cccac0a2 31 ----------------------------
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.

87 SMP-Related Macros
88
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.

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

247 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount

AJ
250 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
251 the maximum.

7353861b

253 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
254 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
255 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
256 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
257 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
258 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 259 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

266 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
267 password). There is no default.
268 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 269
41bd17a4 270 "credentialsttl" timetolive
271 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
272 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
273 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
274 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
275 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
276 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
277 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
278 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
279 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 280
41bd17a4 281 "casesensitive" on|off
282 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
283 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
284 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
285 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.

41bd17a4 288 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 289
41bd17a4 290 "program" cmdline
291 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
292 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
293 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
294 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
295 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
296 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
297 available as %m in the returned error page.

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

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

41bd17a4 599 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
600 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
601 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with
602 more details.

612 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
613 in error pages
614 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
615 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
616 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
617 %ea in logformat specifications
934b03fc 618
41bd17a4 619 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
620 each value in both requests and responses.
6a566b9c 621
41bd17a4 622 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
623 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
624 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
1e5562e3 625
41bd17a4 626 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
627 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
628 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

905 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
906 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
907 to see where that host received the request from. If the

AJ
908 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
909 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
910 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
911 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
912 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
913 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.

1217 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1218 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1219 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1220 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1221 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1222 for this reply.
1223
1224 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1225 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1226 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1227 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1228 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1229 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1230 and they will receive a partial reply.
1231
1232 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1233 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1234 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1235 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1236
1237 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1238 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1239 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus

1267 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1268 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1269 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1270 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1271 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1272 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1273
1274 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1275 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1276

1765 IPv6 Magic:

FC
1767 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6
1768 internets.
cc192b50 1769 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1770 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1771 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1772
1773 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1774 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1775 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1796 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used

2070
2071 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2072
2073 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2074 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2075 For web servers this is usually 80
2076
2077 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2078 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2079 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2080
2081
2082 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2083
2084 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2085 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2086
2087
2088 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2089
2090 multicast-responder
2091 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2092 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2093 replies will be accepted from it.
2094
2095 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2096 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2097
2098 background-ping
2099 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2100 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2101 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2102
2103
2104 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2105
2106 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2107 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2108
2109
2110 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2111 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2112 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2113 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2114
18191440 2115 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2116
18191440 2117 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2118 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2119 only-clr.
2b94f655 2120
18191440
AJ
2121 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2122 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2123
18191440 2124 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2125 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2126 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2127
18191440 2128 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2129 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2130
2131
2132 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2133
2134 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2135 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2136
2137
2138 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2139 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2140 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2141
2142 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2143 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2144 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2145
2146 weighted-round-robin
2147 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2148 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2149 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2150 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2151 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2152
2153 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2154 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2155 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2156
2157 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2158
2159 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2160
2161 multicast-siblings
2162 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2163 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2164 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2165 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2166 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2167 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2168 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2169
2170
2171 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2172
2173 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2174 peer-selection mechanisms.
2175 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2176 larger weights are favored more.
2177 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2178 protocol is not in use.
2179
2180 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2181 times of parents.
2182 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2183 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2184 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2185
3c72389f
AJ
2186 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2187 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2188 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2189 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2190 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2191 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2192
2193 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2194 delay pools.
2195
2196 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2197 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2198 than the Squid default location.
2199
2200
2201 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2202
2203 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2204 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2205 is a web server.
2206
2207 forceddomain=name
2208 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2209 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2210 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2211 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2212
2213 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2214
2215 no-netdb-exchange
2216 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2217
2218
2219 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2220
2221 login=user:password
2222 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2223 requires proxy authentication.
2224
2225 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2226 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2227
11e4c5e5
AJ
2228 login=PASSTHRU
2229 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2230 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2231 without alteration to the peer.
2232 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2233
2234 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2235 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2236 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2237
2b94f655
AJ
2238 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2239 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2240
2b94f655
AJ
2241 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2242 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2243 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2244 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2245
2246 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2247 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2248 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2249 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2250 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2251
2252 login=*:password
2253 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2254 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2255 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2256 needed to identify each user.
2257 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2258 information which is added to the username. This can
2259 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2260 the login=username:password option above.
2261
9ca29d23
AJ
2262 login=NEGOTIATE
2263 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2264 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2265 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2266 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2267
2268 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2269 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2270 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2271 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2272 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2273 used.
2274
2b94f655
AJ
2275 connection-auth=on|off
2276 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2277 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2278 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2279 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2280 of the peer.

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

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

2326 Accept certificates even if they fail to
2327 verify.
2328 NO_DEFAULT_CA
2329 Don't use the default CA list built in
2330 to OpenSSL.
2331 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2332 Don't verify the peer certificate
2333 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2334
2335 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2336 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2337 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2338 used.
2339
2340 front-end-https
2341 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2342 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2343 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2344 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2345 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2346
2347
2348 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2349
2350 connect-timeout=N
2351 A peer-specific connect timeout.
2352 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2353
2354 connect-fail-limit=N
2355 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2356 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2357
2358 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2359 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2360 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2361 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2362 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2363 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2364 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2365
2366 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2367 peer. see also
2368
2369 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2370 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2371 but different ports.
2372 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2373 directives to dentify the peer.
2374 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2375 peername ACL type.

41bd17a4 2438 Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now
11e3fa1c 2439 possible. You can treat some domains differently than the
41bd17a4 2440 default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
2441 Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
2442 should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
2443 applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.

2455LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
2456DOC_START
2457 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2458 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2459 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2460 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2461 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2462 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2463
41bd17a4 2464 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2465 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2466 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2467 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2468 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2469 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2470 instead of to your parents.

6b698a21 2509DOC_START
41bd17a4 2510 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2511 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2512 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2513 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2514
2515 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2516 for:
2517 * In-Transit objects
2518 * Hot Objects
2519 * Negative-Cached objects
2520
2521 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2522 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2523 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2524 priority.
2525
2526 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2527 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2528 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2529 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2530 not needed for in-transit objects.
2531
2532 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2533 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2534 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2535 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2536 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2537 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2538 objects.

41bd17a4 2612 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2613
41bd17a4 2614 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2615 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2616 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2617 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2618
41bd17a4 2619 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2620 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2621 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2622 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2623
41bd17a4 2624 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2625 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2626 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2627
41bd17a4 2628 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2629 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2630 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

2672 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2673 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2674 subtract 20% and use that value.

0976f8db 2710
41bd17a4 2711 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2712 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit

41bd17a4 2733 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2734 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2735 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2736 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2737 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2738 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2739 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2740
41bd17a4 2741 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2742 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and

5038f9d8 2959 If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as

2961
2962 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP

2964 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
2965 transaction is in progress.

3ff65596 2968
5038f9d8
AR
2969 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
2970 meta-information from the last eCAP
2971 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
2972 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
2973 argument.
3ff65596
AR
2974
2975 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2976 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2977 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2978 value is recorded as an integer number,
2979 representing response time of one or more
2980 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2981 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2982 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2983 logged individually but added to the
2984 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2985 adapt::all_trs.
2986
2987 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2988 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2989 individual transactions are never added
2990 together. Instead, all transaction response
2991 times are recorded individually.
2992
2993 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2994 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2995 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3071 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3072 transaction.
3073
3074 The icap_log option format is:
3075 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3076 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3077
3078 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3079 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3080 features.
3081
3082 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3083 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3084 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3085 log line.
3086
3087 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3088 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3089 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3090 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3091 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3092 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3093 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3094
3095 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3096
3097 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3098
3099 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3100 option in Squid configuration file.
3101
3102 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3103
3104 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3105 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3106
3107 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3108 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3109
3110 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3111 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3112 the socket).
3113
bae917ac
CT
3114 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3115 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3116 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3117 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3118 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3119 computed.
3120
3ff65596
AR
3121 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3122 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3123 the ICAP transaction is created and
3124 stops when the transaction is completed.
3125 Similar to tr.
3126
3127 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3128 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3129 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3130 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3131 is received.
3132
3133 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3134 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3135 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3136 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3137 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3138 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
3139
3140 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
3141
3142 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
3143
3144 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
3145
3146 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
3147 definition, is called icap_squid:

3222 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3223 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
3224 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
5473c134 3225
41bd17a4 3226 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a

41bd17a4 3259 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3260 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3261 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other

4125DOC_START
4126 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4127 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4128 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4129 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4130 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4131 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4132
4133 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4134 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4135 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4136 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4137 as if dechunking was disabled.
4138
4139 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4140 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4141
4142 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4143 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4144 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4204 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4205 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4206 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4207 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4208 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4209 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4210 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4211 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4212 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4213 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4214 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4215 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4216 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4217 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4218 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4219 force fresh content.

41bd17a4 4334 WARNING: Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
4335 this feature could make you liable for problems which it
4336 causes.
934b03fc 4337
41bd17a4 4338 This option only applies to reply headers, i.e., from the
4339 server to the client.

4342 direction.
6b53c392 4343
41bd17a4 4344 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
4345 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
4346 more configurable. This new method creates a list of ACLs
4347 for each header, allowing you very fine-tuned header
4348 mangling.
cccac0a2 4349
41bd17a4 4350 You can only specify known headers for the header name.
4351 Other headers are reclassified as 'Other'. You can also
4352 refer to all the headers with 'All'.
cccac0a2 4353
41bd17a4 4354 For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old
4355 'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:
cccac0a2 4356
41bd17a4 4357 reply_header_access From deny all

4547 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
4548 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
4549 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up

4551 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
4552 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one

4557 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4878 The delay pool classes are:
4879
4880 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4881 bucket.
4882
4883 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4884 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
b1fb3348 4885 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4886
4887 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4888 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
4889 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
4890 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
b1fb3348 4891 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4892
4893 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
4894 additional limit on a per user basis. This
4895 only takes effect if the username is established
4896 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
4897 http_access rules.

4899 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
4900 external_acl's tag= reply).

4902
4903 Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
4904 and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
4905 a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
4906
9edd9041 4907 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
4908 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
4909 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
4910 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

4924 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
4925 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
4926 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
4927 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).

5011 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
5012 with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
5013 individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
9edd9041 5014 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
5015 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down

6011 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

6014 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
6015
6016 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
6017 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
6018 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
6019 the first authentication related acl encountered
6020 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
6021 acl processed on the last http_access line.

5473c134 6115 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6116 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6117 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6118 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6119 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6120
5473c134 6121 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6122 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6123

5473c134 6126 acl FTP proto FTP
6127 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6128
5473c134 6129 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6130 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6131 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6132 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6133 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6134
5473c134 6135 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6136 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6137 always_direct deny local-external
6138 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6139
5473c134 6140 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6141 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6142 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6143 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6144
5473c134 6145 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6146 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache

6162
6163 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6164 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6165 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6166 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6167

5473c134 6169 never_direct deny local-servers
6170 never_direct allow all
6171
6172 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6173 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6174
6175 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6176 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

6344 The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates
6345 when establishing a new TCP connection with an ICAP service. If
6346 the number of failures exceeds the limit, the ICAP service is
6347 not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its
8277060a 6348 OPTIONS.
5473c134 6349
6350 A negative value disables the limit. Without the limit, an ICAP
6351 service will not be considered down due to connectivity failures
6352 between ICAP OPTIONS requests.

6353
6354 Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
6355 value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm
6356 is approximate because Squid does not remember individual
6357 errors but groups them instead, splitting the option
6358 value into ten time slots of equal length.
6359
6360 When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no
6361 effect on service failure expiration.
6362
6363 Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings
6364 using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option
6365 setting.

6397 previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.

6530 ICAP server and service location.
6531
6532 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6533 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6534 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6535 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6536 service_names differ.
6537
6538
6539 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6540 the following name=value options:
6541
6542 bypass=on|off|1|0
6543 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6544 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6545 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6546 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6547 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6548 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6549 returned to the HTTP client.
6550
6551 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6552
6553 routing=on|off|1|0
6554 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6555 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6556 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6557 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6558 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
e2851fe7
AR
6559 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
6560 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
6561 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.
6562
6563 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
6564 vectoring points in their natural processing order.
a22e6cd3

6566 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services

6574 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
6575 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
6576 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
6577 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
6578 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
6579 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
6580 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
6581
6582 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
6583 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
6584 workers may use a given service.
6585
6586 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
6587 otherwise it is set to "wait".
6588
6589
6590 max-conn=number
6591 Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless
6592 of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any.

6834 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
6835 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
6836 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
6837 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
6838 with the master transaction.
6839
6840 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
6841 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
6842
6843 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
6844 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
6666da11
AR
6845 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
6846
6847 An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
6848 shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API
6849 to provide an option with a name specified in
6850 adaptation_masterx_shared_names.

6995 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
6996 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
6997 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
6998 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
6999 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
7000
7001 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
7002 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
7003 necessary.
7004
7005 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
7006 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
7007 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
7008 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
7009 sizes being advertised by Squid.
7010 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
7011 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

7383 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
7384 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
7385 Request" message.
7386 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
7387 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
7388 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
7389 are in use.
7390 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
7391 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
7392 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
7393 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
7394 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
7395 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
7396 violation.
