cccac0a2 | 30 | WELCOME TO SQUID @VERSION@ |
31 | ---------------------------- | |

cccac0a2 | 33 | This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish |
34 | to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/) | |
35 | for the FAQ and other documentation. | |
3a278cb8 | 36 | |
cccac0a2 | 37 | The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for |
38 | various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the | |
39 | default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause | |
40 | run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default | |
41 | setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid | |
42 | option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the | |
43 | case. | |

48 | Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. | |
49 | Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is | |
50 | supported. | |
51 | ||
52 | For example, | |
53 | ||
54 | include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config | |
55 | ||
56 | Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. | |
57 | This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references | |
58 | from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load | |
59 | configuration files. | |

41bd17a4 | 63 | OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION |
5473c134 | 64 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
65 | COMMENT_END | |
66 | ||
41bd17a4 | 67 | NAME: auth_param |
68 | TYPE: authparam | |
69 | LOC: Config.authConfiguration | |
cccac0a2 | 70 | DEFAULT: none |
71 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 72 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
73 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 74 | |
41bd17a4 | 75 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 76 | |
41bd17a4 | 77 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
78 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
79 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
80 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
81 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
82 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
83 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
84 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
85 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 86 | |
41bd17a4 | 87 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
88 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
89 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
90 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 91 | |
41bd17a4 | 92 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
93 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
94 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
95 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
96 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
97 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
98 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
99 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
100 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 101 | |
41bd17a4 | 102 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
103 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
104 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
105 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
106 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |
107 | authentication disabled. | |
cccac0a2 | 108 | |
41bd17a4 | 109 | === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. === |
cccac0a2 | 110 | |
41bd17a4 | 111 | "program" cmdline |
112 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program | |
113 | reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or | |
114 | "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed | |
115 | by a error description available as %m in the returned error page. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
116 | If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type |
117 | proxy_auth. | |
cccac0a2 | 118 | |
41bd17a4 | 119 | By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a |
120 | program is specified. | |
cccac0a2 | 121 | |
41bd17a4 | 122 | If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set |
123 | this line to something like | |
307b83b7 | 124 | |
41bd17a4 | 125 | auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd |
9e7dbc51 | 126 | |
d2a89ac1 AJ |
127 | "utf8" on|off |
128 | HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication | |
129 | backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will | |
130 | translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the | |
131 | username & password to the helper. | |
132 | ||
41bd17a4 | 133 | "children" numberofchildren |
134 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few | |
135 | Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential | |
136 | verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are | |
137 | done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of | |
138 | authenticator processes. | |
139 | auth_param basic children 5 | |
9e7dbc51 | 140 | |
41bd17a4 | 141 | "concurrency" concurrency |
142 | The number of concurrent requests the helper can process. | |
143 | The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports | |
144 | one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to | |
145 | include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing | |
146 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without | |
147 | wating for the response. | |
148 | Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this. | |
149 | auth_param basic concurrency 0 | |
0fdafae7 | 150 | |
41bd17a4 | 151 | "realm" realmstring |
152 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
153 | client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
154 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
155 | password). There is no default. | |
156 | auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
d1b63fc8 | 157 | |
41bd17a4 | 158 | "credentialsttl" timetolive |
159 | Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated | |
160 | username:password pair is valid for - in other words how | |
161 | often the helper program is called for that user. Set this | |
162 | low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note | |
163 | setting this high does not impact your susceptibility | |
164 | to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password | |
165 | system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system, | |
166 | you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also | |
167 | use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule. | |
cccac0a2 | 168 | |
41bd17a4 | 169 | "casesensitive" on|off |
170 | Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are | |
171 | case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both | |
172 | lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This | |
173 | makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar. | |
174 | auth_param basic casesensitive off | |
cccac0a2 | 175 | |
41bd17a4 | 176 | === Parameters for the digest scheme follow === |
cccac0a2 | 177 | |
41bd17a4 | 178 | "program" cmdline |
179 | Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such | |
180 | a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and | |
181 | replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or | |
182 | ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists. | |
183 | See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1). | |
184 | "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description | |
185 | available as %m in the returned error page. | |
cccac0a2 | 186 | |
41bd17a4 | 187 | By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a |
188 | program is specified. | |
b8c0c06d | 189 | |
41bd17a4 | 190 | If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to |
191 | something like | |
cccac0a2 | 192 | |
7ce93108 | 193 | auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_pw_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass |
cccac0a2 | 194 | |
d2a89ac1 AJ |
195 | "utf8" on|off |
196 | HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication | |
197 | backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will | |
198 | translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the | |
199 | username & password to the helper. | |
200 | ||
41bd17a4 | 201 | "children" numberofchildren |
202 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
203 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
204 | process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down. | |
205 | When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network | |
206 | you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
207 | auth_param digest children 5 | |
cccac0a2 | 208 | |
41bd17a4 | 209 | "realm" realmstring |
210 | Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the | |
211 | client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of | |
212 | the text the user will see when prompted their username and | |
213 | password). There is no default. | |
214 | auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server | |
cccac0a2 | 215 | |
41bd17a4 | 216 | "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval |
217 | Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued | |
218 | to client_agent's are checked for validity. | |
cccac0a2 | 219 | |
41bd17a4 | 220 | "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval |
221 | Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be | |
222 | valid for. | |
cccac0a2 | 223 | |
41bd17a4 | 224 | "nonce_max_count" number |
225 | Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be | |
226 | used. | |
cccac0a2 | 227 | |
41bd17a4 | 228 | "nonce_strictness" on|off |
229 | Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior | |
230 | for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when | |
231 | useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1 | |
232 | (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off. | |
cccac0a2 | 233 | |
41bd17a4 | 234 | "check_nonce_count" on|off |
235 | This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check | |
236 | completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in | |
237 | certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the | |
238 | nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks. | |
cccac0a2 | 239 | |
41bd17a4 | 240 | "post_workaround" on|off |
241 | This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends | |
242 | an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing | |
243 | the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request. | |
cccac0a2 | 244 | |
41bd17a4 | 245 | === NTLM scheme options follow === |
cccac0a2 | 246 | |
41bd17a4 | 247 | "program" cmdline |
248 | Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator. | |
249 | Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with | |
250 | the browser via Squid until authentication is completed. | |
251 | If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl | |
252 | of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program | |
253 | is not used. | |
cccac0a2 | 254 | |
41bd17a4 | 255 | auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth |
cccac0a2 | 256 | |
41bd17a4 | 257 | "children" numberofchildren |
258 | The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default). | |
259 | If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to | |
260 | process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it | |
261 | down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow) | |
262 | network you are likely to need lots of authenticator | |
263 | processes. | |
cccac0a2 | 264 | |
41bd17a4 | 265 | auth_param ntlm children 5 |
cccac0a2 | 266 | |
41bd17a4 | 267 | "keep_alive" on|off |
268 | If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the | |
269 | Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to | |
270 | off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on | |
271 | the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are | |
272 | supported by the proxy. | |
cccac0a2 | 273 | |
41bd17a4 | 274 | auth_param ntlm keep_alive on |
cccac0a2 | 275 | |
41bd17a4 | 276 | === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow === |
cccac0a2 | 277 | |
41bd17a4 | 278 | "program" cmdline |
279 | Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator. | |
280 | This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with | |
281 | the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers. | |
282 | Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy | |
283 | using the Kerberos mechanisms. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
284 | If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least |
285 | one acl of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate | |
286 | authenticator_program is not used. | |
41bd17a4 | 287 | The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth |
288 | program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later. | |
cccac0a2 | 289 | |
41bd17a4 | 290 | auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego |
cccac0a2 | 291 | |
41bd17a4 | 292 | "children" numberofchildren |

332 | TYPE: time_t | |
333 | DEFAULT: 1 hour | |
334 | LOC: Config.authenticateGCInterval | |
335 | DOC_START | |
336 | The time period between garbage collection across the username cache. | |
337 | This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say | |
338 | 2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you | |

346 | DOC_START | |
347 | The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in | |

357 | DOC_START | |
358 | If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL, | |
359 | this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP | |
360 | addresses associated with each user. Use a small value | |
361 | (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses | |
362 | quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe | |
363 | using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN | |
364 | environment with relatively static address assignments. | |

6a566b9c | 465 | |
41bd17a4 | 466 | If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes |
467 | if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \. | |
468 | And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped. | |

41bd17a4 | 470 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by |

730 | Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to | |
731 | find the original source of a request. | |
732 | ||
733 | Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies | |
734 | before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a | |
735 | comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the | |
736 | rightmost address being the most recent. | |
737 | ||
738 | If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this | |
739 | configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header | |
740 | to see where that host received the request from. If the | |
741 | X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if | |
742 | acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking | |
743 | until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to | |
744 | follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first | |
745 | address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then | |
746 | it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of | |
747 | X-Forwarded-For addresses.) | |
748 | ||
749 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
750 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
751 | be treated as the client address for access control, delay | |
752 | pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client, | |
753 | delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client | |
754 | options. | |

759 | SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS: |
760 | ||
761 | Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header | |
762 | can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid | |
763 | will use the incorrect information as if it were the | |
764 | source address of the request. This may enable remote | |
765 | hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are | |
766 | based on the client's source addresses. | |
767 | ||
768 | For example: | |
769 | ||
770 | acl localhost src 127.0.0.1 | |
771 | acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com | |

1014 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |
1015 | used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as | |
1016 | MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the | |
1017 | reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where | |
1018 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
1019 | for this reply. | |
1020 | ||
1021 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
1022 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
1023 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
1024 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
1025 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
1026 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
1027 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
1028 | ||
1029 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
1030 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
1031 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
1032 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
1033 | ||
1034 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
1035 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |
1036 | non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus | |

1063 | The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client | |
1064 | requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. | |
1065 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
1066 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
1067 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
1068 | address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address' | |
1069 | option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific | |
1070 | address, so you can use the port number alone. | |
1071 | ||
1072 | If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you | |
1073 | probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. | |
1074 | ||
1075 | The -a command line option may be used to specify additional | |
1076 | port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will | |
1077 | be plain proxy ports with no options. | |

1403 | IPv6 Magic: | |
1404 | ||
b3567eb5 FC |
1405 | Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 |
1406 | internets. | |
cc192b50 | 1407 | tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing |
1408 | all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong | |
1409 | side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary. | |
1410 | ||
1411 | To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits | |
1412 | an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic | |
1413 | is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface. | |
1414 | ||
1415 | acl to_ipv6 dst ipv6 | |
1416 | tcp_outgoing_address 2002::c001 good_service_net to_ipv6 | |

6db78a1a AJ |
1424 | |
1425 | WARNING: | |
1426 | 'dst ipv6' bases its selection assuming DIRECT access. | |
1427 | If peers are used the peername ACL are needed to select outgoing | |
1428 | address which can link to the peer. | |
1429 | ||
6b185b50 AJ |
1430 | 'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used |
1431 | previously in the http_access rules to locate the destination IP. | |
1432 | Some more magic may be needed for that: | |
1433 | http_access allow to_ipv6 !all | |
1434 | (meaning, allow if to IPv6 but not from anywhere ;) | |

1665 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
1666 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
1667 | ||
1668 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
1669 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
1670 | ||
1671 | background-ping | |
1672 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
1673 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
1674 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
1675 | ||
1676 | ||
1677 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
1678 | ||
1679 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
1680 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
1681 | ||
1682 | ||
1683 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
1684 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
1685 | instead of 3130. | |
1686 | ||
1687 | htcp-oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions. | |
1688 | ||
1689 | htcp-no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without | |
1690 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with | |
1691 | htcp-only-clr. | |
1692 | ||
1693 | htcp-only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. | |
1694 | This cannot be used with htcp-no-clr. | |
1695 | ||
1696 | htcp-no-purge-clr | |
1697 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when | |
1698 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
1699 | ||
1700 | htcp-forward-clr | |
1701 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. | |
1702 | ||
1703 | ||
1704 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
1705 | ||
1706 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
1707 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
1708 | ||
1709 | ||
1710 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
1711 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
1712 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
1713 | ||
1714 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
1715 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
1716 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
1717 | ||
1718 | weighted-round-robin | |
1719 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
1720 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
1721 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
1722 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
1723 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
1724 | ||
1725 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
1726 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
1727 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
1728 | ||
1729 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
1730 | ||
1731 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
1732 | ||
1733 | ||
1734 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
1735 | ||
1736 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
1737 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
1738 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
1739 | larger weights are favored more. | |
1740 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
1741 | protocol is not in use. | |
1742 | ||
1743 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
1744 | times of parents. | |
1745 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
1746 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
1747 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
1748 | ||
1749 | ttl=N Specify a IP multicast TTL to use when sending an ICP | |
1750 | queries to this address. | |
1751 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. | |
1752 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
1753 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
1754 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
1755 | ||
1756 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
1757 | delay pools. | |
1758 | ||
1759 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
1760 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
1761 | than the Squid default location. | |
1762 | ||
1763 | ||
1764 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== | |
1765 | ||
1766 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
1767 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
1768 | is a web server. | |
1769 | ||
1770 | forceddomain=name | |
1771 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
1772 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
1773 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
1774 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
1775 | ||
1776 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
1777 | ||
1778 | no-netdb-exchange | |
1779 | Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). | |
1780 | ||
1781 | ||
1782 | ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== | |
1783 | ||
1784 | login=user:password | |
1785 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
1786 | requires proxy authentication. | |
1787 | ||
1788 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
1789 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
1790 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
1791 | login=PASSTHRU |
1792 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
1793 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
1794 | without alteration to the peer. | |
1795 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
1796 | ||
1797 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
1798 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
1799 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 1800 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
1801 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
1802 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 1803 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
1804 | If there are no client-provided authentication headers |
1805 | to pass on, but username and password are available | |
ee0b94f4 HN |
1806 | from an external ACL user= and password= result tags |
1807 | they may be sent instead. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
1808 | |
1809 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
1810 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
1811 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |
1812 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy | |
1813 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION | |
1814 | ||
1815 | login=*:password | |
1816 | Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a | |
1817 | fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer | |
1818 | is in another administrative domain, but it is still | |
1819 | needed to identify each user. | |
1820 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
1821 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
1822 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
1823 | the login=username:password option above. | |
1824 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
1825 | login=NEGOTIATE |
1826 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
1827 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
1828 | The first principal from the default keytab or defined by | |
1829 | the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used. | |
1830 | ||
1831 | login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name | |
1832 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
1833 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
1834 | The principal principal_name from the default keytab or | |
1835 | defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be | |
1836 | used. | |
1837 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
1838 | connection-auth=on|off |
1839 | Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft | |
1840 | connection oriented authentication, and any such | |
1841 | challenges received from there should be ignored. | |
1842 | Default is auto to automatically determine the status | |
1843 | of the peer. | |
1844 | ||
1845 | ||
1846 | ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ==== | |
1847 | ||
1848 | ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS. | |
1849 | ||
1850 | sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate | |
1851 | A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to | |
1852 | this peer. | |
1853 | ||
1854 | sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key | |
1855 | The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above. | |
1856 | If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to | |
1857 | reference a combined file containing both the | |
1858 | certificate and the key. | |
1859 | ||
1860 | sslversion=1|2|3|4 | |
1861 | The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer | |
1862 | 1 = automatic (default) | |
1863 | 2 = SSL v2 only | |
1864 | 3 = SSL v3 only | |
1865 | 4 = TLS v1 only | |
1866 | ||
1867 | sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting | |
1868 | to this peer. | |
1869 | ||
1870 | ssloptions=... Specify various SSL engine options: | |
1871 | NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2 | |
1872 | NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3 | |
1873 | NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1 | |
1874 | See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for | |
1875 | a more complete list. | |
1876 | ||
1877 | sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use | |
1878 | when verifying the peer certificate. | |
1879 | ||
1880 | sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to | |
1881 | use when verifying the peer certificate. | |
1882 | ||
1883 | sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when | |
1884 | verifying the peer certificate. | |
1885 | ||
1886 | sslflags=... Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation: | |
1887 | ||
41bd17a4 | 1888 | DONT_VERIFY_PEER |
1889 | Accept certificates even if they fail to | |
1890 | verify. | |
1891 | NO_DEFAULT_CA | |
1892 | Don't use the default CA list built in | |
1893 | to OpenSSL. | |
1894 | DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN | |
1895 | Don't verify the peer certificate | |
1896 | matches the server name | |
2b94f655 AJ |
1897 | |
1898 | ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate. | |
1899 | Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer | |
1900 | certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be | |
1901 | used. | |
1902 | ||
1903 | front-end-https | |
1904 | Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when | |
1905 | using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA. | |
1906 | See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header. | |
1907 | If set to auto the header will only be added if the | |
1908 | request is forwarded as a https:// URL. | |
1909 | ||
1910 | ||
1911 | ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== | |
1912 | ||
1913 | connect-timeout=N | |
1914 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
1915 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
1916 | ||
1917 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
1918 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
1919 | it is marked as down. Default is 10. | |
1920 | ||
1921 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
1922 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
1923 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use | |
1924 | of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you | |
1925 | should avoid having two-way peerings with this option. | |
1926 | For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer | |
1927 | by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer. | |
1928 | ||
1929 | max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this | |
1930 | peer. see also | |
1931 | ||
1932 | name=xxx Unique name for the peer. | |
1933 | Required if you have multiple peers on the same host | |
1934 | but different ports. | |
1935 | This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar | |
1936 | directives to dentify the peer. | |
1937 | Can be used by outgoing access controls through the | |
1938 | peername ACL type. | |
1939 | ||
1940 | proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally. | |

41bd17a4 | 1955 | For example, specifying |
cccac0a2 | 1956 | |
41bd17a4 | 1957 | cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu |
cccac0a2 | 1958 | |
41bd17a4 | 1959 | has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to |
1960 | 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a | |
1961 | server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname | |
1962 | with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects | |
1963 | NOT in that domain. | |
cccac0a2 | 1964 | |
41bd17a4 | 1965 | NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host, |

1968 | cache-host, the first matched domain is applied. | |
1969 | * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried | |
1970 | for all requests. | |

2015 | LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer | |
2016 | DOC_START | |
2017 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |
2018 | as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this | |
2019 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
2020 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
2021 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
2022 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
699acd19 | 2023 | |
41bd17a4 | 2024 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP |
2025 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
2026 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
2027 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
2028 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |

41bd17a4 | 2069 | NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE. |
2070 | IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL | |
2071 | USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER | |
2072 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
2073 | ||
2074 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
2075 | for: | |
2076 | * In-Transit objects | |
2077 | * Hot Objects | |
2078 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
2079 | ||
2080 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
2081 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
2082 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
2083 | priority. | |
2084 | ||
2085 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
2086 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
2087 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
2088 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
2089 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
2090 | ||
2091 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
2092 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
2093 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
2094 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
2095 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
2096 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
2097 | objects. | |

2149 | The cache replacement policy parameter determines which | |
2150 | objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed. | |
6b698a21 | 2151 | |
41bd17a4 | 2152 | lru : Squid's original list based LRU policy |
2153 | heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency | |
2154 | heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging | |
2155 | heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap | |
6b698a21 | 2156 | |
41bd17a4 | 2157 | Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this. |
7f7db318 | 2158 | |
41bd17a4 | 2159 | The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects. |
0976f8db | 2160 | |
41bd17a4 | 2161 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
2162 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
2163 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
2164 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 2165 | |
41bd17a4 | 2166 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
2167 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
2168 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
2169 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 2170 | |
41bd17a4 | 2171 | Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents |
2172 | cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based | |
2173 | replacement policies. | |
7d90757b | 2174 | |
41bd17a4 | 2175 | NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase |
2176 | the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to | |
2177 | to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA. | |

0976f8db | 2190 | |
41bd17a4 | 2191 | cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options] |
0976f8db | 2192 | |
41bd17a4 | 2193 | You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the |
2194 | cache among different disk partitions. | |
0976f8db | 2195 | |
41bd17a4 | 2196 | Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs" |
2197 | is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems | |
2198 | see the --enable-storeio configure option. | |
0976f8db | 2199 | |
41bd17a4 | 2200 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
2201 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
2202 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. | |
2203 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid | |
2204 | process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. | |
0976f8db | 2205 | |
41bd17a4 | 2206 | The ufs store type: |
0976f8db | 2207 | |
41bd17a4 | 2208 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
2209 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 2210 | |
41bd17a4 | 2211 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] |
0976f8db | 2212 | |
41bd17a4 | 2213 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
2214 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
2215 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
2216 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
2217 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
0976f8db | 2218 | |
41bd17a4 | 2219 | 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
2220 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. | |
0976f8db | 2221 | |
41bd17a4 | 2222 | 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
2223 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default | |
2224 | is 256. | |
0976f8db | 2225 | |
41bd17a4 | 2226 | The aufs store type: |
7f7db318 | 2227 | |
41bd17a4 | 2228 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
2229 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
2230 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |

38f9c547 | 2233 | |
41bd17a4 | 2234 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
38f9c547 | 2235 | |
41bd17a4 | 2236 | The diskd store type: |
38f9c547 | 2237 | |
41bd17a4 | 2238 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
2239 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
2240 | disk-I/O. | |

0976f8db | 2243 | |
41bd17a4 | 2244 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 2245 | |
41bd17a4 | 2246 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
2247 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2248 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 2249 | |
41bd17a4 | 2250 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
2251 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
2252 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 2253 | |
41bd17a4 | 2254 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
2255 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
2256 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
2257 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
2258 | time. | |
0976f8db | 2259 | |
41bd17a4 | 2260 | The coss store type: |
0976f8db | 2261 | |
db263d62 AJ |
2262 | NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for |
2263 | production use and has thus been removed from this release. | |
2264 | We hope that it can be made usable again soon. | |
2265 | ||
41bd17a4 | 2266 | block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's. |
2267 | Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers | |
2268 | are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum | |
2269 | size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which | |
2270 | leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note | |
2271 | you should not change the coss block size after Squid | |
2272 | has written some objects to the cache_dir. | |
0976f8db | 2273 | |
41bd17a4 | 2274 | The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file |
2275 | called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and | |
2276 | this will be created by squid -z. | |
0976f8db | 2277 | |
41bd17a4 | 2278 | Common options: |
0976f8db | 2279 | |
41bd17a4 | 2280 | no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir |
0976f8db | 2281 | |
41bd17a4 | 2282 | max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports. |
2283 | It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object. | |
2284 | Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order | |
2285 | the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the | |
2286 | ones with no max-size specification last. | |
0976f8db | 2287 | |
41bd17a4 | 2288 | Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ, |
2289 | which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure | |
2290 | option. | |

2360 | Replacement begins when the swap (disk) usage is above the | |
2361 | low-water mark and attempts to maintain utilization near the | |
2362 | low-water mark. As swap utilization gets close to high-water | |

2549 | DOC_START | |
2550 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
2551 | transaction. | |
2552 | ||
2553 | The icap_log option format is: | |
2554 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
2555 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
2556 | ||
2557 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
2558 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
2559 | features. | |
2560 | ||
2561 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
2562 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
2563 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
2564 | log line. | |
2565 | ||
2566 | ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP | |
2567 | transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header | |
2568 | embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats: | |
2569 | For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP | |
2570 | server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP | |
2571 | request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For | |
2572 | OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers. | |
2573 | ||
2574 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
2575 | ||
2576 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
2577 | ||
2578 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
2579 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
2580 | ||
2581 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
2582 | ||
2583 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
2584 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
2585 | ||
2586 | icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload | |
2587 | only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket). | |
2588 | ||
2589 | icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP | |
2590 | payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from | |
2591 | the socket). | |
2592 | ||
2593 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in | |
2594 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
2595 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
2596 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
2597 | Similar to tr. | |
2598 | ||
2599 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
2600 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
2601 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
2602 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
2603 | is received. | |
2604 | ||
2605 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
2606 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
2607 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
2608 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
2609 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
2610 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |
2611 | ||
2612 | icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs. | |
2613 | ||
2614 | icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h. | |
2615 | ||
2616 | icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h. | |
2617 | ||
2618 | The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit | |
2619 | definition, is called icap_squid: | |
2620 | ||
2621 | logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A - | |

5473c134 | 2710 | |
41bd17a4 | 2711 | Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1 |
2712 | signal to the running squid process. In certain situations | |
2713 | (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other | |

3533 | A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP | |
3534 | request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that | |
3535 | feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the | |
3536 | entire request and then dechunks request body to create a | |
3537 | plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain | |
3538 | request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual. | |
3539 | ||
3540 | The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used | |
3541 | to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked | |
3542 | request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion | |
3543 | fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error, | |
3544 | as if dechunking was disabled. | |
3545 | ||
3546 | Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of | |
3547 | chunked requests, set the maximum to zero. | |
3548 | ||
3549 | Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a | |
3550 | temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully | |
3551 | supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request. | |

3598 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
3599 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |
3600 | is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides | |
3601 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
3602 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
3603 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
3604 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
3605 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid | |
3606 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior | |
3607 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
3608 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
3609 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
3610 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
3611 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |

3909 | DOC_START | |
3910 | The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to | |
3911 | remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache | |
3912 | from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up | |
3913 | in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without | |
3914 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |
3915 | because of a poor client implementation). The default is one | |
3916 | day, 1440 minutes. | |
7d90757b | 3917 | |
41bd17a4 | 3918 | NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any |
3919 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |
3920 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |
3921 | If you seem to have many client connections tying up | |
3922 | filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout, | |
3923 | request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values. | |

4307 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
4308 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
4309 | description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: | |
4310 | ||
4311 | delay_parameters pool aggregate | |
4312 | ||
4313 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
4314 | ||
4315 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual | |
4316 | ||
4317 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
4318 | ||
4319 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual | |
4320 | ||
4321 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
4322 | ||
4323 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user | |
4324 | ||
4325 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
4326 | ||
4327 | delay_parameters pool tag | |
4328 | ||
4329 | The variables here are: | |
4330 | ||
4331 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
4332 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
4333 | delay_class lines. | |
4334 | ||
4335 | aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket | |
4336 | (class 1, 2, 3). | |
4337 | ||
4338 | individual the "delay parameters" for the individual | |
4339 | buckets (class 2, 3). | |
4340 | ||
4341 | network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets | |
4342 | (class 3). | |
4343 | ||
4344 | user the delay parameters for the user buckets | |
4345 | (class 4). | |
4346 | ||
4347 | tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets | |
4348 | (class 5). | |
4349 | ||
4350 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
4351 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
4352 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
4353 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
4354 | ||
4355 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the | |
4356 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps | |
4357 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: | |
4358 | ||
4359 | delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000 | |
4360 | ||
4361 | Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited". | |
4362 | ||
4363 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above | |
4364 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit) | |
4365 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each | |
4366 | individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb | |
4367 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed | |
4368 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
4369 | large downloads more significantly: | |
4370 | ||
4371 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 | |
4372 | ||
4373 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. | |
4374 | ||
4375 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
4376 | be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: | |
4377 | ||
4378 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 | |

5473c134 | 5267 | |
5268 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |
5269 | do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last | |
5270 | acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists | |
5271 | for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page. | |
5272 | ||
5273 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
5274 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
5275 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
5276 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
5277 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
5278 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |
5279 | ||
43000484 AJ |
5280 | NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory |

5282 | Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys | |
5473c134 | 5283 | |
5284 | Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will | |
5285 | get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection | |
5286 | URL will be replaced by the requested URL. | |
5287 | ||
5288 | Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection | |
5289 | by specifying TCP_RESET. | |

5301 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 5302 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |
5303 | (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct | |
5304 | to origin servers. | |
e72a0ec0 | 5305 | |

5307 | requests to parents. | |

5473c134 | 5309 | Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only |

5311 | ratio. | |

5473c134 | 5313 | If you are inside an firewall see never_direct instead of |

5321 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 5322 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |

5324 | going direct fails set this to on. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 5325 | |
5473c134 | 5326 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
5327 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
5328 | fails. | |
5329 | ||
5330 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
5331 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |
5332 | acts on cacheable requests. | |

0b0cfcf2 | 5341 | |
5473c134 | 5342 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
5343 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
5344 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
5345 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
5346 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 5347 | |
5473c134 | 5348 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
5349 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 5350 | |
5473c134 | 5351 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 5352 | |
5473c134 | 5353 | acl FTP proto FTP |
5354 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 5355 | |
5473c134 | 5356 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
5357 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
5358 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
5359 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
5360 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 5361 | |
5473c134 | 5362 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
5363 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5364 | always_direct deny local-external | |
5365 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 5366 | |
5473c134 | 5367 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
5368 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
5369 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
5370 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 5371 | |
5473c134 | 5372 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
5373 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |
b3567eb5 | 5374 | the replies see the 'cache' directive. |

5388 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
5389 | ||
5390 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
5391 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
5392 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
5393 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
5394 | ||
5395 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 5396 | never_direct deny local-servers |
5397 | never_direct allow all | |

5399 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
5400 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |

ac7a62f9 | 5586 | The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the |
5587 | HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body | |
5588 | or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments, | |
5589 | previews greatly speedup ICAP processing. | |
5590 | ||
5591 | During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what | |
5592 | HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be. | |
5593 | Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one. | |

a22e6cd3 | 5681 | Defines a single ICAP service using the following format: |

7d90757b | 5684 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
5685 | service_name: ID |
5686 | an opaque identifier which must be unique in squid.conf | |
5687 | ||
5688 | vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache | |
f3db09e2 | 5689 | This specifies at which point of transaction processing the |
5690 | ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points | |
5691 | are not yet supported. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
5692 | |
5693 | service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath | |
5694 | ICAP server and service location. | |
5695 | ||
5696 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
5697 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
5698 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
5699 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
5700 | service_names differ. | |
5701 | ||
5702 | ||
5703 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
5704 | the following name=value options: | |
5705 | ||
5706 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
5707 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
5708 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
5709 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
5710 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
5711 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
5712 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
5713 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
5714 | ||
5715 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
5716 | ||
5717 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
5718 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to | |
5719 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
5720 | returning a chain of services to be used next. The services | |
5721 | are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header | |
5722 | value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names. | |
5723 | Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and | |
5724 | should have the same method and vectoring point as the current | |
5725 | ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored. | |
5726 | An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which | |
5727 | ends the current adaptation. | |
5728 | ||
5729 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
5730 | response header is ignored. | |
5731 | ||
5732 | Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is | |
5733 | deprecated but supported for backward compatibility. | |
5473c134 | 5734 | |
5473c134 | 5735 | Example: |

62c7f90e | 5844 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
5845 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |

62c7f90e | 5847 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
5848 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
5849 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
5850 | ||
5851 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
5852 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
5853 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
5854 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
5855 | transaction fails as well. | |
5856 | ||
5857 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
5858 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
5859 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |

5891 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
5892 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
5893 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |
5894 | ||

5972 | For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response | |
5973 | sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid | |
5974 | maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value) | |
