cccac0a2 31 ----------------------------
3a278cb8 32
cccac0a2 33 This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
34 to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
35 for the FAQ and other documentation.
3a278cb8 36
cccac0a2 37 The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
38 various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the
39 default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause
40 run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default
41 setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
42 option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
43 case.

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

62 Conditional configuration
63
64 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
65 depend on conditions:
66
67 if <CONDITION>
68 ... regular configuration directives ...
69 [else
70 ... regular configuration directives ...]
71 endif
72
73 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
74 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
75 configuration directives.
76
77 These individual conditions types are supported:
78
79 true
80 Always evaluates to true.
81 false
82 Always evaluates to false.
83 <integer> = <integer>
84 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

87 SMP-Related Macros
88
89 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
90
91 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
92 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
93
94 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
95 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
96 across all Squid processes.

cccac0a2 177DEFAULT: none
178DOC_START
41bd17a4 179 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
180 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 181
41bd17a4 182 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 183
41bd17a4 184 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
185 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
186 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
187 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
188 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
189 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
190 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
191 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
192 program entry).
cccac0a2 193
41bd17a4 194 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
195 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
196 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
197 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 198
41bd17a4 199 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
200 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
201 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
202 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
203 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
204 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
205 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
206 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
207 type acl.
cccac0a2 208
41bd17a4 209 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
210 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
211 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
212 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
213 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
214 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 215
41bd17a4 216 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
cccac0a2 217
41bd17a4 218 "program" cmdline
219 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
220 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
221 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
222 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
b3567eb5
FC
223 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
224 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 225
41bd17a4 226 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
227 program is specified.
cccac0a2 228
41bd17a4 229 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
230 this line to something like
307b83b7 231
41bd17a4 232 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
9e7dbc51 233
d2a89ac1
AJ
234 "utf8" on|off
235 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
236 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
237 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
238 username & password to the helper.
239
7353861b 240 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 241 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 242 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
243 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
244 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
245 authenticator processes.

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

7353861b

253 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
254 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
255 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
256 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
257 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
258 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
41bd17a4 259 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

266 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
267 password). There is no default.
268 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
d1b63fc8 269
41bd17a4 270 "credentialsttl" timetolive
271 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
272 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
273 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
274 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
275 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
276 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
277 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
278 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
279 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 280
41bd17a4 281 "casesensitive" on|off
282 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
283 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
284 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
285 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.

cccac0a2 289
41bd17a4 290 "program" cmdline
291 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
292 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
293 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
294 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
295 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
296 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
297 available as %m in the returned error page.

41bd17a4 347 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
348 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
349 valid for.
cccac0a2 350
41bd17a4 351 "nonce_max_count" number
352 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
353 used.
cccac0a2 354
41bd17a4 355 "nonce_strictness" on|off
356 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
357 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
358 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
359 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
cccac0a2 360
41bd17a4 361 "check_nonce_count" on|off
362 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
363 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
364 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
365 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 366
41bd17a4 367 "post_workaround" on|off
368 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
369 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
370 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

501DOC_START
502 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
503 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
504 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
505 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
506 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
507 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
508 environment with relatively static address assignments.

cccac0a2 598
41bd17a4 599 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
600 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
601 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with
602 more details.

612 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
613 in error pages
614 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
615 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
616 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
617 %ea in logformat specifications
934b03fc 618
41bd17a4 619 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
620 each value in both requests and responses.
6a566b9c 621
41bd17a4 622 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
623 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
624 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
1e5562e3 625
41bd17a4 626 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
627 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
628 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

902 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
903 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
904 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
905 rightmost address being the most recent.
906
907 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
908 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
909 to see where that host received the request from. If the
2bf4e8fa
AJ
910 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
911 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
912 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
913 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
914 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
915 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.

927 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
928
929 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
930 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
931 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
932 source address of the request. This may enable remote
933 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
934 based on the client's source addresses.
935
936 For example:
937
938 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
939 acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com
940 follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost

1219 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1220 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1221 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1222 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1223 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1224 for this reply.
1225
1226 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1227 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1228 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1229 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1230 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1231 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1232 and they will receive a partial reply.
1233
1234 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1235 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1236 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1237 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1238
1239 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1240 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1241 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus

1269 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1270 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1271 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1272 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1273 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1274 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1275

1277 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.

2048 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
2049
2050 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2051
2052 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2053 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2054 For web servers this is usually 80
2055
2056 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2057 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2058 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2059
2060
2061 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2062
2063 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2064 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2065
2066
2067 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2068
2069 multicast-responder
2070 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2071 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2072 replies will be accepted from it.
2073
2074 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2075 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2076
2077 background-ping
2078 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2079 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2080 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2081
2082
2083 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2084
2085 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2086 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2087
2088
2089 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2090 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2091 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2092 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2093
18191440 2094 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2b94f655 2095
18191440 2096 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2b94f655 2097 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
18191440 2098 only-clr.
2b94f655 2099
18191440
AJ
2100 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2101 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2b94f655 2102
18191440 2103 htcp=no-purge-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2104 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2105 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2106
18191440 2107 htcp=forward-clr
2b94f655
AJ
2108 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2109
2110
2111 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2112
2113 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2114 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2115
2116
2117 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2118 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2119 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2120
2121 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2122 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2123 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2124
2125 weighted-round-robin
2126 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2127 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2128 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2129 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2130 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2131
2132 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2133 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2134 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2135
2136 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2137
2138 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2139
2140 multicast-siblings
2141 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2142 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2143 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a mulicast
2144 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2145 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2146 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2147 members of the same multicast group.
2b94f655
AJ
2148
2149
2150 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2151
2152 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2153 peer-selection mechanisms.
2154 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2155 larger weights are favored more.
2156 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2157 protocol is not in use.
2158
2159 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2160 times of parents.
2161 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2162 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2163 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2164
3c72389f
AJ
2165 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2166 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2167 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2168 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2169 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2170 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2171
2172 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2173 delay pools.
2174
2175 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2176 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2177 than the Squid default location.
2178
2179
2180 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2181
2182 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2183 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2184 is a web server.
2185
2186 forceddomain=name
2187 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2188 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2189 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2190 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2191
2192 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2193
2194 no-netdb-exchange
2195 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2196
2197
2198 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2199
2200 login=user:password
2201 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2202 requires proxy authentication.
2203
2204 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2205 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2206
11e4c5e5
AJ
2207 login=PASSTHRU
2208 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2209 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2210 without alteration to the peer.
2211 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2212
2213 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2214 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2215 connection-auth options are also used.
ee0b94f4 2216
2b94f655
AJ
2217 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2218 Authentication is not required by this option.
11e4c5e5 2219
2b94f655
AJ
2220 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2221 to pass on, but username and password are available
ee0b94f4
HN
2222 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2223 they may be sent instead.
2b94f655
AJ
2224
2225 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2226 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2227 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2228 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2229 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2230
2231 login=*:password
2232 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2233 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2234 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2235 needed to identify each user.
2236 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2237 information which is added to the username. This can
2238 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2239 the login=username:password option above.
2240
9ca29d23
AJ
2241 login=NEGOTIATE
2242 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2243 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2244 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2245 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2246
2247 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2248 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2249 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2250 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2251 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2252 used.
2253
2b94f655
AJ
2254 connection-auth=on|off
2255 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2256 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2257 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2258 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2259 of the peer.
2260
2261
2262 ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ====
2263
2264 ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS.
2265
2266 sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate
2267 A client SSL certificate to use when connecting to
2268 this peer.
2269
2270 sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
2271 The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
2272 If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
2273 reference a combined file containing both the
2274 certificate and the key.
2275
2276 sslversion=1|2|3|4
2277 The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
2278 1 = automatic (default)
2279 2 = SSL v2 only
2280 3 = SSL v3 only
2281 4 = TLS v1 only
2282
2283 sslcipher=... The list of valid SSL ciphers to use when connecting
2284 to this peer.
2285
2286 ssloptions=... Specify various SSL engine options:
2287 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
2288 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
2289 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
2290 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
2291 a more complete list.
2292
2293 sslcafile=... A file containing additional CA certificates to use
2294 when verifying the peer certificate.
2295
2296 sslcapath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
2297 use when verifying the peer certificate.
2298
2299 sslcrlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when
2300 verifying the peer certificate.
2301
2302 sslflags=... Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation:
2303
41bd17a4 2304 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
2305 Accept certificates even if they fail to
2306 verify.
2307 NO_DEFAULT_CA
2308 Don't use the default CA list built in
2309 to OpenSSL.
2310 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
2311 Don't verify the peer certificate
2312 matches the server name
2b94f655
AJ
2313
2314 ssldomain= The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
2315 Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
2316 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2317 used.
2318
2319 front-end-https
2320 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2321 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2322 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2323 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2324 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2325
2326
2327 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2328
2329 connect-timeout=N
2330 A peer-specific connect timeout.
2331 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2332
2333 connect-fail-limit=N
2334 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2335 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2336
2337 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2338 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2339 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2340 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2341 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2342 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2343 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2344
2345 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2346 peer. see also
2347
2348 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2349 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2350 but different ports.
2351 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2352 directives to dentify the peer.
2353 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2354 peername ACL type.
2355

2435DOC_START
2436 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2437 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2438 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2439 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2440 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2441 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 2442
41bd17a4 2443 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2444 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2445 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2446 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2447 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2448 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2449 instead of to your parents.

41bd17a4 2492 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2493 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2494 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2495 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2496
2497 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2498 for:
2499 * In-Transit objects
2500 * Hot Objects
2501 * Negative-Cached objects
2502
2503 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2504 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2505 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2506 priority.
2507
2508 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2509 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2510 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2511 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2512 not needed for in-transit objects.
2513
2514 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2515 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2516 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2517 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2518 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2519 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2520 objects.

41bd17a4 2582 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
0976f8db 2583
41bd17a4 2584 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2585 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2586 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2587 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 2588
41bd17a4 2589 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2590 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2591 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2592 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 2593
41bd17a4 2594 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2595 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2596 replacement policies.
7d90757b 2597
41bd17a4 2598 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2599 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2600 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

41bd17a4 2623 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2624 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2625 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.

2629 In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option

41bd17a4 2633 The ufs store type:
0976f8db 2634
41bd17a4 2635 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always

2641 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
2642 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2643 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2644 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 2645
56fba4d0 2646 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 2647 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
0976f8db 2648
56fba4d0 2649 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 2650 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
2651 is 256.
0976f8db 2652
41bd17a4 2653 The aufs store type:
7f7db318 2654
41bd17a4 2655 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

41bd17a4 2673 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2674 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2675 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 2676
41bd17a4 2677 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2678 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2679 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 2680
41bd17a4 2681 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2682 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2683 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
2684 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
2685 time.

2692
41bd17a4 2693 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2694 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2695 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2696 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2697 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2698 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2699 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 2700
41bd17a4 2701 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2702 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2703 this will be created by squid -z.

2709 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir

2714 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir

2718 ones with no max-size specification last.
0976f8db 2719
41bd17a4 2720 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

2928
2929 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP

2931 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
2932 transaction is in progress.

3ff65596 2935
5038f9d8
AR
2936 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
2937 meta-information from the last eCAP
2938 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
2939 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
2940 argument.
3ff65596
AR
2941
2942 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
2943 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
2944 the order of transaction start time. Each time
2945 value is recorded as an integer number,
2946 representing response time of one or more
2947 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
2948 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
2949 being retried or repeated, its time is not
2950 logged individually but added to the
2951 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
2952 adapt::all_trs.
2953
2954 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
2955 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
2956 individual transactions are never added
2957 together. Instead, all transaction response
2958 times are recorded individually.
2959
2960 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
2961 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
2962 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

3038 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3039 transaction.
3040
3041 The icap_log option format is:
3042 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3043 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3044
3045 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3046 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3047 features.
3048
3049 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3050 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3051 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3052 log line.
3053
3054 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3055 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3056 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3057 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3058 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3059 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3060 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3061
3062 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3063
3064 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3065
3066 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3067 option in Squid configuration file.
3068
3069 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3070
3071 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3072 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3073
3074 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3075 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3076
3077 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3078 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3079 the socket).
3080
bae917ac
CT
3081 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3082 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3083 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3084 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3085 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3086 computed.
3087
3ff65596
AR
3088 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3089 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3090 the ICAP transaction is created and
3091 stops when the transaction is completed.
3092 Similar to tr.
3093
3094 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3095 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3096 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3097 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3098 is received.
3099
3100 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3101 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3102 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3103 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3104 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3105 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.

3189 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3190 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
3191 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
5473c134 3192
41bd17a4 3193 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a

41bd17a4 3226 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3227 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3228 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other

3872 The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests
3873 which are almost completed (less than 16 KB remaining). This
3874 may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links and/or very busy

3876 bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
3877 downloads.

4092DOC_START
4093 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4094 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4095 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4096 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4097 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4098 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4099
4100 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4101 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4102 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4103 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4104 as if dechunking was disabled.
4105
4106 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4107 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4108
4109 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4110 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4111 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4171 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4172 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4173 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4174 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4175 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4176 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4177 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4178 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4179 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4180 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4181 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4182 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4183 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4184 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4185 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4186 force fresh content.

4514 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
4515 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
4516 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
4517 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
4518 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
4519 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one

4523 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
4524 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.

4847 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4848 bucket.
4849
4850 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4851 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
b1fb3348 4852 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4853
4854 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
4855 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
4856 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
4857 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
b1fb3348 4858 32 of the IPv4 address.
9edd9041 4859
4860 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
4861 additional limit on a per user basis. This
4862 only takes effect if the username is established
4863 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
4864 http_access rules.
4865
4866 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
4867 external_acl's tag= reply).

4870 Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
4871 and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
4872 a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
4873
9edd9041 4874 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
4875 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
4876 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
4877 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

4894 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).

5355 Some servers have been found to incorrectly signal the use
5356 of HTTP/1.0 persistent connections even on replies not
5357 compatible, causing significant delays. This server problem
5358 has mostly been seen on redirects.

5360 By enabling this directive Squid attempts to detect such
5361 broken replies and automatically assume the reply is finished

5826 address. This value specifies how long Squid should wait to
5827 count all the replies. The default is 2000 msec, or 2
5828 seconds.

5978 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which

5980 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
5981 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
5982
5983 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
5984 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
5985 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
5986 the first authentication related acl encountered
5987 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
5988 acl processed on the last http_access line.

0b0cfcf2 6081
5473c134 6082 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6083 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6084 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6085 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6086 something like:
0b0cfcf2 6087
5473c134 6088 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6089 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 6090

f16fbc82 6092
5473c134 6093 acl FTP proto FTP
6094 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 6095
5473c134 6096 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6097 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6098 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6099 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6100 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 6101
5473c134 6102 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6103 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6104 always_direct deny local-external
6105 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 6106
5473c134 6107 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6108 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6109 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6110 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 6111
5473c134 6112 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6113 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache

6129
6130 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6131 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6132 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6133 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6134
6135 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
5473c134 6136 never_direct deny local-servers
6137 never_direct allow all
6138
6139 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6140 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6141
6142 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6143 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

ac7a62f9 6361 The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the
6362 HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body
6363 or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments,
6364 previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.
6365
6366 During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what
6367 HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.
6368 Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one.

6397 ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default.

6495
6496 service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
6497 ICAP server and service location.
6498
6499 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
6500 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
6501 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
6502 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
6503 service_names differ.
6504
6505
6506 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
6507 the following name=value options:
6508
6509 bypass=on|off|1|0
6510 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
6511 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
6512 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
6513 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
6514 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
6515 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
6516 returned to the HTTP client.
6517
6518 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
6519
6520 routing=on|off|1|0
6521 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
6522 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
6523 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
6524 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
6525 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
6526 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
6527 should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
6528 ICAP transaction. Services violating these rules are ignored.
6529 An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
6530 ends the current adaptation.
6531
6532 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
6533 response header is ignored.
6534
e6713f4e
AJ
6535 ipv6=on|off
6536 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
6537 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
6538 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.

6540 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
6541 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
6542 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
6543 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
6544 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
6545 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
6546 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
6547
6548 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
6549 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
6550 workers may use a given service.
6551
6552 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
6553 otherwise it is set to "wait".
6554
6555
6556 max-conn=number
6557 Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless
6558 of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any.

6685 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that

6960
6961 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
6962 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
6963 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
6964 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
6965 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
6966
6967 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
6968 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
6969 necessary.
6970
6971 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
6972 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
6973 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
6974 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
6975 sizes being advertised by Squid.
6976 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
6977 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.

5473c134 7351 strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
7352 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
7353 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
7354 Request" message.
7355 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
7356 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
7357 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
7358 are in use.
7359 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
7360 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
7361 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
7362 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
7363 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
7364 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
7365 violation.
