COMMENT_START
	WELCOME TO SQUID 2
	------------------

	This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
	to look at the Squid home page (http://squid.nlanr.net/)
	for the FAQ and other documentation.

	The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
	various options happen to be.  If you don't need to change the
	default, you shouldn't uncomment the line.  Doing so may cause
	run-time problems.  In some cases "none" refers to no default
	setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
	option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
	case.

NAME: http_port ascii_port
TYPE: sockaddr_in_list
DEFAULT: none
DEFAULT_IF_NONE: 3128
LOC: Config.Sockaddr.http
DOC_START
	Usage:	port
		hostname:port
		1.2.3.4:port

	The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
	requests.  You may specify multiple socket addresses.
	There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
	IP address with port.  If you specify a hostname or IP
	address, then Squid binds the socket to that specific
	address.  This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
	option.  Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
	address, so you can use the port number alone.

	The default port number is 3128.

	If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, then you
	probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.

	The -a command line option will override the *first* port
	number listed here.   That option will NOT override an IP
	address, however.

	You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.
DOC_END


NAME: icp_port udp_port
TYPE: ushort
DEFAULT: 3130
LOC: Config.Port.icp
DOC_START
	The port number where Squid sends and receives ICP queries to
	and from neighbor caches.  Default is 3130.  To disable use
	"0".  May be overridden with -u on the command line.
DOC_END

NAME: htcp_port
IFDEF: USE_HTCP
TYPE: ushort
DEFAULT: 4827
LOC: Config.Port.htcp
DOC_START
	The port number where Squid sends and receives HTCP queries to
	and from neighbor caches.  Default is 4827.  To disable use
	"0".

	To enable this option, you must use --enable-htcp with the
	configure script.
DOC_END


NAME: mcast_groups
TYPE: wordlist
LOC: Config.mcast_group_list
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
	This tag specifies a list of multicast groups which your server
	should join to receive multicasted ICP queries.

	NOTE!  Be very careful what you put here!  Be sure you
	understand the difference between an ICP _query_ and an ICP
	_reply_.  This option is to be set only if you want to RECEIVE
	multicast queries.  Do NOT set this option to SEND multicast
	ICP (use cache_peer for that).  ICP replies are always sent via
	unicast, so this option does not affect whether or not you will
	receive replies from multicast group members.

	You must be very careful to NOT use a multicast address which
	is already in use by another group of caches.

	If you are unsure about multicast, please read the Multicast
	chapter in the Squid FAQ (http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/FAQ/).

	Usage: mcast_groups 239.128.16.128 224.0.1.20

	By default, Squid doesn't listen on any multicast groups.

DOC_NONE

NAME: udp_outgoing_address
TYPE: address
LOC: Config.Addrs.udp_outgoing
DEFAULT: 255.255.255.255
DOC_START
	Usage: tcp_incoming_address 10.20.30.40
	       udp_outgoing_address fully.qualified.domain.name

	tcp_outgoing_address	is used for connections made to remote
				servers and other caches.
	udp_incoming_address	is used for the ICP socket receiving packets
				from other caches.
	udp_outgoing_address	is used for ICP packets sent out to other
				caches.

	The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address.

	A *_incoming_address value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that Squid should
	listen on all available interfaces.

	If udp_outgoing_address is set to 255.255.255.255 (the default)
	then it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address. Only
	change this if you want to have ICP queries sent using another
	address than where this Squid listens for ICP queries from other
	caches.

	NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not
	have the same value since they both use port 3130.

	NOTE, tcp_incoming_address has been removed.  You can now
	specify IP addresses on the 'http_port' line.

 OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE NEIGHBOR SELECTION ALGORITHM
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT_END

NAME: cache_peer
TYPE: peer
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.peers
DOC_START
	To specify other caches in a hierarchy, use the format:

		cache_peer hostname type http_port icp_port

	For example,

	#                                        proxy  icp
	#          hostname             type     port   port  options
	#          -------------------- -------- ----- -----  -----------
	cache_peer parent.foo.net       parent    3128  3130  [proxy-only]
	cache_peer sib1.foo.net         sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]
	cache_peer sib2.foo.net         sibling   3128  3130  [proxy-only]

	      type:  either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.

	proxy_port:  The port number where the cache listens for proxy
		     requests.

	  icp_port:  Used for querying neighbor caches about
		     objects.  To have a non-ICP neighbor
		     specify '7' for the ICP port and make sure the
		     neighbor machine has the UDP echo port
		     enabled in its /etc/inetd.conf file.

	    options: proxy-only
		     weight=n
		     ttl=n
		     no-query
		     default
		     round-robin
		     multicast-responder
		     closest-only
		     no-digest
		     no-netdb-exchange
		     no-delay
		     login=user:password
		     connect-timeout=nn
		     digest-url=url
		     allow-miss

		     use 'proxy-only' to specify that objects fetched
		     from this cache should not be saved locally.

		     use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent.
		     The weight must be an integer.  The default weight
		     is 1, larger weights are favored more.

		     use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
		     when sending an ICP queries to this address.
		     Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
		     Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
		     hosts, you must configure other group members as
		     peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.

		     use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
		     neighbor.

		     use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
		     be used as a "last-resort." You should probably
		     only use 'default' in situations where you cannot
		     use ICP with your parent cache(s).

		     use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
		     should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
		     absence of any ICP queries.

		     'multicast-responder' indicates that the named peer
		     is a member of a multicast group.  ICP queries will
		     not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
		     will be accepted from it.

		     'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
		     replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
		     and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.

		     use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
		     this neighbor.

		     'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
		     RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.

		     use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
		     from influencing the delay pools.

		     use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
		     proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.

		     use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
		     specific connect timeout (also see the
		     peer_connect_timeout directive)

		     use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
		     digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
		     the specified URL rather than the Squid default
		     location.

		     use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
		     when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
		     useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
		     extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
		     loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
		     with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
		     requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
		     source is a peer)

	NOTE: non-ICP neighbors must be specified as 'parent'.
DOC_END

NAME: cache_peer_domain cache_host_domain
TYPE: hostdomain
DEFAULT: none
LOC: none
DOC_START
	Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be
	queried.  Usage:

	cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
	cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain

	For example, specifying

		cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net	.edu

	has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
	'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
	server in the .edu domain.  Prefixing the domainname
	with '!' means that the cache will be queried for objects
	NOT in that domain.

	NOTE:	* Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
		  either on the same or separate lines.
		* When multiple domains are given for a particular
		  cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
		* Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
		  for all requests.
		* There are no defaults.
		* There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL
		  section.

NAME: neighbor_type_domain
TYPE: hostdomaintype
DEFAULT: none
LOC: none
DOC_START
	usage: neighbor_type_domain parent|sibling domain domain ...

	Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now
	possible.  You can treat some domains differently than the the
	default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
	Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
	should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
	applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.

EXAMPLE:
	cache_peer  parent cache.foo.org 3128 3130
	neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .com .net
	neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .au .de

NAME: icp_query_timeout
COMMENT: (msec)
DEFAULT: 0
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.Timeout.icp_query
DOC_START
	Normally Squid will automatically determine an optimal ICP
	query timeout value based on the round-trip-time of recent ICP
	queries.  If you want to override the value determined by
	Squid, set this 'icp_query_timeout' to a non-zero value.  This
	value is specified in MILLISECONDS, so, to use a 2-second
	timeout (the old default), you would write:

		icp_query_timeout 2000
DOC_END

NAME: maximum_icp_query_timeout
COMMENT: (msec)
DEFAULT: 2000
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.Timeout.icp_query_max
DOC_START
	Normally the ICP query timeout is determined dynamically.  But
	sometimes it can lead to very large values (say 5 seconds).
	Use this option to put an upper limit on the dynamic timeout
	value.  Do NOT use this option to always use a fixed (instead
	of a dynamic) timeout value.

	If 'icp_query_timeout' is set to zero, then this value is
	ignored.
DOC_END

NAME: mcast_icp_query_timeout
COMMENT: (msec)
DEFAULT: 2000
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.Timeout.mcast_icp_query
DOC_START
	For Multicast peers, Squid regularly sends out ICP "probes" to
	count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast
	address.  This value specifies how long Squid should wait to
	count all the replies.  The default is 2000 msec, or 2
	seconds.
DOC_END

NAME: dead_peer_timeout
COMMENT: (seconds)
DEFAULT: 10 seconds
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
DOC_START
	This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
	as "dead."  If there are no ICP replies received in this
	amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
	expect to receive any further ICP replies.  However, it
	continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
	alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.

	This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
	replies from peers.  If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
	passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
	expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query.  Thus, if
	your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
	will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
	instead of to your parents.
DOC_END


NAME: hierarchy_stoplist
TYPE: wordlist
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.hierarchy_stoplist
DOC_START
	A list of words which, if found in a URL, cause the object to

DOC_START
	A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause the reply to
	immediately removed from the cache.  In other words, use this
	to force certain objects to never be cached.

	You must use the word 'DENY' to indicate the ACL names which should
	NOT be cached.

NAME: cache_mem
COMMENT: (bytes)
TYPE: b_size_t
DEFAULT: 8 MB
LOC: Config.memMaxSize
DOC_START
	NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS
	SIZE.  IT PLACES A LIMIT ON ONE ASPECT OF SQUID'S MEMORY
	USAGE.  SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
	YOUR PROCESS WILL PROBABLY BECOME TWICE OR THREE TIMES
	BIGGER THAN THE VALUE YOU PUT HERE 

	'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
	for:
		* In-Transit objects
		* Hot Objects
		* Negative-Cached objects

	Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks.  This
	parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
	4 KB blocks allocated.  In-Transit objects take the highest
	priority.

	In-transit objects have priority over the others.  When
	additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
	and hot objects will be released.  In other words, the
	negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
	not needed for in-transit objects.

	If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
	Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
	'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
	exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests.  When the load
	decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
	reached.  Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
	objects.

	The low- and high-water marks for cache object replacement.
	Replacement begins when the swap (disk) usage is above the
	low-water mark and attempts to maintain utilization near the
	low-water mark.  As swap utilization gets close to high-water
	mark object eviction becomes more aggressive.  If utilization is
	close to the low-water mark less replacement is done each time.
	
	Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be
	hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these
	numbers closer together.

	Objects larger than this size will NOT be saved on disk.  The
	value is specified in kilobytes, and the default is 4MB.  If
	you wish to get a high BYTES hit ratio, you should probably
	increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10KB
	hits).  If you wish to increase speed more than your want to
	save bandwidth you should leave this low.

	NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
	this value to maximize the byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA!

DOC_START
	Usage:
	
	cache_dir Type Maxobjsize Directory-Name Mbytes Level-1 Level2

	You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
	cache among different disk partitions.

	Type specifies the kind of storage system to use.  Most
	everyone will want to use "ufs" as the type.  If you are using
	Async I/O (--enable async-io) on Linux or Solaris, then you may
	want to try "asyncufs" as the type.  Async IO support may be
	buggy, however, so beware.

	Maxobjsize refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
	It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
	-1 means 'any size'.

	'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
	files will be stored.  If you want to use an entire disk
	for caching, then this can be the mount-point directory.
	The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
	process.  Squid will NOT create this directory for you.

	If no 'cache_dir' lines are specified, the following
	default will be used: @DEFAULT_SWAP_DIR@.

	'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
	directory.  The default is 100 MB.  Change this to suit your
	configuration.

	'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
	will be created under the 'Directory'.  The default is 16.

	'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
	will be created under each first-level directory.  The default

NAME: cache_swap_log
TYPE: string
LOC: Config.Log.swap
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
	Location for the cache "swap.log."  This log file holds the
	metadata of objects saved on disk.  It is used to rebuild the
	cache during startup.  Normally this file resides in each
	'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
	pathname here.  Note you must give a full filename, not just
	a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
	list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!

	If %s can be used in the file name then it will be replaced with a
	a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
	with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
	lines when cache_swap_log is being used.
	    
	If have more than one 'cache_dir', and %s is not used in the name
	then these swap logs will have names such as:

		cache_swap_log.00
		cache_swap_log.01
		cache_swap_log.02

	The numbered extension (which is added automatically)
	corresponds to the order of the 'cache_dir' lines in this
	configuration file.  If you change the order of the 'cache_dir'
	lines in this file, then these log files will NOT correspond to
	the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename
	them).  We recommend that you do NOT use this option.  It is
	better to keep these log files in each 'cache_dir' directory.

	for people to share their password to their friends, but
	yet allow a dialup user to reconnect on a different dialup
	port.

	The default is 0 to disable the check. Recommended value
	if you have dialup users are no more than 60 seconds to allow

NAME: reply_body_max_size
COMMENT: (KB)

DOC_START
	This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body.  It
	can be used to prevent users from downloading very large files,
	such as MP3's and movies.   The reply size is checked twice.
	First when we get the reply headers, we check the
	content-length value.  If the content length value exists and
	is larger than this parameter, the request is denied and the
	user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
	is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
	size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
	and they will receive a partial reply.

	NOTE: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
	if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
	partial responses and give them out as hits.  You should NOT
	use this option if you have downstream caches.

	If you set this parameter to zero (the default), there will be
	no limit imposed.

	value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
	to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
	has taken the appropriate actions.

	'Percent' is a percentage of the objects age (time since last

NAME: replacement_policy
TYPE: string
LOC: Config.replPolicy
DEFAULT: LFUDA
IFDEF: HEAP_REPLACEMENT
DOC_START
	The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
	objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.
	Squid used to have only a single replacement policy, LRU.
	But when built with -DHEAP_REPLACEMENT you can choose
	between two new, enhanced policies:

		   GDSF: Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
		   LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging

	Both of these policies are frequency based rather than recency
	based, and perform better than LRU.

	The GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
	popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
	hit.  It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
	it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.

	The LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
	their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
	hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
	smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.

	Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
	cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
	replacement policies.

	NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
	the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
	to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.  

	For more information about these cache replacement policies see
	http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/1999/HPL-1999-69.html and

NAME: reference_age
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.referenceAge

DOC_START
	As a part of normal operation, Squid performs Least Recently
	Used removal of cached objects.  The LRU age for removal is
	computed dynamically, based on the amount of disk space in
	use.  The dynamic value can be seen in the Cache Manager 'info'
	output.

	The 'reference_age' parameter defines the maximum LRU age.  For
	example, setting reference_age to '1 week' will cause objects
	to be removed if they have not been accessed for a week or
	more.  The default value is one year.

	Specify a number here, followed by units of time.  For example:
		1 week
		3.5 days

	The cache can be configured to continue downloading aborted

	descriptors and bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and
	immediately aborting downloads.

	When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the
	quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
	then.

	If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,
	it will finish the retrieval.  Setting 'quick_abort_min' to -1

	This is to stop a far ahead range request (lets say start at 17MB)
	from making Squid fetch the whole object up to that point before
	sending anything to the client.

	different HTTP servers by looking at this header.  However,
	Squid does NOT check the value of the Host header, so it opens
	a big security hole.  We recommend that this option remain
	disabled unless you are sure of what you are doing.

	However, you will need to enable this option if you run Squid
	as a transparent proxy.  Otherwise, virtual servers which
	require the Host: header will not be properly cached.

	disable the rotation, but the logfiles are still closed and
	re-opened.  This will enable you to rename the logfiles
	yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

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

LOC: Config.MemPools.limit
DOC_START
	Used only with memory_pools on:

	If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
	limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
	requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
	library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
	objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
	memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
	configuration will use less memory.

	If not set (default) or set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it
	can. That is, there will be no limit on the total amount of memory
	used for safe-keeping.

	To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
	memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.

	An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
	when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
	object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
	reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

	ICP replies from that peer will include the ICMP data (if available).
	Then, when choosing a parent cache, Squid will choose the parent with
	the minimal RTT to the origin server.  When this happens, the

NAME: always_direct
TYPE: acl_access
LOC: Config.accessList.AlwaysDirect
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
	Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

	Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
	ALWAYS be forwarded directly to origin servers.  For example,
	to always directly forward requests for local servers use
	something like:

		acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
		always_direct allow local-servers

	To always forward FTP requests directly, use

		acl FTP proto FTP
		always_direct allow FTP

	NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
	'never_direct'.  You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
	foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo".  You
	may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
	some other rule.  Example:

		acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
		acl local-servers dstdomain  foo.net
		always_direct deny local-external
		always_direct allow local-servers

	This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain
	and local_ip.
DOC_END

NAME: never_direct
TYPE: acl_access
LOC: Config.accessList.NeverDirect
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
	Usage: never_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

	never_direct is the opposite of always_direct.  Please read
	the description for always_direct if you have not already.

	With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
	requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
	servers.  For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
	requests, except those in your local domain use something like:

		acl local-servers dstdomain foo.net
		acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
		never_direct deny local-servers
		never_direct allow all
	
	or if squid is inside a firewall and there is local intranet
	servers inside the firewall then use something like:

		acl local-intranet dstdomain foo.net
		acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
		always_direct deny local-external
		always_direct allow local-intranet
		never_direct allow all
	
	This option replaces some v1.1 options such as inside_firewall
	and firewall_ip.
DOC_END

NAME: anonymize_headers
TYPE: http_header
LOC: Config.anonymize_headers
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
	Usage: anonymize_headers allow|deny header_name ...

	This option replaces the old 'http_anonymizer' option with
	something that is much more configurable.  You may now
	specify exactly which headers are to be allowed, or which
	are to be removed from outgoing requests.

	There are two methods of using this option.  You may either
	allow specific headers (thus denying all others), or you
	may deny specific headers (thus allowing all others).

	For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old
	'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:

		anonymize_headers deny From Referer Server
		anonymize_headers deny User-Agent WWW-Authenticate Link
		
	Or, to reproduce the old 'http_anonymizer paranoid' feature
	you should use:

		anonymize_headers allow Allow Authorization Cache-Control
		anonymize_headers allow Content-Encoding Content-Length
		anonymize_headers allow Content-Type Date Expires Host
		anonymize_headers allow If-Modified-Since Last-Modified
		anonymize_headers allow Location Pragma Accept
		anonymize_headers allow Accept-Encoding Accept-Language
		anonymize_headers allow Content-Language Mime-Version
		anonymize_headers allow Retry-After Title Connection
		anonymize_headers allow Proxy-Connection

	NOTE: You can not mix "allow" and "deny".  All 'anonymize_headers'
	lines must have the same second argument.

	By default, all headers are allowed (no anonymizing is
	performed).

	by dividing it by the number of addresses.  So, a site with 15
	addresses would then have a timeout of 8 seconds for each
	address attempted.  To avoid having the timeout reduced to the
	point where even a working host would not have a chance to
	respond, this setting is provided.  The default, and the
	minimum value, is five seconds, and the maximum value is sixty
	seconds, or half of connect_timeout, whichever is greater and
	less than connect_timeout.

DEFAULT: 0
IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
	This represents the number of delay pools to be used.  For example,
	if you have one class 2 delay pool and one class 3 delays pool, you
	have a total of 2 delay pools.

	To enable this option, you must use --enable-delay-pools with the
	configure script.
DOC_END

NAME: delay_class
TYPE: delay_pool_class
DEFAULT: none
IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
	This defines the class of each delay pool.  There must be exactly one
	delay_class line for each delay pool.  For example, to define two
	delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above
	and here would be:

Example:
 delay_pools 2      # 2 delay pools
 delay_class 1 2    # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
 delay_class 2 3    # pool 2 is a class 3 pool

	The delay pool classes are:

		class 1		Everything is limited by a single aggregate
				bucket.

		class 2 	Everything is limited by a single aggregate
				bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
				from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.

		class 3		Everything is limited by a single aggregate
				bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
				from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
				"individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
				32 of the IP address.

	NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
		-> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
		-> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
		-> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

NAME: delay_access
TYPE: delay_pool_access
DEFAULT: none
IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
	This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
	The first matched delay pool is always used, i.e., if a request falls
	into delay pool number one, no more delay are checked, otherwise the
	rest are checked in order of their delay pool number until they have
	all been checked.  For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
	pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:

Example:
 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
 delay_access 1 deny all
 delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients
 delay_access 2 deny all
DOC_END

NAME: delay_parameters
TYPE: delay_pool_rates
DEFAULT: none
IFDEF: DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
	This defines the parameters for a delay pool.  Each delay pool has
	a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
	description of delay_class.  For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:

delay_parameters pool aggregate

	For a class 2 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate individual

	For a class 3 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual

	The variables here are:

		pool		a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
				number specified in delay_pools as used in
				delay_class lines.

		aggregate	the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
				(class 1, 2, 3).

		individual	the "delay parameters" for the individual
				buckets (class 2, 3).

		network		the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
				(class 3).

	A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
	the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
	quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
	maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.

	For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
	above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
	(plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000

	Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".

	And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
	example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
	with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
	individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
	to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
	(if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
	large downloads more significantly:

delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000

	There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.

	Quote from RFC 2068 section 4.1 on this matter:

	  Note: certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations generate an
	  extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly
	  forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow
	  a request with an extra CRLF.

DOC_START
	By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests
	(matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cachable request type) direct
	to origin servers.

	If you set this to off, then Squid will prefer to send these
	requests to parents.

	Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
	add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit
	ratio.

	this directive.
DOC_END

NAME: prefer_direct
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.prefer_direct

DOC_START
	Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you by some
	reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if
	going direct fails then set this to off.
