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

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

41bd17a4 66 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
5473c134 67 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

69
41bd17a4 70NAME: auth_param
71TYPE: authparam
72LOC: Config.authConfiguration
cccac0a2 73DEFAULT: none
74DOC_START
41bd17a4 75 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
76 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 77
41bd17a4 78 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 79
41bd17a4 80 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
81 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
82 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
83 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
84 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
85 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
86 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
87 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
88 program entry).
cccac0a2 89
41bd17a4 90 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
91 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
92 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
93 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 94
41bd17a4 95 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
96 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
97 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
98 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
99 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
100 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
101 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
102 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
103 type acl.
cccac0a2 104
41bd17a4 105 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
106 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
107 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
108 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
13b5cd0c
AJ
109 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have authentication
110 disabled.
cccac0a2 111
41bd17a4 112 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 113
41bd17a4 114 "program" cmdline
115 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
116 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
117 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
118 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
119 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 120
41bd17a4 121 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
122 program is specified.
cccac0a2 123
41bd17a4 124 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
125 this line to something like
307b83b7 126
41bd17a4 127 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 128
41bd17a4 129 "children" numberofchildren
130 The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
131 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
132 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
133 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
134 authenticator processes.
135 auth_param basic children 5
9e7dbc51 136
41bd17a4 137 "concurrency" concurrency
138 The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
139 The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
140 one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to
141 include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing
142 multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without
143 wating for the response.
144 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
145 auth_param basic concurrency 0
0fdafae7 146
41bd17a4 147 "realm" realmstring
148 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
149 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
150 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
151 password). There is no default.
152 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 153
41bd17a4 154 "credentialsttl" timetolive
155 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
156 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
157 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
158 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
159 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
160 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
161 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
162 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
163 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 164
41bd17a4 165 "casesensitive" on|off
166 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
167 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
168 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
169 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
170 auth_param basic casesensitive off
cccac0a2 171
41bd17a4 172 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 173
41bd17a4 174 "program" cmdline
175 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
176 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
177 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
178 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
179 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
180 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
181 available as %m in the returned error page.
cccac0a2 182
41bd17a4 183 By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
184 program is specified.
b8c0c06d 185
41bd17a4 186 If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
187 something like
cccac0a2 188
41bd17a4 189 auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_auth_pw @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass
cccac0a2 190
41bd17a4 191 "children" numberofchildren
192 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
193 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
194 process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
195 When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
196 you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
197 auth_param digest children 5
cccac0a2 198
41bd17a4 199 "realm" realmstring
200 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
201 client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
202 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
203 password). There is no default.
204 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
cccac0a2 205
41bd17a4 206 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
207 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
208 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
cccac0a2 209
41bd17a4 210 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
211 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
212 valid for.
cccac0a2 213
41bd17a4 214 "nonce_max_count" number
215 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
216 used.
cccac0a2 217
41bd17a4 218 "nonce_strictness" on|off
219 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
220 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
221 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
222 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 223
41bd17a4 224 "check_nonce_count" on|off
225 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
226 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
227 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
228 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 229
41bd17a4 230 "post_workaround" on|off
231 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
232 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
233 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
cccac0a2 234
41bd17a4 235 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
cccac0a2 236
41bd17a4 237 "program" cmdline
238 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
239 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
240 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
241 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
242 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
243 is not used.
cccac0a2 244
41bd17a4 245 auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth
cccac0a2 246
41bd17a4 247 "children" numberofchildren
248 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
249 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
250 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
251 down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
252 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
253 processes.
cccac0a2 254
41bd17a4 255 auth_param ntlm children 5
cccac0a2 256
41bd17a4 257 "keep_alive" on|off
258 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
259 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
260 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
261 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
262 supported by the proxy.
cccac0a2 263
41bd17a4 264 auth_param ntlm keep_alive on
cccac0a2 265
41bd17a4 266 === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 267
41bd17a4 268 "program" cmdline
269 Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
270 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
271 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
272 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
273 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
274 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl
275 of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate authenticator_program
276 is not used.
277 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
278 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.
cccac0a2 279
41bd17a4 280 auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego
cccac0a2 281
41bd17a4 282 "children" numberofchildren
283 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
284 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
285 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
286 down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow)
287 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
288 processes.
289 auth_param negotiate children 5
d3803853 290
41bd17a4 291 "keep_alive" on|off
292 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
293 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
294 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
295 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
296 supported by the proxy.

326 The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.

348 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,

350 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
351 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
352 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
353 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN

669DOC_START
670 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
671 find the original source of a request.
672
673 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
674 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
675 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
676 rightmost address being the most recent.
677
678 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
679 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
680 to see where that host received the request from. If the
681 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
682 acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
683 until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
684 follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
685 address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
686 it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
687 X-Forwarded-For addresses.)
688
689 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
690 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
691 be treated as the client address for access control, delay
692 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
693 delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client
694 options.
695
696 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
697
698 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
699 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
700 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
701 source address of the request. This may enable remote
702 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
703 based on the client's source addresses.

705 For example:
706
707 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1

936DOC_START
937 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
938 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
939 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
940 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
941 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
942 for this reply.
943
944 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
945 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
946 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
947 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
948 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
949 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
950 and they will receive a partial reply.
951
952 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
953 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
954 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
955 use this option if you have downstream caches.
956
957 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
958 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
959 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
960 the size of your largest error page.

980 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
981 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
982 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
983 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
984 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
985 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
986 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
987 address, so you can use the port number alone.
988
989 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
990 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.

e77bdb4e 1000 intercept Support for IP-Layer interception of
5b0f5383 1001 outgoing requests without browser settings.
13b5cd0c 1002 NP: disables authentication and IPv6 on the port.
5b0f5383 1003
1004 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing
1005 connections using the client IP address.
13b5cd0c 1006 NP: disables authentication and IPv6 on the port.
5b0f5383 1007
1008 accel Accelerator mode. Also needs at least one of
1009 vhost / vport / defaultsite.
1010
1011 defaultsite=domainname
1012 What to use for the Host: header if it is not present
1013 in a request. Determines what site (not origin server)
1014 accelerators should consider the default.
1015 Implies accel.
1016
1017 vhost Accelerator mode using Host header for virtual
1018 domain support. Implies accel.
1019
1020 vport Accelerator with IP based virtual host support.
1021 Implies accel.
1022
1023 vport=NN As above, but uses specified port number rather
1024 than the http_port number. Implies accel.
1025
1026 protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with.
1027 Defaults to http.
1028
1029 disable-pmtu-discovery=
1030 Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
1031 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
1032 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
1033 support is enabled.
1034 always disable always PMTU discovery.
1035
1036 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
1037 Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
1038 clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
1039 does not fully track connections and fails to forward
1040 ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
1041 have such setup and experience that certain clients
1042 sporadically hang or never complete requests set
1043 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.
1044
4c9da963 1045 sslBump Intercept each CONNECT request matching ssl_bump ACL,
1046 establish secure connection with the client and with
1047 the server, decrypt HTTP messages as they pass through
1048 Squid, and treat them as unencrypted HTTP messages,
1049 becoming the man-in-the-middle.
1050
1051 When this option is enabled, additional options become
1052 available to specify SSL-related properties of the
1053 client-side connection: cert, key, version, cipher,
1054 options, clientca, cafile, capath, crlfile, dhparams,
1055 sslflags, and sslcontext. See the https_port directive
1056 for more information on these options.
1057
1058 The ssl_bump option is required to fully enable
1059 the SslBump feature.
1060
81b6e9a7 1061 name= Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
1062 the port specification (port or addr:port)
1063
b2130d58 1064 keepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]
1065 Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections
1066 idle is the initial time before TCP starts probing
1067 the connection, interval how often to probe, and
1068 timeout the time before giving up.
1069
5b0f5383 1070 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
1071 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the

1325 IPv6 Magic:
1326
1327 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 internets.
1328 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1329 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1330 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1331
1332 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1333 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1334 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1486
1487 For example, the following lines will bypass all validation errors

1495 This option must use fast ACL expressions only. Expressions that use

1499 Without this option, all server certificate validation errors
1500 terminate the transaction. Bypassing validation errors is dangerous
1501 because an error usually implies that the server cannot be trusted and

cccac0a2 1594
41bd17a4 1595 use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
1596 from this cache should not be saved locally.
cccac0a2 1597
41bd17a4 1598 use 'weight=n' to affect the selection of a peer
1599 during any weighted peer-selection mechanisms.
1600 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
1601 larger weights are favored more.
1602 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
1603 protocol is not in use.
cccac0a2 1604
41bd17a4 1605 use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
1606 be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
1607 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
1608 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
1609 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
cccac0a2 1610
41bd17a4 1611 use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
1612 when sending an ICP queries to this address.
1613 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
1614 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
1615 hosts, you must configure other group members as
1616 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.
5473c134 1617
41bd17a4 1618 use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
1619 neighbor.
5473c134 1620
41bd17a4 1621 use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
1622 neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
1623 round trip time updated and is usually used in
1624 conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
cccac0a2 1625
41bd17a4 1626 use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
1627 be used as a "last-resort" if a peer cannot be located
1628 by any of the peer-selection mechanisms.
1629 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
cccac0a2 1630
41bd17a4 1631 use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
1632 should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
1633 absence of any ICP queries.
cccac0a2 1634
41bd17a4 1635 use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
1636 which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
1637 frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
1638 time. Closer parents are used more often.
1639 Usually used for background-ping parents.
cccac0a2 1640
41bd17a4 1641 use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
1642 be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
1643 distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
382db7eb 1644 balancing hash function based on their weight.
cccac0a2 1645
41bd17a4 1646 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
1647 is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
1648 not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
1649 will be accepted from it.
cccac0a2 1650
41bd17a4 1651 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
1652 replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
1653 and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
cccac0a2 1654
41bd17a4 1655 use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
1656 this neighbor.
cccac0a2 1657
41bd17a4 1658 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
1659 RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
cccac0a2 1660
41bd17a4 1661 use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
1662 from influencing the delay pools.
7d90757b 1663
41bd17a4 1664 use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
1665 proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
1666 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
1667 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
7d90757b 1668
41bd17a4 1669 use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
1670 the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
1671 configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
1672 the users credentials as they are to the peer.
1673 This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
1674 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
1675 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
1676 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
1677 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
1678 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
7d90757b 1679
41bd17a4 1680 use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
1681 upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
1682 to be used when the peer is in another administrative
1683 domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
1684 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
1685 information which is added to the username. This can
1686 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
1687 the login=username:password option above.
cccac0a2 1688
41bd17a4 1689 use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
1690 specific connect timeout (also see the
1691 peer_connect_timeout directive)
7f7db318 1692
41bd17a4 1693 use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
1694 digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
1695 the specified URL rather than the Squid default
1696 location.
cccac0a2 1697
41bd17a4 1698 use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
1699 when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
1700 useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
1701 extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
1702 loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
1703 with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
1704 requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
1705 source is a peer)
cccac0a2 1706
41bd17a4 1707 use 'max-conn=n' to limit the amount of connections Squid
1708 may open to this peer.
cccac0a2 1709
41bd17a4 1710 use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
1711 to the neighbor. You probably also want to
1712 set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
0b48417e 1713 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1714 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
cccac0a2 1715
41bd17a4 1716 use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
0b48417e 1717 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1718 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
cccac0a2 1719
41bd17a4 1720 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
1721 a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
cccac0a2 1722
41bd17a4 1723 use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
1724 host but different ports. This name can be used to
1725 differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
1726 directives.
cccac0a2 1727
41bd17a4 1728 use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
1729 of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
1730 setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
1731 name and using redirectors to feed this domain name
1732 is not feasible.
64658378 1733
41bd17a4 1734 use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
1735 be SSL/TLS encrypted.
cccac0a2 1736
41bd17a4 1737 use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
1738 SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.
4c9fa5d5 1739
41bd17a4 1740 use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
1741 key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
1742 specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
1743 combined file containing both the certificate and the key.
4c9fa5d5 1744
41bd17a4 1745 use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
1746 when connecting to this peer
1747 1 = automatic (default)
1748 2 = SSL v2 only
1749 3 = SSL v3 only
1750 4 = TLS v1 only
cccac0a2 1751
41bd17a4 1752 use sslcipher=... to specify the list of valid SSL ciphers
1753 to use when connecting to this peer.
cccac0a2 1754
41bd17a4 1755 use ssloptions=... to specify various SSL engine options:
1756 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
1757 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
1758 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
1759 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
1760 a more complete list.
cccac0a2 1761
41bd17a4 1762 use sslcafile=... to specify a file containing
1763 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
1764 peer certificate.
cccac0a2 1765
41bd17a4 1766 use sslcapath=... to specify a directory containing
1767 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
1768 peer certificate.
cccac0a2 1769
41bd17a4 1770 use sslcrlfile=... to specify a certificate revocation
1771 list file to use when verifying the peer certificate.
1772
1773 use sslflags=... to specify various flags modifying the
1774 SSL implementation:
1775 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
1776 Accept certificates even if they fail to
1777 verify.
1778 NO_DEFAULT_CA
1779 Don't use the default CA list built in
1780 to OpenSSL.
1781 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
1782 Don't verify the peer certificate
1783 matches the server name
cccac0a2 1784
41bd17a4 1785 use ssldomain= to specify the peer name as advertised
1786 in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness
1787 of the received peer certificate. If not specified the
1788 peer hostname will be used.
cccac0a2 1789
41bd17a4 1790 use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On"
1791 header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend in front
1792 of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details
1793 on this header. If set to auto the header will
1794 only be added if the request is forwarded as a https://
1795 URL.

1868TYPE: time_t
1869LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
1870DOC_START
1871 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
1872 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
1873 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
1874 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
1875 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
1876 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 1877
41bd17a4 1878 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
1879 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
1880 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
1881 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
1882 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you

41bd17a4 1914 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
1915 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
1916 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
1917 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
1918
1919 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
1920 for:
1921 * In-Transit objects
1922 * Hot Objects
1923 * Negative-Cached objects
1924
1925 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
1926 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
1927 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
1928 priority.
1929
1930 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
1931 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
1932 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
1933 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
1934 not needed for in-transit objects.
1935
1936 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
1937 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
1938 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
1939 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
1940 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
1941 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
1942 objects.

41bd17a4 1990 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller

1997 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
1998 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 1999
41bd17a4 2000 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2001 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2002 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2003
41bd17a4 2004 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2005 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2006 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2020 cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
0976f8db 2021
41bd17a4 2022 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
2023 cache among different disk partitions.
0976f8db 2024
41bd17a4 2025 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
2026 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
2027 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
0976f8db 2028
41bd17a4 2029 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2030 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2031 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
2032 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
2033 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
0976f8db 2034
41bd17a4 2035 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2036
41bd17a4 2037 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
2038 been there.
0976f8db 2039
41bd17a4 2040 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
0976f8db 2041
41bd17a4 2042 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
2043 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
2044 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2045 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2046 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2047
41bd17a4 2048 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
2049 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
0976f8db 2050
41bd17a4 2051 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
2052 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
2053 is 256.
0976f8db 2054
41bd17a4 2055 The aufs store type:
7f7db318 2056
41bd17a4 2057 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
2058 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2059 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.

41bd17a4 2065 The diskd store type:
38f9c547 2066
41bd17a4 2067 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
2068 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2069 disk-I/O.

0976f8db 2074
41bd17a4 2075 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2076 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2077 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2078
41bd17a4 2079 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2080 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2081 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2082
41bd17a4 2083 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2084 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2085 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
2086 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
2087 time.
0976f8db 2088
41bd17a4 2089 The coss store type:
0976f8db 2090
41bd17a4 2091 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2092 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2093 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2094 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2095 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2096 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2097 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2098
41bd17a4 2099 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2100 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2101 this will be created by squid -z.
0976f8db 2102
41bd17a4 2103 Common options:
0976f8db 2104
41bd17a4 2105 no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir
0976f8db 2106
41bd17a4 2107 max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
2108 It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
2109 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
2110 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2111 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2112
41bd17a4 2113 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
2114 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
2115 option.

2187 low-water mark. As swap utilization gets close to high-water
2188 mark object eviction becomes more aggressive. If utilization is
2189 close to the low-water mark less replacement is done each time.
2190
2191 Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be
2192 hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these

2971 Set the Default Time-to-Live (TTL) for failed requests.
2972 Certain types of failures (such as "connection refused" and
2973 "404 Not Found") are able to be negatively-cached for a short time.
2974 Modern web servers should provide Expires: header, however if they
2975 do not this can provide a minimum TTL.
2976 The default is not to cache errors with unknown expiry details.

3151 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
3152 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
3153 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
3154 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
3155 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
3156 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
3157 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
3158 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
3159 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
3160 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
3161 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
3162 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
3163 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
3164 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
3165 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
3166 force fresh content.

3462 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
3463 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
3464 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
3465 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
3466 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
3467 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
3468 day, 1440 minutes.

3471 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
3472 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
3473 If you seem to have many client connections tying up
3474 filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,
3475 request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values.

3485 Squid can not tell the difference between a half-closed and a
3486 fully-closed TCP connection. By default, half-closed client
3487 connections are kept open until a read(2) or write(2) on the
3488 socket returns an error. Change this option to 'off' and Squid
3489 will immediately close client connections when read(2) returns

3788 delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool

3790 delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool

3792 The delay pool classes are:
3793
3794 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3795 bucket.
3796
3797 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3798 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
3799 from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.
3800
3801 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3802 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
3803 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
3804 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
3805 32 of the IP address.
3806
3807 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
3808 additional limit on a per user basis. This
3809 only takes effect if the username is established
3810 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
3811 http_access rules.
3812
3813 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
3814 external_acl's tag= reply).
3815
3816 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
3817 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"

3852 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
3853 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
3854 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
3855
3856delay_parameters pool aggregate
3857
3858 For a class 2 delay pool:

3868delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
3869
3870 For a class 5 delay pool:
3871
3872delay_parameters pool tag
3873
3874 The variables here are:
3875
3876 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
3877 number specified in delay_pools as used in
3878 delay_class lines.
3879
3880 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
3881 (class 1, 2, 3).
3882
3883 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
3884 buckets (class 2, 3).
3885
3886 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
3887 (class 3).
3888
3889 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
3890 (class 4).
3891
3892 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
3893 (class 5).
3894
3895 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
3896 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
3897 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
3898 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
3899
3900 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
3901 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
3902 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
3903
3904delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
3905
3906 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
3907
3908 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
3909 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
3910 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
3911 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
3912 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
3913 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
3914 large downloads more significantly:
3915
3916delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
3917
3918 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
3919
3920 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
3921 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
3922

4057 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
4058 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
4059 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
4060 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
4061 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
4062 using the wccp2_service_info option.
4063
4064 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
4065 just specifying the service id will suffice.
4066
4067 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
4068 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.
4069
4070 Examples:
4071
4072 wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service
4073 wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be

4750 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

4752 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
4753 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
4754
4755 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
4756 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
4757 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
4758 the first authentication related acl encountered
4759 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
4760 acl processed on the last http_access line.
4761
4762 You may use ERR_ pages that come with Squid or create your own pages
4763 and put them into the configured errors/ directory.
4764
4765 Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will
4766 get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection
4767 URL will be replaced by the requested URL.

5473c134 4823 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
4824 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using

4826 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
4827 something like:
0b0cfcf2 4828
5473c134 4829 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
4830 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 4831

4835 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 4836
5473c134 4837 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
4838 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
4839 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
4840 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
4841 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 4842
5473c134 4843 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
4844 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
4845 always_direct deny local-external
4846 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 4847
5473c134 4848 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
4849 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
4850 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
4851 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 4852
5473c134 4853 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
4854 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
4855 the replies see no_cache.

4870
4871 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
4872 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
4873 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
4874 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
4875
4876 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
4877 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
4878 never_direct deny local-servers
4879 never_direct allow all
4880
4881 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
4882 servers inside the firewall use something like:
4883
4884 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
4885 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
4886 always_direct deny local-external
4887 always_direct allow local-intranet

ac7a62f9 5068 The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the
5069 HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body
5070 or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments,
5071 previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.
5072
5073 During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what
5074 HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.
5075 Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one.
5076
5077 To disable ICAP Preview for all ICAP services, regardless of

5547 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
5548 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
5549 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
5550 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
5551 configuration will use less memory.
ec1245f8 5552
5473c134 5553 If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
5554 will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.
ec1245f8 5555
5473c134 5556 To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
5557 memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.
5558
5559 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
5560 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
5561 object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
5562 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.
