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. | |

46 | Values with byte units |
47 | ||
a01a87d9 AJ |
48 | Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All |
49 | such directives are documented with a default value displaying | |
50 | a unit. | |
a345387f AJ |
51 | |
52 | Units accepted by Squid are: | |
a01a87d9 AJ |
53 | bytes - byte |
54 | KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes) | |
a345387f AJ |
55 | MB - Megabyte |
56 | GB - Gigabyte | |

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 | ||
5735d30b AR |
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. | |
96 | ||
97 | ||
d4a3e179 AR |
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. | |

cccac0a2 | 431 | DEFAULT: none |
432 | DOC_START | |
41bd17a4 | 433 | This is used to define parameters for the various authentication |
434 | schemes supported by Squid. | |
cccac0a2 | 435 | |
66c583dc | 436 | format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] |
cccac0a2 | 437 | |
41bd17a4 | 438 | The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is |
439 | dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE | |
440 | has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic | |
441 | scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure | |
442 | schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended | |
443 | settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't | |
444 | recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either | |
445 | put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their | |
446 | program entry). | |
cccac0a2 | 447 | |
41bd17a4 | 448 | Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be |
449 | shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on | |
450 | the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a | |
451 | different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. | |
cccac0a2 | 452 | |
41bd17a4 | 453 | Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes |
454 | authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. | |
455 | To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based | |
456 | on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or | |
457 | external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be | |
458 | challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered | |
459 | in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new | |
460 | login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth | |
461 | type acl. | |
cccac0a2 | 462 | |
41bd17a4 | 463 | WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting |
464 | proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and | |
465 | not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to | |
466 | transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. | |
b3567eb5 FC |
467 | Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have |

481 | "key_extras" format |
482 | Specifies a string to be append to request line format for | |
483 | the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain | |
484 | spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro | |
485 | can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if | |
486 | the helper request is sent before the required macro | |
487 | information is available to Squid. | |
488 | ||
489 | By default, Squid uses request formats provided in | |
490 | scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). | |
491 | ||
492 | The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials | |
493 | cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to | |
494 | autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., | |
495 | when user authentication depends on http_port). | |
496 | ||
497 | Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For | |
498 | example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently | |
499 | in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat | |
500 | every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL | |
501 | and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also | |
502 | force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP | |
503 | changes. | |
504 | ||
505 | "realm" string | |
506 | Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be | |
507 | reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is | |
508 | commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for | |
509 | their username and password. | |
510 | ||
511 | For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". | |
512 | For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. | |
513 | For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. | |
5269ec0e | 514 | |
6825b101 | 515 | "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] [queue-size=N] |
5269ec0e | 516 | |
66c583dc AJ |
517 | The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If |
518 | you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process | |
519 | a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When | |
520 | password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are | |
521 | likely to need lots of authenticator processes. | |
5269ec0e | 522 | |
66c583dc AJ |
523 | The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact |
524 | amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup | |
525 | and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to | |
526 | idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N | |
527 | free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. | |
5269ec0e | 528 | |
66c583dc AJ |
529 | The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests |
530 | the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers | |
531 | who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a | |
532 | number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a | |
533 | channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing | |
534 | multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel | |
535 | without waiting for the response. | |
cccac0a2 | 536 | |
66c583dc AJ |
537 | Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper |
538 | supports the input format with channel-ID fields. | |
cccac0a2 | 539 | |
6825b101 CT |
540 | The queue-size= option sets the maximum number of queued |
541 | requests. If the queued requests exceed queue size for more | |
542 | than 3 minutes then squid aborts its operation. | |
543 | The default value is set to 2*numberofchildren/ | |

800 | using the FORMAT macros listed above. | |
801 | ||
802 | acl-values consists of any string specified in the referencing | |
803 | config 'acl ... external' line. see the "acl external" directive. | |
804 | ||
805 | Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect | |
806 | each value in requests against whitespaces. | |
807 | ||
808 | If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not | |
809 | URL escaped to protect against whitespace. | |
810 | ||
811 | NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. | |
812 | ||
813 | When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by | |
814 | introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. | |
815 | The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. | |
816 | This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part | |
817 | of the response relating to its request. | |
818 | ||
819 | ||
820 | The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification | |

832 | the ACL test produced a match. | |
833 | ||
834 | ERR | |
835 | the ACL test does not produce a match. | |

cccac0a2 | 896 | |
375eeb3b AJ |
897 | Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype, |
898 | followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that | |
899 | they are read from. | |

901 | acl aclname acltype argument ... |
902 | acl aclname acltype "file" ... | |

375eeb3b | 904 | When using "file", the file should contain one item per line. |

906 | Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour. |
907 | The available options are: | |
908 | ||
909 | -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them | |
910 | case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive | |
911 | use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line | |
912 | without -i. | |
913 | ||
914 | -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or | |
915 | conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or | |
916 | domain name) does not match the message address type (domain | |
917 | name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch | |
918 | without any warnings or lookups. | |
919 | ||
920 | -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl | |
921 | value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-' | |
922 | is a valid domain name) | |
cccac0a2 | 923 | |

924 | Some acl types require suspending the current request in order |
925 | to access some external data source. | |
926 | Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which | |
927 | don't are marked as [fast]. | |

1285 | It is checked only once after TCP connection setup. | |

1287 | A deny match results in TCP connection closure. | |
1288 | ||
1289 | An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding | |
1290 | TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers. | |
1291 | If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information | |
1292 | to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL | |
1293 | checks, logging, etc. | |

1326 | ||
3d674977 | 1327 | If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this |

1328 | directive, then we trust the information it provides regarding |
1329 | the IP of the client it received from (if any). | |
1330 | ||

1332 | matches the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS. | |
1333 | ||
70a16fea AJ |
1334 | On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields. |
1335 | If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow | |
1336 | match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value. | |
1337 | The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be | |
1338 | tested, or there are no more values to test. | |
1339 | NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header. | |
3d674977 AJ |
1340 | |
1341 | The end result of this process is an IP address that we will | |
1342 | refer to as the indirect client address. This address may | |
57d76dd4 | 1343 | be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay |

41bd17a4 | 1650 | A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause an ident |
1651 | (RFC 931) lookup to be performed for this request. For | |
1652 | example, you might choose to always perform ident lookups | |
1653 | for your main multi-user Unix boxes, but not for your Macs | |
1654 | and PCs. By default, ident lookups are not performed for | |
1655 | any requests. | |
5473c134 | 1656 | |
41bd17a4 | 1657 | To enable ident lookups for specific client addresses, you |
1658 | can follow this example: | |

1678 | DOC_START | |
1679 | This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be | |
1680 | used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as | |
1681 | MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the | |
1682 | reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where | |
1683 | all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size | |
1684 | for this reply. | |
1685 | ||
1686 | This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers, | |
1687 | we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists | |
1688 | and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the | |
1689 | user receives an error message that says "the request or reply | |
1690 | is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply | |
1691 | size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed | |
1692 | and they will receive a partial reply. | |
1693 | ||
1694 | WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply | |
1695 | if there is no content-length header, so they will cache | |
1696 | partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT | |
1697 | use this option if you have downstream caches. | |
1698 | ||
1699 | WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages | |
1700 | will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest | |
1701 | non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus | |

1721 | beginning of an accepted TCP connection or the beginning of a bumped |
1722 | CONNECT tunnel. Controlling Squid reaction to unexpected traffic is | |
1723 | especially useful in interception environments where Squid is likely | |
1724 | to see connections for unsupported protocols that Squid should either | |
1725 | terminate or tunnel at TCP level. | |

56d089f3 | 1729 | The first matching action wins. Only fast ACLs are supported. |
3248e962 CT |
1730 | |
1731 | Supported actions are: | |
1732 | ||
1733 | tunnel: Establish a TCP connection with the intended server and | |
1734 | blindly shovel TCP packets between the client and server. | |
1735 | ||
1736 | respond: Respond with an error message, using the transfer protocol | |
1737 | for the Squid port that received the request (e.g., HTTP | |
1738 | for connections intercepted at the http_port). This is the | |
1739 | default. | |
56d089f3 CT |
1740 | |
1741 | Squid expects the following traffic patterns: | |
1742 | ||
1743 | http_port: a plain HTTP request | |
1744 | https_port: SSL/TLS handshake followed by an [encrypted] HTTP request | |
1745 | ftp_port: a plain FTP command (no on_unsupported_protocol support yet!) | |
1746 | CONNECT tunnel on http_port: same as https_port | |
1747 | CONNECT tunnel on https_port: same as https_port | |
1748 | ||
9155253a | 1749 | Currently, this directive has effect on intercepted connections and |
56d089f3 CT |
1750 | bumped tunnels only. Other cases are not supported because Squid |
1751 | cannot know the intended destination of other traffic. | |
3248e962 CT |
1752 | |
1753 | For example: | |
1754 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving non-HTTP traffic: | |
1755 | acl foreignProtocol squid_error ERR_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN ERR_TOO_BIG | |
1756 | # define what Squid errors indicate receiving nothing: | |
1757 | acl serverTalksFirstProtocol squid_error ERR_REQUEST_START_TIMEOUT | |
1758 | # tunnel everything that does not look like HTTP: | |
1759 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel foreignProtocol | |
1760 | # tunnel if we think the client waits for the server to talk first: | |
1761 | on_unsupported_protocol tunnel serverTalksFirstProtocol | |
1762 | # in all other error cases, just send an HTTP "error page" response: | |

1784 | There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and | |
1785 | IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP | |
1786 | address, Squid binds the socket to that specific | |
c7b1dd5d | 1787 | address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific |
5b0f5383 | 1788 | address, so you can use the port number alone. |

2056 | Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid |
2057 | listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various | |
2058 | ways to specify the listening address and mode. | |
2059 | ||
2060 | Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options] | |
2061 | ||
2062 | WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen | |
2063 | limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not | |
2064 | currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not | |
2065 | even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying! | |
2066 | ||
2067 | Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests | |
2068 | with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives | |
2069 | actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs). | |
2070 | ||
2071 | Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or | |
2072 | wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP | |
2073 | responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages | |
2074 | are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers | |
2075 | between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to | |
2076 | examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP | |
2077 | mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, | |
2078 | http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. | |
2079 | ||
2080 | Modes: | |
2081 | ||
3cc0f4e7 | 2082 | intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is |
8a2f40dd AR |
2083 | determined based on the intended destination of the |
2084 | intercepted connection. | |
2085 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2086 | tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing |
2087 | connections using the client IP address. | |
2088 | NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. | |
2089 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2090 | By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the |
2091 | FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER | |
2092 | command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying. | |
2093 | ||
2094 | Options: | |
2095 | ||
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2096 | name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to |
2097 | the port address. Usable with myportname ACL. | |
2098 | ||

8a2f40dd AR |
2100 | Enables tracking of FTP directories by injecting extra |
2101 | PWD commands and adjusting Request-URI (in wrapping | |
2102 | HTTP requests) to reflect the current FTP server | |
aea65fec | 2103 | directory. Tracking is disabled by default. |
8a2f40dd | 2104 | |
3cc0f4e7 AR |
2105 | protocol=FTP Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted |
2106 | requests with. Defaults to FTP. No other accepted | |
2107 | values have been tested with. An unsupported value | |
2108 | results in a FATAL error. Accepted values are FTP, | |
2109 | HTTP (or HTTP/1.1), and HTTPS (or HTTPS/1.1). | |
2110 | ||
8a2f40dd AR |
2111 | Other http_port modes and options that are not specific to HTTP and |
2112 | HTTPS may also work. | |

2363 | the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic | |
2364 | as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the | |

2366 | and Request-URI components: | |
2367 | ||
2368 | * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical, | |
2369 | but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks. | |
2370 | For the two host names to match, both must be either IP | |
2371 | or FQDN. | |
2372 | ||
2373 | * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing | |
2374 | the scheme-default port is assumed. | |

2403 | The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their | |

2418 | source using the HTTP Host header. | |
2419 | ||
2420 | Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster | |
2421 | connectivity with a range of failure recovery options. | |
2422 | But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and | |
2423 | server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy. | |
2424 | ||
2425 | This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being | |
2426 | located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server. | |
2427 | The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead. | |
2428 | ||
2429 | Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted | |
2430 | traffic Squid will verify the Host: header and any traffic which | |
2431 | fails Host verification will be treated as if this option were ON. | |
2432 | ||
2433 | see host_verify_strict for details on the verification process. | |

2b94f655 AJ |
2949 | cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0 |
2950 | ||
2951 | type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. | |
2952 | ||
2953 | proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests. | |
2954 | For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128 | |
2955 | For web servers this is usually 80 | |
2956 | ||
2957 | icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects. | |
2958 | Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP. | |
2959 | See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details. | |
2960 | ||
2961 | ||
2962 | ==== ICP OPTIONS ==== | |
2963 | ||
2964 | You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
2965 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP. | |
2966 | ||
2967 | ||
2968 | no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor. | |
2969 | ||
2970 | multicast-responder | |
2971 | Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group. | |
2972 | ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP | |
2973 | replies will be accepted from it. | |
2974 | ||
2975 | closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward | |
2976 | CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. | |
2977 | ||
2978 | background-ping | |
2979 | To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently. | |
2980 | This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated | |
2981 | and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin. | |
2982 | ||
2983 | ||
2984 | ==== HTCP OPTIONS ==== | |
2985 | ||
2986 | You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options. | |
2987 | The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP. | |
2988 | ||
2989 | ||
2990 | htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor. | |
2991 | You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827 | |
18191440 AJ |
2992 | instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated |
2993 | list of options described below. | |
2b94f655 | 2994 | |
18191440 | 2995 | htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). |
2b94f655 | 2996 | |
18191440 | 2997 | htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without |
2b94f655 | 2998 | sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with |
18191440 | 2999 | only-clr. |
2b94f655 | 3000 | |
18191440 AJ |
3001 | htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. |
3002 | This cannot be used with no-clr. | |
2b94f655 | 3003 | |
18191440 | 3004 | htcp=no-purge-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3005 | Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when |
3006 | they do not result from PURGE requests. | |
3007 | ||
18191440 | 3008 | htcp=forward-clr |
2b94f655 AJ |
3009 | Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. |
3010 | ||
3011 | ||
3012 | ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== | |
3013 | ||
3014 | The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer | |
3015 | being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. | |
3016 | ||
3017 | ||
3018 | default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" | |
3019 | if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. | |
3020 | If specified more than once, only the first is used. | |
3021 | ||
3022 | round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3023 | fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. | |
3024 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3025 | ||
3026 | weighted-round-robin | |
3027 | Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin | |
3028 | fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the | |
3029 | round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. | |
3030 | Usually used for background-ping parents. | |
3031 | weight=N can be used to add bias. | |
3032 | ||
3033 | carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. | |
3034 | The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the | |
3035 | CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. | |
3036 | ||
3037 | userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. | |
3038 | ||
3039 | sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. | |
8a368316 AJ |
3040 | |
3041 | multicast-siblings | |
3042 | To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". | |
3043 | ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" | |
2e9993e1 | 3044 | relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast |
8a368316 AJ |
3045 | group when the requested object would be fetched only from |
3046 | a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when | |
3047 | configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being | |
3048 | members of the same multicast group. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3049 | |
3050 | ||
3051 | ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== | |
3052 | ||
3053 | weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted | |
3054 | peer-selection mechanisms. | |
3055 | The weight must be an integer; default is 1, | |
3056 | larger weights are favored more. | |
3057 | This option does not affect parent selection if a peering | |
3058 | protocol is not in use. | |
3059 | ||
3060 | basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip | |
3061 | times of parents. | |
3062 | It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating | |
3063 | which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the | |
3064 | base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. | |
3065 | ||
3c72389f AJ |
3066 | ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries |
3067 | to this address. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3068 | Only useful when sending to a multicast group. |
3069 | Because we don't accept ICP replies from random | |
3070 | hosts, you must configure other group members as | |
3071 | peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. | |
3072 | ||
3073 | no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the | |
3074 | delay pools. | |
3075 | ||
3076 | digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are | |
3077 | enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather | |
3078 | than the Squid default location. | |
3079 | ||
3080 | ||
de03b596 FC |
3081 | ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== |
3082 | ||
3083 | carp-key=key-specification | |
3084 | use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. | |
3085 | the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords | |
3086 | scheme, host, port, path, params | |
3087 | Order is not important. | |
3088 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3089 | ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== |
3090 | ||
3091 | originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. | |
3092 | Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer | |
3093 | is a web server. | |
3094 | ||
3095 | forceddomain=name | |
3096 | Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. | |
3097 | Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) | |
3098 | expects a certain domain name but clients may request | |
3099 | others. ie example.com or www.example.com | |
3100 | ||
3101 | no-digest Disable request of cache digests. | |
3102 | ||
3103 | no-netdb-exchange | |
3104 | Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). | |
3105 | ||
3106 | ||
3107 | ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== | |
3108 | ||
3109 | login=user:password | |
3110 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3111 | requires proxy authentication. | |
3112 | ||
3113 | Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for | |
3114 | spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. | |
3115 | ||
11e4c5e5 AJ |
3116 | login=PASSTHRU |
3117 | Send login details received from client to this peer. | |
3118 | Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed | |
3119 | without alteration to the peer. | |
3120 | Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. | |
3121 | ||
3122 | Note: This will pass any form of authentication but | |
3123 | only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the | |
3124 | connection-auth options are also used. | |
ee0b94f4 | 3125 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3126 | login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. |
3127 | Authentication is not required by this option. | |
11e4c5e5 | 3128 | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3129 | If there are no client-provided authentication headers |
3130 | to pass on, but username and password are available | |
ee0b94f4 HN |
3131 | from an external ACL user= and password= result tags |
3132 | they may be sent instead. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3133 | |
3134 | Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must | |
3135 | share the same user database as HTTP only allows for | |
3136 | a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). | |
3137 | Also be warned this will expose your users proxy | |
3138 | password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION | |
3139 | ||
3140 | login=*:password | |
3141 | Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a | |
3142 | fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer | |
3143 | is in another administrative domain, but it is still | |
3144 | needed to identify each user. | |
3145 | The star can optionally be followed by some extra | |
3146 | information which is added to the username. This can | |
3147 | be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to | |
3148 | the login=username:password option above. | |
3149 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3150 | login=NEGOTIATE |
3151 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3152 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3153 | The first principal from the default keytab or defined by | |
3154 | the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used. | |
3155 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3156 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3157 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3158 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3159 | ||
9ca29d23 AJ |
3160 | login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name |
3161 | If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent | |
3162 | requires a secure proxy authentication. | |
3163 | The principal principal_name from the default keytab or | |
3164 | defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be | |
3165 | used. | |
3166 | ||
63f03f79 PL |
3167 | WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple |
3168 | clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication | |
3169 | and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here. | |
3170 | ||
2b94f655 AJ |
3171 | connection-auth=on|off |
3172 | Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft | |
3173 | connection oriented authentication, and any such | |
3174 | challenges received from there should be ignored. | |
3175 | Default is auto to automatically determine the status | |
3176 | of the peer. | |

3265 | ||
3266 | connect-timeout=N | |
3267 | A peer-specific connect timeout. | |
3268 | Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. | |
3269 | ||
3270 | connect-fail-limit=N | |
3271 | How many times connecting to a peer must fail before | |
e8dca475 CT |
3272 | it is marked as down. Standby connection failures |
3273 | count towards this limit. Default is 10. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3274 | |
3275 | allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding | |
3276 | requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when | |
a5bb0c26 AR |
3277 | icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use |
3278 | of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way | |
3279 | to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to | |
3280 | deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer: | |
3281 | acl fromPeer ... | |
3282 | cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer | |
2b94f655 | 3283 | |
e8dca475 CT |
3284 | max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid |
3285 | may open to this peer, including already opened idle | |
3286 | and standby connections. There is no peer-specific | |
3287 | connection limit by default. | |
3288 | ||
3289 | A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new | |
3290 | requests unless a standby connection is available. | |
3291 | ||
3292 | max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent | |
3293 | connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, | |
3294 | and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, | |
3295 | the peer may not be selected because the limiting code | |
3296 | does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle | |
3297 | connections. | |
3298 | ||
3299 | standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an | |
3300 | UP peer, available for requests when no idle | |
3301 | persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. | |
3302 | By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. | |
3303 | N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). | |
3304 | ||
3305 | At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP | |
3306 | standby connections until there are N connections | |
3307 | available and then replenishes the standby pool as | |
3308 | opened connections are used up for requests. A used | |
3309 | connection never goes back to the standby pool, but | |
3310 | may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool | |
3311 | shared by all peers and origin servers. | |
3312 | ||
3313 | Squid never opens multiple new standby connections | |
3314 | concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes | |
3315 | flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few | |
3316 | standby connections should be sufficient in most cases | |
3317 | to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use | |
3318 | connection. | |
3319 | ||
3320 | Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. | |
3321 | For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be | |
3322 | configured to accept and keep them open longer than | |
3323 | the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize | |
3324 | race conditions typical to idle used persistent | |
3325 | connections. Default request_timeout and | |
3326 | server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a | |
3327 | configuration. | |
2b94f655 AJ |
3328 | |
3329 | name=xxx Unique name for the peer. | |
3330 | Required if you have multiple peers on the same host | |
3331 | but different ports. | |
3332 | This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar | |
a5bb0c26 | 3333 | directives to identify the peer. |
2b94f655 AJ |
3334 | Can be used by outgoing access controls through the |

3356 | For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the | |
3357 | cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the | |
3358 | cache_peer hostname parameter. | |
3359 | ||
3360 | This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but | |
3361 | does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are | |
3362 | contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms | |
3363 | (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation). | |
3364 | ||
3365 | If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted | |
3366 | for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and | |
3367 | will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves | |
3368 | the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given | |
3369 | peer wins for that peer. | |
3370 | ||
3371 | The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3372 | matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives | |
3373 | for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a | |
3374 | good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer | |
3375 | together. | |
3376 | ||
3377 | A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times | |
3378 | for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms | |
3379 | may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks | |
3380 | may be optimized away in future Squid versions. | |

3413 | This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache | |
3414 | as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this | |
3415 | amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not | |
3416 | expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it | |
3417 | continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as | |
3418 | alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. | |
699acd19 | 3419 | |
41bd17a4 | 3420 | This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP |
3421 | replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have | |
3422 | passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not | |
3423 | expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if | |
3424 | your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you | |

3455 | THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. | |
3456 | ||
3457 | 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used | |
3458 | for: | |
3459 | * In-Transit objects | |
3460 | * Hot Objects | |
3461 | * Negative-Cached objects | |
3462 | ||
3463 | Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This | |
3464 | parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of | |
3465 | 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest | |
3466 | priority. | |
3467 | ||
3468 | In-transit objects have priority over the others. When | |
3469 | additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached | |
3470 | and hot objects will be released. In other words, the | |
3471 | negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space | |
3472 | not needed for in-transit objects. | |
3473 | ||
3474 | If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. | |
3475 | Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than | |
3476 | 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will | |
3477 | exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load | |
3478 | decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is | |
3479 | reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot | |
3480 | objects. | |

3482 | If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared | |

3508 | ||
70f856bc AR |
3509 | The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace |
3510 | the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be | |
3511 | cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit | |
3512 | objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory | |
3513 | caching is enabled). | |
3514 | ||
65b81b27 | 3515 | By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the |
70f856bc AR |
3516 | following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with |
3517 | multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment | |
3518 | supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments | |
3519 | and GCC-style atomic operations). | |
3520 | ||
3521 | To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms | |
3522 | that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been | |
3523 | shared among SMP workers will actually be shared. | |
3524 | ||
3525 | Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared. | |

0976f8db | 3577 | |
41bd17a4 | 3578 | The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller |
3579 | popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a | |
3580 | hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since | |
3581 | it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. | |
0976f8db | 3582 | |
41bd17a4 | 3583 | The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of |
3584 | their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of | |
3585 | hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many | |
3586 | smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. | |
0976f8db | 3587 | |

3648 | see the --enable-storeio configure option. | |
0976f8db | 3649 | |
41bd17a4 | 3650 | 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap |
3651 | files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk | |
3652 | for caching, this can be the mount-point directory. | |
3653 | The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid | |
3654 | process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. | |
0976f8db | 3655 | |

3656 | In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option |
3657 | and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each | |
3658 | worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory. | |

3661 | ==== The ufs store type ==== | |
0976f8db | 3662 | |
41bd17a4 | 3663 | "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always |
3664 | been there. | |
0976f8db | 3665 | |
638402dd AJ |
3666 | Usage: |
3667 | cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
0976f8db | 3668 | |
41bd17a4 | 3669 | 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this |
3670 | directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your | |
3671 | configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here. | |
3672 | Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive, | |
3673 | subtract 20% and use that value. | |
0976f8db | 3674 | |
56fba4d0 | 3675 | 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 3676 | will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. |
0976f8db | 3677 | |
56fba4d0 | 3678 | 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which |
41bd17a4 | 3679 | will be created under each first-level directory. The default |
3680 | is 256. | |
0976f8db | 3681 | |
638402dd AJ |
3682 | |
3683 | ==== The aufs store type ==== | |
7f7db318 | 3684 | |
41bd17a4 | 3685 | "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing |
3686 | POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
3687 | disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io. | |
38f9c547 | 3688 | |
638402dd AJ |
3689 | Usage: |
3690 | cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] | |
38f9c547 | 3691 | |
41bd17a4 | 3692 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
38f9c547 | 3693 | |
638402dd AJ |
3694 | |
3695 | ==== The diskd store type ==== | |
38f9c547 | 3696 | |
41bd17a4 | 3697 | "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a |
3698 | separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on | |
3699 | disk-I/O. | |
4c3ef9b2 | 3700 | |
638402dd AJ |
3701 | Usage: |
3702 | cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n] | |
0976f8db | 3703 | |
41bd17a4 | 3704 | see argument descriptions under ufs above |
0976f8db | 3705 | |
41bd17a4 | 3706 | Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid |
3707 | stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3708 | Squid won't open new files. Default is 64 | |
0976f8db | 3709 | |
41bd17a4 | 3710 | Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid |
3711 | starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues, | |
3712 | Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72 | |
0976f8db | 3713 | |
41bd17a4 | 3714 | When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized |
3715 | for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit | |
3716 | ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for | |
3717 | higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response | |
3718 | time. | |

638402dd AJ |
3721 | ==== The rock store type ==== |
3722 | ||
3723 | Usage: | |
e51ce7da | 3724 | cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options] |
e2851fe7 | 3725 | |
2e55f083 | 3726 | The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached |
e51ce7da AR |
3727 | entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots. |
3728 | A single entry occupies one or more slots. | |
e2851fe7 | 3729 | |
3e1dfe3d AR |
3730 | If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid |
3731 | process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk | |
3732 | I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers | |
3733 | are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support | |
3734 | for the IpcIo disk I/O module. | |
3735 | ||
43ebbac3 AR |
3736 | swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or |
3737 | reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation | |
3738 | will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By | |
3739 | default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit | |
3740 | enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because | |
3741 | blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the | |
3742 | expected swap wait time. | |
3743 | ||
df881a0f | 3744 | max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using |
1e614370 | 3745 | the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that |
df881a0f | 3746 | would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are |
1e614370 DK |
3747 | delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are |
3748 | not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and | |
3749 | since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out | |
3750 | requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. | |
3751 | This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too | |
df881a0f AR |
3752 | many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes |
3753 | while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together | |
3754 | with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows | |
3755 | when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default | |
3756 | and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit | |
3757 | enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. | |
3758 | ||
e51ce7da AR |
3759 | slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for |
3760 | storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least | |
3761 | one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so | |
3762 | increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while | |
3763 | decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a | |
3764 | multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to | |
3765 | 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and | |
3766 | smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than | |
3767 | 100 bytes. | |

3773 | ||
3774 | min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir | |
3775 | will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir | |
3776 | to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while | |
3777 | other stores are optimized for smaller objects | |
73656056 | 3778 | (e.g. Rock). |

3800 | DEFAULT: least-load | |
6b698a21 | 3801 | DOC_START |
638402dd AJ |
3802 | How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response |
3803 | object will fit into more than one. | |
3804 | ||
3805 | Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size | |
3806 | and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect | |
3807 | the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered | |
3808 | cache_dir. | |
3809 | ||
3810 | Algorithms: | |
3811 | ||
3812 | least-load | |
3813 | ||
3814 | This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir | |
3815 | sizes and disk speeds. | |
3816 | ||
3817 | The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. | |
3818 | When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking | |
3819 | the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. | |
3820 | ||
3821 | When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks | |
3822 | have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more | |
3823 | capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput | |
3824 | may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. | |
3825 | ||
3826 | ||
3827 | round-robin | |
3828 | ||
3829 | This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir | |
3830 | disk sizes. | |
3831 | ||
3832 | Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable | |
3833 | cache_dir is used. | |
3834 | ||
3835 | Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation | |
3836 | to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and | |
3837 | max-size parameters. | |
3838 | ||
3839 | Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow | |
3840 | disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any | |
3841 | I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. | |
3842 | ||
29a238a3 AR |
3843 | If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other |
3844 | limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such | |
3845 | cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias | |
3846 | towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave | |
3847 | cache_dir lines from different groups. For example: | |
3848 | ||
3849 | store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin | |
3850 | cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000 | |
3851 | cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999 | |
3852 | cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000 | |
3853 | cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999 | |

4026 | tS Approximate master transaction start time in |
4027 | <full seconds since epoch>.<fractional seconds> format. | |
4028 | Currently, Squid considers the master transaction | |
4029 | started when a complete HTTP request header initiating | |
4030 | the transaction is received from the client. This is | |
4031 | the same value that Squid uses to calculate transaction | |
4032 | response time when logging %tr to access.log. Currently, | |
4033 | Squid uses millisecond resolution for %tS values, | |
4034 | similar to the default access.log "current time" field | |
4035 | (%ts.%03tu). | |

4200 | representing response time of one or more | |
4201 | adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in | |
4202 | milliseconds. When a failed transaction is | |
4203 | being retried or repeated, its time is not | |

4212 | times are recorded individually. | |
4213 | ||
4214 | You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation | |
4215 | service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific | |

4240 | Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions. |
4241 | If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every | |
4242 | matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are: | |
4243 | ||
4244 | access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...] | |
4245 | access_log none [acl acl ...] | |
4246 | ||
4247 | The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated: | |
82b7abe3 | 4248 | access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] |
fb0c2f17 NH |
4249 | |
4250 | In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character | |
4251 | and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always | |
4252 | start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions. | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4253 | |
4254 | Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which | |
41bd17a4 | 4255 | must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match |
4256 | ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses). | |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4257 | If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination. |
4258 | ||
fb0c2f17 NH |
4259 | ===== Available options for the recommended directive format ===== |
4260 | ||
4261 | logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or | |
4262 | defined by a logformat directive). Defaults | |
4263 | to 'squid'. | |
4264 | ||
4265 | buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log | |
4266 | records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not | |
4267 | keep more than the specified size and, hence, | |
4268 | should flush records before the buffer becomes | |
4269 | full to avoid overflows under normal | |
4270 | conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is | |
4271 | module-dependent though). The on-error option | |
4272 | controls overflow handling. | |
4273 | ||
4274 | on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The | |
4275 | 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log) | |
4276 | affected log records. The default 'die' action | |
4277 | kills the affected worker. The drop action | |
4278 | support has not been tested for modules other | |
4279 | than tcp. | |
4280 | ||
efc23871 AJ |
4281 | rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to |
4282 | make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default | |
4283 | is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting | |
4284 | rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation, | |
4285 | but the log files are still closed and re-opened. | |
4286 | This will enable you to rename the logfiles | |
4287 | yourself just before sending the rotate signal. | |
4288 | Only supported by the stdio module. | |
4289 | ||
82b7abe3 AJ |
4290 | ===== Modules Currently available ===== |
4291 | ||
bb7a1781 | 4292 | none Do not log any requests matching these ACL. |
82b7abe3 AJ |
4293 | Do not specify Place or logformat name. |
4294 | ||
4295 | stdio Write each log line to disk immediately at the completion of | |
4296 | each request. | |
4297 | Place: the filename and path to be written. | |
4298 | ||
4299 | daemon Very similar to stdio. But instead of writing to disk the log | |
4300 | line is passed to a daemon helper for asychronous handling instead. | |
4301 | Place: varies depending on the daemon. | |
4302 | ||
4303 | log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written. | |
4304 | ||
4305 | syslog To log each request via syslog facility. | |
4306 | Place: The syslog facility and priority level for these entries. | |
4307 | Place Format: facility.priority | |

4334 | ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per | |
4335 | transaction. | |
4336 | ||
4337 | The icap_log option format is: | |
4338 | icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]] | |
4339 | icap_log none [acl acl ...]] | |
4340 | ||
4341 | Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two | |
4342 | kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many | |
4343 | features. | |
4344 | ||
4345 | ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may | |
4346 | require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple | |
4347 | ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access | |
4348 | log line. | |
4349 | ||
4350 | ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP | |
4351 | transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header | |
4352 | embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats: | |
4353 | For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP | |
4354 | server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP | |
4355 | request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For | |
4356 | OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers. | |
4357 | ||
4358 | The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: | |
4359 | ||
4360 | icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A. | |
4361 | ||
4362 | icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service | |
4363 | option in Squid configuration file. | |
4364 | ||
4365 | icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru. | |
4366 | ||
4367 | icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or | |
4368 | OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm. | |
4369 | ||
4370 | icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload | |
4371 | only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket). | |
4372 | ||
4373 | icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP | |
4374 | payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from | |
4375 | the socket). | |
4376 | ||
bae917ac CT |
4377 | icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the |
4378 | ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually | |
4379 | includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and | |
4380 | possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The | |
4381 | HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is | |
4382 | computed. | |
4383 | ||
3ff65596 AR |
4384 | icap::tr Transaction response time (in |
4385 | milliseconds). The timer starts when | |
4386 | the ICAP transaction is created and | |
4387 | stops when the transaction is completed. | |
4388 | Similar to tr. | |
4389 | ||
4390 | icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The | |
4391 | timer starts when the first ICAP request | |
4392 | byte is scheduled for sending. The timers | |
4393 | stops when the last byte of the ICAP response | |
4394 | is received. | |
4395 | ||
4396 | icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all | |
4397 | transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION | |
4398 | transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204 | |
4399 | responses, ICAP_MOD for message | |
4400 | modification, and ICAP_SAT for request | |
4401 | satisfaction. Similar to Ss. | |
4402 | ||
4403 | icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs. | |
4404 | ||
4405 | icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h. | |
4406 | ||
4407 | icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h. | |
4408 | ||
4409 | The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit | |
4410 | definition, is called icap_squid: | |
4411 | ||
4412 | logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A - | |

41bd17a4 | 5702 | Some HTTP servers has broken implementations of PUT/POST, |
5703 | and rely on an extra CRLF pair sent by some WWW clients. | |

cccac0a2 | 5706 | |
41bd17a4 | 5707 | Note: certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations generate an |
5708 | extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly | |
5709 | forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow | |
5710 | a request with an extra CRLF. | |

5750 | Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service | |
5751 | Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it | |
5752 | is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides | |
5753 | a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH | |
5754 | requests from older IE versions to check the origin server | |
5755 | for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount | |
5756 | (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get | |
5757 | fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid | |
5758 | cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior | |
5759 | of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a | |
5760 | forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will, | |
5761 | hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be | |
5762 | handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to | |
5763 | the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but | |
5764 | worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to | |
5765 | force fresh content. | |

0976f8db | 5812 | |
41bd17a4 | 5813 | This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the |
5814 | older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much | |
3b07476b CT |
5815 | more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows |
5816 | removal of specific header fields under specific conditions. | |
5817 | ||
5818 | This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e., | |
5819 | headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer | |
5820 | or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit | |
5821 | detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP | |
5822 | terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
5823 | ||
5824 | The option is applied to individual outgoing request header | |
5825 | fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first | |
5826 | qualifying sets of request_header_access rules: | |
5827 | ||
5828 | 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name. | |
5829 | 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not | |
5830 | on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names. | |
5831 | 3. Rules with header_name 'All'. | |
5832 | ||
5833 | Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual. | |
5834 | If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to | |
5835 | go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is | |
5836 | removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify | |
5837 | if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the | |
5838 | set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is. | |
5401aa8d | 5839 | |

5974 | in ICAP terminology is post-cache REQMOD. | |
5975 | ||
5976 | Field-name is a token specifying an HTTP header name. If a | |
5977 | standard HTTP header name is used, Squid does not check whether | |
5978 | the new header conflicts with any existing headers or violates | |
5979 | HTTP rules. If the request to be modified already contains a | |
5980 | field with the same name, the old field is preserved but the | |
5981 | header field values are not merged. | |
5982 | ||
5983 | Field-value is either a token or a quoted string. If quoted | |
5984 | string format is used, then the surrounding quotes are removed | |
5985 | while escape sequences and %macros are processed. | |
5986 | ||
5987 | In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros. | |
5988 | However, unlike logging (which happens at the very end of | |
5989 | transaction lifetime), the transaction may not yet have enough | |
5990 | information to expand a macro when the new header value is needed. | |
5991 | And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet | |
5992 | committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report | |
5993 | such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash | |
5994 | ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. | |
5995 | ||
5996 | One or more Squid ACLs may be specified to restrict header | |
5997 | injection to matching requests. As always in squid.conf, all | |
5998 | ACLs in an option ACL list must be satisfied for the insertion | |

6169 | The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to | |
6170 | remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache | |
6171 | from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up | |

6173 | properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or | |
6174 | because of a poor client implementation). The default is one | |
6175 | day, 1440 minutes. | |

6178 | client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You | |
6179 | should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort. | |

6191 | Desired maximum lifetime of a persistent connection. | |
6192 | When set, Squid will close a now-idle persistent connection that | |
6193 | exceeded configured lifetime instead of moving the connection into | |
6194 | the idle connection pool (or equivalent). No effect on ongoing/active | |
6195 | transactions. Connection lifetime is the time period from the | |
6196 | connection acceptance or opening time until "now". | |
6197 | ||
6198 | This limit is useful in environments with long-lived connections | |
6199 | where Squid configuration or environmental factors change during a | |
6200 | single connection lifetime. If unrestricted, some connections may | |
6201 | last for hours and even days, ignoring those changes that should | |
6202 | have affected their behavior or their existence. | |
6203 | ||
6204 | Currently, a new lifetime value supplied via Squid reconfiguration | |
6205 | has no effect on already idle connections unless they become busy. | |

9edd9041 | 6548 | |
6549 | class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an | |
6550 | additional limit on a per user basis. This | |
6551 | only takes effect if the username is established | |
6552 | in advance - by forcing authentication in your | |
6553 | http_access rules. | |

6555 | class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see | |
6556 | external_acl's tag= reply). | |

6559 | Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size | |
6560 | and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with | |
6561 | a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used. | |

6610 | This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has | |
6611 | a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the | |
0b68481a | 6612 | description of delay_class. |
9edd9041 | 6613 | |
0b68481a | 6614 | For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: |
6e7502cc | 6615 | delay_class pool 1 |
0b68481a | 6616 | delay_parameters pool aggregate |
9edd9041 | 6617 | |
6618 | For a class 2 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6619 | delay_class pool 2 |
0b68481a | 6620 | delay_parameters pool aggregate individual |
9edd9041 | 6621 | |
6622 | For a class 3 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6623 | delay_class pool 3 |
0b68481a | 6624 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual |
9edd9041 | 6625 | |
6626 | For a class 4 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6627 | delay_class pool 4 |
0b68481a | 6628 | delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user |
9edd9041 | 6629 | |
6630 | For a class 5 delay pool: | |
6e7502cc | 6631 | delay_class pool 5 |
0b68481a | 6632 | delay_parameters pool tagrate |
9edd9041 | 6633 | |
0b68481a | 6634 | The option variables are: |
9edd9041 | 6635 | |
6636 | pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the | |
6637 | number specified in delay_pools as used in | |
6638 | delay_class lines. | |
6639 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6640 | aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket |
9edd9041 | 6641 | (class 1, 2, 3). |
6642 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6643 | individual the speed limit parameters for the individual |
9edd9041 | 6644 | buckets (class 2, 3). |
6645 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6646 | network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets |
9edd9041 | 6647 | (class 3). |
6648 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6649 | user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets |
9edd9041 | 6650 | (class 4). |
6651 | ||
fdb47ac6 | 6652 | tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets |
9edd9041 | 6653 | (class 5). |
6654 | ||
6655 | A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is | |
6656 | the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually | |
6657 | quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the | |
6658 | maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. | |
6659 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6660 | There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
6661 | ||
6662 | ||
9edd9041 | 6663 | For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the |
0b68481a | 6664 | above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec |
9edd9041 | 6665 | (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: |
6666 | ||
6e7502cc | 6667 | delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000 |
0b68481a | 6668 | |
c3e31a3a | 6669 | Note that 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. |
9edd9041 | 6670 | |
6e7502cc | 6671 | Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit. |
9edd9041 | 6672 | |
0b68481a | 6673 | |
9edd9041 | 6674 | And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above |
0b68481a AJ |
6675 | example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit) |
6676 | with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each | |
6677 | individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits | |
9edd9041 | 6678 | to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed |
6679 | (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down | |
6680 | large downloads more significantly: | |
6681 | ||
0b68481a AJ |
6682 | delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 |
6683 | ||
c3e31a3a AJ |
6684 | Note that 8 x 32K Byte/sec -> 256K bit/sec. |
6685 | 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec. | |
6686 | 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800 bit/sec. | |
9edd9041 | 6687 | |
9edd9041 | 6688 | |
6689 | Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will | |
0b68481a | 6690 | be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.: |
9edd9041 | 6691 | |
0b68481a | 6692 | delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000 |

6950 | DOC_START | |
6951 | WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two | |
6952 | types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines | |
6953 | one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from | |
6954 | 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id | |
6955 | one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done | |
6956 | using the wccp2_service_info option. | |
6957 | ||
6958 | The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option, | |
6959 | just specifying the service id will suffice. | |
6960 | ||
6961 | MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding | |
6962 | "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration. | |
6963 | ||
6964 | Examples: | |
6965 | ||
6966 | wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service | |
6967 | wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be | |
6968 | # fleshed out with subsequent options. | |

5473c134 | 7733 | |
7734 | This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which | |

7738 | ||
7739 | The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which | |
7740 | denied access. The exceptions to this rule are: | |
7741 | - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then | |
7742 | the first authentication related acl encountered | |
7743 | - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last | |
7744 | acl processed on the last http_access line. | |

7745 | - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service, |

aed9a15b AJ |
7752 | By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx |

5473c134 | 7798 | By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests |
9967aef6 | 7799 | (not cacheable request type) direct to origin servers. |
e72a0ec0 | 7800 | |
638402dd | 7801 | When this is set to "off", Squid will prefer to send these |
5473c134 | 7802 | requests to parents. |
0b0cfcf2 | 7803 | |
5473c134 | 7804 | Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only |
7805 | add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit | |
7806 | ratio. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7807 | |
638402dd AJ |
7808 | This option only sets a preference. If the parent is unavailable a |
7809 | direct connection to the origin server may still be attempted. To | |
7810 | completely prevent direct connections use never_direct. | |

7817 | DOC_START | |
5473c134 | 7818 | Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some |
7819 | reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if | |
7820 | going direct fails set this to on. | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7821 | |
5473c134 | 7822 | By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you |
7823 | can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct | |
7824 | fails. | |
7825 | ||
7826 | Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see | |
7827 | the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid | |
7828 | acts on cacheable requests. | |

7837 | RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent |
7838 | response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network. | |
7839 | If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs | |
7840 | it can prevent new cache entries being created. | |
7841 | ||
7842 | This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the | |
7843 | client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new | |
7844 | content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly | |
7845 | empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating | |
7846 | non-conditional GETs. | |
96598f93 AJ |
7847 | |
7848 | When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
7849 | to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable |
7850 | payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created. | |
96598f93 AJ |
7851 | |
7852 | When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will | |
7853 | remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from | |
2d4eefd9 AJ |
7854 | the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response |
7855 | from the server to create a new cache entry with. | |

0b0cfcf2 | 7865 | |
5473c134 | 7866 | Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should |
7867 | ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using | |
7868 | any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for | |
7869 | local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use | |
7870 | something like: | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7871 | |
5473c134 | 7872 | acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net |
7873 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
0b0cfcf2 | 7874 | |
5473c134 | 7875 | To always forward FTP requests directly, use |
f16fbc82 | 7876 | |
5473c134 | 7877 | acl FTP proto FTP |
7878 | always_direct allow FTP | |
cccac0a2 | 7879 | |
5473c134 | 7880 | NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named |
7881 | 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny | |
7882 | foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You | |
7883 | may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of | |
7884 | some other rule. Example: | |
8d6275c0 | 7885 | |
5473c134 | 7886 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net |
7887 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
7888 | always_direct deny local-external | |
7889 | always_direct allow local-servers | |
8d6275c0 | 7890 | |
5473c134 | 7891 | NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request |
7892 | directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs | |
7893 | to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration | |
7894 | can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object. | |
8d6275c0 | 7895 | |
5473c134 | 7896 | NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies |
7897 | is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache | |
b3567eb5 | 7898 | the replies see the 'cache' directive. |

7912 | never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read | |
7913 | the description for always_direct if you have not already. | |
7914 | ||
7915 | With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify | |
7916 | requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin | |
7917 | servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all | |
7918 | requests, except those in your local domain use something like: | |
7919 | ||
7920 | acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net | |
5473c134 | 7921 | never_direct deny local-servers |
7922 | never_direct allow all | |
7923 | ||
7924 | or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet | |
7925 | servers inside the firewall use something like: | |
7926 | ||
7927 | acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net | |
7928 | acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net | |

8127 | Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified | |
8128 | value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm | |
8129 | is approximate because Squid does not remember individual | |
8130 | errors but groups them instead, splitting the option | |
8131 | value into ten time slots of equal length. | |

8133 | When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no | |
8134 | effect on service failure expiration. | |

ac7a62f9 | 8167 | The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the |

8200 | 206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the | |
8201 | ICAP agents to optionally combine adapted and original HTTP message | |
8202 | content. The decision to combine is postponed until the end of the | |
8203 | ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default. | |
8204 | ||
8205 | Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each | |
8206 | ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle | |
8207 | negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but | |
8208 | some might fail. To disable Partial Content support for all ICAP | |
8209 | services and to avoid any negotiation, set this option to "off". | |

c25c2836 | 8292 | icap_service id vectoring_point uri [option ...] |
7d90757b | 8293 | |
c25c2836 CT |
8294 | id: ID |
8295 | an opaque identifier or name which is used to direct traffic to | |
8296 | this specific service. Must be unique among all adaptation | |
8297 | services in squid.conf. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8298 | |
8299 | vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache | |
f3db09e2 | 8300 | This specifies at which point of transaction processing the |
8301 | ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points | |
8302 | are not yet supported. | |
a22e6cd3 | 8303 | |
c25c2836 | 8304 | uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath |
a22e6cd3 | 8305 | ICAP server and service location. |
1b091aec CT |
8306 | icaps://servername:port/servicepath |
8307 | The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and | |
8308 | service location (default port is 1344, connections are not | |
8309 | encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP | |
8310 | services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by | |
8311 | default, on port 11344). | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8312 | |
8313 | ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD | |
8314 | transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify | |
8315 | services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You | |
8316 | can even specify multiple identical services as long as their | |
8317 | service_names differ. | |
8318 | ||
3caa16d2 AR |
8319 | To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group |
8320 | services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8321 | |
8322 | Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support | |
8323 | the following name=value options: | |
8324 | ||
8325 | bypass=on|off|1|0 | |
8326 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as | |
8327 | optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, | |
8328 | Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as | |
8329 | if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be | |
8330 | bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as | |
8331 | essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page | |
8332 | returned to the HTTP client. | |
8333 | ||
8334 | Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential. | |
8335 | ||
8336 | routing=on|off|1|0 | |
8337 | If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to | |
8338 | dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by | |
8339 | returning a chain of services to be used next. The services | |
8340 | are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header | |
8341 | value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names. | |
e2851fe7 AR |
8342 | Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other |
8343 | services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results | |
8344 | in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation. | |
8345 | ||
8346 | Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported | |
8347 | vectoring points in their natural processing order. | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8348 | |
8349 | Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services | |
8350 | response header is ignored. | |
8351 | ||
e6713f4e AJ |
8352 | ipv6=on|off |
8353 | Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems | |
8354 | is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will | |
8355 | make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service. | |
8356 | ||
2dba5b8e CT |
8357 | on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force |
8358 | If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do | |
8359 | one of the following for each new ICAP transaction: | |
8360 | * block: send an HTTP error response to the client | |
8361 | * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service | |
8362 | * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot | |
8363 | * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit | |
8364 | ||
8365 | In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service | |
8366 | connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all | |
8367 | workers may use a given service. | |
8368 | ||
8369 | The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable, | |
8370 | otherwise it is set to "wait". | |
8371 | ||
8372 | ||
8373 | max-conn=number | |
8374 | Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless | |
8375 | of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any. | |

8586 | Configures an ordered set of similar, redundant services. This is |
8587 | useful when hot standby or backup adaptation servers are available. | |
8588 | ||
8589 | adaptation_service_set set_name service_name1 service_name2 ... | |
8590 | ||
8591 | The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first | |
8592 | applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next | |
8593 | applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the | |
8594 | previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still | |
8595 | intact. | |
62c7f90e | 8596 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8597 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were |
8598 | not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
62c7f90e | 8599 | |
a22e6cd3 AR |
8600 | The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point |
8601 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
8602 | ||
8603 | If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are | |
8604 | bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a | |
8605 | transaction failure with one service may still be retried using | |
8606 | another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master | |
8607 | transaction fails as well. | |
8608 | ||
8609 | A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that | |
8610 | is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become | |
8611 | ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal. | |
8612 | Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that | |
8613 | matters. | |

8628 | ||
8629 | Configures a list of complementary services that will be applied | |
8630 | one-by-one, forming an adaptation chain or pipeline. This is useful | |
8631 | when Squid must perform different adaptations on the same message. | |
8632 | ||
8633 | adaptation_service_chain chain_name service_name1 svc_name2 ... | |
8634 | ||
8635 | The named services are used in the chain declaration order. The first | |
8636 | applicable adaptation service from the chain is used first. The next | |
8637 | applicable service is applied to the successful adaptation results of | |
8638 | the previous service in the chain. | |
8639 | ||
8640 | When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were | |
8641 | not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service. | |
8642 | ||
8643 | Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid | |
8644 | does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the | |
8645 | "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service). | |
8646 | ||
8647 | The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point | |
8648 | (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD). | |
8649 | ||
8650 | A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an | |
8651 | essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for | |
8652 | other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure | |
8653 | is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain. | |

8724 | DOC_START | |
8725 | For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response | |
8726 | sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid | |
8727 | maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value) | |
8728 | pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed | |
8729 | with the master transaction. | |
8730 | ||
8731 | This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept | |
8732 | from and forward to the adaptation transactions. | |
8733 | ||
8734 | An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the | |
8735 | shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name | |
6666da11 AR |
8736 | specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names. |
8737 | ||
8738 | An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the | |
8739 | shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API | |
8740 | to provide an option with a name specified in | |
8741 | adaptation_masterx_shared_names. | |
5038f9d8 AR |
8742 | |
8743 | Squid will store and forward the set entry to subsequent adaptation | |
3ff65596 AR |
8744 | transactions within the same master transaction scope. |
8745 | ||
8746 | Only one shared entry name is supported at this time. | |

8756 | LOC: Adaptation::Config::metaHeaders | |
8757 | DEFAULT: none | |
8758 | DOC_START | |
8759 | This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request | |
8760 | headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions. | |
8761 | Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other | |
8762 | transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service. | |
8763 | ||
8764 | The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven: | |
8765 | adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ... | |
8766 | ||
8767 | Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match. | |
8768 | Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL | |
8769 | lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For | |
8770 | example: | |
8771 | ||
8772 | # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging | |
8773 | adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging | |
8774 | ||
8775 | # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret | |
8776 | adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret | |
8777 | ||
8778 | # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group | |
8779 | adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1 | |
8780 | ||
8781 | The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double | |
8782 | quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape | |
8783 | any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes | |
8784 | and double quotes. For example, | |
8785 | "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\"" | |
d7f4a0b7 CT |
8786 | |
8787 | Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note | |
8788 | logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name | |
8789 | are used during master transaction lifetime, the header values are | |
8790 | logged in the order they were used and duplicate values are ignored | |
8791 | (only the first repeated value will be logged). | |

8884 | For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which | |
8885 | is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to | |
8886 | negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having | |
8887 | to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit | |
8888 | will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS. | |
8889 | ||
8890 | Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes | |
8891 | over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not | |
8892 | necessary. | |

8894 | WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply | |
8895 | with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some | |

8897 | EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram | |

9097 | limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free() | |
9098 | requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc | |
9099 | library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps | |
9100 | objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set | |
9101 | memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your | |
9102 | configuration will use less memory. | |

9432 | DOC_START | |
9433 | When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process | |
9434 | sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork() | |
9435 | system call. This sleep may help the situation where your | |
9436 | system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual) | |
9437 | memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child | |
9438 | processes, these sleep delays will add up and your | |
9439 | Squid will not service requests for some amount of time | |
9440 | until all the child processes have been started. | |
9441 | On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are | |
9442 | rounded to 1000. | |

9452 | On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will | |
9453 | reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for | |
9454 | proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces. | |
9455 | In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be | |
9456 | desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'. | |
9457 | Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted. | |

9489 | DOC_START | |
9490 | This option controls how Squid handles data upload requests from HTTP | |
9491 | and FTP agents that require a "Please Continue" control message response | |
9492 | to actually send the request body to Squid. It is mostly useful in | |
9493 | adaptation environments. | |
9494 | ||
9495 | When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue" | |
9496 | header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the | |
9497 | request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or | |
9498 | peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some | |
9499 | broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may | |
9500 | decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However, | |
9501 | that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not | |
9502 | responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message | |
9503 | to the request sender yet! | |
9504 | ||
9505 | An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 | |
9506 | (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the | |
9507 | request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces | |
9508 | the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells | |
9509 | Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms | |
9510 | that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior. | |
