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

56 | NAME: http_port ascii_port | |
57 | TYPE: http_port_list | |
58 | DEFAULT: none | |
59 | LOC: Config.Sockaddr.http | |
60 | DOC_START | |
61 | Usage: port [options] | |
62 | hostname:port [options] | |
63 | 1.2.3.4:port [options] | |
64 | ||
65 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
66 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
67 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
68 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
7f7db318 | 69 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific |
cccac0a2 | 70 | address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address' |
71 | option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific | |
72 | address, so you can use the port number alone. | |
73 | ||
7f7db318 | 74 | If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you |
cccac0a2 | 75 | probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. |
76 | ||
77 | The -a command line option will override the *first* port | |
78 | number listed here. That option will NOT override an IP | |
79 | address, however. | |
80 | ||
81 | You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines. | |
82 | ||
116c6cca | 83 | Options: |
84 | ||
85 | transparent Support for transparent proxies | |
86 | ||
87 | accel Accelerator mode. Also set implicit by the other | |
88 | accelerator directives | |
89 | ||
90 | vhost Accelerator mode using Host header for virtual | |
91 | domain support | |
92 | ||
93 | vport Accelerator with IP based virtual host support | |
94 | ||
95 | vport=NN As above, but uses specified port number rather | |
96 | than the http_port number | |
97 | ||
98 | defaultsite= Main web site name for accelerators | |
99 | ||
100 | protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with. | |
101 | Defaults to http | |
cccac0a2 | 102 | |
103 | If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal | |
7f7db318 | 104 | and an external interface we recommend you to specify the |
cccac0a2 | 105 | internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be |
106 | visible on the internal address. | |

121 | The socket address where Squid will listen for HTTPS client | |
122 | requests. | |
123 | ||
124 | This is really only useful for situations where you are running | |
125 | squid in accelerator mode and you want to do the SSL work at the | |
126 | accelerator level. | |
127 | ||
128 | You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines, | |
129 | each with their own SSL certificate and/or options. | |
7f7db318 | 130 | |

116c6cca | 137 | with. Defaults to https |
cccac0a2 | 138 | |
139 | cert= Path to SSL certificate (PEM format) | |
7f7db318 | 140 | |
cccac0a2 | 141 | key= Path to SSL private key file (PEM format) |
142 | if not specified, the certificate file is | |
143 | assumed to be a combined certificate and | |

339 | This tag specifies a list of multicast groups which your server | |

341 | ||
342 | NOTE! Be very careful what you put here! Be sure you | |
343 | understand the difference between an ICP _query_ and an ICP | |
344 | _reply_. This option is to be set only if you want to RECEIVE | |
345 | multicast queries. Do NOT set this option to SEND multicast | |
346 | ICP (use cache_peer for that). ICP replies are always sent via | |
347 | unicast, so this option does not affect whether or not you will | |
348 | receive replies from multicast group members. | |
349 | ||
350 | You must be very careful to NOT use a multicast address which | |
351 | is already in use by another group of caches. | |
352 | ||
353 | If you are unsure about multicast, please read the Multicast | |
354 | chapter in the Squid FAQ (http://www.squid-cache.org/FAQ/). | |

372 | DOC_START | |
373 | udp_incoming_address is used for the ICP socket receiving packets | |
374 | from other caches. | |
375 | udp_outgoing_address is used for ICP packets sent out to other | |
376 | caches. | |
377 | ||
378 | The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address. | |
379 | ||
f939c0ca | 380 | A udp_incoming_address value of 0.0.0.0 indicates Squid |
381 | should listen for UDP messages on all available interfaces. | |

383 | If udp_outgoing_address is set to 255.255.255.255 (the default) | |
7f7db318 | 384 | it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address. Only |
cccac0a2 | 385 | change this if you want to have ICP queries sent using another |
386 | address than where this Squid listens for ICP queries from other | |
387 | caches. | |

420 | ||
421 | icp_port: Used for querying neighbor caches about | |
422 | objects. To have a non-ICP neighbor | |

7f7db318 | 458 | |
459 | use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched | |
cccac0a2 | 460 | from this cache should not be saved locally. |
461 | ||
462 | use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent. | |
463 | The weight must be an integer. The default weight | |
464 | is 1, larger weights are favored more. | |
465 | ||
466 | use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to | |
467 | be subtracted from round trip times of parents. | |
468 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
469 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
7f7db318 | 470 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. |
cccac0a2 | 471 | |
472 | use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use | |
473 | when sending an ICP queries to this address. | |
474 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. | |
475 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
476 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
477 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below. | |
478 | ||
479 | use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this | |
480 | neighbor. | |
481 | ||
482 | use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this | |
7f7db318 | 483 | neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor |
484 | round trip time updated and is usually used in | |
cccac0a2 | 485 | conjunction with weighted-round-robin. |
486 | ||
487 | use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can | |
488 | be used as a "last-resort." You should probably | |
489 | only use 'default' in situations where you cannot | |
490 | use ICP with your parent cache(s). | |
491 | ||
492 | use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which | |
493 | should be used in a round-robin fashion in the | |
494 | absence of any ICP queries. | |
495 | ||
7f7db318 | 496 | use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents |
497 | which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the | |
498 | frequency of each parent being based on the round trip | |
499 | time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
cccac0a2 | 500 | Usually used for background-ping parents. |
501 | ||
502 | use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should | |
7f7db318 | 503 | be used as a CARP array. The requests will be |
cccac0a2 | 504 | distributed among the parents based on the CARP load |
505 | balancing hash function based on their weigth. | |
506 | ||
7f7db318 | 507 | 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer |
cccac0a2 | 508 | is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will |
509 | not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies | |
510 | will be accepted from it. | |
511 | ||
512 | 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS | |
513 | replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes | |
514 | and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
515 | ||
516 | use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from | |
517 | this neighbor. | |
518 | ||
519 | 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP | |
520 | RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor. | |
521 | ||
522 | use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor | |
523 | from influencing the delay pools. | |
524 | ||
525 | use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup | |
526 | proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication. | |
527 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
7f7db318 | 528 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. |
cccac0a2 | 529 | |
530 | use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against | |
531 | the upstream proxy. This will pass the users credentials | |
532 | as they are to the peer proxy. This only works for the | |
533 | Basic HTTP authentication sheme. Note: To combine this | |
534 | with proxy_auth both proxies must share the same user | |
535 | database as HTTP only allows for one proxy login. | |
7f7db318 | 536 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy |
cccac0a2 | 537 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION |
538 | ||
539 | use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the | |
540 | upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant | |
541 | to be used when the peer is in another administrative | |
542 | domain, but it is still needed to identify each user. | |
543 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
544 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
545 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
546 | the login=username:password option above. | |
547 | ||
548 | use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer | |
549 | specific connect timeout (also see the | |
550 | peer_connect_timeout directive) | |
551 | ||
552 | use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache | |
553 | digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from | |
554 | the specified URL rather than the Squid default | |
555 | location. | |
556 | ||
557 | use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached | |
558 | when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily | |
559 | useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To | |
560 | extensive use of this option may result in forwarding | |
561 | loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings | |
562 | with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on | |
563 | requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the | |
564 | source is a peer) | |
565 | ||
566 | use 'max-conn' to limit the amount of connections Squid | |
567 | may open to this peer. | |
568 | ||
569 | use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries | |
570 | to the neighbor. You probably also want to | |
571 | set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130. | |
7f7db318 | 572 | |
cccac0a2 | 573 | 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as |
574 | a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups. | |
575 | ||
576 | use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same | |
7f7db318 | 577 | host but different ports. This name can be used to |
cccac0a2 | 578 | differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar |
579 | directives. | |
580 | ||
581 | use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header | |
582 | of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator | |
583 | setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain | |
584 | name and using redirectors to feed this domainname | |
585 | is not feasible. | |
586 | ||
7f7db318 | 587 | use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should |
cccac0a2 | 588 | bs SSL/TLS encrypted. |
589 | ||
590 | use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client | |
591 | SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer. | |
592 | ||
593 | use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL | |
594 | key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not | |
7f7db318 | 595 | specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a |
cccac0a2 | 596 | combined file containing both the certificate and the key. |
597 | ||
598 | use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use | |
599 | when connecting to this peer | |
600 | 1 = automatic (default) | |
601 | 2 = SSL v2 only | |
602 | 3 = SSL v3 only | |
603 | 4 = TLS v1 only | |

609 | NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2 | |
610 | NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3 | |
611 | NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1 | |
612 | See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for | |
613 | a more complete list. | |

7f7db318 | 626 | NO_DEFAULT_CA |
cccac0a2 | 627 | Don't use the default CA list built in |
628 | to OpenSSL. | |
629 | DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN | |
7f7db318 | 630 | Don't verify the peer certificate |
cccac0a2 | 631 | matches the server name |

634 | in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness | |
635 | of the received peer certificate. If not specified the | |
636 | peer hostname will be used. | |
637 | ||
638 | use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On" | |
639 | header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend infront | |
640 | of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details | |
7f7db318 | 641 | on this header. If set to auto the header will |
cccac0a2 | 642 | only be added if the request is forwarded as a https:// |

752 | For Multicast peers, Squid regularly sends out ICP "probes" to | |
753 | count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast | |

764 | DOC_START | |
765 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |
766 | as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this | |
767 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
768 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
769 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
770 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
771 | ||
772 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP | |
773 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
774 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
775 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
776 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |
777 | will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers | |

842 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
843 | ||
844 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
845 | for: | |
846 | * In-Transit objects | |
847 | * Hot Objects | |
848 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
849 | ||
850 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
851 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
852 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
853 | priority. | |
854 | ||
855 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
856 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
857 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
858 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
859 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
860 | ||
861 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
862 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
863 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
864 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
865 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
866 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |

993 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
994 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
995 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
996 | ||
997 | Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents | |
998 | cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based | |
999 | replacement policies. | |
1000 | ||
1001 | NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase | |
1002 | the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to | |
1003 | to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA. | |

cccac0a2 | 1035 | cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options] |
cf5cc17e | 1036 | |
cccac0a2 | 1037 | You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the |
1038 | cache among different disk partitions. | |
8e8d4f30 | 1039 | |
cccac0a2 | 1040 | Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs" |
1041 | is built by default. To eanble any of the other storage systems | |
1042 | see the --enable-storeio configure option. | |
934b03fc | 1043 | |
cccac0a2 | 1044 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
1045 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
7f7db318 | 1046 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. |
cccac0a2 | 1047 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid |
1048 | process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. | |
1e5562e3 | 1049 | |
cccac0a2 | 1050 | The ufs store type: |
1051 | ||
1052 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always | |
1053 | been there. | |
1054 | ||
1055 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
1056 | ||
1057 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this | |
1058 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
1059 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
1060 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
1061 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
1062 | ||
1063 | 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which | |
1064 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. | |
1065 | ||
1066 | 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which | |
1067 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default | |
1068 | is 256. | |
1069 | ||
1070 | The aufs store type: | |
1071 | ||
1072 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing | |
1073 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
1074 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |
1075 | ||
1076 | cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
1077 | ||
1078 | see argument descriptions under ufs above | |
1079 | ||
1080 | The diskd store type: | |
1081 | ||
1082 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a | |
1083 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
1084 | disk-I/O. | |
1085 | ||
1086 | cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n] | |
1087 | ||
1088 | see argument descriptions under ufs above | |
1089 | ||
1090 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid | |
1091 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
1092 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
1093 | ||
1094 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid | |
1095 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
44f991b5 | 1096 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 |
cccac0a2 | 1097 | |
af9ad249 | 1098 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
1099 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
1100 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
1101 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
1102 | time. | |
1103 | ||
1a224843 | 1104 | The coss store type: |
1105 | ||
1106 | block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's. | |
1107 | Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers | |
1108 | are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum | |
1109 | size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which | |
1110 | leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note | |
7f7db318 | 1111 | you should not change the coss block size after Squid |
1a224843 | 1112 | has written some objects to the cache_dir. |
1113 | ||
cccac0a2 | 1114 | Common options: |
1115 | ||
1116 | read-only, this cache_dir is read only. | |
1117 | ||
1118 | max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports. | |
1119 | It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object. | |
1120 | Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order | |
1121 | the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the | |
1122 | ones with no max-size specification last. | |
1a224843 | 1123 | |
7f7db318 | 1124 | Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ, |
1a224843 | 1125 | which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure |
1126 | option. | |

1682 | ||
7f7db318 | 1683 | The order authentication prompts are presented to the client_agent |
cccac0a2 | 1684 | is dependant on the order the scheme first appears in config file. |
1685 | IE has a bug (it's not rfc 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
1686 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure schemes | |
1687 | are presented. For now use the order in the file below. If other browsers | |
1688 | have difficulties (don't recognise the schemes offered even if you are using | |
7f7db318 | 1689 | basic) either put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting |
cccac0a2 | 1690 | out their program entry). |
1691 | ||
1692 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be shutdown | |
1693 | by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on the fly and | |
1694 | activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a different helper, | |
1695 | but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
1696 | ||
1697 | === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. === | |
7f7db318 | 1698 | |
cccac0a2 | 1699 | "program" cmdline |
1700 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a | |
1701 | program reads a line containing "username password" and replies | |
1702 | "OK" or "ERR" in an endless loop. If you use an authenticator, | |
1703 | make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth. By default, the | |
1704 | basic authentication sheme is not used unless a program is specified. | |
1705 | ||
1706 | If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication, | |
1707 | jump over to the ../auth_modules/NCSA directory and | |
1708 | type: | |
1709 | % make | |
1710 | % make install | |
1711 | ||
1712 | Then, set this line to something like | |
1713 | ||
1714 | auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd | |
1715 | ||
1716 | "children" numberofchildren | |
1717 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
1718 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
1719 | process a backlog of usercode/password verifications, slowing | |
1720 | it down. When password verifications are done via a (slow) | |
1721 | network you are likely to need lots of authenticator | |
1722 | processes. | |
1723 | auth_param basic children 5 | |
1724 | ||
1725 | "concurrency" concurrency | |
1726 | The number of concurrent requests the helper can process. | |
1727 | The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports | |
1728 | one request at a time. | |
1729 | auth_param basic concurrency 0 | |
1730 | ||
1731 | "realm" realmstring | |
1732 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
1733 | client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
1734 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
1735 | password). There is no default. | |
1736 | auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
1737 | ||
1738 | "credentialsttl" timetolive | |
1739 | Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated | |
1740 | username:password pair is valid for - in other words how | |
1741 | often the helper program is called for that user. Set this | |
1742 | low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note | |
7f7db318 | 1743 | setting this high does not impact your susceptability |
cccac0a2 | 1744 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password |
1745 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
1746 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |
1747 | use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule. | |
1748 | ||
64658378 | 1749 | "casesensitive" on|off |
1750 | Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are | |
1751 | case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both | |
1752 | lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This | |
1753 | makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar. | |
1754 | auth_param basic casesensitive off | |
1755 | ||
cccac0a2 | 1756 | === Parameters for the digest scheme follow === |
1757 | ||
1758 | "program" cmdline | |
1759 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such | |
1760 | a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and | |
4c9fa5d5 | 1761 | replies with the appropriate H(A1) value base64 encoded or |
1762 | ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists. | |
1763 | See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1). | |

1765 | By default, the digest authentication is not used unless a | |
1766 | program is specified. | |

cccac0a2 | 1771 | % make |

1785 | auth_param digest children 5 | |

1787 | "realm" realmstring | |
1788 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
1789 | client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
1790 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
1791 | password). There is no default. | |
1792 | auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
1793 | ||
1794 | "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval | |
1795 | Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued | |
1796 | to client_agent's are checked for validity. | |
1797 | ||
1798 | "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval | |
1799 | Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be | |
1800 | valid for. | |
1801 | ||
1802 | "nonce_max_count" number | |
1803 | Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be | |
1804 | used. | |
1805 | ||
1806 | "nonce_strictness" on|off | |
1807 | Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behaviour | |
1808 | for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when | |
1809 | useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1 | |
1810 | (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off. | |
1811 | ||
1812 | "check_nonce_count" on|off | |
1813 | This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check | |
1814 | completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in | |
1815 | certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the | |
1816 | nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks. | |
1817 | ||
1818 | "post_workaround" on|off | |
1819 | This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends | |
1820 | an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing | |
1821 | the same nonce as aquired earlier on a GET request. | |
1822 | ||
1823 | ||
1824 | === NTLM scheme options follow === | |
1825 | ||
1826 | "program" cmdline | |
1827 | Specify the command for the external ntlm authenticator. | |
bdf7e1b4 | 1828 | Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with |
1829 | the browser via Squid until authentication is completed. | |
cccac0a2 | 1830 | If you use an ntlm authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl |

1842 | processes. | |
1843 | auth_param ntlm children 5 | |
1844 | ||
1845 | "max_challenge_reuses" number | |
1846 | The maximum number of times a challenge given by a ntlm | |
1847 | authentication helper can be reused. Increasing this number | |
1848 | increases your exposure to replay attacks on your network. | |

2332 | DOC_START | |
7f7db318 | 2333 | The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to |
6b698a21 | 2334 | remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache |
2335 | from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up | |
2336 | in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without | |
2337 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |
2338 | because of a poor client implementation). The default is one | |
2339 | day, 1440 minutes. | |
2340 | ||
2341 | NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any | |
2342 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |
2343 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |
2344 | If you seem to have many client connections tying up | |
2345 | filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout, | |
2346 | request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values. | |

2354 | Some clients may shutdown the sending side of their TCP | |
2355 | connections, while leaving their receiving sides open. Sometimes, | |
2356 | Squid can not tell the difference between a half-closed and a | |
2357 | fully-closed TCP connection. By default, half-closed client | |
2358 | connections are kept open until a read(2) or write(2) on the | |
2359 | socket returns an error. Change this option to 'off' and Squid | |
2360 | will immediately close client connections when read(2) returns | |
2361 | "no more data to read." | |

2717 | DOC_START | |
2718 | A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause an ident | |
2719 | (RFC 931) lookup to be performed for this request. For | |
2720 | example, you might choose to always perform ident lookups | |
2721 | for your main multi-user Unix boxes, but not for your Macs | |
2722 | and PCs. By default, ident lookups are not performed for | |
2723 | any requests. | |
2724 | ||
2725 | To enable ident lookups for specific client addresses, you | |
2726 | can follow this example: | |
2727 | ||
2728 | acl ident_aware_hosts src 198.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 | |
2729 | ident_lookup_access allow ident_aware_hosts | |
2730 | ident_lookup_access deny all | |
2731 | ||
2732 | Only src type ACL checks are fully supported. A src_domain | |
2733 | ACL might work at times, but it will not always provide | |
2734 | the correct result. | |

2798 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |

2803 | for this reply. | |
2804 | ||
7f7db318 | 2805 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, |
cccac0a2 | 2806 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists |
2807 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
2808 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
2809 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
2810 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
2811 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
2812 | ||
2813 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
2814 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
2815 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |

2818 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |

3158 | ||
3159 | If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified | |
3160 | limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free() | |
3161 | requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc | |
3162 | library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps | |
3163 | objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set | |
3164 | memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your | |
3165 | configuration will use less memory. | |
3166 | ||
3167 | If not set (default) or set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it | |
3168 | can. That is, there will be no limit on the total amount of memory | |
3169 | used for safe-keeping. | |
3170 | ||
3171 | To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set | |
3172 | memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead. | |

3442 | ||
3443 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should | |
3444 | ALWAYS be forwarded directly to origin servers. For example, | |
3445 | to always directly forward requests for local servers use | |
3446 | something like: | |
3447 | ||
3448 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net | |
3449 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
3450 | ||
3451 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use | |
3452 | ||
3453 | acl FTP proto FTP | |
3454 | always_direct allow FTP | |
3455 | ||
3456 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named | |
3457 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
3458 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
3459 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
3460 | some other rule. Example: | |
3461 | ||
3462 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |
3463 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
3464 | always_direct deny local-external | |

3478 | never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read | |
3479 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
3480 | ||
3481 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
3482 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
3483 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
3484 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
3485 | ||
3486 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
3487 | acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 | |
3488 | never_direct deny local-servers | |
3489 | never_direct allow all | |
7f7db318 | 3490 | |
3491 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
f939c0ca | 3492 | servers inside the firewall use something like: |
cccac0a2 | 3493 | |
3494 | acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net | |
3495 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |
3496 | always_direct deny local-external | |
3497 | always_direct allow local-intranet | |

3939 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
3940 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
3941 | description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: | |
3942 | ||
3943 | delay_parameters pool aggregate | |
3944 | ||
3945 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
3946 | ||
3947 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual | |
3948 | ||
3949 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
3950 | ||

3952 | ||
3953 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
3954 | ||
3955 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user | |
3956 | ||
3957 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
3958 | ||
3959 | delay_parameters pool tag | |
3960 | ||
3961 | The variables here are: | |
3962 | ||
3963 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
3964 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
3965 | delay_class lines. | |
3966 | ||
3967 | aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket | |
3968 | (class 1, 2, 3). | |
3969 | ||
3970 | individual the "delay parameters" for the individual | |
3971 | buckets (class 2, 3). | |
3972 | ||
3973 | network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets | |
3974 | (class 3). | |
3975 | ||
3976 | user the delay parameters for the user buckets | |
3977 | (class 4). | |
3978 | ||
3979 | tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets | |
3980 | (class 5). | |
3981 | ||
3982 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
3983 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
3984 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
3985 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
3986 | ||
3987 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the | |
3988 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps | |
3989 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: | |
3990 | ||
3991 | delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000 | |
3992 | ||
3993 | Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited". | |
3994 | ||
3995 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above | |
3996 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit) | |
3997 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each | |
3998 | individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb | |
3999 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed | |
4000 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
4001 | large downloads more significantly: | |
4002 | ||
4003 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 | |
4004 | ||
4005 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. | |
4006 | ||
4007 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
4008 | be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: | |
7f7db318 | 4009 | |

4468 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
4469 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |

4471 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
4472 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
4473 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
4474 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
7f7db318 | 4475 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid |
cccac0a2 | 4476 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior |
4477 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
4478 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
4479 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
4480 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
4481 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |
