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

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

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

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

99 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
100 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
101
102 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
103 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
104 across all Squid processes.

cccac0a2 271DEFAULT: none
272DOC_START
41bd17a4 273 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
274 schemes supported by Squid.
cccac0a2 275
41bd17a4 276 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
cccac0a2 277
41bd17a4 278 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
279 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
280 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
281 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
282 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
283 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
284 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
285 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
286 program entry).
cccac0a2 287
41bd17a4 288 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
289 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
290 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
291 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
cccac0a2 292
41bd17a4 293 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
294 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
295 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
296 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
297 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
298 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
299 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
300 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
301 type acl.
cccac0a2 302
41bd17a4 303 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
304 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
305 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
306 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
b3567eb5
FC
307 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
308 authentication disabled.
cccac0a2 309
41bd17a4 310 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===

330 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
331 proxy_auth.
cccac0a2 332
41bd17a4 333 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
334 program is specified.
cccac0a2 335
41bd17a4 336 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
337 this line to something like

d2a89ac1
AJ
343 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
344 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
345 username & password to the helper.
346
7353861b 347 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
48d54e4d 348 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
41bd17a4 349 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
350 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
351 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
352 authenticator processes.
48d54e4d
AJ
353
354 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
64d2327b

355 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
356 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet

357 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
358 the maximum.

360 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
361 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
362 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
363 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
364 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
4ded749e 365 same helper in parallel without waiting for the response.

41bd17a4 377 "credentialsttl" timetolive
378 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
379 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
380 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
381 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
382 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
383 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
384 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
385 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
386 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
cccac0a2 387
41bd17a4 388 "casesensitive" on|off
389 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
390 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
391 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
392 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.

cccac0a2 478
41bd17a4 479 "check_nonce_count" on|off
480 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
481 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
482 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
483 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
cccac0a2 484
41bd17a4 485 "post_workaround" on|off
486 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends

494 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
495 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
496 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl

533 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
534 using the Kerberos mechanisms.

535 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least
536 one acl of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate
5269ec0e 537 authenticator program is not used.
41bd17a4 538 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
539 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.

543 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N]
544 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
41bd17a4 545 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
546 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
4ded749e 547 down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
41bd17a4 548 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator

620 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
621 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
622 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
623 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
4ded749e 624 quickly, as is the case with dialup. You might be safe
41bd17a4 625 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
626 environment with relatively static address assignments.

723 General request syntax:
724
725 [channel-ID] FORMAT-values [acl-values ...]
726
727
728 FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with
729 whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification
730 using the FORMAT macros listed above.
731
732 acl-values consists of any string specified in the referencing
733 config 'acl ... external' line. see the "acl external" directive.
734
735 Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect
736 each value in requests against whitespaces.
737
738 If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not
739 URL escaped to protect against whitespace.
740
741 NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary.
742
743 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
744 introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response.
745 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
746 This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part
747 of the response relating to its request.
748
749
750 The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification
751 and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result
752 code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details.

833 The available options are:
834
835 -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them

837 use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line
838 without -i.

840 -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or
841 conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or
842 domain name) does not match the message address type (domain
843 name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch
844 without any warnings or lookups.

1162 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
1163 find the original source of a request.
1164
1165 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
1166 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
1167 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
1168 rightmost address being the most recent.
1169
1170 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
1171 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
1172 to see where that host received the request from. If the
2bf4e8fa
AJ
1173 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
1174 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
1175 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
1176 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
1177 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
1178 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.

1180 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will

1190 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
1191
1192 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
1193 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
1194 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
1195 source address of the request. This may enable remote
1196 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
1197 based on the client's source addresses.
1198
1199 For example:
1200
1201 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
1202 acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com
1203 follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost

5b0f5383 1516LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
1517DOC_START
1518 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1519 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1520 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1521 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1522 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1523 for this reply.
1524
1525 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1526 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1527 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1528 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1529 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1530 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1531 and they will receive a partial reply.
1532
1533 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1534 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1535 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1536 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1537
1538 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1539 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1540 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
1541 the size of your largest error page.

1567 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1568 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1569 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1570 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1571 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
c7b1dd5d 1572 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
5b0f5383 1573 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1574
1575 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1576 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1577
1578 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional

2139 This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in

2144 Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error
2145 page and logs a security warning if there is no match.
2146
2147 Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
2148 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
2149 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
2150 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
2151 and Request-URI components:
2152
2153 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
2154 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
2155 For the two host names to match, both must be either IP
2156 or FQDN.
2157
2158 * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing
2159 the scheme-default port is assumed.
2160
2161
2162 When set to OFF (the default):
2163 Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a
2164 security warning and blocks caching of the response.
2165
2166 * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
2167
2168 * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
2169
2170 * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled
32c32865 2171 according to client_dst_passthru.

2183 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
2184 to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
2185 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
2186 security policy and sandboxing protections.
2187
2188 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
2189 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
2190 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
2191 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
2192 be different from the connected IP and approved origin.

2201 With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request

2205 Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster
2206 connectivity with a range of failure recovery options.
2207 But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and
2208 server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy.
2209
2210 This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being
2211 located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server.

2351 This option is consulted when a CONNECT request is received on
2352 an http_port (or a new connection is intercepted at an
2353 https_port), provided that port was configured with an ssl-bump
2354 flag. The subsequent data on the connection is either treated as
2355 HTTPS and decrypted OR tunneled at TCP level without decryption,
2356 depending on the first bumping "mode" which ACLs match.
2357
2358 ssl_bump <mode> [!]acl ...
2359
2360 The following bumping modes are supported:
2361
2362 client-first
2363 Allow bumping of the connection. Establish a secure connection
2364 with the client first, then connect to the server. This old mode
2365 does not allow Squid to mimic server SSL certificate and does
2366 not work with intercepted SSL connections.
2367
2368 server-first
2369 Allow bumping of the connection. Establish a secure connection
2370 with the server first, then establish a secure connection with
2371 the client, using a mimicked server certificate. Works with both
2372 CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL connections.
2373
2374 none
2375 Become a TCP tunnel without decoding the connection.
2376 Works with both CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL
2377 connections. This is the default behavior when no
2378 ssl_bump option is given or no ssl_bump ACLs match.
2379
2380 By default, no connections are bumped.
2381
2382 The first matching ssl_bump option wins. If no ACLs match, the
2383 connection is not bumped. Unlike most allow/deny ACL lists, ssl_bump
2384 does not have an implicit "negate the last given option" rule. You
2385 must make that rule explicit if you convert old ssl_bump allow/deny
2386 rules that rely on such an implicit rule.

2686
2687 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2688 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2689 For web servers this is usually 80
2690
2691 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2692 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2693 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2694
2695
2696 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2697
2698 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2699 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2700
2701
2702 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2703
2704 multicast-responder
2705 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2706 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2707 replies will be accepted from it.
2708
2709 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2710 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2711
2712 background-ping
2713 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2714 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2715 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2716
2717
2718 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2719
2720 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2721 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2722
2723
2724 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2725 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
18191440
AJ
2726 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2727 list of options described below.
2b94f655 2728

2744
2745
2746 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2747
2748 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2749 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2750
2751
2752 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2753 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2754 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2755
2756 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2757 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2758 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2759
2760 weighted-round-robin
2761 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2762 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2763 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2764 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2765 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2766
2767 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2768 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2769 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2770
2771 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2772
2773 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
8a368316
AJ
2774
2775 multicast-siblings
2776 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2777 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2e9993e1 2778 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
8a368316
AJ
2779 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2780 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2781 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2782 members of the same multicast group.

2784
2785 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2786
2787 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2788 peer-selection mechanisms.
2789 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2790 larger weights are favored more.
2791 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2792 protocol is not in use.
2793
2794 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2795 times of parents.
2796 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2797 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2798 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2799
3c72389f
AJ
2800 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2801 to this address.
2b94f655
AJ
2802 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2803 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2804 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2805 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2806
2807 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the

2828
2829 forceddomain=name
2830 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2831 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2832 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2833 others. ie example.com or www.example.com

2870 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2871 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2872 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2873
2874 login=*:password
2875 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2876 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2877 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2878 needed to identify each user.
2879 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2880 information which is added to the username. This can
2881 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2882 the login=username:password option above.

3101LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
3102DOC_START
3103 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
3104 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
3105 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
3106 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
3107 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
3108 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
699acd19 3109
41bd17a4 3110 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
3111 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
3112 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
3113 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
3114 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you

3159 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
3160 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
3161 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
3162
3163 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
3164 for:
3165 * In-Transit objects
3166 * Hot Objects
3167 * Negative-Cached objects
3168
3169 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
3170 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
3171 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
3172 priority.
3173
3174 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
3175 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
3176 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
3177 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
3178 not needed for in-transit objects.
3179
3180 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
3181 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
3182 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
3183 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
3184 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
3185 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
3186 objects.

3215 The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
3216 the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
3217 cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
3218 objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory
3219 caching is enabled).
3220
65b81b27 3221 By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the

AR
3222 following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
3223 multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
3224 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
3225 and GCC-style atomic operations).
3226
3227 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
3228 that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
3229 shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.
3230
3231 Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared.

41bd17a4 3284 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller

3287 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
0976f8db 3288
41bd17a4 3289 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
3290 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
3291 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
3292 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
0976f8db 3293
41bd17a4 3294 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents

41bd17a4 3316 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
3317 cache among different disk partitions.
0976f8db 3318
41bd17a4 3319 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
3320 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
3321 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
0976f8db 3322
41bd17a4 3323 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
3324 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
3325 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
3326 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
3327 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.

3334 ==== The ufs store type ====
0976f8db 3335
41bd17a4 3336 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
3337 been there.
0976f8db 3338
638402dd
AJ
3339 Usage:
3340 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
0976f8db 3341
41bd17a4 3342 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
3343 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
3344 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
3345 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
3346 subtract 20% and use that value.
0976f8db 3347
56fba4d0 3348 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 3349 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
0976f8db 3350
56fba4d0 3351 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
41bd17a4 3352 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
3353 is 256.

AJ
3355
3356 ==== The aufs store type ====
7f7db318 3357
41bd17a4 3358 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
3359 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3360 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
38f9c547 3361

3367
3368 ==== The diskd store type ====
38f9c547 3369
41bd17a4 3370 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
3371 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3372 disk-I/O.

41bd17a4 3377 see argument descriptions under ufs above
0976f8db 3378
41bd17a4 3379 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
3380 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
3381 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
0976f8db 3382
41bd17a4 3383 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
3384 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
3385 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
0976f8db 3386
41bd17a4 3387 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
3388 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
3389 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
3390 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
3391 time.

3395
3396 Usage:
df881a0f 3397 cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes <max-size=bytes> [options]
e2851fe7 3398
2e55f083 3399 The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached
e2851fe7
AR
3400 entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots,
3401 one entry per slot. The database size is specified in MB. The
3402 slot size is specified in bytes using the max-size option. See
3403 below for more info on the max-size option.
3404
3e1dfe3d
AR
3405 If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
3406 process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
3407 I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers
3408 are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
3409 for the IpcIo disk I/O module.
3410
43ebbac3
AR
3411 swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
3412 reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
3413 will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
3414 default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
3415 enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
3416 blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
3417 expected swap wait time.
3418
df881a0f 3419 max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
1e614370 3420 the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
df881a0f 3421 would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
1e614370
DK
3422 delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
3423 not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
3424 since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
3425 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
3426 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
df881a0f
AR
3427 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
3428 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
3429 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
3430 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
3431 and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
3432 enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.

3437 NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
3438 production use and has thus been removed from this release.
3439 We hope that it can be made usable again soon.
3440
41bd17a4 3441 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
3442 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
3443 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
3444 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
3445 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
3446 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
3447 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
0976f8db 3448
41bd17a4 3449 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
3450 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
3451 this will be created by squid -z.

3456 no-store no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir.
3457
3458 min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir
3459 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir
3460 to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while
3461 other stores are optimized for smaller objects
3462 (e.g. COSS).
3463 Defaults to 0.
3464
3465 max-size=n the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir
3466 supports.
3467 The value in maximum_object_size directive, sets
3468 a default unless more specific details are available
3469 about the cache_dir (ie a small store capacity).
b6662ffd 3470
41bd17a4 3471 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
638402dd 3472 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first.
0976f8db 3473
41bd17a4 3474 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
3475 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
3476 option.

3490 How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response
3491 object will fit into more than one.
3492
3493 Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size
3494 and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect
3495 the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered
3496 cache_dir.
3497
3498 Algorithms:
3499
3500 least-load
3501
3502 This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir
3503 sizes and disk speeds.
3504
3505 The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
3506 When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
3507 the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
3508
3509 When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
3510 have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
3511 capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
3512 may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
3513
3514
3515 round-robin
3516
3517 This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
3518 disk sizes.
3519
3520 Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
3521 cache_dir is used.
3522
3523 Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
3524 to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
3525 max-size parameters.
3526
3527 Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
3528 disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
3529 I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.

3777 more information about these modes.
3778
3779 A "none" token is logged for requests that
3780 triggered "ssl_bump" ACL evaluation matching
3781 either a "none" rule or no rules at all.
3782
3783 In all other cases, a single dash ("-") is

3805 value is recorded as an integer number,
3806 representing response time of one or more
3807 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
3808 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
3809 being retried or repeated, its time is not
3810 logged individually but added to the
3811 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
3812 adapt::all_trs.
3813
3814 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
3815 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of

3817 together. Instead, all transaction response
3818 times are recorded individually.
3819
3820 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation

3861 If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every
3862 matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are:
3863
3864 access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
3865 access_log none [acl acl ...]

3870 In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character

3879 ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
3880
3881 logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or
3882 defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
3883 to 'squid'.
3884
3885 buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log
3886 records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not
3887 keep more than the specified size and, hence,
3888 should flush records before the buffer becomes
3889 full to avoid overflows under normal
3890 conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
3891 module-dependent though). The on-error option
3892 controls overflow handling.
3893
3894 on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
3895 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
3896 affected log records. The default 'die' action
3897 kills the affected worker. The drop action
3898 support has not been tested for modules other

3945 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3946 transaction.
3947
3948 The icap_log option format is:
3949 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3950 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3951
3952 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3953 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3954 features.
3955
3956 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3957 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3958 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3959 log line.
3960
3961 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3962 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3963 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3964 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3965 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3966 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3967 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3968
3969 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3970
3971 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3972
3973 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3974 option in Squid configuration file.
3975
3976 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3977
3978 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3979 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3980
3981 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3982 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3983
3984 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3985 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3986 the socket).
3987
bae917ac
CT
3988 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3989 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3990 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3991 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3992 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3993 computed.
3994
3ff65596
AR
3995 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3996 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3997 the ICAP transaction is created and
3998 stops when the transaction is completed.
3999 Similar to tr.
4000
4001 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
4002 timer starts when the first ICAP request
4003 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
4004 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
4005 is received.
4006
4007 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
4008 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
4009 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
4010 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
4011 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
4012 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
4013
4014 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
4015
4016 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
4017
4018 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
4019
4020 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
4021 definition, is called icap_squid:

4717 The maximum number of StoreID helper processes to spawn. If you limit
4718 it too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of
4719 requests, slowing it down. If you allow too many they will use RAM
4720 and other system resources noticably.

4728 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
4729 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.

4731 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
4732 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.

4736 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
4737 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing

4739 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.

4747 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
4748 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
4749 an ID in front of the request/response. The ID from the request

5199 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
5200 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
5201
5202 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
5203 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
5204 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
5205 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
5206 as if dechunking was disabled.
5207
5208 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
5209 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
5210
5211 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
5212 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
5213 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

5273DOC_START
5274 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
5275 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
5276 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
5277 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
5278 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
5279 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
5280 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
5281 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
5282 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
5283 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
5284 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
5285 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
5286 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
5287 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
5288 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
5289 force fresh content.

41bd17a4 5337 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
5338 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
3b07476b
CT
5339 more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
5340 removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
5341
5342 This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
5343 headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
5344 or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
5345 detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
5346 terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
5347
5348 The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
5349 fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
5350 qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
5351
5352 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
5353 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
5354 on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
5355 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
5356
5357 Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
5358 If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
5359 go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
5360 removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
5361 if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
5362 set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.

5499
5500 Field-name is a token specifying an HTTP header name. If a
5501 standard HTTP header name is used, Squid does not check whether
5502 the new header conflicts with any existing headers or violates
5503 HTTP rules. If the request to be modified already contains a
5504 field with the same name, the old field is preserved but the
5505 header field values are not merged.
5506
5507 Field-value is either a token or a quoted string. If quoted
5508 string format is used, then the surrounding quotes are removed
5509 while escape sequences and %macros are processed.
5510
5511 In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros.
5512 However, unlike logging (which happens at the very end of
5513 transaction lifetime), the transaction may not yet have enough
5514 information to expand a macro when the new header value is needed.
5515 And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet
5516 committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report
5517 such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash
5518 ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested.
5519
5520 One or more Squid ACLs may be specified to restrict header
5521 injection to matching requests. As always in squid.conf, all
5522 ACLs in an option ACL list must be satisfied for the insertion
5523 to happen. The request_header_add option supports fast ACLs

41bd17a4 5673 Some clients may shutdown the sending side of their TCP
5674 connections, while leaving their receiving sides open. Sometimes,
5675 Squid can not tell the difference between a half-closed and a
0c2f5c4f

5676 fully-closed TCP connection.
5677
5678 By default, Squid will immediately close client connections when

6007 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an

6009 only takes effect if the username is established
6010 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
6011 http_access rules.

6135 individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
9edd9041 6136 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed

6165 in each bucket when squid starts, is reconfigured, or first notices
6166 a host accessing it (in class 2 and class 3, individual hosts and
6167 networks only have buckets associated with them once they have been

6409 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two

6413 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
6414 using the wccp2_service_info option.

7192 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
7193 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
7194 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
7195 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
7196
7197 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
7198 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
7199 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
7200 the first authentication related acl encountered
7201 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
7202 acl processed on the last http_access line.

5473c134 7298 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
7299 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
7300 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
7301 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
7302 something like:
0b0cfcf2 7303
5473c134 7304 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
7305 always_direct allow local-servers
0b0cfcf2 7306

5473c134 7309 acl FTP proto FTP
7310 always_direct allow FTP
cccac0a2 7311
5473c134 7312 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
7313 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
7314 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
7315 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
7316 some other rule. Example:
8d6275c0 7317
5473c134 7318 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
7319 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
7320 always_direct deny local-external
7321 always_direct allow local-servers
8d6275c0 7322
5473c134 7323 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
7324 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
7325 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
7326 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
8d6275c0 7327
5473c134 7328 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
7329 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache

7346
7347 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
7348 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
7349 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
7350 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
7351
7352 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
5473c134 7353 never_direct deny local-servers
7354 never_direct allow all
7355
7356 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
7357 servers inside the firewall use something like:
7358
7359 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
7360 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net

7632 206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the
7633 ICAP agents to optionally combine adapted and original HTTP message
7634 content. The decision to combine is postponed until the end of the
7635 ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default.
7636
7637 Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each
7638 ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle
7639 negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but
7640 some might fail. To disable Partial Content support for all ICAP
7641 services and to avoid any negotiation, set this option to "off".

7737 ICAP server and service location.
7738
7739 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
7740 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
7741 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
7742 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
7743 service_names differ.
7744

7745 To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group
7746 services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set.
a22e6cd3

7747
7748 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
7749 the following name=value options:
7750
7751 bypass=on|off|1|0
7752 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
7753 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
7754 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
7755 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
7756 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
7757 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
7758 returned to the HTTP client.
7759
7760 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
7761
7762 routing=on|off|1|0
7763 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
7764 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
7765 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
7766 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
7767 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
e2851fe7
AR
7768 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
7769 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
7770 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.

7772 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
7773 vectoring points in their natural processing order.

7783 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
7784 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
7785 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
7786 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
7787 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
7788 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
7789 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
7790
7791 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
7792 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
7793 workers may use a given service.
7794
7795 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
7796 otherwise it is set to "wait".
7797

8111 This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request
8112 headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions.
8113 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
8114 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
8115
8116 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
8117 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
8118
8119 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
8120 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
8121 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
8122 example:
8123
8124 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
8125 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
8126
8127 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret
8128 adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret
8129
8130 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
8131 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
8132
8133 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
8134 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
8135 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes
8136 and double quotes. For example,
8137 "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\""

8138
8139 Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note
8140 logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name
8141 are used during master transaction lifetime, the header values are
8142 logged in the order they were used and duplicate values are ignored
8143 (only the first repeated value will be logged).

8280 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
8281 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
8282 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
8283 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
8284 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
8285
8286 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
8287 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
8288 necessary.
8289
8290 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
8291 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
8292 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
8293 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
8294 sizes being advertised by Squid.
8295 Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain
8296 even if it would be resolvable without EDNS.
