33 This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
34 This documentation can also be found online at:
35 http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
36
37 You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
38 FAQ and other documentation:
39 http://www.squid-cache.org/
40 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
41 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
42
43 This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
44 happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should
45 leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
46
47 In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
48 while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
49 - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.

54 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
5945964d 55 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
592a09dc 56 supported.
57
58 For example,
59
60 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
61
62 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
63 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
64 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
65 configuration files.

68 Conditional configuration
69
70 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
71 depend on conditions:
72
73 if <CONDITION>
74 ... regular configuration directives ...
75 [else
76 ... regular configuration directives ...]
77 endif
78
79 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
80 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
81 configuration directives.
82
5945964d

87 true
88 Always evaluates to true.
89 false
90 Always evaluates to false.
91 <integer> = <integer>
92 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

97 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
98
99 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
100 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
101
102 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
103 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
104 across all Squid processes.

cccac0a2 191DEFAULT: none
192DOC_START
41bd17a4 193 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
194 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 195
41bd17a4 196 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 197
41bd17a4 198 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
199 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
200 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
201 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
202 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
203 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
204 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
205 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
206 program entry).
cccac0a2 207
41bd17a4 208 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
209 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
210 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
211 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 212
41bd17a4 213 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
214 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
215 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
216 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
217 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
218 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
219 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
220 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
221 type acl.
cccac0a2 222
41bd17a4 223 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
224 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
225 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
226 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
227 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
228 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 229
41bd17a4 230 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 231
41bd17a4 232 "program" cmdline
233 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
234 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
235 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
236 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
237 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
238 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 239
41bd17a4 240 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
241 program is specified.
cccac0a2 242
41bd17a4 243 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
244 this line to something like
307b83b7 245
41bd17a4 246 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 247
d2a89ac1
AJ
248 "utf8" on|off
249 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
250 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
251 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
252 username & password to the helper.
253
7353861b 254 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 255 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 256 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
257 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
258 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
259 authenticator processes.

263 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet

AJ
264 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
265 the maximum.

7353861b

267 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
268 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
269 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
270 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
271 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
272 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 273 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

0fdafae7 276
41bd17a4 277 "realm" realmstring
278 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
279 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
280 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
281 password). There is no default.
282 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 283
41bd17a4 284 "credentialsttl" timetolive
285 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
286 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
287 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
288 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
289 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
290 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
291 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
292 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
293 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 294
41bd17a4 295 "casesensitive" on|off
296 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
297 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
298 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
299 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.

cccac0a2 301
41bd17a4 302 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
cccac0a2 303
41bd17a4 304 "program" cmdline
305 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
306 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
307 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
308 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
309 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
310 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
311 available as %m in the returned error page.

354 password). There is no default.
355 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
cccac0a2 356
41bd17a4 357 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
358 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
359 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
cccac0a2 360
41bd17a4 361 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
362 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
363 valid for.
cccac0a2 364
41bd17a4 365 "nonce_max_count" number
366 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
367 used.
cccac0a2 368
41bd17a4 369 "nonce_strictness" on|off
370 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
371 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
372 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
373 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 374
41bd17a4 375 "check_nonce_count" on|off
376 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
377 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
378 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
379 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 380
41bd17a4 381 "post_workaround" on|off
382 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
383 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
384 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
cccac0a2 385
41bd17a4 386 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
cccac0a2 387
41bd17a4 388 "program" cmdline
389 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
390 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
391 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
392 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
393 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
394 is not used.

416 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
417 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
418 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are

427 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
428 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
429 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
430 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
b3567eb5

494 The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.
495 This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say
496 2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you
497 have good reason to.

514DEFAULT: 0 seconds
515DOC_START
516 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
517 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
518 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
519 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
520 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
521 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
522 environment with relatively static address assignments.

612 acl will also be included in the helper request line, after the

cccac0a2 614
41bd17a4 615 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
616 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
617 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with

627 password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
628 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
629 in error pages
630 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
631 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
632 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
633 %ea in logformat specifications
934b03fc 634
41bd17a4 635 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
636 each value in both requests and responses.
6a566b9c 637
41bd17a4 638 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
639 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
640 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
1e5562e3 641
41bd17a4 642 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
643 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
644 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

944 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
945
946 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
947 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
948 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
949 source address of the request. This may enable remote
950 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
951 based on the client's source addresses.
952
953 For example:
954
955 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
956 acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com
957 follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost

1241 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be

1243 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1244 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where

1246 for this reply.
1247
1248 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1249 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1250 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1251 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1252 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1253 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1254 and they will receive a partial reply.
1255
1256 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1257 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1258 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1259 use this option if you have downstream caches.

1747 Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted

d8821934

1750
1751 This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in

1755 When set to ON:
1756 Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error
1757 page and logs a security warning if there is no match.
1758
1759 Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
1760 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
1761 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
1762 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
1763 and Request-URI components:
1764
1765 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
1766 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
1767 For the two host names to match, both must be either IP
1768 or FQDN.
1769
1770 * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing
1771 the scheme-default port is assumed.
1772
1773
1774 When set to OFF (the default):
1775 Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a
1776 security warning and blocks caching of the response.
1777
1778 * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
1779
1780 * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
1781
1782 * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled
1783 normally.
1784
1785 For now it also forces suspicious requests to go DIRECT to the
1786 original destination, overriding client_dst_passthru for
1787 intercepted requests which fail Host: verification.
1788
1789 For now suspicious intercepted CONNECT requests are always
1790 responded to with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error page.

1802 This option (on by default) prevents cache_peer and alternative DNS
1803 entries being used on intercepted traffic. Both of which lead to
1804 the security vulnerability outlined below.
1805
1806 SECURITY WARNING:
1807
1808 This directive should only be disabled if cache_peer are required.
1809
1810 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
1811 to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
1812 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
1813 security policy and sandboxing protections.
1814
1815 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
1816 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
1817 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
1818 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
1819 be different from the connected IP and approved origin.

AJ
2105 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
2106
2107 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2108
2109 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2110 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2111 For web servers this is usually 80
2112
2113 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2114 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2115 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2116
2117
2118 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2119
2120 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2121 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2122
2123
2124 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2125
2126 multicast-responder
2127 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2128 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2129 replies will be accepted from it.
2130
2131 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2132 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2133
2134 background-ping
2135 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2136 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2137 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2138
2139
2140 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2141
2142 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2143 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2144
2145
2146 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2147 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2148 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2149 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2150
18191440 2151 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2152
18191440 2153 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2154 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2155 only-clr.
2b94f655 2156
18191440
AJ
2157 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2158 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2159
18191440 2160 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2161 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2162 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2163
18191440 2164 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2165 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2166
2167
2168 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2169
2170 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2171 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2172
2173
2174 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2175 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2176 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2177
2178 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2179 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2180 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2181
2182 weighted-round-robin
2183 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2184 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2185 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2186 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2187 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2188
2189 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2190 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2191 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2192
2193 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2194
2195 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2196
2197 multicast-siblings
2198 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2199 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2e9993e1 2200 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
8a368316
AJ
2201 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2202 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2203 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2204 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2205
2206
2207 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2208
2209 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2210 peer-selection mechanisms.
2211 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2212 larger weights are favored more.
2213 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2214 protocol is not in use.
2215
2216 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2217 times of parents.
2218 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2219 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2220 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2221
3c72389f
AJ
2222 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2223 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2224 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2225 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2226 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2227 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2228
2229 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2230 delay pools.
2231
2232 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2233 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2234 than the Squid default location.
2235
2236
de03b596
FC
2237 ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
2238
2239 carp-key=key-specification
2240 use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
2241 the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
2242 scheme, host, port, path, params
2243 Order is not important.
2244
2b94f655
AJ
2245 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2246
2247 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2248 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2249 is a web server.
2250
2251 forceddomain=name
2252 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2253 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2254 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2255 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2256
2257 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2258
2259 no-netdb-exchange
2260 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2261
2262
2263 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2264
2265 login=user:password
2266 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2267 requires proxy authentication.
2268
2269 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2270 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2271
11e4c5e5
AJ
2272 login=PASSTHRU
2273 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2274 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2275 without alteration to the peer.
2276 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2277
2278 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2279 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2280 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2281
2b94f655
AJ
2282 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2283 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2284

AJ
2285 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2286 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2287 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2288 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2289
2290 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2291 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2292 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2293 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2294 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2295
2296 login=*:password
2297 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2298 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2299 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2300 needed to identify each user.
2301 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2302 information which is added to the username. This can
2303 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2304 the login=username:password option above.

2522 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2523 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2524 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2525 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2526 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2527 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2528
41bd17a4 2529 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2530 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2531 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2532 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2533 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you

2578 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2579 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2580 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2581
2582 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2583 for:
2584 * In-Transit objects
2585 * Hot Objects
2586 * Negative-Cached objects
2587
2588 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2589 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2590 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2591 priority.
2592
2593 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2594 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2595 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2596 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2597 not needed for in-transit objects.
2598
2599 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2600 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2601 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2602 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2603 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2604 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2605 objects.

2607 If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared

2634 The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
2635 the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
2636 cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
2637 objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory

2639

2641 following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
2642 multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
2643 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
2644 and GCC-style atomic operations).
2645
2646 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
2647 that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
2648 shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.
2649
2650 Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared.

41bd17a4 2700 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2701
41bd17a4 2702 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2703 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2704 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2705 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2706
41bd17a4 2707 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2708 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2709 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2710 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2711
41bd17a4 2712 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2713 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2714 replacement policies.

41bd17a4 2716 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase

2829 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
2830 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too

AR
2831 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
2832 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
2833 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
2834 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
2835 and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
2836 enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.

41bd17a4 2839 The coss store type:

db263d62
AJ
2841 NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
2842 production use and has thus been removed from this release.
2843 We hope that it can be made usable again soon.
2844
41bd17a4 2845 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2846 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2847 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2848 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2849 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2850 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2851 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2852
41bd17a4 2853 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2854 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2855 this will be created by squid -z.
0976f8db 2856
41bd17a4 2857 Common options:
0976f8db 2858
41bd17a4 2859 no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir
0976f8db 2860
b6662ffd
AJ
2861 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir
2862 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir to only store
2863 large objects (e.g. aufs) while other storedirs are optimized
2864 for smaller objects (e.g. COSS). Defaults to 0.
2865
00a6e30a
HN
2866 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir
2867 supports. It is used to select the cache_dir to store the object.
41bd17a4 2868 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
2869 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2870 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2871
41bd17a4 2872 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
2873 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
2874 option.

2949 mark object eviction becomes more aggressive. If utilization is

3110 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
3111 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
3112 the order of transaction start time. Each time
3113 value is recorded as an integer number,
3114 representing response time of one or more
3115 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
3116 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
3117 being retried or repeated, its time is not
3118 logged individually but added to the
3119 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
3120 adapt::all_trs.
3121
3122 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
3123 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
3124 individual transactions are never added
3125 together. Instead, all transaction response
3126 times are recorded individually.
3127
3128 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
3129 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
3130 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3207 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per

3210 The icap_log option format is:
3211 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3212 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3213
3214 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3215 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3216 features.
3217
3218 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3219 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3220 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3221 log line.
3222
3223 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3224 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3225 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3226 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3227 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3228 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3229 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3230
3231 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3232
3233 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3234
3235 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3236 option in Squid configuration file.
3237
3238 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3239
3240 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3241 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3242
3243 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3244 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3245
3246 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3247 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3248 the socket).
3249
bae917ac
CT
3250 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3251 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3252 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3253 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3254 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3255 computed.
3256
3ff65596

3257 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3258 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3259 the ICAP transaction is created and

41bd17a4 3395 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3396 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3397 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
3398 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

4264DOC_START
4265 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4266 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4267 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4268 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4269 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4270 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4271
4272 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4273 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4274 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4275 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4276 as if dechunking was disabled.
4277
4278 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4279 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4280
4281 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4282 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4283 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

41bd17a4 4300 Note: certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations generate an
4301 extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly
4302 forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow
4303 a request with an extra CRLF.

4342DOC_START
4343 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4344 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4345 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4346 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4347 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4348 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4349 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4350 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4351 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4352 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4353 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4354 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4355 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4356 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4357 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4358 force fresh content.

5261 All client_delay_access options are checked in their pool ID
5262 order, starting with pool 1. The first checked pool with allowed
5263 request is selected for the request. If no ACL matches or there
5264 are no client_delay_access options, the request bandwidth is not
5265 limited.
5266
5267 The ACL-selected pool is then used to find the

5269 not used to aggregate clients. Clients are always aggregated
5270 based on their source IP addresses (one bucket per source IP).

5406 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
5407 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
5408 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
5409 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
5410 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
5411 using the wccp2_service_info option.
5412
5413 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
5414 just specifying the service id will suffice.

5416 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
5417 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

5473c134 5751 caches.
cccac0a2 5752
5473c134 5753 The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address.
cccac0a2 5754
8524d4b2 5755 Instead it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address.
5756 Only change this if you want to have UDP queries sent using another
5757 address than where this Squid listens for UDP queries from other
5473c134 5758 caches.

8524d4b2 5760 NOTE: udp_outgoing_address is used by the ICP, HTCP, and DNS
5761 modules. Altering it will affect all of them in the same manner.

6155 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
6156 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
6157 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
6158 the first authentication related acl encountered
6159 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
6160 acl processed on the last http_access line.

0b0cfcf2 6253
5473c134 6254 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6255 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6256 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6257 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6258 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6259
5473c134 6260 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6261 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6262
5473c134 6263 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
f16fbc82 6264
5473c134 6265 acl FTP proto FTP
6266 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6267
5473c134 6268 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6269 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6270 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6271 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6272 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6273
5473c134 6274 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6275 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6276 always_direct deny local-external
6277 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6278
5473c134 6279 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6280 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6281 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6282 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6283
5473c134 6284 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6285 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
b3567eb5 6286 the replies see the 'cache' directive.

6299 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
6300 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
6301
6302 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6303 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6304 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6305 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6306
6307 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
5473c134 6308 never_direct deny local-servers
6309 never_direct allow all
6310
6311 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6312 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6313
6314 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6315 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6316 always_direct deny local-external
6317 always_direct allow local-intranet

6693 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6694 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify

6696 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6697 service_names differ.

6701 the following name=value options:
6702
6703 bypass=on|off|1|0
6704 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6705 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6706 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6707 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6708 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6709 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6710 returned to the HTTP client.
6711
6712 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6713
6714 routing=on|off|1|0
6715 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6716 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6717 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6718 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6719 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
e2851fe7
AR
6720 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
6721 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
6722 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.

6744 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all

6910
6911 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that

6942 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were

6945 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
6946 does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
6947 "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).
6948
6949 The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
6950 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6951
6952 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
6953 essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for

7026 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
7027 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
7028 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
7029 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
7030 with the master transaction.
7031
7032 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
7033 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
7034
7035 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
7036 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
6666da11
AR
7037 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
7038
7039 An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the

7041 to provide an option with a name specified in
7042 adaptation_masterx_shared_names.

7062 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
7063 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
7064
7065 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
7066 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
7067
7068 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
7069 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
7070 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
7071 example:
7072
7073 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
7074 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
7075
7076 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret

7078
7079 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
7080 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
7081
7082 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
7083 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
7084 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes

7223 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
7224 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
7225 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
7226 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
7227
7228 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
7229 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
7230 necessary.
7231
7232 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
7233 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
7234 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
7235 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
7236 sizes being advertised by Squid.
7237 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
7238 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

7719 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
7720 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
7721 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
7722 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
7723 until all the child processes have been started.
7724 On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
7725 rounded to 1000.

7735 On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will
7736 reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
7737 proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
7738 In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
7739 desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
7740 Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.

7784 Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,...
7785
7786 Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,
7787
7788 cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7
7789
7790 affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first
7791 four even cores, starting with core #1.
7792
7793 CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for
7794 sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls.
7795
7796 Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged.
