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

61 Usage: port [options]
62 hostname:port [options]
63 1.2.3.4:port [options]
64
65 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
66 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
67 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
68 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
7f7db318 69 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
cccac0a2 70 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
71 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
72 address, so you can use the port number alone.
73
7f7db318 74 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
cccac0a2 75 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
76
77 The -a command line option will override the *first* port
78 number listed here. That option will NOT override an IP
79 address, however.
80
81 You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.

86
87 accel Accelerator mode. Also set implicit by the other
88 accelerator directives
89
90 vhost Accelerator mode using Host header for virtual
91 domain support
92
93 vport Accelerator with IP based virtual host support
94
95 vport=NN As above, but uses specified port number rather
96 than the http_port number
97
98 defaultsite= Main web site name for accelerators
99
100 protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with.
101 Defaults to http
cccac0a2 102
fc68f6b1 103 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing
104 outgoing connections using the client
105 IP address.
106
5529ca8a 107 disable-pmtu-discovery=
6845f129 108 Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
109 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
110 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
111 support is enabled.
112 always disable always PMTU discovery.
5529ca8a 113
114 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies Path-MTU
115 discovery can not work on traffic towards the clients. This is
116 the case when the intercepting device does not fully track
117 connections and fails to forward ICMP must fragment messages
118 to the cache server. If you have such setup and experience that
119 certain clients sporadically hang or never complete requests set
120 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.
121
cccac0a2 122 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
7f7db318 123 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
cccac0a2 124 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
125 visible on the internal address.

375
376 NOTE! Be very careful what you put here! Be sure you
377 understand the difference between an ICP _query_ and an ICP
378 _reply_. This option is to be set only if you want to RECEIVE
379 multicast queries. Do NOT set this option to SEND multicast
380 ICP (use cache_peer for that). ICP replies are always sent via
381 unicast, so this option does not affect whether or not you will
382 receive replies from multicast group members.
383
384 You must be very careful to NOT use a multicast address which
385 is already in use by another group of caches.
386
387 If you are unsure about multicast, please read the Multicast
388 chapter in the Squid FAQ (http://www.squid-cache.org/FAQ/).
389
390 Usage: mcast_groups 239.128.16.128 224.0.1.20

407 udp_incoming_address is used for the ICP socket receiving packets
408 from other caches.
409 udp_outgoing_address is used for ICP packets sent out to other
410 caches.
411
412 The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address.
413
f939c0ca 414 A udp_incoming_address value of 0.0.0.0 indicates Squid
415 should listen for UDP messages on all available interfaces.
cccac0a2 416
417 If udp_outgoing_address is set to 255.255.255.255 (the default)
7f7db318 418 it will use the same socket as udp_incoming_address. Only
cccac0a2 419 change this if you want to have ICP queries sent using another
420 address than where this Squid listens for ICP queries from other
421 caches.
422
423 NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not
424 have the same value since they both use port 3130.

452 proxy_port: The port number where the cache listens for proxy
453 requests.
454
455 icp_port: Used for querying neighbor caches about

b8c0c06d 493
7f7db318 494 use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
cccac0a2 495 from this cache should not be saved locally.
496
497 use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent.
498 The weight must be an integer. The default weight
499 is 1, larger weights are favored more.
500
501 use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
502 be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
503 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
504 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
7f7db318 505 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
cccac0a2 506
507 use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
508 when sending an ICP queries to this address.
509 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
510 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
511 hosts, you must configure other group members as
512 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.
513
514 use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
515 neighbor.
516
517 use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
7f7db318 518 neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
519 round trip time updated and is usually used in
cccac0a2 520 conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
521
522 use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
523 be used as a "last-resort." You should probably
524 only use 'default' in situations where you cannot
525 use ICP with your parent cache(s).
526
527 use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
528 should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
529 absence of any ICP queries.
530
7f7db318 531 use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
532 which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
533 frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
534 time. Closer parents are used more often.
cccac0a2 535 Usually used for background-ping parents.
536
537 use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
7f7db318 538 be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
cccac0a2 539 distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
540 balancing hash function based on their weigth.
541
7f7db318 542 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
cccac0a2 543 is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
544 not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
545 will be accepted from it.
546
547 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
548 replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
549 and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
550
551 use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
552 this neighbor.
553
554 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
555 RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
556
557 use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
558 from influencing the delay pools.
559
560 use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
561 proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
562 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
7f7db318 563 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
cccac0a2 564
565 use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
65fca573 566 the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
567 configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
568 the users credentials as they are to the peer.
569 This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
570 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
571 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
572 one proxy login.
7f7db318 573 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
cccac0a2 574 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
575
576 use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
577 upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
578 to be used when the peer is in another administrative
579 domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
580 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
581 information which is added to the username. This can
582 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
583 the login=username:password option above.
584
585 use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
586 specific connect timeout (also see the
587 peer_connect_timeout directive)

589 use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
590 digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
591 the specified URL rather than the Squid default
592 location.
593
594 use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
595 when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
596 useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
597 extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
598 loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
599 with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
600 requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
601 source is a peer)
602
603 use 'max-conn' to limit the amount of connections Squid
604 may open to this peer.
605
606 use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
607 to the neighbor. You probably also want to
608 set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
d3803853 609
527ee50d 610 use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
611
cccac0a2 612 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
613 a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
614
615 use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
7f7db318 616 host but different ports. This name can be used to
cccac0a2 617 differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
618 directives.
619
620 use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
621 of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
622 setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
623 name and using redirectors to feed this domainname
624 is not feasible.
625
7f7db318 626 use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
cccac0a2 627 bs SSL/TLS encrypted.

629 use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
630 SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.
631
632 use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
633 key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
7f7db318 634 specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
cccac0a2 635 combined file containing both the certificate and the key.

637 use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
638 when connecting to this peer
639 1 = automatic (default)
640 2 = SSL v2 only
641 3 = SSL v3 only
642 4 = TLS v1 only
643
644 use sslcipher=... to specify the list of valid SSL chipers
645 to use when connecting to this peer
646

648 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
649 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
650 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
651 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
652 a more complete list.

654 use cafile=... to specify a file containing additional
655 CA certificates to use when verifying the peer certificate
656
657 use capath=... to specify a directory containing additional
658 CA certificates to use when verifying the peer certificate
659
660 use sslflags=... to specify various flags modifying the
661 SSL implementation:
662 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
663 Accept certificates even if they fail to
664 verify.
7f7db318 665 NO_DEFAULT_CA
cccac0a2 666 Don't use the default CA list built in
667 to OpenSSL.
668 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
7f7db318 669 Don't verify the peer certificate
cccac0a2 670 matches the server name
671
672 use sslname= to specify the peer name as advertised
673 in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness
674 of the received peer certificate. If not specified the
675 peer hostname will be used.
676
677 use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On"
678 header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend infront
679 of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details
7f7db318 680 on this header. If set to auto the header will
cccac0a2 681 only be added if the request is forwarded as a https://
682 URL.

803DOC_START
804 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
805 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
806 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
807 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
808 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
809 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
810
811 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
812 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
813 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
814 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
815 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
816 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

881 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
882 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
883
884 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
885 for:
886 * In-Transit objects
887 * Hot Objects
888 * Negative-Cached objects
889
890 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
891 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
892 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
893 priority.
894
895 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
896 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
897 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
898 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
899 not needed for in-transit objects.
900
901 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
902 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
903 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
904 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
905 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
906 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
907 objects.

1024
1025 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
1026
1027 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
1028 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
1029 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
1030 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
1031
1032 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
1033 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
1034 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
1035 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
1036
1037 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
1038 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
1039 replacement policies.

1099 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
1100 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
1101 subtract 20% and use that value.
1102
1103 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
1104 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
1105
1106 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
1107 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
1108 is 256.
1109

1111
1112 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing

1130 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
1131 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
1132 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64

44f991b5 1136 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
cccac0a2 1137
af9ad249 1138 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
1139 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
1140 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
1141 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
1142 time.
1143
1a224843 1144 The coss store type:
1145
1146 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
1147 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
1148 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
1149 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which

cccac0a2 1750 would tell the basic authentication scheme it's program parameter.
1751
7f7db318 1752 The order authentication prompts are presented to the client_agent
5ac1a5b3 1753 is dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file.
cccac0a2 1754 IE has a bug (it's not rfc 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
1755 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure schemes
1756 are presented. For now use the order in the file below. If other browsers
5ac1a5b3 1757 have difficulties (don't recognize the schemes offered even if you are using
7f7db318 1758 basic) either put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting
cccac0a2 1759 out their program entry).
1760
1761 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be shutdown
1762 by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on the fly and
1763 activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a different helper,
1764 but not unconfigure the helper completely.
1765
1766 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
7f7db318 1767
cccac0a2 1768 "program" cmdline
1769 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a
1770 program reads a line containing "username password" and replies
0a0c70cd 1771 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
1772 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
1773 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth.
1774 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a program
1775 is specified.
cccac0a2 1776
1777 If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication,
6845f129 1778 jump over to the ../helpers/basic_auth/NCSA directory and
cccac0a2 1779 type:
1780 % make
1781 % make install
1782
1783 Then, set this line to something like
1784
6845f129 1785 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
cccac0a2 1786
1787 "children" numberofchildren
1788 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
1789 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
1790 process a backlog of usercode/password verifications, slowing
1791 it down. When password verifications are done via a (slow)
1792 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
1793 processes.
1794 auth_param basic children 5
1795
1796 "concurrency" concurrency
1797 The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
1798 The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
1799 one request at a time.
1800 auth_param basic concurrency 0
1801
1802 "realm" realmstring
1803 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
1804 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
1805 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
1806 password). There is no default.
1807 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
1808
1809 "credentialsttl" timetolive
1810 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
1811 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
1812 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
1813 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
5ac1a5b3 1814 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
cccac0a2 1815 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
1816 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
1817 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
1818 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
1819
6845f129 1820 "casesensitive" on|off
1821 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
1822 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
1823 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
1824 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
1825 auth_param basic casesensitive off
64658378 1826
cccac0a2 1827 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
1828
1829 "program" cmdline
1830 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
1831 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
63a24aeb 1832 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
4c9fa5d5 1833 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
1834 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
0a0c70cd 1835 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
1836 available as %m in the returned error page.
4c9fa5d5 1837
1838 By default, the digest authentication is not used unless a
1839 program is specified.
1840
1841 If you want to use a digest authenticator, jump over to the
6845f129 1842 helpers/digest_auth/ directory and choose the authenticator
4c9fa5d5 1843 to use. In it's directory type
6845f129 1844 % make
1845 % make install
cccac0a2 1846
1847 Then, set this line to something like

1872 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
1873 valid for.

1875 "nonce_max_count" number
1876 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
1877 used.
1878
1879 "nonce_strictness" on|off
5ac1a5b3 1880 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
cccac0a2 1881 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
1882 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
1883 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
1884
1885 "check_nonce_count" on|off
1886 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
1887 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
1888 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
1889 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
1890
1891 "post_workaround" on|off
1892 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
1893 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
5ac1a5b3 1894 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

cccac0a2 1896 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
1897
1898 "program" cmdline
5ac1a5b3 1899 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
bdf7e1b4 1900 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
1901 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
5ac1a5b3 1902 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
1903 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
cccac0a2 1904 is not used.

1919 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
1920 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
1921 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
1922 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are

1931 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
1932 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
1933 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
1934 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
1935 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl
1936 of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate authenticator_program
1937 is not used.
1938 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
26819f1e 1939 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.

2435 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
2436 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
2437 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
2438 day, 1440 minutes.
2439
2440 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
2441 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
2442 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
2443 If you seem to have many client connections tying up

2879 example, you might choose to always perform ident lookups
2880 for your main multi-user Unix boxes, but not for your Macs
2881 and PCs. By default, ident lookups are not performed for
2882 any requests.
2883

2885 can follow this example:

6845f129 2980 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
cccac0a2 2981 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
5ac1a5b3 2982 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
cccac0a2 2983 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
5ac1a5b3 2984 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
cccac0a2 2985 for this reply.
2986
7f7db318 2987 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
cccac0a2 2988 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
2989 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
2990 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
2991 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
2992 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
2993 and they will receive a partial reply.
2994
2995 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
2996 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
2997 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
2998 use this option if you have downstream caches.
2999
3000 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
3001 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
3002 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
3003 the size of your largest error page.

3258DOC_START
3259 This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one
3260 delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two
3261 delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above
3262 and here would be:
3263
3264Example:
3265 delay_pools 4 # 4 delay pools
3266 delay_class 1 2 # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
3267 delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
3268 delay_class 3 4 # pool 3 is a class 4 pool
3269 delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool
3270
3271 The delay pool classes are:
3272
3273 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3274 bucket.
3275
3276 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3277 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
3278 from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.
3279
3280 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3281 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
3282 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
3283 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
3284 32 of the IP address.
3285
3286 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
3287 additional limit on a per user basis. This
3288 only takes effect if the username is established
3289 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
3290 http_access rules.
3291
3292 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
3293 external_acl's tag= reply).
3294
3295 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
3296 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
3297 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
3298 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

3307 This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
3308
3309 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
3310 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
3311 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
3312 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
3313
3314 For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
3315 pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
3316
3317Example:
3318 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
3319 delay_access 1 deny all
3320 delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients

3330DOC_START
3331 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
3332 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
3333 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
3334
3335delay_parameters pool aggregate
3336
3337 For a class 2 delay pool:
3338
3339delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
3340
3341 For a class 3 delay pool:
3342
3343delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
3344
3345 For a class 4 delay pool:
3346
3347delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
3348
3349 For a class 5 delay pool:
3350
3351delay_parameters pool tag
3352
3353 The variables here are:
3354
3355 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
3356 number specified in delay_pools as used in
3357 delay_class lines.
3358
3359 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
3360 (class 1, 2, 3).
3361
3362 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
3363 buckets (class 2, 3).
3364
3365 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
3366 (class 3).
3367
3368 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
3369 (class 4).
3370
3371 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
3372 (class 5).
3373
3374 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
3375 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
3376 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
3377 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
3378
3379 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
3380 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
3381 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
3382
3383delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
3384
3385 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
3386
3387 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
3388 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
3389 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
3390 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
3391 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
3392 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
3393 large downloads more significantly:
3394
3395delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
3396
3397 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
3398
3399 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
3400 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
3401
3402delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

3442 Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you
87d69285 3443 type 'squid -k rotate'. The default is 10, which will rotate
3444 with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will
3445 disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed
3446 and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
cccac0a2 3447 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
3448
3449 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3450 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3451 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
3452 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get
3453 in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1
3454 <pid>'.

3560 If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
3561 limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
3562 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
3563 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
3564 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
3565 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
3566 configuration will use less memory.
3567
7e7e02e1 3568 If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
3569 will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.
cccac0a2 3570
3571 To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
3572 memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.
3573
3574 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
3575 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
3576 object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
3577 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

3859 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
3860 ALWAYS be forwarded directly to origin servers. For example,
3861 to always directly forward requests for local servers use
3862 something like:
3863
3864 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
3865 always_direct allow local-servers
3866
3867 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
3868
3869 acl FTP proto FTP
3870 always_direct allow FTP
3871
3872 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
3873 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
3874 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
3875 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
3876 some other rule. Example:
3877
3878 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
3879 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
3880 always_direct deny local-external
3881 always_direct allow local-servers

3897 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
3898 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
3899 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
3900 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
3901
3902 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
3903 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
3904 never_direct deny local-servers
3905 never_direct allow all

3907 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
f939c0ca 3908 servers inside the firewall use something like:

4350 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
4351 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
4352 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
4353 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
4354 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
4355 using the wccp2_service_info option.
4356
4357 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
4358 just specifying the service id will suffice.
4359
4360 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
4361 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

4363 Examples:
4364
4365 wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service
4366 wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be

4898DOC_START
4899 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4900 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4901 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4902 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4903 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4904 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4905 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
7f7db318 4906 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
cccac0a2 4907 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4908 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4909 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4910 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4911 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4912 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4913 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4914 force fresh content.
