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

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

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

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

41bd17a4 169 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
5473c134 170 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

172
41bd17a4 173NAME: auth_param
174TYPE: authparam
5817ee13 175LOC: Auth::TheConfig
cccac0a2 176DEFAULT: none
177DOC_START
41bd17a4 178 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
179 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 180
41bd17a4 181 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 182
41bd17a4 183 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
184 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
185 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
186 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
187 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
188 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
189 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
190 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
191 program entry).
cccac0a2 192
41bd17a4 193 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
194 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
195 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
196 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 197
41bd17a4 198 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
199 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
200 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
201 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
202 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
203 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
204 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
205 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
206 type acl.
cccac0a2 207
41bd17a4 208 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
209 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
210 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
211 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
212 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
213 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 214
41bd17a4 215 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 216
41bd17a4 217 "program" cmdline
218 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
219 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
220 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
221 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
222 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
223 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 224
41bd17a4 225 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
226 program is specified.
cccac0a2 227
41bd17a4 228 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
229 this line to something like
307b83b7 230
41bd17a4 231 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 232
d2a89ac1
AJ
233 "utf8" on|off
234 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
235 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
236 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
237 username & password to the helper.
238
7353861b 239 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 240 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 241 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
242 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
243 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
244 authenticator processes.
48d54e4d
AJ
245
246 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
64d2327b

247 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
248 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
48d54e4d
AJ
249 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
250 the maximum.
251
7353861b
HN
252 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
253 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
254 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
255 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
256 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
257 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 258 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

41bd17a4 262 "realm" realmstring
263 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
264 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
265 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
266 password). There is no default.
267 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 268
41bd17a4 269 "credentialsttl" timetolive
270 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
271 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
272 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
273 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
274 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
275 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
276 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
277 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
278 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 279
41bd17a4 280 "casesensitive" on|off
281 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
282 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
283 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
284 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
285 auth_param basic casesensitive off
cccac0a2 286
41bd17a4 287 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 288
41bd17a4 289 "program" cmdline
290 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
291 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
292 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
293 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
294 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
295 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
296 available as %m in the returned error page.

cccac0a2 345
41bd17a4 346 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
347 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
348 valid for.
cccac0a2 349
41bd17a4 350 "nonce_max_count" number
351 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
352 used.
cccac0a2 353
41bd17a4 354 "nonce_strictness" on|off
355 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
356 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
357 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
358 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 359
41bd17a4 360 "check_nonce_count" on|off
361 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
362 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
363 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
364 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 365
41bd17a4 366 "post_workaround" on|off
367 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
368 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
369 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
cccac0a2 370
41bd17a4 371 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
cccac0a2 372

375 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
376 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
377 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
378 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program

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

cccac0a2 595
41bd17a4 596 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
597 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
598 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with

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

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

910
911 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
912 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
57d76dd4 913 be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay

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

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

1262 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1263 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1264 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1265 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1266 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1267 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1268 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1269
1270 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1271 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1272
1273 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1274 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will

1761 IPv6 Magic:

FC
1763 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6
1764 internets.
cc192b50 1765 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1766 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1767 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1768
1769 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1770 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1771 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

AJ
1792 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used

2069
2070 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2071
2072 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2073 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2074 For web servers this is usually 80
2075
2076 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2077 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2078 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2079
2080
2081 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2082
2083 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2084 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2085
2086
2087 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2088
2089 multicast-responder
2090 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2091 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2092 replies will be accepted from it.
2093
2094 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2095 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2096
2097 background-ping
2098 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2099 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2100 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2101
2102
2103 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2104
2105 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2106 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2107
2108
2109 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2110 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2111 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2112 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2113
18191440 2114 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2115
18191440 2116 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2117 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2118 only-clr.
2b94f655 2119
18191440
AJ
2120 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2121 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2122
18191440 2123 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2124 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2125 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2126
18191440 2127 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2128 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2129
2130
2131 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2132
2133 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2134 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2135
2136
2137 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2138 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2139 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2140
2141 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2142 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2143 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2144
2145 weighted-round-robin
2146 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2147 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2148 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2149 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2150 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2151
2152 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2153 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2154 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2155
2156 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2157
2158 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2159
2160 multicast-siblings
2161 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2162 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2163 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2164 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2165 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2166 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2167 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2168
2169
2170 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2171
2172 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2173 peer-selection mechanisms.
2174 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2175 larger weights are favored more.
2176 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2177 protocol is not in use.
2178
2179 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2180 times of parents.
2181 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2182 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2183 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2184
3c72389f
AJ
2185 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2186 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2187 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2188 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2189 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2190 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2191
2192 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2193 delay pools.
2194
2195 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2196 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2197 than the Squid default location.
2198
2199
2200 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2201
2202 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2203 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2204 is a web server.
2205
2206 forceddomain=name
2207 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2208 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2209 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2210 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2211
2212 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2213
2214 no-netdb-exchange
2215 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2216
2217
2218 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2219
2220 login=user:password
2221 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2222 requires proxy authentication.
2223
2224 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2225 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2226
11e4c5e5
AJ
2227 login=PASSTHRU
2228 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2229 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2230 without alteration to the peer.
2231 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2232
2233 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2234 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2235 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2236
2b94f655
AJ
2237 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2238 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2239
2b94f655
AJ
2240 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2241 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2242 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2243 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2244
2245 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2246 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2247 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2248 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2249 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2250
2251 login=*:password
2252 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2253 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2254 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2255 needed to identify each user.
2256 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2257 information which is added to the username. This can
2258 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2259 the login=username:password option above.
2260
9ca29d23
AJ
2261 login=NEGOTIATE
2262 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2263 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2264 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2265 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2266
2267 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2268 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2269 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2270 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2271 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2272 used.
2273
2b94f655
AJ
2274 connection-auth=on|off
2275 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2276 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2277 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2278 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2279 of the peer.

2287 A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to
2288 this peer.
2289
2290 sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
2291 The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
2292 If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
2293 reference a combined file containing both the
2294 certificate and the key.
2295
2296 sslversion=1|2|3|4
2297 The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
2298 1 = automatic (default)
2299 2 = SSL v2 only
2300 3 = SSL v3 only
2301 4 = TLS v1 only
2302
2303 sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting
2304 to this peer.
2305

2310 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
2311 a more complete list.
2312
2313 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
2314 when verifying the peer certificate.
2315
2316 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
2317 use when verifying the peer certificate.
2318
2319 sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when

2325 Accept certificates even if they fail to
2326 verify.
2327 NO_DEFAULT_CA
2328 Don't use the default CA list built in
2329 to OpenSSL.
2330 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2331 Don't verify the peer certificate
2332 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2333
2334 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2335 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2336 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2337 used.
2338
2339 front-end-https
2340 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2341 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2342 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2343 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2344 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2345
2346
2347 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2348
2349 connect-timeout=N
2350 A peer-specific connect timeout.
2351 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2352
2353 connect-fail-limit=N
2354 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2355 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2356
2357 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2358 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2359 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2360 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2361 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2362 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2363 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2364
2365 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2366 peer. see also
2367
2368 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2369 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2370 but different ports.
2371 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2372 directives to dentify the peer.
2373 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2374 peername ACL type.

2455DOC_START
2456 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2457 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2458 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2459 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2460 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2461 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2462
41bd17a4 2463 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2464 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2465 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2466 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2467 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2468 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2469 instead of to your parents.

6b698a21 2508DOC_START
41bd17a4 2509 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2510 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2511 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2512 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2513
2514 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2515 for:
2516 * In-Transit objects
2517 * Hot Objects
2518 * Negative-Cached objects
2519
2520 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2521 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2522 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2523 priority.
2524
2525 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2526 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2527 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2528 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2529 not needed for in-transit objects.
2530
2531 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2532 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2533 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2534 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2535 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2536 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2537 objects.

41bd17a4 2599 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2600
41bd17a4 2601 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2602 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2603 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2604 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2605
41bd17a4 2606 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2607 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2608 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2609 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2610
41bd17a4 2611 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2612 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2613 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2614
41bd17a4 2615 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2616 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2617 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2640 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2641 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2642 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.

2659 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2660 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2661 subtract 20% and use that value.

41bd17a4 2670 The aufs store type:

41bd17a4 2672 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

41bd17a4 2690 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2691 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2692 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2693
41bd17a4 2694 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2695 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2696 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2697
41bd17a4 2698 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2699 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2700 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for

2709
41bd17a4 2710 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2711 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2712 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2713 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2714 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2715 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2716 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2717
41bd17a4 2718 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2719 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2720 this will be created by squid -z.

2726 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir
2727 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir to only store

2731 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir

2734 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2735 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2736
41bd17a4 2737 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

2933
2934 If ICAP is enabled, the following two codes become available (as
2935 well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
2936
2937 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
2938 transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
2939 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
2940 transaction is in progress.
2941
2942 icap::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response
2943 related to the HTTP transaction. Like
2944 <h, accepts an optional header name
2945 argument. Will not change semantics
2946 when multiple ICAP transactions per HTTP
2947 transaction are supported.
2948
2949 If adaptation is enabled the following two codes become available:
2950
2951 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2952 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2953 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2954 value is recorded as an integer number,
2955 representing response time of one or more
2956 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2957 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2958 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2959 logged individually but added to the
2960 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2961 adapt::all_trs.
2962
2963 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2964 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2965 individual transactions are never added
2966 together. Instead, all transaction response
2967 times are recorded individually.
2968
2969 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2970 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2971 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

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

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

41bd17a4 3235 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3236 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3237 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
3238 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

3881 The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests
3882 which are almost completed (less than 16 KB remaining). This
3883 may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy
3884 caches. Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and
3885 bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
3886 downloads.

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

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

4505 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to

4515 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4875 This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
4876
4877 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
4878 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
4879 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
4880 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
4881
4882 For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
4883 pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
4884
4885Example:
4886 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
4887 delay_access 1 deny all

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

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

0b0cfcf2 6053
5473c134 6054 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6055 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6056 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6057 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6058 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6059
5473c134 6060 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6061 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6062

6066 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6067
5473c134 6068 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6069 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6070 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6071 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6072 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6073
5473c134 6074 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6075 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6076 always_direct deny local-external
6077 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6078
5473c134 6079 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6080 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6081 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6082 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.

6102 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6103 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6104 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6105 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:

5473c134 6108 never_direct deny local-servers
6109 never_direct allow all
6110

6113
6114 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6115 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

a22e6cd3

6455 an opaque identifier which must be unique in squid.conf
6456
6457 vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache

6459 ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
6460 are not yet supported.
a22e6cd3
AR
6461
6462 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
6463 ICAP server and service location.
6464
6465 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6466 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6467 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6468 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6469 service_names differ.
6470
6471
6472 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6473 the following name=value options:
6474
6475 bypass=on|off|1|0
6476 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6477 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6478 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6479 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6480 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6481 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6482 returned to the HTTP client.
6483
6484 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6485
6486 routing=on|off|1|0
6487 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6488 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6489 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6490 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6491 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
6492 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
6493 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
6494 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
6495 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
6496 ends the current adaptation.
6497
6498 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
6499 response header is ignored.
6500
e6713f4e
AJ
6501 ipv6=on|off
6502 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
6503 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
6504 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.

6616 previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
6617 intact.

62c7f90e 6621
a22e6cd3

6622 The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point

6624
6625 If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
6626 bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
6627 transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
6628 another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
6629 transaction fails as well.
6630
6631 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
6632 is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
6633 ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
6634 Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that

6660 the previous service in the chain.
6661
6662 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
6663 not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service.
6664
6665 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
6666 does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
6667 "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).
6668
6669 The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
6670 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6671
6672 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
6673 essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
6674 other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
6675 is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

6747 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid

6899 Set to "none" to disable EDNS large packet support.
6900
6901 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
6902 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
6903 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
6904 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
6905 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
6906
6907 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
6908 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
6909 necessary.
6910
6911 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
6912 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
6913 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
6914 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
6915 sizes being advertised by Squid.
6916 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
6917 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

7388 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
7389 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
7390 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
7391 until all the child processes have been started.
7392 On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
7393 rounded to 1000.

7403 On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will
7404 reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
7405 proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
7406 In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
7407 desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
7408 Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.

7452 Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,...
7453
7454 Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,
7455
7456 cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7
7457
7458 affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first
7459 four even cores, starting with core #1.
7460
7461 CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for
7462 sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls.
7463
7464 Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged.
