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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1572 * HTTP message Forwarded header, or
1573 * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or

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

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

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

2418 Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid
2419 listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various
2420 ways to specify the listening address and mode.
2421
2422 Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options]
2423
2424 WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen
2425 limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not
2426 currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not
2427 even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying!
2428
2429 Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests
2430 with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives
2431 actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs).
2432
2433 Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or
2434 wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP
2435 responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages
2436 are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers
2437 between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to
2438 examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP
2439 mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example,
2440 http_access and adaptation_access directives are used.
2441
2442 Modes:
2443
3cc0f4e7 2444 intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is
8a2f40dd
AR
2445 determined based on the intended destination of the
2446 intercepted connection.
2447
3cc0f4e7
AR
2448 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing
2449 connections using the client IP address.
2450 NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port.
2451
8a2f40dd
AR
2452 By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the
2453 FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER
2454 command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying.
2455
2456 Options:
2457

2458 name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to
2459 the port address. Usable with myportname ACL.

2732 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
2733 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
2734 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
2735 and Request-URI components:
2736
2737 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
2738 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.

2767 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used

2769 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
2770 security policy and sandboxing protections.
2771
2772 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
2773 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
2774 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
2775 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may

41bd17a4 3343 cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options]
2b94f655 3344
41bd17a4 3345 For example,

AJ
3354 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
3355
3356 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
3357
3358 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
3359 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
3360 For web servers this is usually 80
3361
3362 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
3363 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
3364 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
3365
3366
3367 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
3368
3369 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
3370 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
3371
3372
3373 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
3374
3375 multicast-responder
3376 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
3377 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
3378 replies will be accepted from it.
3379
3380 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
3381 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
3382
3383 background-ping
3384 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
3385 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
3386 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
3387
3388
3389 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
3390
3391 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
3392 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
3393
3394
3395 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
3396 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
3397 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
3398 list of options described below.
2b94f655 3399
18191440 3400 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 3401
18191440 3402 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 3403 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 3404 only-clr.
2b94f655 3405
18191440
AJ
3406 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
3407 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 3408
18191440 3409 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
3410 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
3411 they do not result from PURGE requests.
3412
18191440 3413 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
3414 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
3415
3416
3417 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
3418
3419 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
3420 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
3421
3422
3423 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
3424 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
3425 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
3426
3427 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3428 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
3429 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3430
3431 weighted-round-robin
3432 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3433 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
3434 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
3435 Usually used for background-ping parents.
3436 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3437
3438 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
3439 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
3440 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
3441
3442 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
3443
3444 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
3445
3446 multicast-siblings
3447 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
3448 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2e9993e1 3449 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
8a368316
AJ
3450 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
3451 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
3452 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
3453 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
3454
3455
3456 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
3457
3458 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
3459 peer-selection mechanisms.
3460 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
3461 larger weights are favored more.
3462 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
3463 protocol is not in use.
3464
3465 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
3466 times of parents.
3467 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
3468 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
3469 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
3470
3c72389f
AJ
3471 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
3472 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
3473 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
3474 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
3475 hosts, you must configure other group members as
3476 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
3477
3478 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
3479 delay pools.
3480
3481 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
3482 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
3483 than the Squid default location.
3484
3485
de03b596
FC
3486 ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
3487
3488 carp-key=key-specification
3489 use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
3490 the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
3491 scheme, host, port, path, params
3492 Order is not important.
3493
2b94f655
AJ
3494 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
3495
3496 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
3497 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
3498 is a web server.
3499
3500 forceddomain=name
3501 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
3502 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
3503 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
3504 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
3505
3506 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
3507
3508 no-netdb-exchange
3509 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
3510
3511
3512 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
3513
3514 login=user:password
3515 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3516 requires proxy authentication.
3517
3518 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
3519 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
3520
11e4c5e5
AJ
3521 login=PASSTHRU
3522 Send login details received from client to this peer.
3523 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
3524 without alteration to the peer.
3525 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
3526
3527 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
3528 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
3529 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 3530
2b94f655
AJ
3531 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
3532 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 3533
2b94f655
AJ
3534 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
3535 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
3536 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
3537 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
3538
3539 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
3540 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
3541 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
3542 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
3543 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
3544
3545 login=*:password
3546 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
3547 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
3548 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
3549 needed to identify each user.
3550 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
3551 information which is added to the username. This can
3552 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
3553 the login=username:password option above.
3554
9ca29d23
AJ
3555 login=NEGOTIATE
3556 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3557 requires a secure proxy authentication.
3558 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
3559 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
3560
63f03f79
PL
3561 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple

3563 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
3564
9ca29d23
AJ
3565 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
3566 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3567 requires a secure proxy authentication.

2b94f655
AJ
3576 connection-auth=on|off
3577 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
3578 connection oriented authentication, and any such
3579 challenges received from there should be ignored.
3580 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
3581 of the peer.
3582
9825b398
AJ
3583 auth-no-keytab
3584 Do not use a keytab to authenticate to a peer when
3585 login=NEGOTIATE is specified. Let the GSSAPI

3686 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
3687
3688 connect-timeout=N
3689 A peer-specific connect timeout.
3690 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
3691
3692 connect-fail-limit=N
3693 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
e8dca475
CT
3694 it is marked as down. Standby connection failures
3695 count towards this limit. Default is 10.
2b94f655
AJ
3696
3697 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
3698 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
a5bb0c26
AR
3699 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use
3700 of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way
3701 to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to
3702 deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer:
3703 acl fromPeer ...
3704 cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer
2b94f655 3705
e8dca475
CT
3706 max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid
3707 may open to this peer, including already opened idle
3708 and standby connections. There is no peer-specific
3709 connection limit by default.
3710
3711 A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new
3712 requests unless a standby connection is available.
3713
3714 max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent
3715 connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit,
3716 and there are idle persistent connections to the peer,
3717 the peer may not be selected because the limiting code
3718 does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle
3719 connections.
3720
3721 standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an
3722 UP peer, available for requests when no idle
3723 persistent connection is available (or safe) to use.
3724 By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained.
3725 N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any).
3726
3727 At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP
3728 standby connections until there are N connections
3729 available and then replenishes the standby pool as
3730 opened connections are used up for requests. A used
3731 connection never goes back to the standby pool, but
3732 may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool
3733 shared by all peers and origin servers.
3734
3735 Squid never opens multiple new standby connections
3736 concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes
3737 flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few
3738 standby connections should be sufficient in most cases
3739 to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use
3740 connection.
3741

3743 For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be
3744 configured to accept and keep them open longer than
3745 the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize
3746 race conditions typical to idle used persistent

3780 cache_peer hostname parameter.
3781
3782 This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but
3783 does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are
3784 contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms
3785 (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation).
3786
3787 If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted
3788 for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and
3789 will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves
3790 the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given
3791 peer wins for that peer.
3792
3793 The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
3794 matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives
3795 for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a
3796 good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
3797 together.
3798
3799 A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times
3800 for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms
3801 may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks
3802 may be optimized away in future Squid versions.

3835 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
3836 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
3837 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
3838 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
3839 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
3840 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.

41bd17a4 3842 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
3843 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
3844 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
3845 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
3846 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you

3875 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
3876 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
3877 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
3878
3879 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
3880 for:
3881 * In-Transit objects
3882 * Hot Objects
3883 * Negative-Cached objects
3884
3885 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
3886 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
3887 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
3888 priority.
3889
3890 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
3891 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
3892 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
3893 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
3894 not needed for in-transit objects.
3895
3896 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
3897 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
3898 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
3899 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
3900 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
3901 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
3902 objects.

3940 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
3941 and GCC-style atomic operations).
3942
3943 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms

41bd17a4 3998 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller

0976f8db 4002
41bd17a4 4003 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of

AR
4150 If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
4151 process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
4152 I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers
4153 are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
4154 for the IpcIo disk I/O module.

4156 swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
4157 reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
4158 will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
4159 default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
4160 enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
4161 blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
4162 expected swap wait time.
4163
df881a0f 4164 max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
1e614370 4165 the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
df881a0f 4166 would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
1e614370
DK
4167 delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
4168 not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
4169 since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
4170 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
4171 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
df881a0f
AR
4172 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
4173 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
4174 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
4175 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default

4179 slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for

4181 one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so
4182 increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while
4183 decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a
4184 multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to
4185 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and
4186 smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than

4222 How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response
4223 object will fit into more than one.
4224
4225 Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size
4226 and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect
4227 the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered
4228 cache_dir.
4229
4230 Algorithms:
4231
4232 least-load
4233
4234 This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir
4235 sizes and disk speeds.
4236
4237 The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
4238 When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
4239 the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
4240
4241 When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
4242 have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
4243 capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
4244 may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
4245
4246
4247 round-robin
4248
4249 This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
4250 disk sizes.
4251
4252 Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
4253 cache_dir is used.
4254
4255 Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
4256 to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
4257 max-size parameters.
4258
4259 Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
4260 disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
4261 I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.
4262
29a238a3
AR
4263 If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other
4264 limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such
4265 cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias
4266 towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave
4267 cache_dir lines from different groups. For example:
4268
4269 store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin
4270 cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000
4271 cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999
4272 cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000
4273 cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999
4274 cache_dir rock /hdd3 ... min-size=100000

4658 being retried or repeated, its time is not
4659 logged individually but added to the
4660 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
4661 adapt::all_trs.
4662
4663 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
4664 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
4665 individual transactions are never added
4666 together. Instead, all transaction response
4667 times are recorded individually.
4668
4669 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
4670 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
4671 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

4695 Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions.
4696 If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every
4697 matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are:
4698
4699 access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
4700 access_log none [acl acl ...]
4701
4702 The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated:

fb0c2f17
NH
4704
4705 In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character
4706 and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always

82b7abe3

4714 ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
4715
4716 logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or
4717 defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
4718 to 'squid'.
4719
4720 buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log
4721 records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not
4722 keep more than the specified size and, hence,
4723 should flush records before the buffer becomes
4724 full to avoid overflows under normal
4725 conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
4726 module-dependent though). The on-error option
4727 controls overflow handling.
4728
4729 on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
4730 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
4731 affected log records. The default 'die' action
4732 kills the affected worker. The drop action
4733 support has not been tested for modules other
4734 than tcp.
4735
efc23871
AJ
4736 rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to
4737 make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default
4738 is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting
4739 rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation,
4740 but the log files are still closed and re-opened.
4741 This will enable you to rename the logfiles
4742 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

4789 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per

4792 The icap_log option format is:
4793 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
4794 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
4795
4796 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
4797 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
4798 features.
4799
4800 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
4801 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
4802 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
4803 log line.
4804
bd59d61c
EB
4805 ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context,
4806 HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded
4807 in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP
4808 messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used
4809 for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example:
4810
4811 http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to
4812 the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are
4813 HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP
4814 response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them
4815 (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD).
4816
4817 http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP
4818 service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular
4819 REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during
4820 request satisfaction in REQMOD).
4821
4822 ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages.
4823
4824 Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP
4825 message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message
4826 (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When
4827 computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid
4828 either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see
4829 code-specific documentation for details.
4830
4831 For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently
4832 computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not
4833 in use at all.
3ff65596

4834
4835 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:

4837 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.

4839 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
4840 option in Squid configuration file.

4858 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
4859 milliseconds). The timer starts when
4860 the ICAP transaction is created and
4861 stops when the transaction is completed.
4862 Similar to tr.
4863
4864 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
4865 timer starts when the first ICAP request
4866 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
4867 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
4868 is received.

5635 The maximum number of StoreID helper processes to spawn. If you limit
5636 it too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of
5637 requests, slowing it down. If you allow too many they will use RAM
5638 and other system resources noticably.
5639
5640 The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your
5641 tuning.
5642
5643 startup=
5644
5645 Sets a minimum of how many processes are to be spawned when Squid
5646 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
5647 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
5648
5649 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
5650 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.
5651
5652 idle=
5653
5654 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
5655 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing
5656 processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum
5657 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.
5658
5659 concurrency=
5660
5661 The number of requests each storeID helper can handle in
5662 parallel. Defaults to 0 which indicates the helper
5663 is a old-style single threaded program.
5664
5665 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
5666 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
5667 an ID in front of the request/response. The ID from the request
5668 must be echoed back with the response to that request.

5673 is 2*numberofchildren. If the queued requests exceed queue size and
5674 redirector_bypass configuration option is set, then redirector is bypassed.
5675 Otherwise, Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the configured maximum,
5676 marking the affected helper as "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts
5677 more than 3 minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload
5678 option applies.
5679
5680 on-persistent-overload=action
5681
5682 Specifies Squid reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper
5683 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number of queued
5684 requests determines whether the helper is overloaded (see the queue-size
5685 option).
5686
5687 Two actions are supported:
5688
5689 die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior.
5690
5691 ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was

6104 The default is 60 seconds.
6105
6106 In reverse proxy environments it might be desirable to honor
6107 shorter object lifetimes. It is most likely better to make
6108 your server return a meaningful Last-Modified header however.
6109
6110 In ESI environments where page fragments often have short
6111 lifetimes, this will often be best set to 0.

0976f8db 6298
41bd17a4 6299 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
6300 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
3b07476b
CT
6301 more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
6302 removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
6303
6304 This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
6305 headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
6306 or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
6307 detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
6308 terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
6309
6310 The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
6311 fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
6312 qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
6313
6314 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
6315 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
6316 on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
6317 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
6318
6319 Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
6320 If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
6321 go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
6322 removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
6323 if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
6324 set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.

6559 When enabled, instead of forwarding each concurrent request for
6560 the same URL, Squid just sends the first of them. The other, so
6561 called "collapsed" requests, wait for the response to the first
6562 request and, if it happens to be cachable, use that response.
6563 Here, "concurrent requests" means "received after the first
6564 request headers were parsed and before the corresponding response
6565 headers were parsed".
6566
6567 This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed
6568 forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look
6569 cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded
6570 individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable
6571 content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly
6572 cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the
6573 gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh
6574 requests] outweigh losses from such delays.
6575
6576 Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests
6577 received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache
6578 revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular
6579 requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing
6580 is currently disabled for Squid instances containing SMP-aware
6581 disk or memory caches and for Vary-controlled cached objects.

6590 This limits the size of a table used for sharing information
6591 about collapsible entries among SMP workers. Limiting sharing
6592 too much results in cache content duplication and missed
6593 collapsing opportunities. Using excessively large values
6594 wastes shared memory.
6595
6596 The limit should be significantly larger then the number of
6597 concurrent collapsible entries one wants to share. For a cache
6598 that handles less than 5000 concurrent requests, the default
6599 setting of 16384 should be plenty.
6600
6601 If the limit is set to zero, it disables sharing of collapsed
6602 forwarding between SMP workers.

6717 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to

6722 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one

7160 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
7161 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
0b68481a 7162 description of delay_class.
9edd9041 7163
0b68481a 7164 For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
6e7502cc 7165 delay_class pool 1
0b68481a 7166 delay_parameters pool aggregate
9edd9041 7167

0b68481a 7174 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
9edd9041 7175

0b68481a 7178 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
9edd9041 7179

9edd9041 7183

9edd9041 7191 (class 1, 2, 3).
7192
fdb47ac6 7193 individual the speed limit parameters for the individual
9edd9041 7194 buckets (class 2, 3).
7195
fdb47ac6 7196 network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets
9edd9041 7197 (class 3).
7198

fdb47ac6 7202 tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets
9edd9041 7203 (class 5).
7204
7205 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
7206 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
7207 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
7208 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.

7210 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.

7212
9edd9041 7213 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
0b68481a 7214 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec
9edd9041 7215 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

9edd9041 7222
0b68481a 7223
9edd9041 7224 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
0b68481a
AJ
7225 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
7226 with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
7227 individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
9edd9041 7228 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
7229 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
7230 large downloads more significantly:

9edd9041 7237
9edd9041 7238
7239 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will

7558DOC_START
7559 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
7560 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
7561 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
7562 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
7563 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
7564 using the wccp2_service_info option.
7565
7566 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
7567 just specifying the service id will suffice.
7568
7569 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
7570 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.
7571
7572 Examples:
7573
7574 wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service
7575 wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be
7576 # fleshed out with subsequent options.

8342 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

8345 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.

8347 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
8348 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
8349 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
8350 the first authentication related acl encountered
8351 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
8352 acl processed on the last http_access line.

8729 not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its

8735
8736 Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
8737 value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm
8738 is approximate because Squid does not remember individual
8739 errors but groups them instead, splitting the option
8740 value into ten time slots of equal length.

8742 When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no
8743 effect on service failure expiration.

8745 Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings
8746 using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option
8747 setting.

8915 icaps://servername:port/servicepath
8916 The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and
8917 service location (default port is 1344, connections are not
8918 encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP
8919 services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by
8920 default, on port 11344).
a22e6cd3
AR
8921
8922 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
8923 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
8924 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
8925 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
8926 service_names differ.
8927

8929 services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set.

8931 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
8932 the following name=value options:
8933
8934 bypass=on|off|1|0
8935 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
8936 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
8937 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
8938 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
8939 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
8940 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
8941 returned to the HTTP client.
8942
8943 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
8944
8945 routing=on|off|1|0
8946 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
8947 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
8948 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
8949 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
8950 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
e2851fe7
AR
8951 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
8952 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
8953 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.
8954
8955 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
8956 vectoring points in their natural processing order.

8970 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
8971 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
8972 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
8973
8974 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
8975 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
8976 workers may use a given service.

8978 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
8979 otherwise it is set to "wait".

9236 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that

9352 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
9353 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
9354 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
9355 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
9356 with the master transaction.

9388 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
9389 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
9390
9391 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
9392 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
9393
9394 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
9395 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
9396 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
9397 example:
9398
9399 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
9400 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
9401
9402 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret

9404
9405 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
9406 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
9407
9408 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
9409 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
9410 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes
9411 and double quotes. For example,

9509 Set to "none" to disable EDNS large packet support.
9510
9511 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
9512 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
9513 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
9514 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
9515 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
9516
9517 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
9518 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
9519 necessary.
9520
9521 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
9522 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
9523 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
9524 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
9525 sizes being advertised by Squid.
9526 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
9527 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

10115DEFAULT_DOC: Deny, unless rules exist in squid.conf.
10116DOC_START
10117 This option controls how Squid handles data upload requests from HTTP
10118 and FTP agents that require a "Please Continue" control message response
10119 to actually send the request body to Squid. It is mostly useful in
10120 adaptation environments.
10121
10122 When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue"
10123 header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the
10124 request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or
10125 peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some
10126 broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may
10127 decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However,
10128 that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not
10129 responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message
10130 to the request sender yet!
10131
10132 An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150
10133 (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the
10134 request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces
10135 the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells
10136 Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms
10137 that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior.

10143DEFAULT_DOC: Open new connections for forwarding requests Squid cannot retry safely.
10144LOC: Config.accessList.serverPconnForNonretriable
10145DOC_START
10146 This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection
10147 reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful
10148 in environments where opening new connections is very expensive
10149 (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server
10150 certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent
10151 connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems.
10152
10153 HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST).
10154 Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT).
10155 By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new
10156 connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent
10157 connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable
10158 request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes
10159 the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response
10160 from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway)
10161 with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail.
10162
10163 If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection
10164 (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then
10165 Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry.
10166
10167 This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle
10168 persistent connections (if any).
10169
10170 This clause only supports fast acl types.
