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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

cccac0a2 598
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.

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

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

1219 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1220 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1221 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1222 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1223 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1224 for this reply.
1225
1226 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1227 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1228 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1229 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1230 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1231 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1232 and they will receive a partial reply.
1233
1234 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1235 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1236 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1237 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1238
1239 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1240 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1241 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus

2039 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
2040
2041 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2042
2043 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2044 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2045 For web servers this is usually 80
2046
2047 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2048 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2049 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2050
2051
2052 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2053
2054 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2055 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2056
2057
2058 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2059
2060 multicast-responder
2061 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2062 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2063 replies will be accepted from it.
2064
2065 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2066 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2067
2068 background-ping
2069 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2070 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2071 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2072
2073
2074 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2075
2076 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2077 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2078
2079
2080 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2081 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2082 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2083 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2084
18191440 2085 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2086
18191440 2087 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2088 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2089 only-clr.
2b94f655 2090
18191440
AJ
2091 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2092 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2093
18191440 2094 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2095 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2096 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2097
18191440 2098 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2099 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2100
2101
2102 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2103
2104 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2105 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2106
2107
2108 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2109 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2110 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2111
2112 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2113 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2114 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2115
2116 weighted-round-robin
2117 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2118 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2119 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2120 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2121 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2122
2123 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2124 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2125 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2126
2127 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2128
2129 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2130
2131 multicast-siblings
2132 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2133 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2134 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2135 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2136 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2137 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2138 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2139
2140
2141 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2142
2143 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2144 peer-selection mechanisms.
2145 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2146 larger weights are favored more.
2147 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2148 protocol is not in use.
2149
2150 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2151 times of parents.
2152 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2153 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2154 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2155
3c72389f
AJ
2156 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2157 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2158 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2159 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2160 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2161 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2162
2163 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2164 delay pools.
2165
2166 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2167 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2168 than the Squid default location.
2169
2170
2171 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2172
2173 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2174 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2175 is a web server.
2176
2177 forceddomain=name
2178 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2179 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2180 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2181 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2182
2183 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2184
2185 no-netdb-exchange
2186 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2187
2188
2189 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2190
2191 login=user:password
2192 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2193 requires proxy authentication.
2194
2195 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2196 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2197
11e4c5e5
AJ
2198 login=PASSTHRU
2199 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2200 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2201 without alteration to the peer.
2202 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2203
2204 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2205 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2206 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2207
2b94f655
AJ
2208 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2209 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2210
2b94f655
AJ
2211 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2212 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2213 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2214 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2215
2216 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2217 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2218 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2219 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2220 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2221
2222 login=*:password
2223 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2224 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2225 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2226 needed to identify each user.
2227 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2228 information which is added to the username. This can
2229 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2230 the login=username:password option above.
2231
9ca29d23
AJ
2232 login=NEGOTIATE
2233 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2234 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2235 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2236 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2237

9ca29d23
AJ
2242 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name

AJ
2253 connection-auth=on|off
2254 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2255 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2256 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2257 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2258 of the peer.

2289 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
2290 a more complete list.
2291
2292 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
2293 when verifying the peer certificate.
2294
2295 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
2296 use when verifying the peer certificate.

2308 to OpenSSL.
2309 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2310 Don't verify the peer certificate
2311 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2312
2313 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2314 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2315 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2316 used.
2317
2318 front-end-https
2319 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2320 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2321 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2322 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2323 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2324

2334 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2335
2336 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2337 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2338 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2339 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2340 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2341 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2342 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2343
2344 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2345 peer. see also
2346
2347 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2348 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2349 but different ports.
2350 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2351 directives to dentify the peer.
2352 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2353 peername ACL type.

2433LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
2434DOC_START
2435 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2436 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2437 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2438 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2439 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2440 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2441
41bd17a4 2442 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2443 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2444 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2445 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2446 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2447 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2448 instead of to your parents.

41bd17a4 2491 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2492 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2493 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2494 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2495
2496 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2497 for:
2498 * In-Transit objects
2499 * Hot Objects
2500 * Negative-Cached objects
2501
2502 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2503 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2504 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2505 priority.
2506
2507 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2508 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2509 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2510 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2511 not needed for in-transit objects.
2512
2513 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2514 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2515 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2516 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2517 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2518 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2519 objects.

41bd17a4 2581 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2582
41bd17a4 2583 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2584 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2585 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2586 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2587
41bd17a4 2588 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2589 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2590 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2591 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2592
41bd17a4 2593 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2594 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2595 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2596
41bd17a4 2597 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2598 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2599 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2622 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2623 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2624 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.

41bd17a4 2632 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2633
41bd17a4 2634 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always

2641 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2642 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2643 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2644
56fba4d0 2645 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which

41bd17a4 2672 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid

2678 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2679
41bd17a4 2680 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2681 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit

2691
41bd17a4 2692 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2693 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2694 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2695 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2696 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2697 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2698 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2699
41bd17a4 2700 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2701 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and

0976f8db 2718
41bd17a4 2719 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

2931 transaction is in progress.

2935 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
2936 meta-information from the last eCAP
2937 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
2938 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
2939 argument.
3ff65596
AR
2940
2941 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2942 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2943 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2944 value is recorded as an integer number,
2945 representing response time of one or more
2946 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2947 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2948 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2949 logged individually but added to the
2950 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2951 adapt::all_trs.
2952
2953 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2954 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2955 individual transactions are never added
2956 together. Instead, all transaction response
2957 times are recorded individually.
2958
2959 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2960 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2961 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3037 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3038 transaction.
3039
3040 The icap_log option format is:
3041 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3042 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3043
3044 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3045 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3046 features.
3047
3048 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3049 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3050 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3051 log line.
3052
3053 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3054 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3055 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3056 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3057 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3058 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3059 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3060
3061 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3062
3063 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3064
3065 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3066 option in Squid configuration file.
3067
3068 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3069
3070 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3071 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3072
3073 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3074 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3075
3076 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3077 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3078 the socket).
3079
bae917ac
CT
3080 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3081 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3082 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3083 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3084 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3085 computed.
3086
3ff65596
AR
3087 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3088 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3089 the ICAP transaction is created and
3090 stops when the transaction is completed.
3091 Similar to tr.
3092
3093 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3094 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3095 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3096 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3097 is received.
3098
3099 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3100 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3101 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3102 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3103 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3104 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.

3188 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3189 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object

5473c134 3191
41bd17a4 3192 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a

41bd17a4 3225 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3226 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3227 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other

3871 The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests
3872 which are almost completed (less than 16 KB remaining). This
3873 may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy
3874 caches. Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and
3875 bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
3876 downloads.

3879 quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
3880 then.

3882 If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,
3883 it will finish the retrieval.

3889 it will finish the retrieval.

3891 If you do not want any retrieval to continue after the client
3892 has aborted, set both 'quick_abort_min' and 'quick_abort_max'

4091DOC_START
4092 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4093 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4094 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4095 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4096 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4097 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4098
4099 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4100 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4101 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4102 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4103 as if dechunking was disabled.
4104
4105 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4106 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4107
4108 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4109 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4110 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4170 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4171 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4172 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4173 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4174 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4175 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4176 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4177 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4178 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4179 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4180 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4181 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4182 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4183 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4184 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4185 force fresh content.

41bd17a4 4310 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
4311 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
4312 more configurable. This new method creates a list of ACLs
4313 for each header, allowing you very fine-tuned header
4314 mangling.
cccac0a2 4315
41bd17a4 4316 You can only specify known headers for the header name.
4317 Other headers are reclassified as 'Other'. You can also
4318 refer to all the headers with 'All'.
cccac0a2 4319
41bd17a4 4320 For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old
4321 'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:
cccac0a2 4322
41bd17a4 4323 reply_header_access From deny all
4324 reply_header_access Referer deny all
4325 reply_header_access Server deny all

4327 reply_header_access WWW-Authenticate deny all
4328 reply_header_access Link deny all
cccac0a2 4329
41bd17a4 4330 Or, to reproduce the old 'http_anonymizer paranoid' feature
4331 you should use:

4513 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
4514 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
4515 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
4516 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
4517 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
4518 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one

4522 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
4523 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4844 The delay pool classes are:

4846 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4847 bucket.
4848
4849 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4850 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
b1fb3348 4851 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4852
4853 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4854 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
4855 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
4856 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
b1fb3348 4857 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4858
4859 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
4860 additional limit on a per user basis. This
4861 only takes effect if the username is established
4862 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
4863 http_access rules.
4864
4865 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
4866 external_acl's tag= reply).

4869 Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
4870 and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
4871 a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
4872
9edd9041 4873 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
4874 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
4875 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
4876 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

5823 For multicast peers, Squid regularly sends out ICP "probes" to
5824 count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast
5825 address. This value specifies how long Squid should wait to
5826 count all the replies. The default is 2000 msec, or 2
5827 seconds.

5977 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

5979 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
5980 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
5981
5982 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
5983 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
5984 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
5985 the first authentication related acl encountered
5986 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
5987 acl processed on the last http_access line.

0b0cfcf2 6080
5473c134 6081 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6082 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6083 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6084 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6085 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6086
5473c134 6087 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6088 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6089

5473c134 6092 acl FTP proto FTP
6093 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6094
5473c134 6095 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6096 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6097 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6098 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6099 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6100
5473c134 6101 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6102 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6103 always_direct deny local-external
6104 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6105
5473c134 6106 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6107 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6108 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6109 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6110
5473c134 6111 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6112 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache

6128
6129 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6130 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6131 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6132 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6133
6134 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
5473c134 6135 never_direct deny local-servers
6136 never_direct allow all
6137
6138 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6139 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6140
6141 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6142 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

6363 previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.

6366 HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.

6494
6495 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
6496 ICAP server and service location.
6497
6498 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6499 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6500 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6501 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6502 service_names differ.
6503
6504
6505 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6506 the following name=value options:
6507
6508 bypass=on|off|1|0
6509 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6510 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6511 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6512 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6513 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6514 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6515 returned to the HTTP client.
6516
6517 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6518
6519 routing=on|off|1|0
6520 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6521 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6522 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6523 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6524 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
6525 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
6526 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
6527 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
6528 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
6529 ends the current adaptation.
6530
6531 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
6532 response header is ignored.
6533
e6713f4e
AJ
6534 ipv6=on|off
6535 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
6536 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will

6539 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
6540 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
6541 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
6542 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
6543 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
6544 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
6545 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
6546
6547 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
6548 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
6549 workers may use a given service.
6550
6551 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
6552 otherwise it is set to "wait".
6553
6554
6555 max-conn=number
6556 Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless
6557 of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any.

6960 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
6961 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
6962 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
6963 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
6964 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
6965
6966 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
6967 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
6968 necessary.
6969
6970 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
6971 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
6972 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
6973 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
6974 sizes being advertised by Squid.
6975 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
6976 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

5473c134 7350 strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
7351 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
7352 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
7353 Request" message.
7354 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
7355 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
7356 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
7357 are in use.
7358 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
7359 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
7360 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
7361 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
7362 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
7363 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
7364 violation.
