3503 | instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated |
3504 | list of options described below. | |
2b94f655 | 3505 | |
18191440 | 3506 | htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). |
2b94f655 | 3507 | |
18191440 | 3508 | htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
2b94f655 | 3509 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with |
18191440 | 3510 | only-clr. |
2b94f655 | 3511 | |
18191440 AJ |
3512 | htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. |
3513 | This cannot be used with no-clr. | |
2b94f655 | 3514 | |
18191440 | 3515 | htcp=no-purge-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3516 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when |
3517 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
3518 | ||
18191440 | 3519 | htcp=forward-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3520 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. |
3521 | ||
3522 | ||
3523 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
3524 | ||
3525 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
3526 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
3527 | ||
3528 | ||
3529 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
3530 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
3531 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
3532 | ||
3533 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3534 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
3535 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3536 | ||
3537 | weighted-round-robin | |
3538 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3539 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
3540 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
3541 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
3542 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3543 | ||
3544 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
3545 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
3546 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
3547 | ||
3548 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
3549 | ||
3550 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
8a368316 AJ |
3551 | |
3552 | multicast-siblings | |
3553 | To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". | |
3554 | ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" | |
2e9993e1 | 3555 | relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast |
8a368316 AJ |
3556 | group when the requested object would be fetched only from |
3557 | a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when | |
3558 | configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being | |
3559 | members of the same multicast group. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3560 | |
3561 | ||
3562 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
3563 | ||
3564 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
3565 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
3566 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
3567 | larger weights are favored more. | |
3568 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
3569 | protocol is not in use. | |
3570 | ||
3571 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
3572 | times of parents. | |
3573 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
3574 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
3575 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
3576 | ||
3c72389f AJ |
3577 | ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries |
3578 | to this address. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3579 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. |
3580 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
3581 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
3582 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
3583 | ||
3584 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
3585 | delay pools. | |
3586 | ||
3587 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
3588 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
3589 | than the Squid default location. | |
3590 | ||
3591 | ||
de03b596 FC |
3592 | ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== |
3593 | ||
3594 | carp-key=key-specification | |
3595 | use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. | |
3596 | the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords | |
3597 | scheme, host, port, path, params | |
3598 | Order is not important. | |
3599 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3600 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== |
3601 | ||
3602 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
3603 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
3604 | is a web server. | |
3605 | ||
3606 | forceddomain=name | |
3607 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
3608 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
3609 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
3610 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
3611 | ||
3612 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
3613 | ||
3614 | no-netdb-exchange | |
3615 | Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). | |
3616 | ||
3617 | ||
3618 | ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== | |
3619 | ||
3620 | login=user:password | |
3621 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3622 | requires proxy authentication. | |
3623 | ||
3624 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
3625 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
3626 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
3627 | login=PASSTHRU |
3628 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
3629 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
3630 | without alteration to the peer. | |
3631 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
3632 | ||
3633 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
3634 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
3635 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 3636 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3637 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
3638 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 3639 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3640 | If there are no client-provided authentication headers |

3792 | ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== |
3793 | ||
3794 | connect-timeout=N | |
3795 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
3796 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
3797 | ||
3798 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
3799 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
e8dca475 CT |
3800 | it is marked as down. Standby connection failures |
3801 | count towards this limit. Default is 10. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3802 | |
3803 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
3804 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
a5bb0c26 AR |
3805 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use |
3806 | of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way | |
3807 | to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to | |
3808 | deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer: | |
3809 | acl fromPeer ... | |
3810 | cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer | |
2b94f655 | 3811 | |
e8dca475 CT |
3812 | max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid |
3813 | may open to this peer, including already opened idle | |
3814 | and standby connections. There is no peer-specific | |
3815 | connection limit by default. | |
3816 | ||
3817 | A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new | |
3818 | requests unless a standby connection is available. | |
3819 | ||
3820 | max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent | |
3821 | connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, | |
3822 | and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, | |
3823 | the peer may not be selected because the limiting code | |
3824 | does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle | |
3825 | connections. | |
3826 | ||
3827 | standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an | |
3828 | UP peer, available for requests when no idle | |
3829 | persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. | |
3830 | By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. | |
3831 | N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). | |
3832 | ||
3833 | At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP | |
3834 | standby connections until there are N connections | |
3835 | available and then replenishes the standby pool as | |
3836 | opened connections are used up for requests. A used | |
3837 | connection never goes back to the standby pool, but | |
3838 | may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool | |
3839 | shared by all peers and origin servers. | |
3840 | ||
3841 | Squid never opens multiple new standby connections | |
3842 | concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes | |
3843 | flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few | |
3844 | standby connections should be sufficient in most cases | |
3845 | to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use | |
3846 | connection. | |
3847 | ||
3848 | Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. | |
3849 | For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be | |
3850 | configured to accept and keep them open longer than | |
3851 | the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize | |
3852 | race conditions typical to idle used persistent | |
3853 | connections. Default request_timeout and | |
3854 | server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a | |
3855 | configuration. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3856 | |
3857 | name=xxx Unique name for the peer. | |
3858 | Required if you have multiple peers on the same host | |
3859 | but different ports. | |
3860 | This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar | |
a5bb0c26 | 3861 | directives to identify the peer. |
2b94f655 AJ |
3862 | Can be used by outgoing access controls through the |
3863 | peername ACL type. | |
3864 | ||
b0758e04 AJ |
3865 | no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding |
3866 | requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead. | |
0d901ef4 | 3867 | This overrides the spoof_client_ip ACL. |

a5bb0c26 AR |
3882 | cache_peer_access peer-name allow|deny [!]aclname ... |
3883 | ||
3884 | For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the | |
3885 | cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the | |
3886 | cache_peer hostname parameter. | |
3887 | ||
3888 | This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but | |
3889 | does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are | |
3890 | contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms | |
3891 | (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation). | |
3892 | ||
3893 | If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted | |
3894 | for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and | |
3895 | will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves | |
3896 | the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given | |
3897 | peer wins for that peer. | |
3898 | ||
3899 | The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3900 | matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives | |
3901 | for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a | |
3902 | good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3903 | together. | |
3904 | ||
3905 | A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times | |
3906 | for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms | |
3907 | may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks | |
3908 | may be optimized away in future Squid versions. | |
3909 | ||

3939 | LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer | |
3940 | DOC_START | |
3941 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |
3942 | as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this | |
3943 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
3944 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
3945 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
3946 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
699acd19 | 3947 | |
41bd17a4 | 3948 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP |
3949 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
3950 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
3951 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
3952 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |

3987 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
3988 | ||
3989 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
3990 | for: | |
3991 | * In-Transit objects | |
3992 | * Hot Objects | |
3993 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
3994 | ||
3995 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
3996 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
3997 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
3998 | priority. | |
3999 | ||
4000 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
4001 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
4002 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
4003 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
4004 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
4005 | ||
4006 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
4007 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
4008 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
4009 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
4010 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
4011 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
4012 | objects. | |

4013 | |
4014 | If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared | |
4015 | cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much | |
4016 | local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory | |

70f856bc AR |
4041 | The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace |
4042 | the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be | |

65b81b27 | 4047 | By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the |

638402dd | 4104 | Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this directive. |
7f7db318 | 4105 | |
41bd17a4 | 4106 | The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects. |
0976f8db | 4107 | |
41bd17a4 | 4108 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
4109 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
4110 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
4111 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 4112 | |
41bd17a4 | 4113 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
4114 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
4115 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
4116 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 4117 | |
41bd17a4 | 4118 | Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents |
4119 | cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based | |
4120 | replacement policies. | |

0976f8db | 4175 | |
41bd17a4 | 4176 | Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs" |

0976f8db | 4179 | |
41bd17a4 | 4180 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
4181 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
4182 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. | |
4183 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid | |

4191 | ==== The ufs store type ==== | |
0976f8db | 4192 | |
41bd17a4 | 4193 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
4194 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 4195 | |
638402dd AJ |
4196 | Usage: |
4197 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
0976f8db | 4198 | |
41bd17a4 | 4199 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
4200 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
4201 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
4202 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
4203 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
0976f8db | 4204 | |
56fba4d0 | 4205 | 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 4206 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. |
0976f8db | 4207 | |
56fba4d0 | 4208 | 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 4209 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default |
4210 | is 256. | |

4213 | ==== The aufs store type ==== | |
7f7db318 | 4214 | |
41bd17a4 | 4215 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
4216 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
4217 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |
38f9c547 | 4218 | |
638402dd AJ |
4219 | Usage: |
4220 | cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |

4225 | ==== The diskd store type ==== | |
38f9c547 | 4226 | |
41bd17a4 | 4227 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
4228 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
4229 | disk-I/O. | |
4c3ef9b2 | 4230 | |
638402dd AJ |
4231 | Usage: |
4232 | cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n] | |
0976f8db | 4233 | |
41bd17a4 | 4234 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 4235 | |
41bd17a4 | 4236 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
4237 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
4238 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 4239 | |
41bd17a4 | 4240 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
4241 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
4242 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 4243 | |
41bd17a4 | 4244 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
4245 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
4246 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
4247 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
4248 | time. | |

4253 | Usage: | |

e2851fe7 | 4255 | |
2e55f083 | 4256 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e51ce7da AR |
4257 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots. |
4258 | A single entry occupies one or more slots. | |
e2851fe7 | 4259 | |
3e1dfe3d AR |
4260 | If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid |
4261 | process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk | |
4262 | I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers | |
4263 | are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support | |
4264 | for the IpcIo disk I/O module. | |
4265 | ||
43ebbac3 AR |
4266 | swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or |
4267 | reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation | |
4268 | will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By | |
4269 | default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit | |
4270 | enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because | |
4271 | blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the | |
4272 | expected swap wait time. | |
4273 | ||
df881a0f | 4274 | max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using |
1e614370 | 4275 | the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that |
df881a0f | 4276 | would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are |
1e614370 DK |
4277 | delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are |
4278 | not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and | |
4279 | since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out | |
4280 | requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. | |
4281 | This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too | |
df881a0f AR |
4282 | many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes |
4283 | while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together | |
4284 | with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows | |
4285 | when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default | |
4286 | and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit | |
4287 | enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. | |
4288 | ||
e51ce7da AR |
4289 | slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for |
4290 | storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least | |
4291 | one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so | |
4292 | increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while | |
4293 | decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a | |
4294 | multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to | |
4295 | 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and | |
4296 | smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than | |
4297 | 100 bytes. | |

638402dd AJ |
4332 | How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response |
4333 | object will fit into more than one. | |
4334 | ||
4335 | Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size | |
4336 | and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect | |
4337 | the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered | |
4338 | cache_dir. | |
4339 | ||
4340 | Algorithms: | |
4341 | ||
4342 | least-load | |
4343 | ||
4344 | This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir | |
4345 | sizes and disk speeds. | |
4346 | ||
4347 | The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. | |
4348 | When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking | |
4349 | the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. | |
4350 | ||
4351 | When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks | |
4352 | have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more | |
4353 | capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput | |
4354 | may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. | |
4355 | ||
4356 | ||
4357 | round-robin | |
4358 | ||
4359 | This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir | |
4360 | disk sizes. | |
4361 | ||
4362 | Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable | |
4363 | cache_dir is used. | |
4364 | ||
4365 | Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation | |
4366 | to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and | |
4367 | max-size parameters. | |
4368 | ||
4369 | Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow | |
4370 | disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any | |
4371 | I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. | |
4372 | ||
29a238a3 AR |
4373 | If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other |
4374 | limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such | |
4375 | cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias | |
4376 | towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave | |
4377 | cache_dir lines from different groups. For example: | |
4378 | ||
4379 | store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin | |
4380 | cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000 | |
4381 | cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999 | |

4440 | maintain utilization near the low-water mark. | |
4441 | ||
4442 | As swap utilization increases towards this high-water mark object | |
4443 | eviction becomes more agressive. | |
4444 | ||
4445 | The value difference in percentages between low- and high-water | |
7bcaf76f | 4446 | marks represent an eviction rate of 300 objects per second and |
5f662601 AJ |
4447 | the rate continues to scale in agressiveness by multiples of |
4448 | this above the high-water mark. | |
41bd17a4 | 4449 | |
4450 | Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be | |
4451 | hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these | |
4452 | numbers closer together. | |

4476 | % format codes all follow the same basic structure where all |
4477 | components but the formatcode are optional and usually unnecessary, | |
4478 | especially when dealing with common codes. | |

4533 | If no argument given all annotations logged. |
4534 | The argument may include a separator to use with | |
4535 | annotation values: | |
4536 | name[:separator] | |
4537 | By default, multiple note values are separated with "," | |
4538 | and multiple notes are separated with "\r\n". | |
4539 | When logging named notes with %{name}note, the | |
4540 | explicitly configured separator is used between note | |
4541 | values. When logging all notes with %note, the | |
4542 | explicitly configured separator is used between | |
4543 | individual notes. There is currently no way to | |
4544 | specify both value and notes separators when logging | |
4545 | all notes with %note. | |

4550 | accepted or initiated later. Due to current implementation | |
4551 | deficiencies, some IDs are skipped (i.e. never logged). | |

4577 | >handshake Raw client handshake |
4578 | Initial client bytes received by Squid on a newly | |
4579 | accepted TCP connection or inside a just established | |
4580 | CONNECT tunnel. Squid stops accumulating handshake | |
4581 | bytes as soon as the handshake parser succeeds or | |
4582 | fails (determining whether the client is using the | |
4583 | expected protocol). | |
4584 | ||
4585 | For HTTP clients, the handshake is the request line. | |
4586 | For TLS clients, the handshake consists of all TLS | |
4587 | records up to and including the TLS record that | |
4588 | contains the last byte of the first ClientHello | |
4589 | message. For clients using an unsupported protocol, | |
4590 | this field contains the bytes received by Squid at the | |
4591 | time of the handshake parsing failure. | |
4592 | ||
4593 | See the on_unsupported_protocol directive for more | |
4594 | information on Squid handshake traffic expectations. | |
4595 | ||
4596 | Current support is limited to these contexts: | |
4597 | - http_port connections, but only when the | |
4598 | on_unsupported_protocol directive is in use. | |
4599 | - https_port connections (and CONNECT tunnels) that | |
4600 | are subject to the ssl_bump peek or stare action. | |
4601 | ||
4602 | To protect binary handshake data, this field is always | |
4603 | base64-encoded (RFC 4648 Section 4). If logformat | |
4604 | field encoding is configured, that encoding is applied | |
4605 | on top of base64. Otherwise, the computed base64 value | |
4606 | is recorded as is. | |

4618 | tS Approximate master transaction start time in |

4620 | Currently, Squid considers the master transaction | |
4621 | started when a complete HTTP request header initiating | |
4622 | the transaction is received from the client. This is | |
4623 | the same value that Squid uses to calculate transaction | |
4624 | response time when logging %tr to access.log. Currently, | |
4625 | Squid uses millisecond resolution for %tS values, | |
4626 | similar to the default access.log "current time" field | |
4627 | (%ts.%03tu). | |

4869 | ||
4870 | icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP | |
4871 | transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP | |
4872 | ACLs are checked and when ICAP | |
4873 | transaction is in progress. | |
4874 | ||
c28b9a0e | 4875 | If adaptation is enabled the following codes become available: |
3ff65596 | 4876 | |
5038f9d8 AR |
4877 | adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or |
4878 | meta-information from the last eCAP | |
4879 | transaction related to the HTTP transaction. | |
4880 | Like <h, accepts an optional header name | |
4881 | argument. | |
3ff65596 AR |
4882 | |
4883 | adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response | |
4884 | times recorded as a comma-separated list in | |
4885 | the order of transaction start time. Each time | |
4886 | value is recorded as an integer number, | |
4887 | representing response time of one or more | |
4888 | adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in | |
4889 | milliseconds. When a failed transaction is | |
4890 | being retried or repeated, its time is not | |
4891 | logged individually but added to the | |
4892 | replacement (next) transaction. See also: | |
4893 | adapt::all_trs. | |
4894 | ||
4895 | adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times. | |
4896 | Same as adaptation_strs but response times of | |
4897 | individual transactions are never added | |
4898 | together. Instead, all transaction response | |
4899 | times are recorded individually. | |
4900 | ||
4901 | You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation | |
4902 | service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific | |
4903 | to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs | |

4905 | Format codes related to the PROXY protocol: |
4906 | ||
4907 | proxy_protocol::>h PROXY protocol header, including optional TLVs. | |
4908 | ||
4909 | Supports the same field and element reporting/extraction logic | |
4910 | as %http::>h. For configuration and reporting purposes, Squid | |
4911 | maps each PROXY TLV to an HTTP header field: the TLV type | |
4912 | (configured as a decimal integer) is the field name, and the | |
4913 | TLV value is the field value. All TLVs of "LOCAL" connections | |
4914 | (in PROXY protocol terminology) are currently skipped/ignored. | |
4915 | ||
4916 | Squid also maps the following standard PROXY protocol header | |
4917 | blocks to pseudo HTTP headers (their names use PROXY | |
4918 | terminology and start with a colon, following HTTP tradition | |
4919 | for pseudo headers): :command, :version, :src_addr, :dst_addr, | |
4920 | :src_port, and :dst_port. | |
4921 | ||
4922 | Without optional parameters, this logformat code logs | |
4923 | pseudo headers and TLVs. | |
4924 | ||
4925 | This format code uses pass-through URL encoding by default. | |
4926 | ||
4927 | Example: | |
4928 | # relay custom PROXY TLV #224 to adaptation services | |
4929 | adaptation_meta Client-Foo "%proxy_protocol::>h{224}" | |
4930 | ||
4931 | See also: %http::>h | |

4955 | Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions. |
4956 | If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every | |
4957 | matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are: | |
4958 | ||
4959 | access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...] | |
4960 | access_log none [acl acl ...] | |
4961 | ||
4962 | The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated: | |
82b7abe3 | 4963 | access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] |
fb0c2f17 NH |
4964 | |
4965 | In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character | |
4966 | and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always | |
4967 | start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions. | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4968 | |
4969 | Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which | |
41bd17a4 | 4970 | must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match |
4971 | ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses). | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4972 | If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination. |
4973 | ||
fb0c2f17 NH |
4974 | ===== Available options for the recommended directive format ===== |
4975 | ||
4976 | logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or | |
4977 | defined by a logformat directive). Defaults | |
4978 | to 'squid'. | |
4979 | ||
4980 | buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log | |
4981 | records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not | |
4982 | keep more than the specified size and, hence, | |
4983 | should flush records before the buffer becomes | |
4984 | full to avoid overflows under normal | |
4985 | conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is | |
4986 | module-dependent though). The on-error option | |
4987 | controls overflow handling. | |
4988 | ||
4989 | on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The | |
4990 | 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log) | |
4991 | affected log records. The default 'die' action | |
4992 | kills the affected worker. The drop action | |
4993 | support has not been tested for modules other | |
4994 | than tcp. | |
4995 | ||
efc23871 AJ |
4996 | rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to |
4997 | make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default | |
4998 | is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting | |
4999 | rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation, | |
5000 | but the log files are still closed and re-opened. | |
5001 | This will enable you to rename the logfiles | |
5002 | yourself just before sending the rotate signal. | |
5003 | Only supported by the stdio module. | |
5004 | ||
82b7abe3 AJ |
5005 | ===== Modules Currently available ===== |
5006 | ||

5049 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
5050 | transaction. | |
5051 | ||
5052 | The icap_log option format is: | |
5053 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
5054 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
5055 | ||
5056 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
5057 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
5058 | features. | |
5059 | ||
5060 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
5061 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
5062 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
5063 | log line. | |
5064 | ||
bd59d61c EB |
5065 | ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context, |
5066 | HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded | |
5067 | in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP | |
5068 | messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used | |
5069 | for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example: | |
5070 | ||
5071 | http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to | |
5072 | the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are | |
5073 | HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP | |
5074 | response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them | |
5075 | (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD). | |
5076 | ||
5077 | http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP | |
5078 | service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular | |
5079 | REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during | |
5080 | request satisfaction in REQMOD). | |
5081 | ||
5082 | ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages. | |
5083 | ||
5084 | Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP | |
5085 | message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message | |
5086 | (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When | |
5087 | computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid | |
5088 | either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see | |
5089 | code-specific documentation for details. | |
5090 | ||
5091 | For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently | |
5092 | computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not | |
5093 | in use at all. | |
3ff65596 AR |
5094 | |
5095 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
5096 | ||
5097 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
5098 | ||
5099 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
5100 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
5101 | ||
5102 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
5103 | ||
5104 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
5105 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
5106 | ||
bd59d61c EB |
5107 | icap::>st The total size of the ICAP request sent to the ICAP |
5108 | server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including chunking | |
5109 | metadata (if any). | |
3ff65596 | 5110 | |
bd59d61c EB |
5111 | icap::<st The total size of the ICAP response received from the |
5112 | ICAP server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including | |
5113 | chunking metadata (if any). | |
3ff65596 | 5114 | |
bd59d61c EB |
5115 | icap::<bs The size of the ICAP response body received from the |
5116 | ICAP server, excluding chunking metadata (if any). | |
bae917ac | 5117 | |
3ff65596 AR |
5118 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in |
5119 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
5120 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
5121 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
5122 | Similar to tr. | |
5123 | ||
5124 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
5125 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
5126 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
5127 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
5128 | is received. | |
5129 | ||
5130 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
5131 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
5132 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
5133 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
5134 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
5135 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |
5136 | ||
5137 | icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs. | |

5259 | signal to the running squid process. In certain situations | |
5260 | (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other | |

5262 | in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1 | |

41bd17a4 | 6569 | This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the |
6570 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3b07476b CT |
6571 | more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows |
6572 | removal of specific header fields under specific conditions. | |
6573 | ||
6574 | This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e., | |
6575 | headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer | |
6576 | or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit | |
6577 | detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP | |
6578 | terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
6579 | ||
6580 | The option is applied to individual outgoing request header | |
6581 | fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first | |
6582 | qualifying sets of request_header_access rules: | |
6583 | ||
6584 | 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name. | |
6585 | 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not | |
6586 | on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names. | |
6587 | 3. Rules with header_name 'All'. | |
6588 | ||
6589 | Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual. | |
6590 | If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to | |
6591 | go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is | |
6592 | removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify | |
6593 | if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the | |
6594 | set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is. | |

6831 | ||

6832 | When enabled, instead of forwarding each concurrent request for |
6833 | the same URL, Squid just sends the first of them. The other, so | |
6834 | called "collapsed" requests, wait for the response to the first | |
6835 | request and, if it happens to be cachable, use that response. | |
6836 | Here, "concurrent requests" means "received after the first | |
6837 | request headers were parsed and before the corresponding response | |
6838 | headers were parsed". | |
6839 | ||
6840 | This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed | |
6841 | forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look | |
6842 | cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded | |
6843 | individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable | |
6844 | content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly | |
6845 | cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the | |
6846 | gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh | |
6847 | requests] outweigh losses from such delays. | |
6848 | ||
6849 | Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests | |
6850 | received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache | |
6851 | revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular | |
6852 | requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing | |

6893 | This directive limits the size of a table used for sharing current |
6894 | transaction information among SMP workers. A table entry stores meta | |
6895 | information about a single cache entry being delivered to Squid | |
6896 | client(s) by one or more SMP workers. A single table entry consumes | |
6897 | less than 128 shared memory bytes. | |
8f7dbf74 | 6898 | |
daed75a9 EB |
6899 | The limit should be significantly larger than the number of |
6900 | concurrent non-collapsed cachable responses leaving Squid. For a | |
6901 | cache that handles less than 5000 concurrent requests, the default | |
8f7dbf74 DD |
6902 | setting of 16384 should be plenty. |
6903 | ||
daed75a9 EB |
6904 | Using excessively large values wastes shared memory. Limiting the |
6905 | table size too much results in hash collisions, leading to lower hit | |
6906 | ratio and missed SMP request collapsing opportunities: Transactions | |
6907 | left without a table entry cannot cache their responses and are | |
6908 | invisible to other concurrent requests for the same resource. | |
6909 | ||
6910 | A zero limit is allowed but unsupported. A positive small limit | |
6911 | lowers hit ratio, but zero limit disables a lot of essential | |
6912 | synchronization among SMP workers, leading to HTTP violations (e.g., | |
6913 | stale hit responses). It also disables shared collapsed forwarding: | |
6914 | A worker becomes unable to collapse its requests on transactions in | |
6915 | other workers, resulting in more trips to the origin server and more | |
6916 | cache thrashing. | |

7030 | DOC_START | |
7031 | The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to | |
7032 | remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache | |
7033 | from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up | |
7034 | in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without | |
7035 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |
7036 | because of a poor client implementation). The default is one | |
7037 | day, 1440 minutes. | |

41bd17a4 | 7039 | NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any |
7040 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |
7041 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |
7042 | If you seem to have many client connections tying up | |
7043 | filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout, | |

7053 | Desired maximum lifetime of a persistent connection. | |
7054 | When set, Squid will close a now-idle persistent connection that | |
7055 | exceeded configured lifetime instead of moving the connection into | |
7056 | the idle connection pool (or equivalent). No effect on ongoing/active | |
7057 | transactions. Connection lifetime is the time period from the | |
7058 | connection acceptance or opening time until "now". | |
7059 | ||
7060 | This limit is useful in environments with long-lived connections | |
7061 | where Squid configuration or environmental factors change during a | |
7062 | single connection lifetime. If unrestricted, some connections may | |
7063 | last for hours and even days, ignoring those changes that should | |
7064 | have affected their behavior or their existence. | |
7065 | ||
7066 | Currently, a new lifetime value supplied via Squid reconfiguration | |
7067 | has no effect on already idle connections unless they become busy. | |
7068 | ||
7069 | When set to '0' this limit is not used. | |

7389 | This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one | |
7390 | delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two | |
7391 | delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above | |
7392 | and here would be: | |

7395 | delay_pools 4 # 4 delay pools | |
7396 | delay_class 1 2 # pool 1 is a class 2 pool | |
7397 | delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool | |
7398 | delay_class 3 4 # pool 3 is a class 4 pool | |
7399 | delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool | |
9edd9041 | 7400 | |
7401 | The delay pool classes are: | |
7402 | ||
7403 | class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
7404 | bucket. | |
7405 | ||
7406 | class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
7407 | bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen | |
b1fb3348 | 7408 | from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address. |
9edd9041 | 7409 | |
7410 | class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
7411 | bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen | |
7412 | from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a | |
7413 | "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through | |
b1fb3348 | 7414 | 32 of the IPv4 address. |
9edd9041 | 7415 | |
7416 | class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an | |
7417 | additional limit on a per user basis. This | |
7418 | only takes effect if the username is established | |
7419 | in advance - by forcing authentication in your | |
7420 | http_access rules. | |
7421 | ||
7422 | class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see | |
7423 | external_acl's tag= reply). | |
7424 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
7425 | |
7426 | Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size | |
7427 | and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with | |
7428 | a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used. | |
7429 | ||
9edd9041 | 7430 | NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d |
7431 | -> bits 25 through 32 are "d" | |
7432 | -> bits 17 through 24 are "c" | |
7433 | -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d" | |
b1fb3348 AJ |
7434 | |

7477 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
7478 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
0b68481a | 7479 | description of delay_class. |
9edd9041 | 7480 | |
0b68481a | 7481 | For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: |
6e7502cc | 7482 | delay_class pool 1 |
0b68481a | 7483 | delay_parameters pool aggregate |
9edd9041 | 7484 | |
7485 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7486 | delay_class pool 2 |
0b68481a | 7487 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual |
9edd9041 | 7488 | |
7489 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7490 | delay_class pool 3 |
0b68481a | 7491 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual |
9edd9041 | 7492 | |
7493 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7494 | delay_class pool 4 |
0b68481a | 7495 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user |
9edd9041 | 7496 | |
7497 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7498 | delay_class pool 5 |
0b68481a | 7499 | delay_parameters pool tagrate |
9edd9041 | 7500 | |
0b68481a | 7501 | The option variables are: |
9edd9041 | 7502 | |
7503 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
7504 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
7505 | delay_class lines. | |
7506 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7507 | aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket |
9edd9041 | 7508 | (class 1, 2, 3). |
7509 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7510 | individual the speed limit parameters for the individual |
9edd9041 | 7511 | buckets (class 2, 3). |
7512 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7513 | network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets |
9edd9041 | 7514 | (class 3). |
7515 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7516 | user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets |
9edd9041 | 7517 | (class 4). |
7518 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7519 | tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets |
9edd9041 | 7520 | (class 5). |
7521 | ||
7522 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
7523 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
7524 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
7525 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
7526 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
7527 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
7528 | ||
7529 | ||
9edd9041 | 7530 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |
0b68481a | 7531 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec |
9edd9041 | 7532 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |
7533 | ||
6e7502cc | 7534 | delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000 |
0b68481a | 7535 | |
c3e31a3a | 7536 | Note that 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. |
9edd9041 | 7537 | |
6e7502cc | 7538 | Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit. |
9edd9041 | 7539 | |
0b68481a | 7540 | |
9edd9041 | 7541 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
7542 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit) |
7543 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each | |
7544 | individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits | |
9edd9041 | 7545 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed |
7546 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
7547 | large downloads more significantly: | |
7548 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
7549 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 |
7550 | ||
c3e31a3a AJ |
7551 | Note that 8 x 32K Byte/sec -> 256K bit/sec. |
7552 | 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. | |
7553 | 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800 bit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 7554 | |
9edd9041 | 7555 | |
7556 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
0b68481a | 7557 | be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: |
9edd9041 | 7558 | |
0b68481a | 7559 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 |

7876 | WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two | |
7877 | types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines | |
7878 | one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from | |
7879 | 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id | |
7880 | one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done | |
7881 | using the wccp2_service_info option. | |
7882 | ||
7883 | The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option, | |
7884 | just specifying the service id will suffice. | |
7885 | ||
7886 | MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding | |

5473c134 | 8658 | |
8659 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |
8660 | do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last | |
8661 | acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists | |
8662 | for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page. | |
8663 | ||
8664 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
8665 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
8666 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
8667 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
8668 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
8669 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |
3af10ac0 AR |
8670 | - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service, |
8671 | the acl name is the corresponding eCAP or ICAP service_name. | |

43000484 AJ |
8673 | NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory |
8674 | you may also specify them by your custom file name: | |
8675 | Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys | |
5473c134 | 8676 | |
aed9a15b AJ |
8677 | By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx |
8678 | may be specified by prefixing the file name with the code and a colon. | |
8679 | e.g. 404:ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED | |
8680 | ||
5473c134 | 8681 | Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection |
8682 | by specifying TCP_RESET. | |
15b02e9a AJ |
8683 | |
8684 | Or you can specify an error URL or URL pattern. The browsers will | |
aed9a15b AJ |
8685 | get redirected to the specified URL after formatting tags have |
8686 | been replaced. Redirect will be done with 302 or 307 according to | |
8687 | HTTP/1.1 specs. A different 3xx code may be specified by prefixing | |
8688 | the URL. e.g. 303:http://example.com/ | |

5473c134 | 8725 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |
9967aef6 | 8726 | (not cacheable request type) direct to origin servers. |
e72a0ec0 | 8727 | |
638402dd | 8728 | When this is set to "off", Squid will prefer to send these |
5473c134 | 8729 | requests to parents. |
0b0cfcf2 | 8730 | |
5473c134 | 8731 | Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only |
8732 | add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit | |
8733 | ratio. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8734 | |
638402dd AJ |
8735 | This option only sets a preference. If the parent is unavailable a |
8736 | direct connection to the origin server may still be attempted. To | |
8737 | completely prevent direct connections use never_direct. | |

8744 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 8745 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |
8746 | reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if | |
8747 | going direct fails set this to on. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8748 | |
5473c134 | 8749 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
8750 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
8751 | fails. | |
8752 | ||
8753 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
8754 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |
8755 | acts on cacheable requests. | |

8763 | DOC_START | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
8764 | RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent |
8765 | response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network. | |
8766 | If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs | |
8767 | it can prevent new cache entries being created. | |
8768 | ||
8769 | This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the | |
8770 | client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new | |
8771 | content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly | |
8772 | empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating | |
8773 | non-conditional GETs. | |
96598f93 AJ |
8774 | |
8775 | When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
8776 | to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable |
8777 | payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created. | |
96598f93 AJ |
8778 | |
8779 | When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will | |
8780 | remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
8781 | the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response |
8782 | from the server to create a new cache entry with. | |

0b0cfcf2 | 8792 | |
5473c134 | 8793 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
8794 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
8795 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
8796 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
8797 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8798 | |
5473c134 | 8799 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
8800 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8801 | |
5473c134 | 8802 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 8803 | |
5473c134 | 8804 | acl FTP proto FTP |
8805 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 8806 | |
5473c134 | 8807 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
8808 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
8809 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
8810 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
8811 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 8812 | |
5473c134 | 8813 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
8814 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
8815 | always_direct deny local-external | |
8816 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 8817 | |
5473c134 | 8818 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
8819 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
8820 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
8821 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 8822 | |
5473c134 | 8823 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
8824 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |
b3567eb5 | 8825 | the replies see the 'cache' directive. |

8839 | never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read | |
8840 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
8841 | ||
8842 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
8843 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
8844 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
8845 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
8846 | ||
8847 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 8848 | never_direct deny local-servers |
8849 | never_direct allow all | |
8850 | ||
8851 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
8852 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |
8853 | ||
8854 | acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net | |
8855 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |

9044 | The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates | |
9045 | when establishing a new TCP connection with an ICAP service. If | |
9046 | the number of failures exceeds the limit, the ICAP service is | |
9047 | not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its | |
8277060a | 9048 | OPTIONS. |
5473c134 | 9049 | |
9050 | A negative value disables the limit. Without the limit, an ICAP | |
9051 | service will not be considered down due to connectivity failures | |
9052 | between ICAP OPTIONS requests. | |
8277060a CT |
9053 | |
9054 | Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified | |
9055 | value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm | |
9056 | is approximate because Squid does not remember individual | |
9057 | errors but groups them instead, splitting the option | |
9058 | value into ten time slots of equal length. | |
9059 | ||
9060 | When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no | |
9061 | effect on service failure expiration. | |
9062 | ||
9063 | Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings | |
9064 | using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option | |
9065 | setting. | |
9066 | ||

7d90757b | 9220 | |
c25c2836 CT |
9221 | id: ID |
9222 | an opaque identifier or name which is used to direct traffic to | |
9223 | this specific service. Must be unique among all adaptation | |
9224 | services in squid.conf. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9225 | |
9226 | vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache | |
f3db09e2 | 9227 | This specifies at which point of transaction processing the |
9228 | ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points | |
9229 | are not yet supported. | |
a22e6cd3 | 9230 | |
c25c2836 | 9231 | uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath |
a22e6cd3 | 9232 | ICAP server and service location. |
1b091aec CT |
9233 | icaps://servername:port/servicepath |
9234 | The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and | |
9235 | service location (default port is 1344, connections are not | |
9236 | encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP | |
9237 | services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by | |
9238 | default, on port 11344). | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9239 | |
9240 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
9241 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
9242 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
9243 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
9244 | service_names differ. | |
9245 | ||
3caa16d2 AR |
9246 | To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group |
9247 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9248 | |
9249 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
9250 | the following name=value options: | |
9251 | ||
9252 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
9253 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
9254 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
9255 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
9256 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
9257 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
9258 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
9259 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
9260 | ||
9261 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
9262 | ||
9263 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
9264 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to | |
9265 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
9266 | returning a chain of services to be used next. The services | |
9267 | are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header | |
9268 | value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names. | |
e2851fe7 AR |
9269 | Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other |
9270 | services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results | |
9271 | in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation. | |
9272 | ||
9273 | Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported | |
9274 | vectoring points in their natural processing order. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9275 | |
9276 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
9277 | response header is ignored. | |
9278 | ||
e6713f4e AJ |
9279 | ipv6=on|off |
9280 | Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems | |
9281 | is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will | |
9282 | make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service. | |
9283 | ||
2dba5b8e CT |
9284 | on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force |
9285 | If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do | |
9286 | one of the following for each new ICAP transaction: | |
9287 | * block: send an HTTP error response to the client | |
9288 | * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service | |
9289 | * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot | |
9290 | * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit | |
9291 | ||
9292 | In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service | |
9293 | connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all | |
9294 | workers may use a given service. | |
9295 | ||
9296 | The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable, | |
9297 | otherwise it is set to "wait". | |
9298 | ||
9299 | ||
9300 | max-conn=number | |
9301 | Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless | |
9302 | of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any. | |
9303 | ||
88df846b CT |
9304 | connection-encryption=on|off |
9305 | Determines the ICAP service effect on the connections_encrypted | |
9306 | ACL. | |
9307 | ||
9308 | The default is "on" for Secure ICAP services (i.e., those | |
9309 | with the icaps:// service URIs scheme) and "off" for plain ICAP | |
9310 | services. | |

9460 | the service provider. | |
9461 | ||
3caa16d2 AR |
9462 | To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group |
9463 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |
c25c2836 CT |
9464 | |
9465 | Service options are separated by white space. eCAP services support | |
9466 | the following name=value options: | |
9467 | ||
9468 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
9469 | If set to 'on' or '1', the eCAP service is treated as optional. | |
9470 | If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, Squid will try | |
9471 | to ignore any errors and process the message as if the service | |
21a26d31 | 9472 | was not enabled. No all eCAP errors can be bypassed. |
c25c2836 CT |
9473 | If set to 'off' or '0', the eCAP service is treated as essential |
9474 | and all eCAP errors will result in an error page returned to the | |
21a26d31 | 9475 | HTTP client. |
c25c2836 CT |
9476 | |
9477 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
9478 | ||
9479 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
9480 | If set to 'on' or '1', the eCAP service is allowed to | |
9481 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
9482 | returning a chain of services to be used next. | |
9483 | ||
9484 | Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported | |

9533 | ||
9534 | adaptation_service_set set_name service_name1 service_name2 ... | |
9535 | ||
9536 | The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first | |
9537 | applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next | |
9538 | applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the | |
9539 | previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still | |
9540 | intact. | |
62c7f90e | 9541 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9542 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |
9543 | not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
62c7f90e | 9544 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9545 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
9546 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
9547 | ||
9548 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
9549 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
9550 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
9551 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
9552 | transaction fails as well. | |
9553 | ||
9554 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
9555 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
9556 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |
9557 | Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that | |

9574 | Configures a list of complementary services that will be applied | |
9575 | one-by-one, forming an adaptation chain or pipeline. This is useful | |

9577 | ||
9578 | adaptation_service_chain chain_name service_name1 svc_name2 ... | |
9579 | ||
9580 | The named services are used in the chain declaration order. The first | |
9581 | applicable adaptation service from the chain is used first. The next | |
9582 | applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of | |
9583 | the previous service in the chain. | |
9584 | ||
9585 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
9586 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
9587 | ||
9588 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
9589 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
9590 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |
9591 | ||
9592 | The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point | |
9593 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
9594 | ||
9595 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
9596 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |
9597 | other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure | |

9670 | For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response | |

9673 | pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed | |
9674 | with the master transaction. | |
9675 | ||
9676 | This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept | |
9677 | from and forward to the adaptation transactions. | |
9678 | ||
9679 | An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the | |
9680 | shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name | |
6666da11 AR |

9704 | This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request | |

9706 | Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other | |
9707 | transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service. | |
9708 | ||
9709 | The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven: | |
9710 | adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ... | |
9711 | ||
9712 | Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match. | |
9713 | Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL | |
9714 | lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For | |
9715 | example: | |
9716 | ||
9717 | # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging | |
9718 | adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging | |
9719 | ||
9720 | # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret | |
9721 | adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret | |
9722 | ||
9723 | # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group | |
9724 | adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1 | |
9725 | ||
9726 | The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double | |
9727 | quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape | |
9728 | any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes | |

9730 | "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\"" | |

9732 | Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note | |

9835 | Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes | |

9839 | WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply | |
9840 | with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some | |

9842 | EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram | |
9843 | sizes being advertised by Squid. | |
9844 | Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain | |
9845 | even if it would be resolvable without EDNS. | |

10274 | are in use. | |
82806837 AJ |
10275 | Note this may be considered a violation of RFC2616 |
10276 | request parsing where whitespace is prohibited in the | |
10277 | URL field. | |
10278 | ||
5473c134 | 10279 | encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are |

10284 | ||
10285 | ||
10286 | NOTE the current Squid implementation of encode and chop violates | |

10427 | adaptation environments. | |
10428 | ||
10429 | When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue" | |
10430 | header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the | |
10431 | request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or | |
10432 | peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some | |
10433 | broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may | |
10434 | decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However, | |
10435 | that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not | |
10436 | responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message | |
10437 | to the request sender yet! | |
10438 | ||
10439 | An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 | |
10440 | (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the | |
10441 | request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces | |
10442 | the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells | |
10443 | Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms | |
10444 | that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior. | |

10451 | LOC: Config.accessList.serverPconnForNonretriable | |
10452 | DOC_START | |
10453 | This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection | |
10454 | reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful | |
10455 | in environments where opening new connections is very expensive | |
10456 | (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server | |
10457 | certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent | |
10458 | connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems. | |
10459 | ||
10460 | HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST). | |
10461 | Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT). | |
10462 | By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new | |
10463 | connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent | |
10464 | connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable | |
10465 | request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes | |
10466 | the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response | |
10467 | from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway) | |
10468 | with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail. | |
10469 | ||
10470 | If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection | |
10471 | (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then | |
10472 | Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry. | |
10473 | ||
10474 | This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle | |
10475 | persistent connections (if any). | |
10476 | ||
10477 | This clause only supports fast acl types. | |

10490 | DOC_START | |
10491 | This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the minimum | |
10492 | delay between opening a primary to-server connection and opening a | |
10493 | spare to-server connection for the same master transaction. This delay | |
10494 | is similar to the Connection Attempt Delay in RFC 8305, but it is only | |
10495 | applied to the first spare connection attempt. Subsequent spare | |
10496 | connection attempts use happy_eyeballs_connect_gap, and primary | |
10497 | connection attempts are not artificially delayed at all. | |
10498 | ||
10499 | Terminology: The "primary" and "spare" designations are determined by | |
10500 | the order of DNS answers received by Squid: If Squid DNS AAAA query | |
10501 | was answered first, then primary connections are connections to IPv6 | |
10502 | peer addresses (while spare connections use IPv4 addresses). | |
10503 | Similarly, if Squid DNS A query was answered first, then primary | |
10504 | connections are connections to IPv4 peer addresses (while spare | |
10505 | connections use IPv6 addresses). | |
10506 | ||
10507 | Shorter happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values reduce master | |
10508 | transaction response time, potentially improving user-perceived | |
10509 | response times (i.e., making user eyeballs happier). Longer delays | |
10510 | reduce both concurrent connection level and server bombardment with | |
10511 | connection requests, potentially improving overall Squid performance | |
10512 | and reducing the chance of being blocked by servers for opening too | |
10513 | many unused connections. | |
10514 | ||
10515 | RFC 8305 prohibits happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values smaller than | |
10516 | 10 (milliseconds) to "avoid congestion collapse in the presence of | |
10517 | high packet-loss rates". | |
10518 | ||
10519 | The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection | |
10520 | opening restrictions: happy_eyeballs_connect_gap and | |
10521 | happy_eyeballs_connect_limit. | |

10531 | This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the | |
10532 | minimum delay between opening spare to-server connections (to any | |
10533 | server; i.e. across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid | |
10534 | instance). Each SMP worker currently multiplies the configured gap | |
10535 | by the total number of workers so that the combined spare connection | |
10536 | opening rate of a Squid instance obeys the configured limit. The | |
10537 | workers do not coordinate connection openings yet; a micro burst | |
10538 | of spare connection openings may violate the configured gap. | |
10539 | ||
10540 | This directive has similar trade-offs as | |
10541 | happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout, but its focus is on limiting traffic | |
10542 | amplification effects for Squid as a whole, while | |
10543 | happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout works on an individual master | |
10544 | transaction level. | |

10558 | maximum number of spare to-server connections (to any server; i.e. | |
10559 | across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid instance). | |
10560 | Each SMP worker gets an equal share of the total limit. However, | |
10561 | the workers do not share the actual connection counts yet, so one | |
10562 | (busier) worker cannot "borrow" spare connection slots from another | |
10563 | (less loaded) worker. | |
10564 | ||
10565 | Setting this limit to zero disables concurrent use of primary and | |
10566 | spare TCP connections: Spare connection attempts are made only after | |
10567 | all primary attempts fail. However, Squid would still use the | |
10568 | DNS-related optimizations of the Happy Eyeballs approach. | |
10569 | ||
10570 | This directive has similar trade-offs as happy_eyeballs_connect_gap, | |
