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. | |

41bd17a4 | 169 | OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION |
5473c134 | 170 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
171 | COMMENT_END | |
172 | ||
41bd17a4 | 173 | NAME: auth_param |
174 | TYPE: authparam | |
2f1431ea | 175 | IFDEF: USE_AUTH |
5817ee13 | 176 | LOC: Auth::TheConfig |
cccac0a2 | 177 | DEFAULT: none |
178 | DOC_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. | |
48d54e4d AJ |
246 | |
247 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount | |
64d2327b AJ |
248 | run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure. |
249 | Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet | |
48d54e4d AJ |
250 | traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to |
251 | the maximum. | |
252 | ||
7353861b HN |
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. |

0fdafae7 | 262 | |
41bd17a4 | 263 | "realm" realmstring |
264 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
265 | client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
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. | |

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). | |

426 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5). | |
41bd17a4 | 427 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to |
428 | process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it | |
429 | down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow) | |
430 | network you are likely to need lots of authenticator | |
431 | processes. | |

433 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount | |
64d2327b AJ |

435 | Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet | |
48d54e4d AJ |
436 | traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to |
437 | the maximum. | |

442 | If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the | |
443 | Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to | |
444 | off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on | |
445 | the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are | |

897 | Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to | |
898 | find the original source of a request. | |
899 | ||
900 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies | |
901 | before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a | |
902 | comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the | |
903 | rightmost address being the most recent. | |
904 | ||
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 | |
2bf4e8fa 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. | |
3d674977 AJ |
914 | |
915 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
916 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
57d76dd4 | 917 | be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay |
3d674977 | 918 | pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client, |
96d64448 AJ |

925 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: |
926 | ||
927 | Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header | |
928 | can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid | |
929 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the | |
930 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
931 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
932 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
933 | ||
934 | For example: | |
935 | ||
936 | acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 | |
937 | acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com | |

1215 | LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize | |
1216 | DOC_START | |
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 | |
1240 | the size of your largest error page. | |
1241 | ||
1242 | If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be | |
1243 | no limit imposed. | |

5b0f5383 | 1265 | |
1266 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
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 | ||
1277 | The -a command line option may be used to specify additional | |
1278 | port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will | |
1279 | be plain proxy ports with no options. | |
1280 | ||
1281 | You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines. | |
1282 | ||

1674 | connections with, based on where the reply was sourced. For |
1675 | platforms using netfilter, allows you to set a netfilter mark | |
1676 | value instead of, or in addition to, a TOS value. | |
7172612f | 1677 | |
575cb927 AJ |
1678 | TOS values really only have local significance - so you should |
1679 | know what you're specifying. For more information, see RFC2474, | |
1680 | RFC2475, and RFC3260. | |
7172612f | 1681 | |
425de4c8 AJ |
1682 | The TOS/DSCP byte must be exactly that - a octet value 0 - 255. Note that |
1683 | in practice often only multiples of 4 is usable as the two rightmost bits | |
1684 | have been redefined for use by ECN (RFC 3168 section 23.1). | |

1686 | Mark values can be any unsigned 32-bit integer value. | |
7172612f | 1687 | |

1688 | This setting is configured by setting the following values: |
1689 | ||
1690 | tos|mark Whether to set TOS or netfilter mark values | |
575cb927 AJ |
1691 | |
1692 | local-hit=0xFF Value to mark local cache hits. | |
1693 | ||
1694 | sibling-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from sibling peers. | |
1695 | ||
1696 | parent-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from parent peers. | |
1697 | ||
425de4c8 AJ |
1698 | miss=0xFF Value to mark cache misses. Takes precedence |
1699 | over the preserve-miss feature (see below). | |
575cb927 | 1700 | |
425de4c8 AJ |
1701 | The TOS variant of the following features are only possible on Linux |
1702 | and require your kernel to be patched with the TOS preserving ZPH | |
1703 | patch, available from http://zph.bratcheda.org | |
1704 | No patch is needed to preserve the netfilter mark, which will work | |
1705 | with all variants of netfilter. | |
575cb927 | 1706 | |
575cb927 | 1707 | disable-preserve-miss |
425de4c8 AJ |
1708 | This option disables the preservation of the TOS or netfilter |
1709 | mark. By default, the existing TOS or netfilter mark value of | |
1710 | the response coming from the remote server will be retained | |
1711 | and masked with miss-mark. | |
1712 | NOTE: in the case of a netfilter mark, the mark must be set on | |
1713 | the connection (using the CONNMARK target) not on the packet | |
1714 | (MARK target). | |
575cb927 AJ |
1715 | |
1716 | miss-mask=0xFF | |
425de4c8 AJ |
1717 | Allows you to mask certain bits in the TOS or mark value |
1718 | received from the remote server, before copying the value to | |
1719 | the TOS sent towards clients. | |
1720 | Default for tos: 0xFF (TOS from server is not changed). | |
1721 | Default for mark: 0xFFFFFFFF (mark from server is not changed). | |
1722 | ||
1723 | All of these features require the --enable-zph-qos compilation flag | |
1724 | (enabled by default). Netfilter marking also requires the | |
1725 | libnetfilter_conntrack libraries (--with-netfilter-conntrack) and | |
1726 | libcap 2.09+ (--with-libcap). | |

1765 | IPv6 Magic: | |
1766 | ||
b3567eb5 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. | |
1776 | ||
55458070 AJ |
1777 | # IPv6 destination test along with a dummy access control to perofrm the required DNS |

6db78a1a AJ |
1790 | |
1791 | WARNING: | |
1792 | 'dst ipv6' bases its selection assuming DIRECT access. | |
1793 | If peers are used the peername ACL are needed to select outgoing | |
1794 | address which can link to the peer. | |
1795 | ||
6b185b50 AJ |
1796 | 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used |
1797 | previously in the http_access rules to locate the destination IP. | |
1798 | Some more magic may be needed for that: | |
1799 | http_access allow to_ipv6 !all | |

41bd17a4 | 2056 | To specify other caches in a hierarchy, use the format: |
2b94f655 | 2057 | |
41bd17a4 | 2058 | cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options] |
2b94f655 | 2059 | |
41bd17a4 | 2060 | For example, |
2b94f655 | 2061 | |
41bd17a4 | 2062 | # proxy icp |
2063 | # hostname type port port options | |
2064 | # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- ----------- | |
2b94f655 | 2065 | cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 default |
41bd17a4 | 2066 | cache_peer sib1.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only |
2067 | cache_peer sib2.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only | |
2b94f655 AJ |
2068 | cache_peer example.com parent 80 0 no-query default |
2069 | cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0 | |
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. | |
2281 | ||
2282 | ||
2283 | ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ==== | |
2284 | ||
2285 | ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS. | |
2286 | ||
2287 | sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate | |
2288 | A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to | |
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 | |
2305 | to this peer. | |
2306 | ||
2307 | ssloptions=... Specify various SSL engine options: | |
2308 | NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2 | |
2309 | NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3 | |
2310 | NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1 | |
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 | ||
2320 | sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when | |
2321 | verifying the peer certificate. | |
2322 | ||
2323 | sslflags=... Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation: | |
2324 | ||
41bd17a4 | 2325 | DONT_VERIFY_PEER |
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. | |
2376 | ||
b0758e04 AJ |
2377 | no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding |
2378 | requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead. | |
2379 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
2380 | proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally. |

cccac0a2 | 2394 | |
41bd17a4 | 2395 | For example, specifying |

41bd17a4 | 2397 | cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu |
cccac0a2 | 2398 | |
41bd17a4 | 2399 | has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to |
2400 | 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a | |
2401 | server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname | |
2402 | with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects | |
2403 | NOT in that domain. | |
cccac0a2 | 2404 | |
41bd17a4 | 2405 | NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host, |
2406 | either on the same or separate lines. | |
2407 | * When multiple domains are given for a particular | |
2408 | cache-host, the first matched domain is applied. | |
2409 | * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried | |
2410 | for all requests. | |
2411 | * There are no defaults. | |
2412 | * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL | |

2454 | TYPE: time_t | |
2455 | LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer | |
2456 | DOC_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. | |

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. | |

2602 | The cache replacement policy parameter determines which | |

6b698a21 | 2604 | |
41bd17a4 | 2605 | lru : Squid's original list based LRU policy |

2607 | heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging | |
2608 | heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap | |
6b698a21 | 2609 | |
41bd17a4 | 2610 | Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this. |
7f7db318 | 2611 | |
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. | |

0976f8db | 2645 | |
41bd17a4 | 2646 | You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the |
2647 | cache among different disk partitions. | |
0976f8db | 2648 | |
41bd17a4 | 2649 | Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs" |
2650 | is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems | |
2651 | see the --enable-storeio configure option. | |
0976f8db | 2652 | |
41bd17a4 | 2653 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
2654 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
2655 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. | |
2656 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid | |
2657 | process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. | |
0976f8db | 2658 | |

2659 | In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option |
2660 | and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each | |
2661 | worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory. | |
2662 | ||
41bd17a4 | 2663 | The ufs store type: |
0976f8db | 2664 | |
41bd17a4 | 2665 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
2666 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 2667 | |
41bd17a4 | 2668 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] |
0976f8db | 2669 | |
41bd17a4 | 2670 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
2671 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
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 | 2675 | |
56fba4d0 | 2676 | 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 2677 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. |
0976f8db | 2678 | |
56fba4d0 | 2679 | 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 2680 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default |
2681 | is 256. | |
0976f8db | 2682 | |
41bd17a4 | 2683 | The aufs store type: |
7f7db318 | 2684 | |
41bd17a4 | 2685 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
2686 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
2687 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |

41bd17a4 | 2693 | The diskd store type: |
38f9c547 | 2694 | |
41bd17a4 | 2695 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
2696 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
2697 | disk-I/O. | |

0976f8db | 2700 | |
41bd17a4 | 2701 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 2702 | |
41bd17a4 | 2703 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
2704 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2705 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 2706 | |
41bd17a4 | 2707 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
2708 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2709 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
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 | |
2713 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
2714 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
2715 | time. | |

2720 | ||
2e55f083 | 2721 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e2851fe7 AR |
2722 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots, |
2723 | one entry per slot. The database size is specified in MB. The | |
2724 | slot size is specified in bytes using the max-size option. See | |
2725 | below for more info on the max-size option. | |

41bd17a4 | 2727 | The coss store type: |
0976f8db | 2728 | |
db263d62 AJ |
2729 | NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for |
2730 | production use and has thus been removed from this release. | |
2731 | We hope that it can be made usable again soon. | |
2732 | ||
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 | |
2743 | this will be created by squid -z. | |
0976f8db | 2744 | |
41bd17a4 | 2745 | Common options: |
0976f8db | 2746 | |
41bd17a4 | 2747 | no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir |
0976f8db | 2748 | |
b6662ffd AJ |
2749 | min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir |
2750 | will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir to only store | |
2751 | large objects (e.g. aufs) while other storedirs are optimized | |
2752 | for smaller objects (e.g. COSS). Defaults to 0. | |
2753 | ||
00a6e30a HN |
2754 | max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir |
2755 | supports. It is used to select the cache_dir to store the object. | |
41bd17a4 | 2756 | Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order |
2757 | the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the | |
2758 | ones with no max-size specification last. | |
0976f8db | 2759 | |
41bd17a4 | 2760 | Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ, |
2761 | which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure | |
2762 | option. | |

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

2960 | well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option): |
2961 | ||
2962 | icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP | |
2963 | transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP | |
2964 | ACLs are checked and when ICAP | |
2965 | transaction is in progress. | |
2966 | ||
5038f9d8 | 2967 | If adaptation is enabled the following three codes become available: |
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: | |
3148 | ||
3149 | logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A - | |

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. | |

4162 | extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly | |

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. | |

4546 | DOC_START | |
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 | |
4550 | in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without | |
4551 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |
4552 | because of a poor client implementation). The default is one | |
4553 | day, 1440 minutes. | |
7d90757b | 4554 | |
41bd17a4 | 4555 | NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any |
4556 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |
4557 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |
4558 | If you seem to have many client connections tying up | |
4559 | filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout, | |
4560 | request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values. | |

41bd17a4 | 4568 | Some clients may shutdown the sending side of their TCP |

9edd9041 | 4999 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |

9edd9041 | 5001 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |

9edd9041 | 5010 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
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 | |
5016 | large downloads more significantly: | |

5473c134 | 6010 | |
6011 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |
6012 | do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last | |
6013 | acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists | |
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. | |
3af10ac0 AR |
6022 | - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service, |
6023 | the acl name is the corresponding eCAP or ICAP service_name. | |

5473c134 | 6028 | |
aed9a15b AJ |
6029 | By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx |
6030 | may be specified by prefixing the file name with the code and a colon. | |
6031 | e.g. 404:ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED | |
6032 | ||
5473c134 | 6033 | Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection |
6034 | by specifying TCP_RESET. | |

5473c134 | 6075 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |

5473c134 | 6095 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |

6097 | going direct fails set this to on. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 6098 | |
5473c134 | 6099 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
6100 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
6101 | fails. | |
6102 | ||
6103 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
6104 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |

0b0cfcf2 | 6114 | |
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 | 6124 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 6125 | |
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 | |
b3567eb5 | 6147 | the replies see the 'cache' directive. |

6161 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
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 | ||
6168 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 6169 | never_direct deny local-servers |
6170 | never_direct allow all | |

6172 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
6173 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |

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 | |

8277060a CT |
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 | |

7d90757b | 6520 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
6521 | service_name: ID |
6522 | an opaque identifier which must be unique in squid.conf | |
6523 | ||
6524 | vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache | |
f3db09e2 | 6525 | This specifies at which point of transaction processing the |
6526 | ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points | |
6527 | are not yet supported. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
6528 | |
6529 | service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath | |
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 AR |
6565 | |
6566 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
6567 | response header is ignored. | |
6568 | ||
e6713f4e AJ |
6569 | ipv6=on|off |
6570 | Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems | |
6571 | is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will | |
6572 | make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service. | |
6573 | ||
2dba5b8e CT |
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. | |

6701 | The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first | |

6703 | applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the | |

6705 | intact. | |
62c7f90e | 6706 | |

6707 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |
6708 | not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
62c7f90e | 6709 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
6710 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
6711 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
6712 | ||
6713 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
6714 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
6715 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
6716 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
6717 | transaction fails as well. | |
6718 | ||
6719 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
6720 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
6721 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |
6722 | Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that | |

6747 | applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of | |
6748 | the previous service in the chain. | |

6750 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
6751 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
6752 | ||
6753 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
6754 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
6755 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |
6756 | ||
6757 | The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point | |
6758 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
6759 | ||
6760 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
6761 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |
6762 | other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure | |

7103 | DOC_START | |
7104 | Standard practice with DNS is to lookup either A or AAAA records | |
7105 | and use the results if it succeeds. Only looking up the other if | |
7106 | the first attempt fails or otherwise produces no results. | |
7107 | ||
7108 | That policy however will cause squid to produce error pages for some | |
7109 | servers that advertise AAAA but are unreachable over IPv6. | |
7110 | ||
7111 | If this is ON squid will always lookup both AAAA and A, using both. | |
7112 | If this is OFF squid will lookup AAAA and only try A if none found. | |
7113 | ||
7114 | WARNING: There are some possibly unwanted side-effects with this on: | |
7115 | *) Doubles the load placed by squid on the DNS network. | |
7116 | *) May negatively impact connection delay times. | |

5473c134 | 7177 | If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified |
7178 | limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free() | |
7179 | requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc | |
7180 | library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps | |
7181 | objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set | |
7182 | memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your | |
7183 | configuration will use less memory. | |
ec1245f8 | 7184 | |
89646bd7 | 7185 | If set to none, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there |
5473c134 | 7186 | will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping. |
ec1245f8 | 7187 | |
5473c134 | 7188 | To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set |
70be1349 | 7189 | memory_pools_limit to 0 or none. Set memory_pools to "off" instead. |
5473c134 | 7190 | |
7191 | An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account | |
7192 | when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per | |
7193 | object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of | |
7194 | reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library. | |

13aeac35 | 7534 | Number of main Squid processes or "workers" to fork and maintain. |
007d775d AR |
7535 | 0: "no daemon" mode, like running "squid -N ..." |
7536 | 1: "no SMP" mode, start one main Squid process daemon (default) | |
13aeac35 AR |
7537 | N: start N main Squid process daemons (i.e., SMP mode) |
7538 | ||

7539 | In SMP mode, each worker does nearly all what a single Squid daemon |
7540 | does (e.g., listen on http_port and forward HTTP requests). | |

7543 | NAME: cpu_affinity_map |
7544 | TYPE: CpuAffinityMap | |
7545 | LOC: Config.cpuAffinityMap | |
7546 | DEFAULT: none | |
7547 | DOC_START | |
7548 | Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,... | |
7549 | ||
7550 | Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example, | |
7551 | ||
7552 | cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7 | |
7553 | ||
7554 | affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first | |
7555 | four even cores, starting with core #1. | |
7556 | ||
7557 | CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for | |
7558 | sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls. | |
7559 | ||
7560 | Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged. | |
