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 | |
d4a3e179 | 57 | |
8da861a5 EB |
58 | Values with time units |
59 | ||
60 | Time-related directives marked with either "time-units" or | |
61 | "time-units-small" accept a time unit. The supported time units are: | |
62 | ||
63 | nanosecond (time-units-small only) | |
64 | microsecond (time-units-small only) | |
65 | millisecond | |
66 | second | |
67 | minute | |
68 | hour | |
69 | day | |
70 | week | |
71 | fortnight | |
72 | month - 30 days | |
73 | year - 31557790080 milliseconds (just over 365 days) | |
74 | decade | |
75 | ||

76 | Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters |
77 | ||
78 | Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other | |
79 | special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use | |
80 | the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or | |
81 | disable that support. | |
82 | ||
83 | Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external | |
84 | files using the syntax: | |
85 | parameters("/path/filename") | |
86 | For example: | |
87 | acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt") | |
88 | ||
5735d30b AR |
89 | Conditional configuration |
90 | ||
91 | If-statements can be used to make configuration directives | |
92 | depend on conditions: | |
93 | ||
94 | if <CONDITION> | |
95 | ... regular configuration directives ... | |
96 | [else | |
97 | ... regular configuration directives ...] | |
98 | endif | |
99 | ||
100 | The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif" | |
101 | must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular | |
102 | configuration directives. | |
103 | ||
5945964d AJ |
104 | NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported. |
105 | ||
5735d30b AR |
106 | These individual conditions types are supported: |
107 | ||
108 | true | |
109 | Always evaluates to true. | |
110 | false | |
111 | Always evaluates to false. | |
112 | <integer> = <integer> | |
113 | Equality comparison of two integer numbers. | |
114 | ||
115 | ||
d4a3e179 AR |
116 | SMP-Related Macros |
117 | ||
118 | The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used. | |
119 | ||
120 | ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name" | |
121 | (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1). | |
122 | ||
123 | ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process | |
124 | identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique | |
6fe8c876 AJ |
125 | across all Squid processes of the current service instance. |
126 | ||
127 | ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance | |
128 | name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line. | |
129 | ||
cde8f31b NH |
130 | Logformat Macros |
131 | ||
132 | Logformat macros can be used in many places outside of the logformat | |
133 | directive. In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros, | |
134 | where they are supported. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) when | |
135 | the transaction does not yet have enough information and a value is needed. | |
136 | ||
137 | There is no definitive list of what tokens are available at the various | |
138 | stages of the transaction. | |
139 | ||
140 | And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet | |
141 | committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report | |
142 | such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash | |
143 | ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. | |

469 | COMMENT: on|off | |
470 | LOC: Config.shmLocking | |
471 | DEFAULT: off | |
472 | DOC_START | |
473 | Whether to ensure that all required shared memory is available by | |
474 | "locking" that shared memory into RAM when Squid starts. The | |
475 | alternative is faster startup time followed by slightly slower | |
476 | performance and, if not enough RAM is actually available during | |
477 | runtime, mysterious crashes. | |
478 | ||
479 | SMP Squid uses many shared memory segments. These segments are | |
480 | brought into Squid memory space using an mmap(2) system call. During | |
481 | Squid startup, the mmap() call often succeeds regardless of whether | |
482 | the system has enough RAM. In general, Squid cannot tell whether the | |
483 | kernel applies this "optimistic" memory allocation policy (but | |
484 | popular modern kernels usually use it). | |
485 | ||
486 | Later, if Squid attempts to actually access the mapped memory | |
487 | regions beyond what the kernel is willing to allocate, the | |
488 | "optimistic" kernel simply kills Squid kid with a SIGBUS signal. | |
489 | Some of the memory limits enforced by the kernel are currently | |
490 | poorly understood: We do not know how to detect and check them. This | |
491 | option ensures that the mapped memory will be available. | |
492 | ||
493 | This option may have a positive performance side-effect: Locking | |
494 | memory at start avoids runtime paging I/O. Paging slows Squid down. | |
495 | ||
496 | Locking memory may require a large enough RLIMIT_MEMLOCK OS limit, | |
497 | CAP_IPC_LOCK capability, or equivalent. | |

505 | DOC_START | |
506 | Normally, when a kid process dies, Squid immediately restarts the | |
507 | kid. A kid experiencing frequent deaths is marked as "hopeless" for | |
508 | the duration specified by this directive. Hopeless kids are not | |
509 | automatically restarted. | |
510 | ||
511 | Currently, zero values are not supported because they result in | |
512 | misconfigured SMP Squid instances running forever, endlessly | |
513 | restarting each dying kid. To effectively disable hopeless kids | |
514 | revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year). | |
515 | ||
516 | Reconfiguration also clears all hopeless kids designations, allowing | |
517 | for manual revival of hopeless kids. | |

5c112575 | 528 | LOC: Auth::TheConfig.schemes |
cccac0a2 | 529 | DEFAULT: none |
530 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 531 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
532 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 533 | |
66c583dc | 534 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 535 | |
41bd17a4 | 536 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
537 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
538 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
539 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
540 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
541 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
542 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
543 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
544 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 545 | |
41bd17a4 | 546 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
547 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
548 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
549 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 550 | |
41bd17a4 | 551 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
552 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
553 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
554 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
555 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
556 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
557 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
558 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
559 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 560 | |
41bd17a4 | 561 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
562 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
563 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
564 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
565 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |
566 | authentication disabled. | |
cccac0a2 | 567 | |

568 | === Parameters common to all schemes. === |
569 | ||
570 | "program" cmdline | |
66c583dc | 571 | Specifies the command for the external authenticator. |
d4806c91 | 572 | |
66c583dc AJ |
573 | By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a |
574 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 575 | |
66c583dc AJ |
576 | See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for |
577 | more details on helper operations and creating your own. | |
5269ec0e | 578 | |
66c583dc AJ |
579 | "key_extras" format |
580 | Specifies a string to be append to request line format for | |
581 | the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain | |
582 | spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro | |
583 | can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if | |
584 | the helper request is sent before the required macro | |
585 | information is available to Squid. | |
586 | ||
587 | By default, Squid uses request formats provided in | |
588 | scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). | |
589 | ||
590 | The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials | |
591 | cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to | |
592 | autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., | |
593 | when user authentication depends on http_port). | |
594 | ||
595 | Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For | |
596 | example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently | |
597 | in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat | |
598 | every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL | |
599 | and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also | |
600 | force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP | |
601 | changes. | |
602 | ||
603 | "realm" string | |
604 | Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be | |
605 | reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is | |
606 | commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for | |
607 | their username and password. | |
608 | ||
609 | For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". | |
610 | For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. | |
611 | For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. | |
5269ec0e | 612 | |
6082a0e2 EB |
613 | "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] |
614 | [queue-size=N] [on-persistent-overload=action] | |
a56fcf0b | 615 | [reservation-timeout=seconds] |
5269ec0e | 616 | |
66c583dc AJ |
617 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If |
618 | you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process | |
619 | a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When | |
620 | password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are | |
621 | likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
5269ec0e | 622 | |
66c583dc AJ |
623 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact |
624 | amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup | |
625 | and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to | |
626 | idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N | |
627 | free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. | |
5269ec0e | 628 | |
66c583dc AJ |
629 | The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests |
630 | the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers | |
631 | who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a | |
632 | number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a | |
633 | channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing | |
634 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel | |
635 | without waiting for the response. | |
cccac0a2 | 636 | |
66c583dc AJ |
637 | Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper |
638 | supports the input format with channel-ID fields. | |
cccac0a2 | 639 | |
79933cd6 AR |
640 | The queue-size option sets the maximum number of queued |
641 | requests. A request is queued when no existing child can | |
642 | accept it due to concurrency limit and no new child can be | |
643 | started due to numberofchildren limit. The default maximum is | |
644 | 2*numberofchildren. Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the | |
645 | configured maximum, marking the affected helper as | |
646 | "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts more than 3 | |
647 | minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload | |
648 | option applies. | |
6082a0e2 EB |
649 | |
650 | The on-persistent-overload=action option specifies Squid | |
651 | reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper | |
652 | has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number | |
653 | of queued requests determines whether the helper is overloaded | |
654 | (see the queue-size option). | |
655 | ||
656 | Two actions are supported: | |
657 | ||
658 | die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior. | |
659 | ||
660 | ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was | |
661 | immediately submitted, and the helper immediately | |
662 | replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect | |
663 | on the already queued and in-progress helper requests. | |
6825b101 | 664 | |
66c583dc AJ |
665 | NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency |
666 | in the Squid code module even though some helpers can. | |
307b83b7 | 667 | |
a56fcf0b CT |
668 | The reservation-timeout=seconds option allows NTLM and Negotiate |
669 | helpers to forget about clients that abandon their in-progress | |
670 | connection authentication without closing the connection. The | |
671 | timeout is measured since the last helper response received by | |
672 | Squid for the client. Fractional seconds are not supported. | |
673 | ||
674 | After the timeout, the helper will be used for other clients if | |
675 | there are no unreserved helpers available. In the latter case, | |
676 | the old client attempt to resume authentication will not be | |
677 | forwarded to the helper (and the client should open a new HTTP | |
678 | connection and retry authentication from scratch). | |
679 | ||
680 | By default, reservations do not expire and clients that keep | |
681 | their connections open without completing authentication may | |
682 | exhaust all NTLM and Negotiate helpers. | |
683 | ||
b2b09838 AJ |
684 | "keep_alive" on|off |
685 | If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using | |
686 | the NTLM or Negotiate schemes then you can try setting this | |
687 | to off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection | |
688 | on the initial request where the browser asks which schemes | |
689 | are supported by the proxy. | |
9e7dbc51 | 690 | |
b2b09838 | 691 | For Basic and Digest this parameter is ignored. |
d2a89ac1 | 692 | |
66c583dc | 693 | "utf8" on|off |
7e851a3e SK |
694 | Useful for sending credentials to authentication backends that |
695 | expect UTF-8 encoding (e.g., LDAP). | |
696 | ||
697 | When this option is enabled, Squid uses HTTP Accept-Language | |
698 | request header to guess the received credentials encoding | |
699 | (ISO-Latin-1, CP1251, or UTF-8) and then converts the first | |
700 | two encodings into UTF-8. | |
701 | ||
702 | When this option is disabled and by default, Squid sends | |
703 | credentials in their original (i.e. received) encoding. | |
704 | ||
705 | This parameter is only honored for Basic and Digest schemes. | |
706 | For Basic, the entire username:password credentials are | |
707 | checked and, if necessary, re-encoded. For Digest -- just the | |
708 | username component. For NTLM and Negotiate schemes, this | |
709 | parameter is ignored. | |

712 | === Basic authentication parameters === | |
713 | ||
41bd17a4 | 714 | "credentialsttl" timetolive |
66c583dc AJ |
715 | Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated |
716 | username:password pair is valid for - in other words how | |
717 | often the helper program is called for that user. Set this | |
718 | low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. | |
cccac0a2 | 719 | |
66c583dc AJ |
720 | NOTE: setting this high does not impact your susceptibility |
721 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password | |
722 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
723 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |
724 | use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule. | |
cccac0a2 | 725 | |
66c583dc AJ |
726 | "casesensitive" on|off |
727 | Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases | |
728 | are case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled | |
729 | using both lower and upper case letters, but some are case | |
730 | sensitive. This makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL | |
731 | processing and similar. | |

cccac0a2 | 740 | |
41bd17a4 | 741 | "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval |

cccac0a2 | 744 | |
41bd17a4 | 745 | "nonce_max_count" number |
66c583dc AJ |
746 | Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be |
747 | used. | |
cccac0a2 | 748 | |
41bd17a4 | 749 | "nonce_strictness" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
750 | Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior |
751 | for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when | |
752 | user agents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1 | |
753 | (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off. | |
cccac0a2 | 754 | |
41bd17a4 | 755 | "check_nonce_count" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
756 | This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check |
757 | completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in | |
758 | certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the | |
759 | nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks. | |
cccac0a2 | 760 | |
41bd17a4 | 761 | "post_workaround" on|off |
66c583dc AJ |
762 | This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who send an |
763 | incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing the | |
764 | same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request. | |

908 | %DATA The ACL arguments specified in the referencing config |
909 | 'acl ... external' line, separated by spaces (an | |
910 | "argument string"). see acl external. | |
911 | ||
912 | If there are no ACL arguments %DATA expands to '-'. | |
913 | ||
914 | If you do not specify a DATA macro inside FORMAT, | |
915 | Squid automatically appends %DATA to your FORMAT. | |

919 | By default, Squid applies URL-encoding to each ACL |
920 | argument inside the argument string. If an explicit | |
921 | encoding modifier is used (e.g., %#DATA), then Squid | |
922 | encodes the whole argument string as a single token | |
923 | (e.g., with %#DATA, spaces between arguments become | |
924 | %20). | |

945 | using the FORMAT macros listed above. | |
946 | ||
5269ec0e AJ |
947 | Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect |
948 | each value in requests against whitespaces. | |
949 | ||
950 | If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not | |
951 | URL escaped to protect against whitespace. | |
952 | ||
953 | NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. | |
954 | ||
955 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by | |
956 | introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. | |
957 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |
958 | This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part | |
959 | of the response relating to its request. | |
960 | ||
961 | ||
962 | The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification | |
963 | and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result | |
964 | code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details. | |

1050 | ACL Options | |
1051 | ||
1052 | Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour: | |
0f987978 CT |
1053 | |
1054 | -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them | |
1055 | case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive | |
1056 | use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line | |
1057 | without -i. | |
1058 | ||
1059 | -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or | |
1060 | conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or | |
1061 | domain name) does not match the message address type (domain | |
1062 | name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch | |
1063 | without any warnings or lookups. | |
1064 | ||
76ee67ac CT |
1065 | -m[=delimiters] |
1066 | Perform a list membership test, interpreting values as | |
1067 | comma-separated token lists and matching against individual | |
1068 | tokens instead of whole values. | |
1069 | The optional "delimiters" parameter specifies one or more | |
1070 | alternative non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. | |
1071 | non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. | |
1072 | ||
0f987978 CT |
1073 | -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl |
1074 | value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-' | |
1075 | is a valid domain name) | |
cccac0a2 | 1076 | |

1366 | # following three rules will have exactly the same effect as far | |
1367 | # as annotations set by the "mark" ACL are concerned: | |

1698 | On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields. |
1699 | If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow | |
1700 | match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value. | |

2042 | DOC_START | |
2043 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |
2044 | used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as | |
2045 | MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the | |
2046 | reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where | |
2047 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
2048 | for this reply. | |
2049 | ||
2050 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
2051 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
2052 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
2053 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
2054 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
2055 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
2056 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
2057 | ||
2058 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
2059 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
2060 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
2061 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
2062 | ||
2063 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
2064 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |
2065 | non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus | |
2066 | the size of your largest error page. | |
2067 | ||
2068 | If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be | |
2069 | no limit imposed. | |

2084 | Determines Squid behavior when encountering strange requests at the | |
56d089f3 CT |
2085 | beginning of an accepted TCP connection or the beginning of a bumped |
2086 | CONNECT tunnel. Controlling Squid reaction to unexpected traffic is | |
2087 | especially useful in interception environments where Squid is likely | |
2088 | to see connections for unsupported protocols that Squid should either | |
2089 | terminate or tunnel at TCP level. | |
3248e962 CT |
2090 | |
2091 | on_unsupported_protocol <action> [!]acl ... | |
2092 | ||
56d089f3 | 2093 | The first matching action wins. Only fast ACLs are supported. |
3248e962 CT |
2094 | |
2095 | Supported actions are: | |
2096 | ||
2097 | tunnel: Establish a TCP connection with the intended server and | |
2098 | blindly shovel TCP packets between the client and server. | |
2099 | ||
2100 | respond: Respond with an error message, using the transfer protocol | |
2101 | for the Squid port that received the request (e.g., HTTP | |
2102 | for connections intercepted at the http_port). This is the | |
2103 | default. | |
56d089f3 CT |
2104 | |
2105 | Squid expects the following traffic patterns: | |
2106 | ||
2107 | http_port: a plain HTTP request | |
2108 | https_port: SSL/TLS handshake followed by an [encrypted] HTTP request | |
2109 | ftp_port: a plain FTP command (no on_unsupported_protocol support yet!) | |
2110 | CONNECT tunnel on http_port: same as https_port | |
2111 | CONNECT tunnel on https_port: same as https_port | |
2112 | ||
9155253a | 2113 | Currently, this directive has effect on intercepted connections and |
56d089f3 CT |
2114 | bumped tunnels only. Other cases are not supported because Squid |
2115 | cannot know the intended destination of other traffic. | |
3248e962 CT |
2116 | |
2117 | For example: | |
2118 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving non-HTTP traffic: | |
2119 | acl foreignProtocol squid_error ERR_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN ERR_TOO_BIG | |
2120 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving nothing: | |
2121 | acl serverTalksFirstProtocol squid_error ERR_REQUEST_START_TIMEOUT | |
2122 | # tunnel everything that does not look like HTTP: | |
2123 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel foreignProtocol | |
2124 | # tunnel if we think the client waits for the server to talk first: | |
2125 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel serverTalksFirstProtocol | |
2126 | # in all other error cases, just send an HTTP "error page" response: | |

2141 | ||
2142 | auth_schemes scheme1,scheme2,... [!]aclname ... | |
2143 | ||
2144 | where schemeN is the name of one of the authentication schemes | |
2145 | configured using auth_param directives. At least one scheme name is | |
2146 | required. Multiple scheme names are separated by commas. Either | |
2147 | avoid whitespace or quote the entire schemes list. | |
2148 | ||
2149 | A special "ALL" scheme name expands to all auth_param-configured | |
2150 | schemes in their configuration order. This directive cannot be used | |
2151 | to configure Squid to offer no authentication schemes at all. | |
2152 | ||
2153 | The first matching auth_schemes rule determines the schemes order | |
2154 | for the current Authentication Required transaction. Note that the | |
2155 | future response is not yet available during auth_schemes evaluation. | |
2156 | ||
2157 | If this directive is not used or none of its rules match, then Squid | |
2158 | responds with all configured authentication schemes in the order of | |
2159 | auth_param directives in the configuration file. | |
2160 | ||
2161 | This directive does not determine when authentication is used or | |
2162 | how each authentication scheme authenticates clients. | |
2163 | ||
2164 | The following example sends basic and negotiate authentication | |
2165 | schemes, in that order, when requesting authentication of HTTP | |
2166 | requests matching the isIE ACL (not shown) while sending all | |
2167 | auth_param schemes in their configuration order to other clients: | |
2168 | ||
2169 | auth_schemes basic,negotiate isIE | |

2191 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
2192 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
2193 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
2194 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
2195 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
c7b1dd5d | 2196 | address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific |
5b0f5383 | 2197 | address, so you can use the port number alone. |

2499 | Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid |
2500 | listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various | |
2501 | ways to specify the listening address and mode. | |
2502 | ||
2503 | Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options] | |
2504 | ||
2505 | WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen | |
2506 | limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not | |
2507 | currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not | |
2508 | even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying! | |
2509 | ||
2510 | Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests | |
2511 | with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives | |
2512 | actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs). | |
2513 | ||
2514 | Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or | |
2515 | wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP | |
2516 | responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages | |
2517 | are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers | |
2518 | between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to | |
2519 | examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP | |
2520 | mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, | |
2521 | http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. | |
2522 | ||
2523 | Modes: | |
2524 | ||
3cc0f4e7 | 2525 | intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is |
8a2f40dd AR |
2526 | determined based on the intended destination of the |
2527 | intercepted connection. | |
2528 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2529 | tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing |
2530 | connections using the client IP address. | |
2531 | NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. | |
2532 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2533 | By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the |
2534 | FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER | |
2535 | command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying. | |
2536 | ||
2537 | Options: | |
2538 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2539 | name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to |
2540 | the port address. Usable with myportname ACL. | |

8a2f40dd AR |
2543 | Enables tracking of FTP directories by injecting extra |
2544 | PWD commands and adjusting Request-URI (in wrapping | |
2545 | HTTP requests) to reflect the current FTP server | |
aea65fec | 2546 | directory. Tracking is disabled by default. |
8a2f40dd | 2547 | |
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2548 | protocol=FTP Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted |
2549 | requests with. Defaults to FTP. No other accepted | |
2550 | values have been tested with. An unsupported value | |
2551 | results in a FATAL error. Accepted values are FTP, | |
2552 | HTTP (or HTTP/1.1), and HTTPS (or HTTPS/1.1). | |
2553 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2554 | Other http_port modes and options that are not specific to HTTP and |
2555 | HTTPS may also work. | |

2682 | The mark-value and mask are unsigned integers (hex, octal, or decimal). | |
2683 | The mask may be used to preserve marking previously set by other agents | |
2684 | (e.g., iptables). | |
2685 | ||
2686 | A matching rule replaces the CONNMARK value. If a mask is also | |
2687 | specified, then the masked bits of the original value are zeroed, and | |
2688 | the configured mark-value is ORed with that adjusted value. | |
2689 | For example, applying a mark-value 0xAB/0xF to 0x5F CONNMARK, results | |
2690 | in a 0xFB marking (rather than a 0xAB or 0x5B). | |

2836 | Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted |
2837 | traffic, Squid always verifies that the destination IP address matches | |
2962f8b8 | 2838 | the Host header domain or IP (called 'authority form URL'). |
d8821934 AR |
2839 | |
2840 | This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in | |
2841 | RFC 2616 section 14.23: "The Host field value MUST represent the naming | |
2842 | authority of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL". | |
2962f8b8 AJ |
2843 | |
2844 | When set to ON: | |
2845 | Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error | |
2846 | page and logs a security warning if there is no match. | |
2847 | ||
2848 | Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches | |
2849 | the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic | |
2850 | as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the | |
2851 | following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header | |
2852 | and Request-URI components: | |
2853 | ||
2854 | * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical, | |
2855 | but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks. | |
2856 | For the two host names to match, both must be either IP | |
2857 | or FQDN. | |
2858 | ||
2859 | * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing | |
2860 | the scheme-default port is assumed. | |
2861 | ||
2862 | ||
2863 | When set to OFF (the default): | |
2864 | Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a | |
2865 | security warning and blocks caching of the response. | |
2866 | ||
2867 | * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |
2868 | ||
2869 | * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all. | |
2870 | ||
2871 | * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled | |
32c32865 | 2872 | according to client_dst_passthru. |
2962f8b8 | 2873 | |
7177edfb AJ |
2874 | * Intercepted requests which fail verification are sent |
2875 | to the client original destination instead of DIRECT. | |
2876 | This overrides 'client_dst_passthru off'. | |
2962f8b8 AJ |
2877 | |
2878 | For now suspicious intercepted CONNECT requests are always | |
2879 | responded to with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error page. | |

bfe4e2fe AJ |
2883 | |
2884 | As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used | |
2885 | to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for | |
2886 | malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin | |
2887 | security policy and sandboxing protections. | |
2888 | ||
2889 | The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their | |
2890 | own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser | |
2891 | sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP | |
2892 | as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may | |
2893 | be different from the connected IP and approved origin. | |

2902 | With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request | |
2903 | directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster | |
2904 | source using the HTTP Host header. | |
2905 | ||
2906 | Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster | |
2907 | connectivity with a range of failure recovery options. | |
2908 | But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and | |
2909 | server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy. | |
2910 | ||
2911 | This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being | |
2912 | located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server. | |
2913 | The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead. | |
2914 | ||
2915 | Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted | |
2916 | traffic Squid will verify the Host: header and any traffic which | |
2917 | fails Host verification will be treated as if this option were ON. | |

3489 | ||
3490 | type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. | |
3491 | ||
3492 | proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests. | |
3493 | For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128 | |
3494 | For web servers this is usually 80 | |
3495 | ||
3496 | icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects. | |
3497 | Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP. | |
3498 | See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details. | |
3499 | ||
3500 | ||
3501 | ==== ICP OPTIONS ==== | |
3502 | ||
3503 | You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3504 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP. | |
3505 | ||
3506 | ||
3507 | no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor. | |
3508 | ||
3509 | multicast-responder | |
3510 | Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group. | |
3511 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
3512 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
3513 | ||
3514 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
3515 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
3516 | ||
3517 | background-ping | |
3518 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
3519 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
3520 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
3521 | ||
3522 | ||
3523 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
3524 | ||
3525 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
3526 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
3527 | ||
3528 | ||
3529 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
3530 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
18191440 AJ |
3531 | instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated |
3532 | list of options described below. | |
2b94f655 | 3533 | |
18191440 | 3534 | htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). |
2b94f655 | 3535 | |
18191440 | 3536 | htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
2b94f655 | 3537 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with |
18191440 | 3538 | only-clr. |
2b94f655 | 3539 | |
18191440 AJ |
3540 | htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. |
3541 | This cannot be used with no-clr. | |
2b94f655 | 3542 | |
18191440 | 3543 | htcp=no-purge-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3544 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when |
3545 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
3546 | ||
18191440 | 3547 | htcp=forward-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3548 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. |
3549 | ||
3550 | ||
3551 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
3552 | ||
3553 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
3554 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
3555 | ||
3556 | ||
3557 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
3558 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
3559 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
3560 | ||
3561 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3562 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
3563 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3564 | ||
3565 | weighted-round-robin | |
3566 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3567 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
3568 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
3569 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
3570 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3571 | ||
3572 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
3573 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
3574 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
3575 | ||
3576 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
3577 | ||
3578 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
8a368316 AJ |
3579 | |
3580 | multicast-siblings | |
3581 | To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". | |
3582 | ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" | |
2e9993e1 | 3583 | relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast |
8a368316 AJ |
3584 | group when the requested object would be fetched only from |
3585 | a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when | |
3586 | configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being | |
3587 | members of the same multicast group. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3588 | |
3589 | ||
3590 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
3591 | ||
3592 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
3593 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
3594 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
3595 | larger weights are favored more. | |
3596 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
3597 | protocol is not in use. | |
3598 | ||
3599 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
3600 | times of parents. | |
3601 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
3602 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
3603 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
3604 | ||
3c72389f AJ |
3605 | ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries |
3606 | to this address. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3607 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. |
3608 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
3609 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
3610 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
3611 | ||
3612 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
3613 | delay pools. | |
3614 | ||
3615 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
3616 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
3617 | than the Squid default location. | |
3618 | ||
3619 | ||
de03b596 FC |
3620 | ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== |
3621 | ||
3622 | carp-key=key-specification | |
3623 | use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. | |
3624 | the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords | |
3625 | scheme, host, port, path, params | |
3626 | Order is not important. | |
3627 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3628 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== |
3629 | ||
3630 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
3631 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
3632 | is a web server. | |
3633 | ||
3634 | forceddomain=name | |
3635 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
3636 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
3637 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
3638 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
3639 | ||
3640 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
3641 | ||
3642 | no-netdb-exchange | |

3647 | ||
3648 | login=user:password | |
3649 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3650 | requires proxy authentication. | |
3651 | ||
3652 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
3653 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
3654 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
3655 | login=PASSTHRU |
3656 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
3657 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
3658 | without alteration to the peer. | |
3659 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
3660 | ||
3661 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
3662 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
3663 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 3664 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3665 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
3666 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 3667 | |

3671 | they may be sent instead. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3672 | |
3673 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
3674 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
3675 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |
3676 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy | |
3677 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION | |
3678 | ||
3679 | login=*:password | |
3680 | Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a | |
3681 | fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer | |
3682 | is in another administrative domain, but it is still | |
3683 | needed to identify each user. | |
3684 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
3685 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
3686 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
3687 | the login=username:password option above. | |

3820 | ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== |
3821 | ||
3822 | connect-timeout=N | |
3823 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
3824 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
3825 | ||
3826 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
3827 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
e8dca475 CT |
3828 | it is marked as down. Standby connection failures |
3829 | count towards this limit. Default is 10. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3830 | |
3831 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
3832 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
a5bb0c26 AR |
3833 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use |
3834 | of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way | |
3835 | to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to | |
3836 | deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer: | |
3837 | acl fromPeer ... | |
3838 | cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer | |
2b94f655 | 3839 | |
e8dca475 CT |
3840 | max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid |
3841 | may open to this peer, including already opened idle | |
3842 | and standby connections. There is no peer-specific | |
3843 | connection limit by default. | |
3844 | ||
3845 | A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new | |
3846 | requests unless a standby connection is available. | |
3847 | ||
3848 | max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent | |
3849 | connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, | |
3850 | and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, | |
3851 | the peer may not be selected because the limiting code | |
3852 | does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle | |
3853 | connections. | |
3854 | ||
3855 | standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an | |
3856 | UP peer, available for requests when no idle | |
3857 | persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. | |
3858 | By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. | |
3859 | N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). | |
3860 | ||
3861 | At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP | |
3862 | standby connections until there are N connections | |
3863 | available and then replenishes the standby pool as | |
3864 | opened connections are used up for requests. A used | |
3865 | connection never goes back to the standby pool, but | |
3866 | may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool | |
3867 | shared by all peers and origin servers. | |
3868 | ||
3869 | Squid never opens multiple new standby connections | |
3870 | concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes | |
3871 | flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few | |
3872 | standby connections should be sufficient in most cases | |
3873 | to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use | |
3874 | connection. | |
3875 | ||
3876 | Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. | |
3877 | For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be | |
3878 | configured to accept and keep them open longer than | |
3879 | the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize | |
3880 | race conditions typical to idle used persistent | |
3881 | connections. Default request_timeout and | |
3882 | server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a | |
3883 | configuration. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3884 | |
3885 | name=xxx Unique name for the peer. | |
3886 | Required if you have multiple peers on the same host | |
3887 | but different ports. | |
3888 | This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar | |
a5bb0c26 | 3889 | directives to identify the peer. |
2b94f655 AJ |
3890 | Can be used by outgoing access controls through the |
3891 | peername ACL type. | |
3892 | ||
b0758e04 AJ |
3893 | no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding |
3894 | requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead. | |
0d901ef4 | 3895 | This overrides the spoof_client_ip ACL. |
b0758e04 | 3896 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3897 | proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally. |

a5bb0c26 AR |
3910 | cache_peer_access peer-name allow|deny [!]aclname ... |
3911 | ||
3912 | For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the | |
3913 | cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the | |
3914 | cache_peer hostname parameter. | |
3915 | ||
3916 | This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but | |
3917 | does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are | |
3918 | contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms | |
3919 | (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation). | |
3920 | ||
3921 | If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted | |
3922 | for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and | |
3923 | will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves | |
3924 | the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given | |
3925 | peer wins for that peer. | |
3926 | ||
3927 | The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3928 | matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives | |
3929 | for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a | |
3930 | good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3931 | together. | |
3932 | ||
3933 | A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times | |
3934 | for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms | |
3935 | may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks | |
3936 | may be optimized away in future Squid versions. | |
3937 | ||

3967 | LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer | |
3968 | DOC_START | |
3969 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |
3970 | as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this | |
3971 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
3972 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
3973 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
3974 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
699acd19 | 3975 | |
41bd17a4 | 3976 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP |
3977 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
3978 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
3979 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
3980 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |

41bd17a4 | 4012 | NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE. |
4013 | IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL | |
4014 | USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER | |
4015 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
4016 | ||
4017 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
4018 | for: | |
4019 | * In-Transit objects | |
4020 | * Hot Objects | |
4021 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
4022 | ||
4023 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
4024 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
4025 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
4026 | priority. | |
4027 | ||
4028 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
4029 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
4030 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
4031 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
4032 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
4033 | ||
4034 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
4035 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
4036 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
4037 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
4038 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
4039 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
4040 | objects. | |
29f35ca5 AR |
4041 | |
4042 | If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared | |
4043 | cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much | |
4044 | local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory | |
4045 | cache, see memory_cache_shared. | |

70f856bc AR |
4069 | The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace |
4070 | the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be | |
4071 | cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit | |
4072 | objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory | |
4073 | caching is enabled). | |
4074 | ||
65b81b27 | 4075 | By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the |
70f856bc AR |
4076 | following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with |
4077 | multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment | |
4078 | supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments | |
4079 | and GCC-style atomic operations). | |
4080 | ||
4081 | To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms | |
4082 | that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been | |
4083 | shared among SMP workers will actually be shared. | |

41bd17a4 | 4134 | The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects. |
0976f8db | 4135 | |
41bd17a4 | 4136 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
4137 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
4138 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
4139 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 4140 | |
41bd17a4 | 4141 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
4142 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
4143 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
4144 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 4145 | |

4219 | ==== The ufs store type ==== | |
0976f8db | 4220 | |
41bd17a4 | 4221 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
4222 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 4223 | |

4224 | Usage: |
4225 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
0976f8db | 4226 | |
41bd17a4 | 4227 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
4228 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
4229 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
4230 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
4231 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
0976f8db | 4232 | |
56fba4d0 | 4233 | 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 4234 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. |
0976f8db | 4235 | |
56fba4d0 | 4236 | 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 4237 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default |
4238 | is 256. | |

4241 | ==== The aufs store type ==== | |
7f7db318 | 4242 | |
41bd17a4 | 4243 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
4244 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
4245 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |
38f9c547 | 4246 | |

4253 | ==== The diskd store type ==== | |
38f9c547 | 4254 | |
41bd17a4 | 4255 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
4256 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
4257 | disk-I/O. | |

41bd17a4 | 4262 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 4263 | |
41bd17a4 | 4264 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
4265 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
4266 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 4267 | |
41bd17a4 | 4268 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
4269 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
4270 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 4271 | |
41bd17a4 | 4272 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
4273 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
4274 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
4275 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
4276 | time. | |

2e55f083 | 4284 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e51ce7da AR |
4285 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots. |
4286 | A single entry occupies one or more slots. | |
e2851fe7 | 4287 | |
3e1dfe3d AR |
4288 | If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid |
4289 | process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk | |
4290 | I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers | |
4291 | are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support | |
4292 | for the IpcIo disk I/O module. | |
4293 | ||
43ebbac3 AR |
4294 | swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or |
4295 | reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation | |
4296 | will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By | |
4297 | default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit | |
4298 | enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because | |
4299 | blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the | |
4300 | expected swap wait time. | |
4301 | ||
df881a0f | 4302 | max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using |
1e614370 | 4303 | the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that |
df881a0f | 4304 | would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are |
1e614370 DK |
4305 | delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are |
4306 | not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and | |
4307 | since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out | |
4308 | requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. | |
4309 | This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too | |
df881a0f AR |
4310 | many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes |
4311 | while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together | |
4312 | with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows | |
4313 | when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default | |
4314 | and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit | |
4315 | enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. | |
4316 | ||
e51ce7da AR |
4317 | slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for |
4318 | storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least | |
4319 | one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so | |
4320 | increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while | |
4321 | decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a | |
4322 | multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to | |
4323 | 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and | |
4324 | smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than | |
4325 | 100 bytes. | |

4360 | How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response |
4361 | object will fit into more than one. | |
4362 | ||
4363 | Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size | |
4364 | and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect | |
4365 | the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered | |
4366 | cache_dir. | |
4367 | ||
4368 | Algorithms: | |
4369 | ||
4370 | least-load | |
4371 | ||
4372 | This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir | |
4373 | sizes and disk speeds. | |
4374 | ||
4375 | The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. | |
4376 | When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking | |
4377 | the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. | |
4378 | ||
4379 | When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks | |
4380 | have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more | |
4381 | capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput | |
4382 | may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. | |
4383 | ||
4384 | ||
4385 | round-robin | |
4386 | ||
4387 | This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir | |
4388 | disk sizes. | |
4389 | ||
4390 | Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable | |
4391 | cache_dir is used. | |
4392 | ||
4393 | Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation | |
4394 | to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and | |
4395 | max-size parameters. | |
4396 | ||
4397 | Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow | |
4398 | disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any | |
4399 | I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. | |
4400 | ||
29a238a3 AR |
4401 | If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other |
4402 | limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such | |
4403 | cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias | |
4404 | towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave | |
4405 | cache_dir lines from different groups. For example: | |

4421 | LOC: Config.paranoid_hit_validation | |
4422 | DOC_START | |
4423 | Controls whether Squid should perform paranoid validation of cache entry | |
4424 | metadata integrity every time a cache entry is hit. This low-level | |
4425 | validation should always succeed. Each failed validation results in a | |
4426 | cache miss, a BUG line reported to cache.log, and the invalid entry | |
4427 | marked as unusable (and eventually purged from the cache). | |
4428 | ||
4429 | Squid can only validate shared cache memory and rock cache_dir entries. | |
4430 | ||
4431 | * Zero (default) value means that the validation is disabled. | |
4432 | ||
4433 | * Positive values enable validation: | |
4434 | - values less than 1 day approximate the maximum time that Squid is allowed | |
4435 | to spend validating a single cache hit. | |
4436 | - values greater or equal to 1 day are considered as no limitation: | |
4437 | in this case all checks will be performed, regardless of how much time | |
4438 | they take. | |
4439 | ||
4440 | Hits are usually stored using 16KB slots (for rock, the size is | |
4441 | configurable via cache_dir slot-size). Larger hits require scanning more | |
4442 | slots and, hence, take more time. When validation is enabled, at least one | |
4443 | slot is always validated, regardless of the configured time limit. | |
4444 | ||
4445 | A worker process validating an entry cannot do anything else (i.e. the | |
4446 | validation is blocking). The validation overhead is environment dependent, | |
4447 | but developers have observed Squid spending 3-10 microseconds to check each | |
4448 | slot of a Rock or shared memory hit entry. If Squid cuts validation short | |
4449 | because it runs out of configured time, it treats the entry as valid. | |
4450 | ||
4451 | When hit validation is enabled, its statistics is included in Cache | |
4452 | Manager mgr:counters, mgr:5min, and mgr:60min reports. | |

4657 | >handshake Raw client handshake |
4658 | Initial client bytes received by Squid on a newly | |
4659 | accepted TCP connection or inside a just established | |
4660 | CONNECT tunnel. Squid stops accumulating handshake | |
4661 | bytes as soon as the handshake parser succeeds or | |
4662 | fails (determining whether the client is using the | |
4663 | expected protocol). | |
4664 | ||
4665 | For HTTP clients, the handshake is the request line. | |
4666 | For TLS clients, the handshake consists of all TLS | |
4667 | records up to and including the TLS record that | |
4668 | contains the last byte of the first ClientHello | |
4669 | message. For clients using an unsupported protocol, | |
4670 | this field contains the bytes received by Squid at the | |
4671 | time of the handshake parsing failure. | |
4672 | ||
4673 | See the on_unsupported_protocol directive for more | |
4674 | information on Squid handshake traffic expectations. | |
4675 | ||
4676 | Current support is limited to these contexts: | |
4677 | - http_port connections, but only when the | |
4678 | on_unsupported_protocol directive is in use. | |
4679 | - https_port connections (and CONNECT tunnels) that | |
4680 | are subject to the ssl_bump peek or stare action. | |
4681 | ||
4682 | To protect binary handshake data, this field is always | |
4683 | base64-encoded (RFC 4648 Section 4). If logformat | |
4684 | field encoding is configured, that encoding is applied | |
4685 | on top of base64. Otherwise, the computed base64 value | |
4686 | is recorded as is. | |

4702 | the transaction is received from the client. This is | |
4703 | the same value that Squid uses to calculate transaction | |
4704 | response time when logging %tr to access.log. Currently, | |
4705 | Squid uses millisecond resolution for %tS values, | |
4706 | similar to the default access.log "current time" field | |

4949 | ||
4950 | icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP | |

4952 | ACLs are checked and when ICAP | |
4953 | transaction is in progress. | |
4954 | ||
c28b9a0e | 4955 | If adaptation is enabled the following codes become available: |
3ff65596 | 4956 | |
5038f9d8 AR |
4957 | adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or |
4958 | meta-information from the last eCAP | |
4959 | transaction related to the HTTP transaction. | |
4960 | Like <h, accepts an optional header name | |
4961 | argument. | |
3ff65596 AR |
4962 | |
4963 | adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response | |
4964 | times recorded as a comma-separated list in | |
4965 | the order of transaction start time. Each time | |
4966 | value is recorded as an integer number, | |
4967 | representing response time of one or more | |
4968 | adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in | |
4969 | milliseconds. When a failed transaction is | |
4970 | being retried or repeated, its time is not | |
4971 | logged individually but added to the | |
4972 | replacement (next) transaction. See also: | |
4973 | adapt::all_trs. | |
4974 | ||
4975 | adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times. | |
4976 | Same as adaptation_strs but response times of | |
4977 | individual transactions are never added | |
4978 | together. Instead, all transaction response | |
4979 | times are recorded individually. | |
4980 | ||
4981 | You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation | |
4982 | service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific | |
4983 | to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs | |

4985 | Format codes related to the PROXY protocol: |
4986 | ||
4987 | proxy_protocol::>h PROXY protocol header, including optional TLVs. | |
4988 | ||
4989 | Supports the same field and element reporting/extraction logic | |
4990 | as %http::>h. For configuration and reporting purposes, Squid | |
4991 | maps each PROXY TLV to an HTTP header field: the TLV type | |
4992 | (configured as a decimal integer) is the field name, and the | |
4993 | TLV value is the field value. All TLVs of "LOCAL" connections | |
4994 | (in PROXY protocol terminology) are currently skipped/ignored. | |
4995 | ||
4996 | Squid also maps the following standard PROXY protocol header | |
4997 | blocks to pseudo HTTP headers (their names use PROXY | |
4998 | terminology and start with a colon, following HTTP tradition | |
4999 | for pseudo headers): :command, :version, :src_addr, :dst_addr, | |
5000 | :src_port, and :dst_port. | |
5001 | ||
5002 | Without optional parameters, this logformat code logs | |
5003 | pseudo headers and TLVs. | |
5004 | ||
5005 | This format code uses pass-through URL encoding by default. | |
5006 | ||
5007 | Example: | |
5008 | # relay custom PROXY TLV #224 to adaptation services | |
5009 | adaptation_meta Client-Foo "%proxy_protocol::>h{224}" | |

5035 | Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions. |
5036 | If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every | |
5037 | matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are: | |
5038 | ||
5039 | access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...] | |
5040 | access_log none [acl acl ...] | |
5041 | ||
5042 | The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated: | |
82b7abe3 | 5043 | access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] |
fb0c2f17 NH |
5044 | |
5045 | In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character | |
5046 | and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always | |
5047 | start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions. | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
5048 | |
5049 | Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which | |
41bd17a4 | 5050 | must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match |
5051 | ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses). | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
5052 | If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination. |
5053 | ||
fb0c2f17 NH |
5054 | ===== Available options for the recommended directive format ===== |
5055 | ||
5056 | logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or | |
5057 | defined by a logformat directive). Defaults | |
5058 | to 'squid'. | |
5059 | ||
5060 | buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log | |
5061 | records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not | |
5062 | keep more than the specified size and, hence, | |
5063 | should flush records before the buffer becomes | |
5064 | full to avoid overflows under normal | |
5065 | conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is | |
5066 | module-dependent though). The on-error option | |
5067 | controls overflow handling. | |
5068 | ||
5069 | on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The | |
5070 | 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log) | |
5071 | affected log records. The default 'die' action | |
5072 | kills the affected worker. The drop action | |
5073 | support has not been tested for modules other | |
5074 | than tcp. | |
5075 | ||
efc23871 AJ |
5076 | rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to |
5077 | make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default | |
5078 | is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting | |
5079 | rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation, | |
5080 | but the log files are still closed and re-opened. | |
5081 | This will enable you to rename the logfiles | |
5082 | yourself just before sending the rotate signal. | |
5083 | Only supported by the stdio module. | |
5084 | ||
82b7abe3 AJ |
5085 | ===== Modules Currently available ===== |
5086 | ||
bb7a1781 | 5087 | none Do not log any requests matching these ACL. |
82b7abe3 AJ |
5088 | Do not specify Place or logformat name. |
5089 | ||
5090 | stdio Write each log line to disk immediately at the completion of | |
5091 | each request. | |
5092 | Place: the filename and path to be written. | |
5093 | ||
5094 | daemon Very similar to stdio. But instead of writing to disk the log | |
5095 | line is passed to a daemon helper for asychronous handling instead. | |
5096 | Place: varies depending on the daemon. | |
5097 | ||
5098 | log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written. | |
5099 | ||
5100 | syslog To log each request via syslog facility. | |
5101 | Place: The syslog facility and priority level for these entries. | |

82b7abe3 AJ |
5107 | And priority could be any of: |
5108 | err, warning, notice, info, debug. | |
5109 | ||

5129 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
5130 | transaction. | |
5131 | ||
5132 | The icap_log option format is: | |
5133 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
5134 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
5135 | ||
5136 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
5137 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
5138 | features. | |
5139 | ||
5140 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
5141 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
5142 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
5143 | log line. | |
5144 | ||
bd59d61c EB |
5145 | ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context, |
5146 | HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded | |
5147 | in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP | |
5148 | messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used | |
5149 | for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example: | |
5150 | ||
5151 | http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to | |
5152 | the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are | |
5153 | HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP | |
5154 | response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them | |
5155 | (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD). | |
5156 | ||
5157 | http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP | |
5158 | service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular | |
5159 | REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during | |
5160 | request satisfaction in REQMOD). | |
5161 | ||
5162 | ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages. | |
5163 | ||
5164 | Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP | |
5165 | message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message | |
5166 | (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When | |
5167 | computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid | |
5168 | either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see | |
5169 | code-specific documentation for details. | |
5170 | ||
5171 | For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently | |
5172 | computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not | |
5173 | in use at all. | |
3ff65596 AR |
5174 | |
5175 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
5176 | ||
5177 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
5178 | ||
5179 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
5180 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
5181 | ||
5182 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
5183 | ||
5184 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
5185 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
5186 | ||
bd59d61c EB |
5187 | icap::>st The total size of the ICAP request sent to the ICAP |
5188 | server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including chunking | |
5189 | metadata (if any). | |
3ff65596 | 5190 | |
bd59d61c EB |
5191 | icap::<st The total size of the ICAP response received from the |
5192 | ICAP server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including | |
5193 | chunking metadata (if any). | |
3ff65596 | 5194 | |
bd59d61c EB |
5195 | icap::<bs The size of the ICAP response body received from the |
5196 | ICAP server, excluding chunking metadata (if any). | |
bae917ac | 5197 | |
3ff65596 AR |
5198 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in |
5199 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
5200 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
5201 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
5202 | Similar to tr. | |
5203 | ||
5204 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
5205 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
5206 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
5207 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
5208 | is received. | |
5209 | ||
5210 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
5211 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
5212 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
5213 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
5214 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
5215 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |

6647 | causes. | |
0976f8db | 6648 | |
41bd17a4 | 6649 | This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the |
6650 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3b07476b CT |
6651 | more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows |
6652 | removal of specific header fields under specific conditions. | |
6653 | ||
6654 | This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e., | |
6655 | headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer | |
6656 | or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit | |
6657 | detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP | |
6658 | terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
6659 | ||
6660 | The option is applied to individual outgoing request header | |
6661 | fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first | |
6662 | qualifying sets of request_header_access rules: | |
6663 | ||
6664 | 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name. | |
6665 | 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not | |
6666 | on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names. | |
6667 | 3. Rules with header_name 'All'. | |
6668 | ||
6669 | Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual. | |
6670 | If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to | |
6671 | go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is | |
6672 | removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify | |
6673 | if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the | |
6674 | set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is. | |

6920 | This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed | |
6921 | forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look | |
6922 | cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded | |
6923 | individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable | |
6924 | content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly | |
6925 | cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the | |
6926 | gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh | |
6927 | requests] outweigh losses from such delays. | |
6928 | ||
6929 | Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests | |
6930 | received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache | |
6931 | revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular | |
6932 | requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing | |
6933 | is currently disabled for Squid instances containing SMP-aware | |
6934 | disk or memory caches and for Vary-controlled cached objects. | |

6973 | This directive limits the size of a table used for sharing current |
6974 | transaction information among SMP workers. A table entry stores meta | |
6975 | information about a single cache entry being delivered to Squid | |
6976 | client(s) by one or more SMP workers. A single table entry consumes | |
6977 | less than 128 shared memory bytes. | |
8f7dbf74 | 6978 | |
daed75a9 EB |
6979 | The limit should be significantly larger than the number of |
6980 | concurrent non-collapsed cachable responses leaving Squid. For a | |
6981 | cache that handles less than 5000 concurrent requests, the default | |
8f7dbf74 DD |
6982 | setting of 16384 should be plenty. |
6983 | ||
daed75a9 EB |
6984 | Using excessively large values wastes shared memory. Limiting the |
6985 | table size too much results in hash collisions, leading to lower hit | |
6986 | ratio and missed SMP request collapsing opportunities: Transactions | |
6987 | left without a table entry cannot cache their responses and are | |
6988 | invisible to other concurrent requests for the same resource. | |
6989 | ||
6990 | A zero limit is allowed but unsupported. A positive small limit | |
6991 | lowers hit ratio, but zero limit disables a lot of essential | |
6992 | synchronization among SMP workers, leading to HTTP violations (e.g., | |
6993 | stale hit responses). It also disables shared collapsed forwarding: | |
6994 | A worker becomes unable to collapse its requests on transactions in | |
6995 | other workers, resulting in more trips to the origin server and more | |
6996 | cache thrashing. | |

7469 | This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one | |
7470 | delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two | |

7485 | ||
7486 | class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |

b1fb3348 | 7488 | from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address. |
9edd9041 | 7489 | |
7490 | class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate | |
7491 | bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen | |
7492 | from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a | |

b1fb3348 | 7494 | 32 of the IPv4 address. |
9edd9041 | 7495 | |
7496 | class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an | |
7497 | additional limit on a per user basis. This | |
7498 | only takes effect if the username is established | |
7499 | in advance - by forcing authentication in your | |
7500 | http_access rules. | |

7503 | external_acl's tag= reply). | |
7504 | ||
0b68481a AJ |

7506 | Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size | |
7507 | and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with | |
7508 | a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used. | |
7509 | ||

7557 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
7558 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
0b68481a | 7559 | description of delay_class. |
9edd9041 | 7560 | |
0b68481a | 7561 | For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: |
6e7502cc | 7562 | delay_class pool 1 |
0b68481a | 7563 | delay_parameters pool aggregate |
9edd9041 | 7564 | |
7565 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7566 | delay_class pool 2 |
0b68481a | 7567 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual |
9edd9041 | 7568 | |
7569 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7570 | delay_class pool 3 |
0b68481a | 7571 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual |
9edd9041 | 7572 | |
7573 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7574 | delay_class pool 4 |
0b68481a | 7575 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user |
9edd9041 | 7576 | |
7577 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 7578 | delay_class pool 5 |
0b68481a | 7579 | delay_parameters pool tagrate |
9edd9041 | 7580 | |
0b68481a | 7581 | The option variables are: |
9edd9041 | 7582 | |
7583 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
7584 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
7585 | delay_class lines. | |
7586 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7587 | aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket |
9edd9041 | 7588 | (class 1, 2, 3). |
7589 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7590 | individual the speed limit parameters for the individual |
9edd9041 | 7591 | buckets (class 2, 3). |
7592 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7593 | network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets |
9edd9041 | 7594 | (class 3). |
7595 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7596 | user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets |
9edd9041 | 7597 | (class 4). |
7598 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 7599 | tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets |
9edd9041 | 7600 | (class 5). |
7601 | ||
7602 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
7603 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
7604 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
7605 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
7606 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
7607 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
7608 | ||
7609 | ||
9edd9041 | 7610 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |
0b68481a | 7611 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec |
9edd9041 | 7612 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |
7613 | ||
6e7502cc | 7614 | delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000 |
0b68481a | 7615 | |
c3e31a3a | 7616 | Note that 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. |
9edd9041 | 7617 | |
6e7502cc | 7618 | Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit. |
9edd9041 | 7619 | |
0b68481a | 7620 | |
9edd9041 | 7621 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
7622 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit) |
7623 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each | |
7624 | individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits | |
9edd9041 | 7625 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed |
7626 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
7627 | large downloads more significantly: | |
7628 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
7629 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 |
7630 | ||
c3e31a3a AJ |
7631 | Note that 8 x 32K Byte/sec -> 256K bit/sec. |
7632 | 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. | |
7633 | 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800 bit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 7634 | |
9edd9041 | 7635 | |
7636 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
0b68481a | 7637 | be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: |
9edd9041 | 7638 | |
0b68481a | 7639 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 |

7956 | WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two | |

7959 | 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id | |
7960 | one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done | |
7961 | using the wccp2_service_info option. | |

8611 | (default on setting), or if nothing special should be done for | |

5473c134 | 8738 | |
8739 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |
8740 | do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last | |
8741 | acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists | |
8742 | for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page. | |
8743 | ||
8744 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
8745 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
8746 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
8747 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
8748 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
8749 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |
3af10ac0 AR |
8750 | - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service, |
8751 | the acl name is the corresponding eCAP or ICAP service_name. | |

43000484 AJ |
8753 | NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory |

5473c134 | 8756 | |
aed9a15b AJ |
8757 | By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx |
8758 | may be specified by prefixing the file name with the code and a colon. | |
8759 | e.g. 404:ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED | |
8760 | ||
5473c134 | 8761 | Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection |
8762 | by specifying TCP_RESET. | |
15b02e9a AJ |

e72a0ec0 | 8807 | |

0b0cfcf2 | 8810 | |
5473c134 | 8811 | Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only |

8813 | ratio. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8814 | |
638402dd AJ |
8815 | This option only sets a preference. If the parent is unavailable a |

8824 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 8825 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |

5473c134 | 8829 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
8830 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
8831 | fails. | |
8832 | ||
8833 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
8834 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |

8844 | RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent |
8845 | response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network. | |
8846 | If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs | |
8847 | it can prevent new cache entries being created. | |
8848 | ||
8849 | This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the | |
8850 | client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new | |
8851 | content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly | |
8852 | empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating | |
8853 | non-conditional GETs. | |
96598f93 AJ |
8854 | |
8855 | When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
8856 | to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable |
8857 | payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created. | |
96598f93 AJ |
8858 | |
8859 | When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will | |
8860 | remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
8861 | the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response |
8862 | from the server to create a new cache entry with. | |

0b0cfcf2 | 8872 | |
5473c134 | 8873 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
8874 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
8875 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
8876 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
8877 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8878 | |
5473c134 | 8879 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
8880 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 8881 | |
5473c134 | 8882 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 8883 | |
5473c134 | 8884 | acl FTP proto FTP |
8885 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 8886 | |
5473c134 | 8887 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
8888 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
8889 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
8890 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
8891 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 8892 | |
5473c134 | 8893 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
8894 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
8895 | always_direct deny local-external | |
8896 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 8897 | |
5473c134 | 8898 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
8899 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
8900 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
8901 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 8902 | |
5473c134 | 8903 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
8904 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |

8921 | ||
8922 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
8923 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
8924 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
8925 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
8926 | ||
8927 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 8928 | never_direct deny local-servers |
8929 | never_direct allow all | |

8931 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
8932 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |
8933 | ||

9124 | The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates | |

8277060a | 9128 | OPTIONS. |
5473c134 | 9129 | |

8277060a CT |
9133 | |
9134 | Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified | |
9135 | value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm | |
9136 | is approximate because Squid does not remember individual | |
9137 | errors but groups them instead, splitting the option | |
9138 | value into ten time slots of equal length. | |
9139 | ||
9140 | When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no | |
9141 | effect on service failure expiration. | |

1b091aec CT |
9313 | icaps://servername:port/servicepath |
9314 | The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and | |
9315 | service location (default port is 1344, connections are not | |
9316 | encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP | |
9317 | services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by | |
9318 | default, on port 11344). | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9319 | |
9320 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
9321 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
9322 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
9323 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
9324 | service_names differ. | |
9325 | ||
3caa16d2 AR |
9326 | To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group |
9327 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9328 | |
9329 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
9330 | the following name=value options: | |
9331 | ||
9332 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
9333 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
9334 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
9335 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
9336 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
9337 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
9338 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
9339 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
9340 | ||
9341 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
9342 | ||
9343 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
9344 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to | |
9345 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
9346 | returning a chain of services to be used next. The services | |
9347 | are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header | |
9348 | value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names. | |
e2851fe7 AR |
9349 | Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other |
9350 | services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results | |
9351 | in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation. | |
9352 | ||
9353 | Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported | |
9354 | vectoring points in their natural processing order. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9355 | |
9356 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
9357 | response header is ignored. | |
9358 | ||
e6713f4e AJ |
9359 | ipv6=on|off |
9360 | Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems | |
9361 | is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will | |
9362 | make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service. | |
9363 | ||
2dba5b8e CT |
9364 | on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force |
9365 | If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do | |
9366 | one of the following for each new ICAP transaction: | |
9367 | * block: send an HTTP error response to the client | |
9368 | * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service | |
9369 | * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot | |
9370 | * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit | |
9371 | ||
9372 | In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service | |
9373 | connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all | |
9374 | workers may use a given service. | |
9375 | ||
9376 | The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable, | |
9377 | otherwise it is set to "wait". | |
9378 | ||
9379 | ||
9380 | max-conn=number | |
9381 | Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless | |
9382 | of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any. | |
9383 | ||
88df846b CT |
9384 | connection-encryption=on|off |
9385 | Determines the ICAP service effect on the connections_encrypted | |

9622 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |

62c7f90e | 9624 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
9625 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
9626 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
9627 | ||
9628 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
9629 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
9630 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
9631 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
9632 | transaction fails as well. | |
9633 | ||
9634 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
9635 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
9636 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |

9665 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
9666 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |

9668 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
9669 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |

9674 | ||
9675 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
9676 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |

9750 | For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response | |

9757 | from and forward to the adaptation transactions. | |

9786 | Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other | |

9788 | ||
9789 | The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven: | |
9790 | adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ... | |
9791 | ||
9792 | Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match. | |
9793 | Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL | |
9794 | lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For | |
9795 | example: | |
9796 | ||
9797 | # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging | |
9798 | adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging | |

9803 | # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group | |
9804 | adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1 | |
9805 | ||
9806 | The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double | |
9807 | quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape | |

9908 | ||
9909 | For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which | |
9910 | is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to | |
9911 | negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having | |
9912 | to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit | |
9913 | will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS. | |
9914 | ||
9915 | Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes | |
9916 | over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not | |
9917 | necessary. | |
9918 | ||
9919 | WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply | |
9920 | with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some | |
9921 | resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled | |
9922 | EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram | |
9923 | sizes being advertised by Squid. | |
9924 | Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain | |
9925 | even if it would be resolvable without EDNS. | |

10507 | adaptation environments. | |
10508 | ||
10509 | When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue" | |
10510 | header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the | |
10511 | request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or | |
10512 | peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some | |
10513 | broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may | |
10514 | decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However, | |
10515 | that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not | |
10516 | responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message | |
10517 | to the request sender yet! | |
10518 | ||
10519 | An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 | |
10520 | (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the | |
10521 | request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces | |
10522 | the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells | |
10523 | Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms | |
10524 | that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior. | |

10532 | DOC_START | |
10533 | This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection | |
10534 | reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful | |
10535 | in environments where opening new connections is very expensive | |
10536 | (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server | |
10537 | certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent | |
10538 | connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems. | |
10539 | ||
10540 | HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST). | |
10541 | Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT). | |
10542 | By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new | |
10543 | connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent | |
10544 | connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable | |
10545 | request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes | |
10546 | the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response | |
10547 | from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway) | |
10548 | with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail. | |
10549 | ||
10550 | If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection | |
10551 | (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then | |
10552 | Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry. | |
10553 | ||
10554 | This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle | |

10570 | DOC_START | |
10571 | This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the minimum | |
10572 | delay between opening a primary to-server connection and opening a | |
10573 | spare to-server connection for the same master transaction. This delay | |
10574 | is similar to the Connection Attempt Delay in RFC 8305, but it is only | |
10575 | applied to the first spare connection attempt. Subsequent spare | |
10576 | connection attempts use happy_eyeballs_connect_gap, and primary | |
10577 | connection attempts are not artificially delayed at all. | |
10578 | ||
10579 | Terminology: The "primary" and "spare" designations are determined by | |
10580 | the order of DNS answers received by Squid: If Squid DNS AAAA query | |
10581 | was answered first, then primary connections are connections to IPv6 | |
10582 | peer addresses (while spare connections use IPv4 addresses). | |
10583 | Similarly, if Squid DNS A query was answered first, then primary | |
10584 | connections are connections to IPv4 peer addresses (while spare | |
10585 | connections use IPv6 addresses). | |
10586 | ||
10587 | Shorter happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values reduce master | |
10588 | transaction response time, potentially improving user-perceived | |
10589 | response times (i.e., making user eyeballs happier). Longer delays | |
10590 | reduce both concurrent connection level and server bombardment with | |
10591 | connection requests, potentially improving overall Squid performance | |
10592 | and reducing the chance of being blocked by servers for opening too | |
10593 | many unused connections. | |
10594 | ||
10595 | RFC 8305 prohibits happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values smaller than | |
10596 | 10 (milliseconds) to "avoid congestion collapse in the presence of | |
10597 | high packet-loss rates". | |
10598 | ||
10599 | The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection | |
10600 | opening restrictions: happy_eyeballs_connect_gap and | |
10601 | happy_eyeballs_connect_limit. | |

10611 | This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the | |
10612 | minimum delay between opening spare to-server connections (to any | |
10613 | server; i.e. across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid | |
10614 | instance). Each SMP worker currently multiplies the configured gap | |
10615 | by the total number of workers so that the combined spare connection | |
10616 | opening rate of a Squid instance obeys the configured limit. The | |
10617 | workers do not coordinate connection openings yet; a micro burst | |
10618 | of spare connection openings may violate the configured gap. | |
10619 | ||
10620 | This directive has similar trade-offs as | |
10621 | happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout, but its focus is on limiting traffic | |
10622 | amplification effects for Squid as a whole, while | |

10631 | NAME: happy_eyeballs_connect_limit | |
10632 | TYPE: int | |
10633 | DEFAULT: -1 | |
10634 | DEFAULT_DOC: no artificial limit on the number of concurrent spare attempts | |
10635 | LOC: Config.happyEyeballs.connect_limit | |
10636 | DOC_START | |
10637 | This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the | |
10638 | maximum number of spare to-server connections (to any server; i.e. | |
10639 | across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid instance). | |
10640 | Each SMP worker gets an equal share of the total limit. However, | |
10641 | the workers do not share the actual connection counts yet, so one | |
10642 | (busier) worker cannot "borrow" spare connection slots from another | |
10643 | (less loaded) worker. | |
10644 | ||
10645 | Setting this limit to zero disables concurrent use of primary and | |
10646 | spare TCP connections: Spare connection attempts are made only after | |
10647 | all primary attempts fail. However, Squid would still use the | |
10648 | DNS-related optimizations of the Happy Eyeballs approach. | |
10649 | ||
10650 | This directive has similar trade-offs as happy_eyeballs_connect_gap, | |
10651 | but its focus is on limiting Squid overheads, while | |
10652 | happy_eyeballs_connect_gap focuses on the origin server and peer | |
10653 | overheads. | |

10655 | The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection | |
10656 | opening restrictions: happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout and | |
10657 | happy_eyeballs_connect_gap. See the former for related terminology. | |
