12 This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
13 This documentation can also be found online at:
14 http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
15
16 You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
17 FAQ and other documentation:
18 http://www.squid-cache.org/
19 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
20 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
21
22 This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
23 happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should
24 leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
25
26 In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
27 while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
28 - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.

33 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
5945964d 34 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
592a09dc 35 supported.
36
37 For example,
38
39 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
40
41 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
42 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
43 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
44 configuration files.

58 Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters
59
60 Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other
61 special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use
62 the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or
63 disable that support.
64
65 Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external
66 files using the syntax:
67 parameters("/path/filename")
68 For example:
69 acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt")
70

71 Conditional configuration
72
73 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
74 depend on conditions:
75
76 if <CONDITION>
77 ... regular configuration directives ...
78 [else
79 ... regular configuration directives ...]
80 endif
81
82 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
83 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
84 configuration directives.
85
5945964d
AJ
86 NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
87
5735d30b
AR
88 These individual conditions types are supported:
89
90 true
91 Always evaluates to true.
92 false
93 Always evaluates to false.
94 <integer> = <integer>
95 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

98 SMP-Related Macros
99
100 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
101
102 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
103 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
104
105 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
106 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
6fe8c876
AJ
107 across all Squid processes of the current service instance.
108
109 ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance
110 name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line.

112 Logformat Macros
113
114 Logformat macros can be used in many places outside of the logformat
115 directive. In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros,
116 where they are supported. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) when
117 the transaction does not yet have enough information and a value is needed.
118
119 There is no definitive list of what tokens are available at the various
120 stages of the transaction.
121
122 And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet
123 committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report
124 such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash
125 ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested.

448DOC_START
449 Whether to ensure that all required shared memory is available by
450 "locking" that shared memory into RAM when Squid starts. The
451 alternative is faster startup time followed by slightly slower
452 performance and, if not enough RAM is actually available during
453 runtime, mysterious crashes.
454
455 SMP Squid uses many shared memory segments. These segments are
456 brought into Squid memory space using an mmap(2) system call. During
457 Squid startup, the mmap() call often succeeds regardless of whether
458 the system has enough RAM. In general, Squid cannot tell whether the
459 kernel applies this "optimistic" memory allocation policy (but
460 popular modern kernels usually use it).
461
462 Later, if Squid attempts to actually access the mapped memory
463 regions beyond what the kernel is willing to allocate, the
464 "optimistic" kernel simply kills Squid kid with a SIGBUS signal.
465 Some of the memory limits enforced by the kernel are currently
466 poorly understood: We do not know how to detect and check them. This
467 option ensures that the mapped memory will be available.
468
469 This option may have a positive performance side-effect: Locking
470 memory at start avoids runtime paging I/O. Paging slows Squid down.
471
472 Locking memory may require a large enough RLIMIT_MEMLOCK OS limit,
473 CAP_IPC_LOCK capability, or equivalent.

490 revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year).

66c583dc 510 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 511
41bd17a4 512 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
513 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
514 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
515 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
516 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
517 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
518 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
519 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
520 program entry).
cccac0a2 521
41bd17a4 522 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
523 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
524 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
525 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 526
41bd17a4 527 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
528 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
529 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
530 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
531 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
532 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
533 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
534 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
535 type acl.
cccac0a2 536
41bd17a4 537 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
538 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
539 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
540 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.

555 "key_extras" format
556 Specifies a string to be append to request line format for
557 the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain
558 spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro
559 can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if
560 the helper request is sent before the required macro
561 information is available to Squid.
562
563 By default, Squid uses request formats provided in
564 scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials).
565
566 The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials
567 cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to
568 autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g.,
569 when user authentication depends on http_port).
570
571 Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For
572 example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently
573 in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat
574 every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL
575 and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also
576 force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP
577 changes.
578
579 "realm" string
580 Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be
581 reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is
582 commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for
583 their username and password.
584
585 For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server".
586 For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory.

592 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If
593 you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process
594 a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When
595 password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are
596 likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
5269ec0e 597
66c583dc
AJ
598 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact
599 amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup
600 and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to
601 idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N
602 free above those traffic needs up to the maximum.
5269ec0e 603
66c583dc
AJ
604 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests
605 the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers
606 who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a
607 number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a
608 channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing
609 multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel
610 without waiting for the response.
cccac0a2 611

612 Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper
613 supports the input format with channel-ID fields.
cccac0a2 614
6082a0e2
EB
615 The queue-size=N option sets the maximum number of queued
616 requests to N. The default maximum is 2*numberofchildren. Squid
617 is allowed to temporarily exceed the configured maximum, marking
618 the affected helper as "overloaded". If the helper overload
619 lasts more than 3 minutes, the action prescribed by the
620 on-persistent-overload option applies.
621
622 The on-persistent-overload=action option specifies Squid
623 reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper
624 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number
625 of queued requests determines whether the helper is overloaded
626 (see the queue-size option).
627
628 Two actions are supported:
629
630 die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior.
631
632 ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was
633 immediately submitted, and the helper immediately
634 replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect
635 on the already queued and in-progress helper requests.

641 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using
642 the NTLM or Negotiate schemes then you can try setting this

843 FORMAT is a series of %macro codes. See logformat directive for a full list

845 being tested data may not be available and thus some %macro expand to '-'.

1457 # The server name(s) are the certificate subject name(s), regardless
1458 # of what the client has requested. If the server certificate is

1572 * HTTP message Forwarded header, or
1573 * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or
1574 * PROXY protocol connection header.
1575
1576 This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol
1577 connections received from a port flagged with require-proxy-header.
1578 It is checked only once after TCP connection setup.
1579
1580 A deny match results in TCP connection closure.
1581
1582 An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding
1583 TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers.
1584 If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information
1585 to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL
1586 checks, logging, etc.

1627 On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields.
1628 If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow
1629 match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value.
1630 The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be

5b0f5383 1970LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
1971DOC_START
1972 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1973 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1974 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1975 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1976 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1977 for this reply.
1978
1979 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1980 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1981 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1982 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1983 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1984 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1985 and they will receive a partial reply.
1986
1987 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1988 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1989 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1990 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1991
1992 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1993 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1994 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
1995 the size of your largest error page.

2396 Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid
2397 listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various
2398 ways to specify the listening address and mode.
2399
2400 Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options]
2401
2402 WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen
2403 limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not
2404 currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not
2405 even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying!
2406
2407 Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests
2408 with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives
2409 actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs).
2410
2411 Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or
2412 wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP
2413 responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages
2414 are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers
2415 between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to
2416 examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP
2417 mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example,
2418 http_access and adaptation_access directives are used.
2419
2420 Modes:
2421
3cc0f4e7 2422 intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is
8a2f40dd
AR
2423 determined based on the intended destination of the
2424 intercepted connection.
2425
3cc0f4e7
AR
2426 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing
2427 connections using the client IP address.
2428 NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port.
2429
8a2f40dd
AR
2430 By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the
2431 FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER
2432 command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying.
2433
2434 Options:
2435
3cc0f4e7
AR
2436 name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to
2437 the port address. Usable with myportname ACL.

2709 Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
2710 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
2711 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
2712 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
2713 and Request-URI components:
2714
2715 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
2716 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
2717 For the two host names to match, both must be either IP

2745 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
2746 to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
2747 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
2748 security policy and sandboxing protections.
2749
2750 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
2751 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
2752 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
2753 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
2754 be different from the connected IP and approved origin.

3264 The maximum this may be safely set to is 32.
3265
3266 The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your
3267 tuning.
3268
3269 startup=N
3270
3271 Sets the minimum number of processes to spawn when Squid
3272 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
3273 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
3274
3275 Starting too few children temporary slows Squid under load while it
3276 tries to spawn enough additional processes to cope with traffic.
3277
3278 idle=N
3279
3280 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
3281 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing
3282 processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum
3283 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.

3284
3285 concurrency=
3286
3287 The number of requests each certificate validator helper can handle in

3288 parallel. A value of 0 indicates the certficate validator does not
3289 support concurrency. Defaults to 1.
4a77bb4e
CT
3290
3291 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
3292 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
3293 a request ID in front of the request/response. The request
3294 ID from the request must be echoed back with the response
3295 to that request.

41bd17a4 3319 cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options]
2b94f655 3320
41bd17a4 3321 For example,
2b94f655 3322
41bd17a4 3323 # proxy icp

AJ
3330 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
3331
3332 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
3333
3334 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
3335 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
3336 For web servers this is usually 80
3337
3338 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
3339 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
3340 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
3341
3342
3343 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
3344
3345 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
3346 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
3347
3348
3349 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
3350
3351 multicast-responder
3352 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
3353 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
3354 replies will be accepted from it.
3355
3356 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
3357 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
3358
3359 background-ping
3360 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
3361 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
3362 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
3363
3364
3365 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
3366
3367 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
3368 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
3369
3370
3371 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
3372 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
3373 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
3374 list of options described below.
2b94f655 3375
18191440 3376 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 3377
18191440 3378 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 3379 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 3380 only-clr.
2b94f655 3381
18191440
AJ
3382 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
3383 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 3384
18191440 3385 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
3386 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
3387 they do not result from PURGE requests.
3388
18191440 3389 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
3390 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
3391
3392
3393 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
3394
3395 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
3396 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
3397
3398
3399 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
3400 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
3401 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
3402
3403 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3404 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
3405 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3406
3407 weighted-round-robin
3408 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3409 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
3410 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
3411 Usually used for background-ping parents.
3412 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3413
3414 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
3415 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
3416 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
3417
3418 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
3419
3420 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
3421
3422 multicast-siblings
3423 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
3424 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2e9993e1 3425 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
8a368316
AJ
3426 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
3427 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
3428 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
3429 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
3430
3431
3432 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
3433
3434 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
3435 peer-selection mechanisms.
3436 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
3437 larger weights are favored more.
3438 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
3439 protocol is not in use.
3440
3441 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
3442 times of parents.
3443 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
3444 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
3445 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
3446
3c72389f
AJ
3447 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
3448 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
3449 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
3450 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
3451 hosts, you must configure other group members as
3452 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
3453
3454 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
3455 delay pools.
3456
3457 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
3458 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
3459 than the Squid default location.
3460
3461
de03b596
FC
3462 ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
3463
3464 carp-key=key-specification
3465 use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
3466 the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
3467 scheme, host, port, path, params
3468 Order is not important.
3469
2b94f655
AJ
3470 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
3471
3472 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
3473 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
3474 is a web server.
3475
3476 forceddomain=name
3477 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
3478 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
3479 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
3480 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
3481
3482 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
3483
3484 no-netdb-exchange
3485 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
3486
3487
3488 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
3489
3490 login=user:password
3491 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3492 requires proxy authentication.
3493
3494 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
3495 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
3496
11e4c5e5
AJ
3497 login=PASSTHRU
3498 Send login details received from client to this peer.
3499 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
3500 without alteration to the peer.
3501 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
3502
3503 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
3504 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
3505 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 3506
2b94f655
AJ
3507 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
3508 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 3509
2b94f655
AJ
3510 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
3511 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
3512 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
3513 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
3514
3515 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
3516 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
3517 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
3518 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
3519 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
3520
3521 login=*:password
3522 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
3523 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
3524 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
3525 needed to identify each user.
3526 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
3527 information which is added to the username. This can
3528 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
3529 the login=username:password option above.
3530
9ca29d23
AJ
3531 login=NEGOTIATE
3532 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3533 requires a secure proxy authentication.
3534 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
3535 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
3536
63f03f79
PL
3537 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
3538 clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
3539 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
3540
9ca29d23
AJ
3541 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
3542 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3543 requires a secure proxy authentication.
3544 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
3545 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
3546 used.
3547

3551
2b94f655
AJ
3552 connection-auth=on|off
3553 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
3554 connection oriented authentication, and any such
3555 challenges received from there should be ignored.
3556 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
3557 of the peer.
3558
9825b398
AJ
3559 auth-no-keytab
3560 Do not use a keytab to authenticate to a peer when
3561 login=NEGOTIATE is specified. Let the GSSAPI
3562 implementation determine which already existing
3563 credentials cache to use instead.

AJ
3661 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
3662
3663 connect-timeout=N
3664 A peer-specific connect timeout.
3665 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
3666
3667 connect-fail-limit=N
3668 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
e8dca475
CT
3669 it is marked as down. Standby connection failures
3670 count towards this limit. Default is 10.
2b94f655
AJ
3671
3672 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
3673 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
a5bb0c26
AR
3674 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use
3675 of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way
3676 to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to
3677 deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer:
3678 acl fromPeer ...
3679 cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer
2b94f655 3680
e8dca475
CT
3681 max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid
3682 may open to this peer, including already opened idle
3683 and standby connections. There is no peer-specific
3684 connection limit by default.
3685
3686 A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new
3687 requests unless a standby connection is available.
3688
3689 max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent
3690 connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit,
3691 and there are idle persistent connections to the peer,
3692 the peer may not be selected because the limiting code
3693 does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle
3694 connections.
3695
3696 standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an
3697 UP peer, available for requests when no idle
3698 persistent connection is available (or safe) to use.
3699 By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained.
3700 N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any).
3701
3702 At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP
3703 standby connections until there are N connections
3704 available and then replenishes the standby pool as
3705 opened connections are used up for requests. A used
3706 connection never goes back to the standby pool, but
3707 may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool
3708 shared by all peers and origin servers.
3709
3710 Squid never opens multiple new standby connections
3711 concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes
3712 flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few
3713 standby connections should be sufficient in most cases
3714 to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use
3715 connection.
3716
3717 Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout.
3718 For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be
3719 configured to accept and keep them open longer than
3720 the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize
3721 race conditions typical to idle used persistent
3722 connections. Default request_timeout and
3723 server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a
3724 configuration.
2b94f655
AJ
3725
3726 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
3727 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
3728 but different ports.
3729 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
a5bb0c26 3730 directives to identify the peer.

3753 For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the
3754 cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the
3755 cache_peer hostname parameter.
3756
3757 This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but
3758 does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are
3759 contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms
3760 (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation).
3761
3762 If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted
3763 for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and
3764 will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves
3765 the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given
3766 peer wins for that peer.
3767
3768 The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
3769 matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives
3770 for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a
3771 good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
3772 together.
3773
3774 A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times
3775 for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms
3776 may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks
3777 may be optimized away in future Squid versions.
3778
3779 This clause only supports fast acl types.

3809DOC_START
3810 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
3811 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
3812 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
3813 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
3814 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
3815 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 3816
41bd17a4 3817 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
3818 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
3819 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
3820 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
3821 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
3822 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

41bd17a4 3849 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
3850 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
3851 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
3852 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
3853
3854 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
3855 for:
3856 * In-Transit objects
3857 * Hot Objects
3858 * Negative-Cached objects
3859
3860 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
3861 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
3862 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
3863 priority.
3864
3865 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
3866 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
3867 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
3868 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
3869 not needed for in-transit objects.
3870
3871 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
3872 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
3873 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
3874 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
3875 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
3876 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
3877 objects.

3879 If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared
3880 cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much
3881 local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory
3882 cache, see memory_cache_shared.

3906 The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace

3908 cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
3909 objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory

3913 following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
3914 multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
3915 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
3916 and GCC-style atomic operations).
3917
3918 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
3919 that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
3920 shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.

0976f8db 3972
41bd17a4 3973 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
3974 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
3975 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
3976 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 3977
41bd17a4 3978 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
3979 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
3980 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
3981 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 3982

4123 A single entry occupies one or more slots.
e2851fe7 4124
3e1dfe3d
AR
4125 If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
4126 process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
4127 I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers
4128 are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
4129 for the IpcIo disk I/O module.

4131 swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
4132 reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
4133 will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
4134 default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
4135 enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
4136 blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
4137 expected swap wait time.
4138
df881a0f 4139 max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
1e614370 4140 the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
df881a0f 4141 would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
1e614370
DK
4142 delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
4143 not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
4144 since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
4145 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
4146 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
df881a0f
AR
4147 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
4148 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
4149 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
4150 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
4151 and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
4152 enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.

4154 slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for
4155 storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least
4156 one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so
4157 increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while
4158 decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a
4159 multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to
4160 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and
4161 smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than

4197 How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response
4198 object will fit into more than one.
4199
4200 Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size
4201 and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect
4202 the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered
4203 cache_dir.
4204
4205 Algorithms:
4206
4207 least-load
4208
4209 This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir
4210 sizes and disk speeds.
4211
4212 The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
4213 When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
4214 the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
4215
4216 When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
4217 have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
4218 capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
4219 may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
4220
4221
4222 round-robin
4223
4224 This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
4225 disk sizes.
4226
4227 Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
4228 cache_dir is used.
4229
4230 Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
4231 to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
4232 max-size parameters.
4233
4234 Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
4235 disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
4236 I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.
4237
29a238a3
AR
4238 If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other
4239 limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such
4240 cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias
4241 towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave
4242 cache_dir lines from different groups. For example:
4243
4244 store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin
4245 cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000
4246 cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999
4247 cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000
4248 cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999
4249 cache_dir rock /hdd3 ... min-size=100000
4250 cache_dir rock /ssd3 ... max-size=99999

4261 descriptors are open.

4633 being retried or repeated, its time is not

4670 Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions.
4671 If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every
4672 matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are:
4673
4674 access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
4675 access_log none [acl acl ...]
4676

fb0c2f17
NH
4679
4680 In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character
4681 and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always

82b7abe3

4689 ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
4690
4691 logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or
4692 defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
4693 to 'squid'.
4694
4695 buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log
4696 records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not
4697 keep more than the specified size and, hence,
4698 should flush records before the buffer becomes
4699 full to avoid overflows under normal
4700 conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
4701 module-dependent though). The on-error option
4702 controls overflow handling.
4703
4704 on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
4705 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
4706 affected log records. The default 'die' action
4707 kills the affected worker. The drop action
4708 support has not been tested for modules other
4709 than tcp.
4710
efc23871
AJ
4711 rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to
4712 make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default
4713 is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting
4714 rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation,
4715 but the log files are still closed and re-opened.
4716 This will enable you to rename the logfiles
4717 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

4764 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per

4767 The icap_log option format is:
4768 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
4769 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
4770
4771 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
4772 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
4773 features.
4774
4775 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
4776 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
4777 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
4778 log line.
4779

4780 ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context,
4781 HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded
4782 in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP
4783 messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used
4784 for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example:
4785
4786 http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to
4787 the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are
4788 HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP
4789 response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them
4790 (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD).
4791
4792 http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP
4793 service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular
4794 REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during
4795 request satisfaction in REQMOD).
4796
4797 ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages.
4798
4799 Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP
4800 message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message
4801 (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When
4802 computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid
4803 either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see
4804 code-specific documentation for details.
4805
4806 For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently
4807 computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not
4808 in use at all.

4810 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:

4835 the ICAP transaction is created and
4836 stops when the transaction is completed.

4838
4839 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
4840 timer starts when the first ICAP request
4841 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
4842 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
4843 is received.

5609DOC_START
5610 The maximum number of StoreID helper processes to spawn. If you limit
5611 it too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of
5612 requests, slowing it down. If you allow too many they will use RAM
5613 and other system resources noticably.
5614
5615 The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your
5616 tuning.
5617
5618 startup=
5619
5620 Sets a minimum of how many processes are to be spawned when Squid
5621 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
5622 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
5623
5624 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
5625 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.
5626
5627 idle=
5628
5629 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
5630 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing
5631 processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum
5632 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.
5633
5634 concurrency=
5635
5636 The number of requests each storeID helper can handle in
5637 parallel. Defaults to 0 which indicates the helper
5638 is a old-style single threaded program.
5639
5640 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
5641 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
5642 an ID in front of the request/response. The ID from the request
5643 must be echoed back with the response to that request.

5644

5646

5647 Sets the maximum number of queued requests to N. The default maximum
5648 is 2*numberofchildren. If the queued requests exceed queue size and
5649 redirector_bypass configuration option is set, then redirector is bypassed.
5650 Otherwise, Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the configured maximum,
5651 marking the affected helper as "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts
5652 more than 3 minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload
5653 option applies.
5654
5655 on-persistent-overload=action
5656
5657 Specifies Squid reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper
5658 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number of queued
5659 requests determines whether the helper is overloaded (see the queue-size
5660 option).
5661
5662 Two actions are supported:
5663
5664 die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior.
5665
5666 ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was
5667 immediately submitted, and the helper immediately
5668 replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect
5669 on the already queued and in-progress helper requests.

0976f8db 6273
41bd17a4 6274 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
6275 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
3b07476b
CT
6276 more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
6277 removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
6278
6279 This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
6280 headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
6281 or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
6282 detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
6283 terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
6284
6285 The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
6286 fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
6287 qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
6288
6289 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
6290 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
6291 on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
6292 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
6293
6294 Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
6295 If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
6296 go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
6297 removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
6298 if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
6299 set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.

6534 When enabled, instead of forwarding each concurrent request for
6535 the same URL, Squid just sends the first of them. The other, so
6536 called "collapsed" requests, wait for the response to the first
6537 request and, if it happens to be cachable, use that response.
6538 Here, "concurrent requests" means "received after the first
6539 request headers were parsed and before the corresponding response
6540 headers were parsed".
6541
6542 This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed
6543 forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look
6544 cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded
6545 individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable
6546 content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly
6547 cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the
6548 gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh
6549 requests] outweigh losses from such delays.
6550
6551 Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests
6552 received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache
6553 revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular
6554 requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing
6555 is currently disabled for Squid instances containing SMP-aware
6556 disk or memory caches and for Vary-controlled cached objects.

6568 collapsing opportunities. Using excessively large values
6569 wastes shared memory.
6570
6571 The limit should be significantly larger then the number of
6572 concurrent collapsible entries one wants to share. For a cache
6573 that handles less than 5000 concurrent requests, the default
6574 setting of 16384 should be plenty.
6575
6576 If the limit is set to zero, it disables sharing of collapsed
6577 forwarding between SMP workers.

7110
7111 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
7112 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
7113 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
7114 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).

7135 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
7136 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
0b68481a 7137 description of delay_class.
9edd9041 7138
0b68481a 7139 For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
6e7502cc 7140 delay_class pool 1
0b68481a 7141 delay_parameters pool aggregate
9edd9041 7142
7143 For a class 2 delay pool:

0b68481a 7145 delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
9edd9041 7146

0b68481a 7149 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
9edd9041 7150
7151 For a class 4 delay pool:
6e7502cc 7152 delay_class pool 4
0b68481a 7153 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
9edd9041 7154
7155 For a class 5 delay pool:

0b68481a 7157 delay_parameters pool tagrate
9edd9041 7158
0b68481a 7159 The option variables are:
9edd9041 7160
7161 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the

9edd9041 7166 (class 1, 2, 3).
7167
fdb47ac6 7168 individual the speed limit parameters for the individual
9edd9041 7169 buckets (class 2, 3).
7170
fdb47ac6 7171 network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets
9edd9041 7172 (class 3).
7173

fdb47ac6 7177 tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets
9edd9041 7178 (class 5).
7179
7180 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
7181 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
7182 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
7183 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.

7185 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
7186
7187
9edd9041 7188 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
0b68481a 7189 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec
9edd9041 7190 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

9edd9041 7197

9edd9041 7199 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
0b68481a

7200 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
7201 with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
7202 individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
9edd9041 7203 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
7204 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
7205 large downloads more significantly:

9edd9041 7212
9edd9041 7213
7214 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will

7534 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
7535 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
7536 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
7537 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
7538 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
7539 using the wccp2_service_info option.

7541 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,

5473c134 8059 Normally the ICP query timeout is determined dynamically. But
8060 sometimes it can lead to very small timeouts, even lower than

8062 Use this option to put an lower limit on the dynamic timeout
8063 value. Do NOT use this option to always use a fixed (instead
8064 of a dynamic) timeout value. To set a fixed timeout see the

8317 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

8320 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
8321
8322 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
8323 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
8324 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
8325 the first authentication related acl encountered
8326 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
8327 acl processed on the last http_access line.

8426 This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the
8427 client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new

8476 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs

8711 Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
8712 value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm

8890 icaps://servername:port/servicepath
8891 The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and
8892 service location (default port is 1344, connections are not
8893 encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP
8894 services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by
8895 default, on port 11344).
a22e6cd3
AR
8896
8897 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
8898 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
8899 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
8900 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
8901 service_names differ.
8902

8906 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
8907 the following name=value options:
8908
8909 bypass=on|off|1|0
8910 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
8911 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
8912 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
8913 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
8914 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
8915 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
8916 returned to the HTTP client.
8917
8918 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
8919
8920 routing=on|off|1|0
8921 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
8922 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
8923 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
8924 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
8925 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
e2851fe7
AR
8926 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
8927 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
8928 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.

8930 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
8931 vectoring points in their natural processing order.

8945 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
8946 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
8947 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
8948
8949 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
8950 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
8951 workers may use a given service.

8953 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
8954 otherwise it is set to "wait".
8955

9325 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
9326 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
9327 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
9328 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
9329 with the master transaction.
9330
9331 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
9332 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
9333
9334 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
9335 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
6666da11
AR
9336 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
9337
9338 An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the

9340 to provide an option with a name specified in
9341 adaptation_masterx_shared_names.

9361 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
9362 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
9363
9364 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
9365 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
9366
9367 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
9368 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
9369 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
9370 example:
9371
9372 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
9373 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
9374
9375 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret
9376 adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret
9377
9378 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
9379 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
9380
9381 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
9382 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
9383 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes
9384 and double quotes. For example,

9486 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
9487 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
9488 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
9489
9490 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
9491 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
9492 necessary.
9493
9494 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
9495 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
9496 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
9497 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
9498 sizes being advertised by Squid.
9499 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
9500 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

9975 HTTP clients may send a pipeline of 1+N requests to Squid using a
9976 single connection, without waiting for Squid to respond to the first
9977 of those requests. This option limits the number of concurrent
9978 requests Squid will try to handle in parallel. If set to N, Squid
9979 will try to receive and process up to 1+N requests on the same
9980 connection concurrently.

10035 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
10036 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
10037 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
10038 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
10039 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
10040 until all the child processes have been started.

10088DEFAULT_DOC: Deny, unless rules exist in squid.conf.
10089DOC_START
10090 This option controls how Squid handles data upload requests from HTTP
10091 and FTP agents that require a "Please Continue" control message response
10092 to actually send the request body to Squid. It is mostly useful in
10093 adaptation environments.
10094
10095 When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue"
10096 header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the
10097 request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or
10098 peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some
10099 broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may
10100 decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However,
10101 that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not
10102 responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message
10103 to the request sender yet!
10104
10105 An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150
10106 (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the
10107 request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces
10108 the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells
10109 Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms
10110 that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior.

10116DEFAULT_DOC: Open new connections for forwarding requests Squid cannot retry safely.
10117LOC: Config.accessList.serverPconnForNonretriable
10118DOC_START
10119 This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection
10120 reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful
10121 in environments where opening new connections is very expensive
10122 (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server
10123 certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent
10124 connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems.
10125
10126 HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST).
10127 Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT).
10128 By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new
10129 connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent
10130 connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable
10131 request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes
10132 the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response
10133 from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway)
10134 with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail.
10135
10136 If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection
10137 (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then
10138 Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry.
10139
10140 This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle
10141 persistent connections (if any).
10142
10143 This clause only supports fast acl types.
