10 ----------------------------
11
12 This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
13 This documentation can also be found online at:
14 http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
15
16 You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
17 FAQ and other documentation:
18 http://www.squid-cache.org/
19 https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
20 https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
21
22 This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
23 happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should
24 leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
25
26 In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
27 while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
28 - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.
29
30COMMENT_END
31
32COMMENT_START
33 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
34 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
35 supported.
36
37 For example,
38
39 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
40
41 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
42 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
43 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
44 configuration files.
45
46 Values with byte units
47
48 Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All
49 such directives are documented with a default value displaying
50 a unit.
51
52 Units accepted by Squid are:
53 bytes - byte
54 KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
55 MB - Megabyte
56 GB - Gigabyte
57
58 Values with time units
59
60 Time-related directives marked with either "time-units" or
61 "time-units-small" accept a time unit. The supported time units are:
62
63 nanosecond (time-units-small only)
64 microsecond (time-units-small only)
65 millisecond
66 second
67 minute
68 hour
69 day
70 week
71 fortnight
72 month - 30 days
73 year - 31557790080 milliseconds (just over 365 days)
74 decade
75
76 Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters
77
78 Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other
79 special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use
80 the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or
81 disable that support.
82
83 Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external
84 files using the syntax:
85 parameters("/path/filename")
86 For example:
87 acl allowlist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/allowlist.txt")
88
89 Conditional configuration
90
91 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
92 depend on conditions:
93
94 if <CONDITION>
95 ... regular configuration directives ...
96 [else
97 ... regular configuration directives ...]
98 endif
99
100 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
101 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
102 configuration directives.
103
104 NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
105
106 These individual conditions types are supported:
107
108 true
109 Always evaluates to true.
110 false
111 Always evaluates to false.
112 <integer> = <integer>
113 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.
114
115
116 SMP-Related Macros
117
118 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
119
120 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
121 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
122
123 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
124 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
125 across all Squid processes of the current service instance.
126
127 ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance
128 name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line.
129
130 Logformat Macros
131
132 Logformat macros can be used in many places outside of the logformat
133 directive. In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros,
134 where they are supported. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) when
135 the transaction does not yet have enough information and a value is needed.
136
137 There is no definitive list of what tokens are available at the various
138 stages of the transaction.
139
140 And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet
141 committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report
142 such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash
143 ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested.

511DOC_START
512 Whether to ensure that all required shared memory is available by
513 "locking" that shared memory into RAM when Squid starts. The
514 alternative is faster startup time followed by slightly slower
515 performance and, if not enough RAM is actually available during
516 runtime, mysterious crashes.
517
518 SMP Squid uses many shared memory segments. These segments are
519 brought into Squid memory space using an mmap(2) system call. During
520 Squid startup, the mmap() call often succeeds regardless of whether
521 the system has enough RAM. In general, Squid cannot tell whether the
522 kernel applies this "optimistic" memory allocation policy (but
523 popular modern kernels usually use it).
524
525 Later, if Squid attempts to actually access the mapped memory
526 regions beyond what the kernel is willing to allocate, the
527 "optimistic" kernel simply kills Squid kid with a SIGBUS signal.
528 Some of the memory limits enforced by the kernel are currently
529 poorly understood: We do not know how to detect and check them. This
530 option ensures that the mapped memory will be available.
531
532 This option may have a positive performance side-effect: Locking
533 memory at start avoids runtime paging I/O. Paging slows Squid down.
534
535 Locking memory may require a large enough RLIMIT_MEMLOCK OS limit,
536 CAP_IPC_LOCK capability, or equivalent.

545 Normally, when a kid process dies, Squid immediately restarts the
546 kid. A kid experiencing frequent deaths is marked as "hopeless" for
547 the duration specified by this directive. Hopeless kids are not
548 automatically restarted.
549
550 Currently, zero values are not supported because they result in
551 misconfigured SMP Squid instances running forever, endlessly
552 restarting each dying kid. To effectively disable hopeless kids
553 revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year).
554
555 Reconfiguration also clears all hopeless kids designations, allowing
556 for manual revival of hopeless kids.

560 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION

564NAME: auth_param
565TYPE: authparam
566IFDEF: USE_AUTH
567LOC: Auth::TheConfig.schemes
568DEFAULT: none
569DOC_START
570 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
571 schemes supported by Squid.
572
573 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
574
575 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
576 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
577 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
578 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
579 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
580 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
581 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
582 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
583 program entry).
584
585 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
586 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
587 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
588 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
589
590 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
591 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. For a
592 given transaction, (re)authentication is requested in two primary cases
593 detailed below: initial authentication and re-authentication.
594
595 A client without credentials is requested to authenticate if one of the
596 following ACLs is evaluated by an http_access or adapted_http_access rule:
597
598 * proxy_auth ACL
599 * proxy_auth_regex ACL
600 * max_user_ip ACL
601 * external ACL with %ul logformat %code used in FORMAT parameters
602 * external ACL with %LOGIN macro used in FORMAT parameters;
603 this legacy macro currently behaves the same as %ul logformat %code
604
605 A client with credentials is requested to re-authenticate if http_access
606 or adapted_http_access denies its request _and_ the last evaluated ACL was
607 either proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex, or an external
608 ACL with %ul or %LOGIN parameter (regardless of whether that last
609 evaluated ACL matched the denied request). Note that a max_user_ip ACL
610 does not have this effect: Requests denied after evaluating max_user_ip
611 trigger an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) response rather than re-authentication.
612
613 In both initial authentication and re-authentication cases, client access
614 is denied, typically with an HTTP 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) or
615 an HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) response.
616
617 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
618 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
619 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
620 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
621 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
622 authentication disabled.
623
624 === Parameters common to all schemes. ===
625
626 "program" cmdline
627 Specifies the command for the external authenticator.
628
629 By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a
630 program is specified.
631
632 See https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for
633 more details on helper operations and creating your own.
634
635 "key_extras" format
636 Specifies a string to be append to request line format for
637 the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain
638 spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro
639 can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if
640 the helper request is sent before the required macro
641 information is available to Squid.
642
643 By default, Squid uses request formats provided in
644 scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials).
645
646 The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials
647 cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to
648 authenticate different users with identical user names (e.g.,
649 when user authentication depends on http_port).
650
651 Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For
652 example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently
653 in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat
654 every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL
655 and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also
656 force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP
657 changes.
658
659 "realm" string
660 Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be
661 reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is
662 commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for
663 their username and password.
664
665 For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server".
666 For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory.
667 For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored.
668
669 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
670 [queue-size=N] [on-persistent-overload=action]
671 [reservation-timeout=seconds]
672
673 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If
674 you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process
675 a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When
676 password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are
677 likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
678
679 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact
680 amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup
681 and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to
682 idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N
683 free above those traffic needs up to the maximum.
684
685 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests
686 the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers
687 who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a
688 number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a
689 channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing
690 multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel
691 without waiting for the response.
692
693 Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper
694 supports the input format with channel-ID fields.
695
696 The queue-size option sets the maximum number of queued
697 requests. A request is queued when no existing child can
698 accept it due to concurrency limit and no new child can be
699 started due to numberofchildren limit. The default maximum is
700 2*numberofchildren. Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the
701 configured maximum, marking the affected helper as
702 "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts more than 3
703 minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload
704 option applies.
705
706 The on-persistent-overload=action option specifies Squid
707 reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper
708 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number
709 of queued requests determines whether the helper is overloaded
710 (see the queue-size option).
711
712 Two actions are supported:
713
714 die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior.
715
716 ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was
717 immediately submitted, and the helper immediately
718 replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect
719 on the already queued and in-progress helper requests.
720
721 NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency
722 in the Squid code module even though some helpers can.
723
724 The reservation-timeout=seconds option allows NTLM and Negotiate
725 helpers to forget about clients that abandon their in-progress
726 connection authentication without closing the connection. The
727 timeout is measured since the last helper response received by
728 Squid for the client. Fractional seconds are not supported.
729
730 After the timeout, the helper will be used for other clients if
731 there are no unreserved helpers available. In the latter case,
732 the old client attempt to resume authentication will not be
733 forwarded to the helper (and the client should open a new HTTP
734 connection and retry authentication from scratch).
735
736 By default, reservations do not expire and clients that keep
737 their connections open without completing authentication may
738 exhaust all NTLM and Negotiate helpers.
739
740 "keep_alive" on|off
741 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using
742 the NTLM or Negotiate schemes then you can try setting this
743 to off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection
744 on the initial request where the browser asks which schemes
745 are supported by the proxy.
746
747 For Basic and Digest this parameter is ignored.
748
749 "utf8" on|off
750 Useful for sending credentials to authentication backends that
751 expect UTF-8 encoding (e.g., LDAP).
752
753 When this option is enabled, Squid uses HTTP Accept-Language
754 request header to guess the received credentials encoding
755 (ISO-Latin-1, CP1251, or UTF-8) and then converts the first
756 two encodings into UTF-8.
757
758 When this option is disabled and by default, Squid sends
759 credentials in their original (i.e. received) encoding.
760
761 This parameter is only honored for Basic and Digest schemes.
762 For Basic, the entire username:password credentials are
763 checked and, if necessary, re-encoded. For Digest -- just the
764 username component. For NTLM and Negotiate schemes, this
765 parameter is ignored.
766
767IF HAVE_AUTH_MODULE_BASIC
768 === Basic authentication parameters ===
769
770 "credentialsttl" timetolive
771 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
772 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
773 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
774 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords.
775
776 NOTE: setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
777 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
778 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
779 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
780 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
781
782 "casesensitive" on|off
783 Specifies whether upper case letters in client-sent usernames are
784 preserved. By default and when explicitly set to "off", a username
785 extracted from Proxy-Authorization or Authorization request header is
786 forced to lower case before user credentials are checked or stored.
787
788 Most user databases are case insensitive, allowing the same username to be
789 spelled using both lower and upper case letters. For such databases, any
790 casesenstive setting should work, but forcing usernames to lower case may
791 still make a big difference for Squid internal caches like those used by
792 an external ACL with %un logformat code in FORMAT and a user_max_ip ACL.
793
794 When working with a case sensitive database, set casesensitive to "on".
795
796 Squid ACLs like proxy_auth are case-sensitive by default. An ACL using
797 upper case letters in user names (e.g., `acl badGuys proxy_auth Bob`)
798 will not match any user with Basic Authentication credentials unless
799 casesensitive is explicitly turned "on" (to preserve "Bob" username
800 instead of converting it to "bob" before the ACL is checked).
801
802ENDIF
803IF HAVE_AUTH_MODULE_DIGEST
804 === Digest authentication parameters ===
805
806 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
807 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
808 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
809
810 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
811 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
812 valid for.
813
814 "nonce_max_count" number
815 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
816 used.
817
818 "nonce_strictness" on|off
819 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
820 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
821 user agents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
822 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
823
824 "check_nonce_count" on|off
825 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
826 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
827 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
828 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
829
830 "post_workaround" on|off
831 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who send an
832 incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing the
833 same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

918 for 1 hour)
919
920 negative_ttl=n
921 TTL for cached negative lookups (default same
922 as ttl)
923
924 grace=n Percentage remaining of TTL where a refresh of a
925 cached entry should be initiated without needing to
926 wait for a new reply. (default is for no grace period)
927
928 cache=n The maximum number of entries in the result cache. The
929 default limit is 262144 entries. Each cache entry usually
930 consumes at least 256 bytes. Squid currently does not remove
931 expired cache entries until the limit is reached, so a proxy
932 will sooner or later reach the limit. The expanded FORMAT
933 value is used as the cache key, so if the details in FORMAT
934 are highly variable, a larger cache may be needed to produce
935 reduction in helper load.
936
937 children-max=n
938 Maximum number of acl helper processes spawned to service
939 external acl lookups of this type. (default 5)
940
941 children-startup=n
942 Minimum number of acl helper processes to spawn during
943 startup and reconfigure to service external acl lookups
944 of this type. (default 0)
945
946 children-idle=n
947 Number of acl helper processes to keep ahead of traffic
948 loads. Squid will spawn this many at once whenever load
949 rises above the capabilities of existing processes.
950 Up to the value of children-max. (default 1)
951
952 concurrency=n concurrency level per process. Only used with helpers
953 capable of processing more than one query at a time.
954
955 queue-size=N The queue-size option sets the maximum number of
956 queued requests. A request is queued when no existing
957 helper can accept it due to concurrency limit and no
958 new helper can be started due to children-max limit.
959 If the queued requests exceed queue size, the acl is
960 ignored. The default value is set to 2*children-max.
961
962 protocol=2.5 Compatibility mode for Squid-2.5 external acl helpers.
963
964 ipv4 / ipv6 IP protocol used to communicate with this helper.
965 The default is to auto-detect IPv6 and use it when available.
966
967
968 FORMAT is a series of %macro codes. See logformat directive for a full list
969 of the accepted codes. Although note that at the time of any external ACL
970 being tested data may not be available and thus some %macro expand to '-'.
971
972 In addition to the logformat codes; when processing external ACLs these
973 additional macros are made available:
974
975 %ACL The name of the ACL being tested.
976
977 %DATA The ACL arguments specified in the referencing config
978 'acl ... external' line, separated by spaces (an
979 "argument string"). see acl external.
980
981 If there are no ACL arguments %DATA expands to '-'.
982
983 If you do not specify a DATA macro inside FORMAT,
984 Squid automatically appends %DATA to your FORMAT.
985 Note that Squid-3.x may expand %DATA to whitespace
986 or nothing in this case.
987
988 By default, Squid applies URL-encoding to each ACL
989 argument inside the argument string. If an explicit
990 encoding modifier is used (e.g., %#DATA), then Squid
991 encodes the whole argument string as a single token
992 (e.g., with %#DATA, spaces between arguments become
993 %20).
994
995 If SSL is enabled, the following formatting codes become available:
996
997 %USER_CERT SSL User certificate in PEM format
998 %USER_CERTCHAIN SSL User certificate chain in PEM format
999 %USER_CERT_xx SSL User certificate subject attribute xx
1000 %USER_CA_CERT_xx SSL User certificate issuer attribute xx
1001
1002
1003 NOTE: all other format codes accepted by older Squid versions
1004 are deprecated.
1005
1006
1007 General request syntax:
1008
1009 [channel-ID] FORMAT-values
1010
1011
1012 FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with
1013 whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification
1014 using the FORMAT macros listed above.
1015
1016 Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect
1017 each value in requests against whitespaces.
1018
1019 If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not
1020 URL escaped to protect against whitespace.
1021
1022 NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary.
1023
1024 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
1025 introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response.
1026 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
1027 This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part
1028 of the response relating to its request.
1029
1030
1031 The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification
1032 and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result
1033 code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details.
1034
1035
1036 General result syntax:
1037
1038 [channel-ID] result keyword=value ...
1039
1040 Result consists of one of the codes:
1041
1042 OK
1043 the ACL test produced a match.
1044
1045 ERR
1046 the ACL test does not produce a match.
1047
1048 BH
1049 An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing
1050 a result being identified.
1051
1052 The meaning of 'a match' is determined by your squid.conf
1053 access control configuration. See the Squid wiki for details.
1054
1055 Defined keywords:
1056
1057 user= The users name (login)
1058
1059 password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
1060
1061 message= Message describing the reason for this response.
1062 Available as %o in error pages.
1063 Useful on (ERR and BH results).
1064
1065 tag= Apply a tag to a request. Only sets a tag once,
1066 does not alter existing tags.
1067
1068 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
1069 %ea in logformat specifications.
1070
1071 clt_conn_tag= Associates a TAG with the client TCP connection.
1072 Please see url_rewrite_program related documentation
1073 for this kv-pair.
1074
1075 Any keywords may be sent on any response whether OK, ERR or BH.
1076
1077 All response keyword values need to be a single token with URL
1078 escaping, or enclosed in double quotes (") and escaped using \ on
1079 any double quotes or \ characters within the value. The wrapping
1080 double quotes are removed before the value is interpreted by Squid.
1081 \r and \n are also replace by CR and LF.

1108 Defining an Access List
1109
1110 Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype,
1111 followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that
1112 they are read from.
1113
1114 acl aclname acltype argument ...
1115 acl aclname acltype "file" ...
1116
1117 When using "file", the file should contain one item per line.
1118
1119
1120 ACL Options
1121
1122 Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour:
1123
1124 -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them
1125 case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive
1126 use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line
1127 without -i.
1128
1129 -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or
1130 conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or
1131 domain name) does not match the message address type (domain
1132 name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch
1133 without any warnings or lookups.
1134
1135 -m[=delimiters]
1136 Perform a list membership test, interpreting values as
1137 comma-separated token lists and matching against individual
1138 tokens instead of whole values.
1139 The optional "delimiters" parameter specifies one or more
1140 alternative non-alphanumeric delimiter characters.
1141 non-alphanumeric delimiter characters.
1142
1143 -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl
1144 value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-'
1145 is a valid domain name)
1146
1147 Some acl types require suspending the current request in order
1148 to access some external data source.
1149 Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which
1150 don't are marked as [fast].

1721 Determine which client proxies can be trusted to provide correct
1722 information regarding real client IP address using PROXY protocol.
1723
1724 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
1725 before reaching us. The original source details may by sent in:
1726 * HTTP message Forwarded header, or
1727 * HTTP message X-Forwarded-For header, or
1728 * PROXY protocol connection header.
1729
1730 This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol
1731 connections received from a port flagged with require-proxy-header.
1732 It is checked only once after TCP connection setup.
1733
1734 A deny match results in TCP connection closure.
1735
1736 An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding
1737 TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers.
1738 If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information
1739 to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL
1740 checks, logging, etc.
1741
1742 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
1743
1744 Any host from which we accept client IP details can place
1745 incorrect information in the relevant header, and Squid
1746 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
1747 source address of the request. This may enable remote
1748 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
1749 based on the client's source addresses.

1770
1771 PROXY protocol connections are controlled by the proxy_protocol_access
1772 directive which is checked before this.
1773
1774 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
1775 directive, then we trust the information it provides regarding
1776 the IP of the client it received from (if any).
1777
1778 For the purpose of ACLs used in this directive the src ACL type always
1779 matches the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.
1780
1781 On each HTTP request Squid checks for X-Forwarded-For header fields.
1782 If found the header values are iterated in reverse order and an allow
1783 match is required for Squid to continue on to the next value.
1784 The verification ends when a value receives a deny match, cannot be
1785 tested, or there are no more values to test.
1786 NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header.
1787
1788 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
1789 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
1790 be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
1791 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
1792 icap_uses_indirect_client, delay_pool_uses_indirect_client,

2112 for this reply.
2113
2114 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
2115 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
2116 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
2117 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
2118 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply

2121
2122 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply

2148 Determines Squid behavior when encountering strange requests at the
2149 beginning of an accepted TCP connection or the beginning of a bumped
2150 CONNECT tunnel. Controlling Squid reaction to unexpected traffic is

2153 terminate or tunnel at TCP level.
2154
2155 on_unsupported_protocol <action> [!]acl ...
2156
2157 The first matching action wins. Only fast ACLs are supported.
2158
2159 Supported actions are:
2160
2161 tunnel: Establish a TCP connection with the intended server and
2162 blindly shovel TCP packets between the client and server.
2163
2164 respond: Respond with an error message, using the transfer protocol
2165 for the Squid port that received the request (e.g., HTTP
2166 for connections intercepted at the http_port). This is the
2167 default.
2168
2169 Squid expects the following traffic patterns:
2170
2171 http_port: a plain HTTP request
2172 https_port: SSL/TLS handshake followed by an [encrypted] HTTP request
2173 ftp_port: a plain FTP command (no on_unsupported_protocol support yet!)
2174 CONNECT tunnel on http_port: same as https_port
2175 CONNECT tunnel on https_port: same as https_port
2176
2177 Currently, this directive has effect on intercepted connections and
2178 bumped tunnels only. Other cases are not supported because Squid
2179 cannot know the intended destination of other traffic.
2180
2181 For example:
2182 # define what Squid errors indicate receiving non-HTTP traffic:
2183 acl foreignProtocol squid_error ERR_PROTOCOL_UNKNOWN ERR_TOO_BIG
2184 # define what Squid errors indicate receiving nothing:
2185 acl serverTalksFirstProtocol squid_error ERR_REQUEST_START_TIMEOUT
2186 # tunnel everything that does not look like HTTP:
2187 on_unsupported_protocol tunnel foreignProtocol
2188 # tunnel if we think the client waits for the server to talk first:

2217 The first matching auth_schemes rule determines the schemes order
2218 for the current Authentication Required transaction. Note that the

2220
2221 If this directive is not used or none of its rules match, then Squid
2222 responds with all configured authentication schemes in the order of

2255 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
2256 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
2257 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
2258 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
2259 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
2260 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
2261 address, so you can use the port number alone.
2262
2263 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
2264 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
2265
2266 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
2267 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
2268 be plain proxy ports with no options.
2269
2270 You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.
2271
2272 Modes:
2273
2274 intercept Support for IP-Layer NAT interception delivering
2275 traffic to this Squid port.
2276 NP: disables authentication on the port.
2277
2278 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY (or BSD divert-to) with spoofing
2279 of outgoing connections using the client IP address.
2280 NP: disables authentication on the port.

2286 the server, decrypt HTTPS messages as they pass through
2287 Squid, and treat them as unencrypted HTTP messages,
2288 becoming the man-in-the-middle.
2289
2290 The ssl_bump option is required to fully enable
2291 bumping of CONNECT requests.
2292
2293 Omitting the mode flag causes default forward proxy mode to be used.

2300 in a request. Determines what site (not origin server)
2301 accelerators should consider the default.
2302
2303 no-vhost Disable using HTTP/1.1 Host header for virtual domain support.
2304
2305 protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted
2306 requests with. Defaults to HTTP/1.1 for http_port and
2307 HTTPS/1.1 for https_port.
2308 When an unsupported value is configured Squid will
2309 produce a FATAL error.
2310 Values: HTTP or HTTP/1.1, HTTPS or HTTPS/1.1
2311
2312 vport Virtual host port support. Using the http_port number
2313 instead of the port passed on Host: headers.
2314
2315 vport=NN Virtual host port support. Using the specified port
2316 number instead of the port passed on Host: headers.

2319 Act as if this Squid is the origin server.
2320 This currently means generate new Date: and Expires:
2321 headers on HIT instead of adding Age:.
2322
2323 ignore-cc Ignore request Cache-Control headers.
2324
2325 WARNING: This option violates HTTP specifications if
2326 used in non-accelerator setups.
2327
2328 allow-direct Allow direct forwarding in accelerator mode. Normally
2329 accelerated requests are denied direct forwarding as if
2330 never_direct was used.
2331
2332 WARNING: this option opens accelerator mode to security

2337
2338 SSL Bump Mode Options:
2339 In addition to these options ssl-bump requires TLS/SSL options.
2340
2341 generate-host-certificates[=<on|off>]
2342 Dynamically create SSL server certificates for the
2343 destination hosts of bumped CONNECT requests.When
2344 enabled, the cert and key options are used to sign
2345 generated certificates. Otherwise generated
2346 certificate will be selfsigned.
2347 If there is a CA certificate lifetime of the generated
2348 certificate equals lifetime of the CA certificate. If
2349 generated certificate is selfsigned lifetime is three
2350 years.
2351 This option is enabled by default when ssl-bump is used.
2352 See the ssl-bump option above for more information.
2353
2354 dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=SIZE
2355 Approximate total RAM size spent on cached generated
2356 certificates. If set to zero, caching is disabled. The
2357 default value is 4MB.
2358
2359 TLS / SSL Options:
2360
2361 tls-cert= Path to file containing an X.509 certificate (PEM format)
2362 to be used in the TLS handshake ServerHello.
2363
2364 If this certificate is constrained by KeyUsage TLS
2365 feature it must allow HTTP server usage, along with
2366 any additional restrictions imposed by your choice
2367 of options= settings.
2368
2369 When OpenSSL is used this file may also contain a
2370 chain of intermediate CA certificates to send in the
2371 TLS handshake.
2372
2373 When GnuTLS is used this option (and any paired
2374 tls-key= option) may be repeated to load multiple
2375 certificates for different domains.
2376
2377 Also, when generate-host-certificates=on is configured
2378 the first tls-cert= option must be a CA certificate
2379 capable of signing the automatically generated
2380 certificates.
2381
2382 tls-key= Path to a file containing private key file (PEM format)
2383 for the previous tls-cert= option.
2384
2385 If tls-key= is not specified tls-cert= is assumed to
2386 reference a PEM file containing both the certificate
2387 and private key.
2388
2389 cipher= Colon separated list of supported ciphers.
2390 NOTE: some ciphers such as EDH ciphers depend on
2391 additional settings. If those settings are
2392 omitted the ciphers may be silently ignored
2393 by the OpenSSL library.
2394
2395 options= Various SSL implementation options. The most important
2396 being:
2397
2398 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
2399
2400 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1.0
2401
2402 NO_TLSv1_1 Disallow the use of TLSv1.1
2403
2404 NO_TLSv1_2 Disallow the use of TLSv1.2
2405
2406 SINGLE_DH_USE
2407 Always create a new key when using
2408 temporary/ephemeral DH key exchanges
2409
2410 SINGLE_ECDH_USE
2411 Enable ephemeral ECDH key exchange.
2412 The adopted curve should be specified
2413 using the tls-dh option.
2414
2415 NO_TICKET
2416 Disable use of RFC5077 session tickets.
2417 Some servers may have problems
2418 understanding the TLS extension due
2419 to ambiguous specification in RFC4507.
2420
2421 ALL Enable various bug workarounds
2422 suggested as "harmless" by OpenSSL
2423 Be warned that this reduces SSL/TLS
2424 strength to some attacks.
2425
2426 See the OpenSSL SSL_CTX_set_options documentation for a
2427 more complete list.
2428
2429 clientca= File containing the list of CAs to use when
2430 requesting a client certificate.
2431
2432 tls-cafile= PEM file containing CA certificates to use when verifying
2433 client certificates. If not configured clientca will be
2434 used. May be repeated to load multiple files.
2435
2436 capath= Directory containing additional CA certificates
2437 and CRL lists to use when verifying client certificates.
2438 Requires OpenSSL or LibreSSL.
2439
2440 crlfile= File of additional CRL lists to use when verifying
2441 the client certificate, in addition to CRLs stored in
2442 the capath. Implies VERIFY_CRL flag below.
2443
2444 tls-dh=[curve:]file
2445 File containing DH parameters for temporary/ephemeral DH key
2446 exchanges, optionally prefixed by a curve for ephemeral ECDH
2447 key exchanges.
2448 See OpenSSL documentation for details on how to create the
2449 DH parameter file. Supported curves for ECDH can be listed
2450 using the "openssl ecparam -list_curves" command.
2451 WARNING: EDH and EECDH ciphers will be silently disabled if
2452 this option is not set.
2453
2454 sslflags= Various flags modifying the use of SSL:
2455 DELAYED_AUTH
2456 Don't request client certificates
2457 immediately, but wait until acl processing
2458 requires a certificate (not yet implemented).
2459 CONDITIONAL_AUTH
2460 Request a client certificate during the TLS
2461 handshake, but ignore certificate absence in
2462 the TLS client Hello. If the client does
2463 supply a certificate, it is validated.
2464 NO_SESSION_REUSE
2465 Don't allow for session reuse. Each connection
2466 will result in a new SSL session.
2467 VERIFY_CRL
2468 Verify CRL lists when accepting client
2469 certificates.
2470 VERIFY_CRL_ALL
2471 Verify CRL lists for all certificates in the
2472 client certificate chain.
2473
2474 tls-default-ca[=off]
2475 Whether to use the system Trusted CAs. Default is OFF.
2476
2477 tls-no-npn Do not use the TLS NPN extension to advertise HTTP/1.1.
2478
2479 sslcontext= SSL session ID context identifier.
2480
2481 Other Options:
2482
2483 connection-auth[=on|off]
2484 use connection-auth=off to tell Squid to prevent
2485 forwarding Microsoft connection oriented authentication
2486 (NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos)
2487
2488 disable-pmtu-discovery=
2489 Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
2490 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
2491 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
2492 support is enabled.
2493 always disable always PMTU discovery.
2494
2495 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
2496 Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
2497 clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
2498 does not fully track connections and fails to forward
2499 ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
2500 have such setup and experience that certain clients
2501 sporadically hang or never complete requests set
2502 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.
2503
2504 name= Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
2505 the port specification (port or addr:port)
2506
2507 tcpkeepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]
2508 Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections.
2509 In seconds; idle is the initial time before TCP starts
2510 probing the connection, interval how often to probe, and
2511 timeout the time before giving up.
2512
2513 require-proxy-header
2514 Require PROXY protocol version 1 or 2 connections.
2515 The proxy_protocol_access is required to permit
2516 downstream proxies which can be trusted.
2517
2518 worker-queues
2519 Ask TCP stack to maintain a dedicated listening queue
2520 for each worker accepting requests at this port.
2521 Requires TCP stack that supports the SO_REUSEPORT socket
2522 option.
2523
2524 SECURITY WARNING: Enabling worker-specific queues
2525 allows any process running as Squid's effective user to
2526 easily accept requests destined to this port.
2527
2528 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
2529 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
2530 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
2531 visible on the internal address.

2568 Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid
2569 listens for FTP client requests. See http_port directive for various
2570 ways to specify the listening address and mode.
2571
2572 Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options]
2573
2574 WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen
2575 limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not
2576 currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not
2577 even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying!
2578
2579 Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests
2580 with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives
2581 actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs).
2582
2583 Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or
2584 wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP
2585 responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages
2586 are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers
2587 between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to
2588 examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP
2589 mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example,
2590 http_access and adaptation_access directives are used.
2591
2592 Modes:
2593
2594 intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is
2595 determined based on the intended destination of the
2596 intercepted connection.
2597
2598 tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing
2599 connections using the client IP address.
2600 NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port.
2601
2602 By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the
2603 FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER
2604 command. Many popular FTP clients support such native FTP proxying.
2605
2606 Options:
2607
2608 name=token Specifies an internal name for the port. Defaults to
2609 the port address. Usable with myportname ACL.
2610
2611 ftp-track-dirs
2612 Enables tracking of FTP directories by injecting extra
2613 PWD commands and adjusting Request-URI (in wrapping
2614 HTTP requests) to reflect the current FTP server
2615 directory. Tracking is disabled by default.
2616
2617 protocol=FTP Protocol to reconstruct accelerated and intercepted
2618 requests with. Defaults to FTP. No other accepted
2619 values have been tested with. An unsupported value
2620 results in a FATAL error. Accepted values are FTP,
2621 HTTP (or HTTP/1.1), and HTTPS (or HTTPS/1.1).
2622
2623 Other http_port modes and options that are not specific to HTTP and
2624 HTTPS may also work.

2751 The mark-value and mask are unsigned integers (hex, octal, or decimal).

2753 (e.g., iptables).
2754
2755 A matching rule replaces the CONNMARK value. If a mask is also
2756 specified, then the masked bits of the original value are zeroed, and
2757 the configured mark-value is ORed with that adjusted value.
2758 For example, applying a mark-value 0xAB/0xF to 0x5F CONNMARK, results
2759 in a 0xFB marking (rather than a 0xAB or 0x5B).

2801 Note that only multiples of 4 are usable as the two rightmost bits have
2802 been redefined for use by ECN (RFC 3168 section 23.1).
2803 The squid parser will enforce this by masking away the ECN bits.
2804
2805 Mark values can be any unsigned 32-bit integer value.
2806
2807 This setting is configured by setting the following values:
2808
2809 tos|mark Whether to set TOS or netfilter mark values
2810
2811 local-hit=0xFF Value to mark local cache hits.
2812
2813 sibling-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from sibling peers.
2814
2815 parent-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from parent peers.
2816
2817 miss=0xFF[/mask] Value to mark cache misses. Takes precedence
2818 over the preserve-miss feature (see below), unless
2819 mask is specified, in which case only the bits
2820 specified in the mask are written.
2821
2822 The TOS variant of the following features are only possible on Linux
2823 and require your kernel to be patched with the TOS preserving ZPH
2824 patch, available from http://zph.bratcheda.org
2825 No patch is needed to preserve the netfilter mark, which will work
2826 with all variants of netfilter.
2827
2828 disable-preserve-miss
2829 This option disables the preservation of the TOS or netfilter
2830 mark. By default, the existing TOS or netfilter mark value of
2831 the response coming from the remote server will be retained
2832 and masked with miss-mark.
2833 NOTE: in the case of a netfilter mark, the mark must be set on
2834 the connection (using the CONNMARK target) not on the packet
2835 (MARK target).
2836
2837 miss-mask=0xFF
2838 Allows you to mask certain bits in the TOS or mark value
2839 received from the remote server, before copying the value to
2840 the TOS sent towards clients.
2841 Default for tos: 0xFF (TOS from server is not changed).
2842 Default for mark: 0xFFFFFFFF (mark from server is not changed).
2843
2844 All of these features require the --enable-zph-qos compilation flag
2845 (enabled by default). Netfilter marking also requires the
2846 libnetfilter_conntrack libraries (--with-netfilter-conntrack) and
2847 libcap 2.09+ (--with-libcap).

2905 Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted
2906 traffic, Squid always verifies that the destination IP address matches
2907 the Host header domain or IP (called 'authority form URL').
2908
2909 This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in
2910 RFC 2616 section 14.23: "The Host field value MUST represent the naming
2911 authority of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL".
2912
2913 When set to ON:
2914 Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error
2915 page and logs a security warning if there is no match.
2916
2917 Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
2918 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
2919 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
2920 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
2921 and Request-URI components:
2922
2923 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
2924 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
2925 For the two host names to match, both must be either IP
2926 or FQDN.
2927
2928 * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing
2929 the scheme-default port is assumed.
2930
2931
2932 When set to OFF (the default):
2933 Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a
2934 security warning and blocks caching of the response.
2935
2936 * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
2937
2938 * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
2939
2940 * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled
2941 according to client_dst_passthru.
2942
2943 * Intercepted requests which fail verification are sent
2944 to the client original destination instead of DIRECT.
2945 This overrides 'client_dst_passthru off'.
2946
2947 For now suspicious intercepted CONNECT requests are always
2948 responded to with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error page.
2949
2950
2951 SECURITY NOTE:
2952
2953 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
2954 to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
2955 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
2956 security policy and sandboxing protections.
2957
2958 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
2959 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
2960 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
2961 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
2962 be different from the connected IP and approved origin.

2971 With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request
2972 directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster
2973 source using the HTTP Host header.
2974
2975 Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster
2976 connectivity with a range of failure recovery options.
2977 But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and
2978 server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy.
2979
2980 This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being
2981 located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server.
2982 The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead.
2983
2984 Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted
2985 traffic Squid will verify the Host: header and any traffic which
2986 fails Host verification will be treated as if this option were ON.

3199 Receive client (step SslBump1) or server (step SslBump2)
3200 certificate while preserving the possibility of splicing the

3222 Bump the connection. Establish a secure connection with the
3223 server first, then establish a secure connection with the
3224 client, using a mimicked server certificate. Works with both
3225 CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL connections, but does
3226 not allow to make decisions based on SSL handshake info.
3227

3368 corresponding adaptation algorithm to generate the certificate and
3369 ignores all subsequent sslproxy_cert_adapt options in that algorithm's
3370 group (i.e., the first match wins within each algorithm group). If no
3371 acl(s) match, the default mimicking action takes place.
3372
3373 WARNING: SQUID_X509_V_ERR_DOMAIN_MISMATCH and ssl:certDomainMismatch can
3374 be used with sslproxy_cert_adapt, but if and only if Squid is bumping a
3375 CONNECT request that carries a domain name. In all other cases (CONNECT
3376 to an IP address or an intercepted SSL connection), Squid cannot detect
3377 the domain mismatch at certificate generation time when
3378 bump-server-first is used.

3480 Reconfiguration purges any excess entries. To disable caching,
3481 use cache=0. Currently, cache entry sizes are seriously

3565 For example,
3566
3567 # proxy icp

3569 # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- -----------
3570 cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 default

3573 cache_peer example.com parent 80 0 default
3574 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
3575
3576 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
3577
3578 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
3579 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
3580 For web servers this is usually 80
3581
3582 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
3583 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
3584 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
3585
3586
3587 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
3588
3589 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
3590 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
3591
3592
3593 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
3594
3595 multicast-responder
3596 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
3597 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
3598 replies will be accepted from it.
3599
3600 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
3601 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
3602
3603 background-ping
3604 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
3605 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
3606 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
3607
3608
3609 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
3610
3611 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
3612 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
3613
3614
3615 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
3616 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
3617 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
3618 list of options described below.
3619
3620 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
3621
3622 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
3623 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
3624 only-clr.
3625
3626 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
3627 This cannot be used with no-clr.
3628
3629 htcp=no-purge-clr
3630 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
3631 they do not result from PURGE requests.
3632
3633 htcp=forward-clr
3634 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
3635
3636
3637 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
3638
3639 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
3640 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
3641
3642
3643 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
3644 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
3645 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
3646
3647 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3648 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
3649 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3650
3651 weighted-round-robin
3652 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
3653 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
3654 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
3655 Usually used for background-ping parents.
3656 weight=N can be used to add bias.
3657
3658 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
3659 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
3660 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
3661
3662 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth username.
3663
3664 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
3665
3666 multicast-siblings
3667 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
3668 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
3669 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
3670 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
3671 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
3672 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
3673 members of the same multicast group.
3674
3675
3676 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
3677
3678 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
3679 peer-selection mechanisms.
3680 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
3681 larger weights are favored more.
3682 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
3683 protocol is not in use.
3684
3685 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
3686 times of parents.
3687 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
3688 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
3689 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
3690
3691 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
3692 to this address.
3693 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
3694 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
3695 hosts, you must configure other group members as
3696 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
3697
3698 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
3699 delay pools.
3700
3701 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
3702 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
3703 than the Squid default location.
3704
3705
3706 ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
3707
3708 carp-key=key-specification
3709 use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
3710 the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
3711 scheme, host, port, path, params
3712 Order is not important.
3713
3714 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
3715
3716 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
3717 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
3718 is a web server.
3719
3720 forceddomain=name
3721 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
3722 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
3723 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
3724 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
3725
3726 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
3727
3728 no-netdb-exchange
3729 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
3730
3731
3732 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
3733
3734 login=user:password
3735 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3736 requires proxy authentication.
3737
3738 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
3739 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
3740
3741 login=PASSTHRU
3742 Send login details received from client to this peer.
3743 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
3744 without alteration to the peer.
3745 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
3746
3747 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
3748 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
3749 connection-auth options are also used.
3750
3751 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
3752 Authentication is not required by this option.
3753
3754 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
3755 to pass on, but username and password are available
3756 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
3757 they may be sent instead.
3758
3759 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
3760 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
3761 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
3762 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
3763 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
3764
3765 login=*:password
3766 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
3767 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
3768 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
3769 needed to identify each user.
3770 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
3771 information which is added to the username. This can
3772 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
3773 the login=username:password option above.
3774
3775 login=NEGOTIATE
3776 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3777 requires a secure proxy authentication.
3778 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
3779 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
3780
3781 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
3782 clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
3783 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
3784
3785 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
3786 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
3787 requires a secure proxy authentication.
3788 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
3789 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
3790 used.
3791
3792 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
3793 clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
3794 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
3795
3796 connection-auth=on|off
3797 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
3798 connection oriented authentication, and any such
3799 challenges received from there should be ignored.
3800 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
3801 of the peer.
3802
3803 auth-no-keytab
3804 Do not use a keytab to authenticate to a peer when
3805 login=NEGOTIATE is specified. Let the GSSAPI
3806 implementation determine which already existing
3807 credentials cache to use instead.
3808

3905
3906 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
3907
3908 connect-timeout=N
3909 A peer-specific connect timeout.
3910 Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
3911
3912 connect-fail-limit=N
3913 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
3914 it is marked as down. Standby connection failures
3915 count towards this limit. Default is 10.
3916
3917 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
3918 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
3919 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use
3920 of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way
3921 to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to
3922 deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer:
3923 acl fromPeer ...
3924 cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer
3925
3926 max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid
3927 may open to this peer, including already opened idle
3928 and standby connections. There is no peer-specific
3929 connection limit by default.
3930
3931 A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new
3932 requests unless a standby connection is available.
3933
3934 max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent
3935 connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit,
3936 and there are idle persistent connections to the peer,
3937 the peer may not be selected because the limiting code
3938 does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle
3939 connections.
3940
3941 standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an
3942 UP peer, available for requests when no idle
3943 persistent connection is available (or safe) to use.
3944 By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained.
3945 N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any).
3946
3947 At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP
3948 standby connections until there are N connections
3949 available and then replenishes the standby pool as
3950 opened connections are used up for requests. A used
3951 connection never goes back to the standby pool, but
3952 may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool
3953 shared by all peers and origin servers.
3954
3955 Squid never opens multiple new standby connections
3956 concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes
3957 flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few
3958 standby connections should be sufficient in most cases
3959 to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use
3960 connection.
3961
3962 Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout.
3963 For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be
3964 configured to accept and keep them open longer than
3965 the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize
3966 race conditions typical to idle used persistent
3967 connections. Default request_timeout and
3968 server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a
3969 configuration.
3970
3971 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
3972 Required if you have multiple cache_peers with the same hostname.
3973 Defaults to cache_peer hostname when not explicitly specified.
3974
3975 Other directives (e.g., cache_peer_access), cache manager reports,
3976 and cache.log messages use this name to refer to this cache_peer.
3977
3978 The cache_peer name value affects hashing-based peer selection
3979 methods (e.g., carp and sourcehash).
3980
3981 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
3982 peername ACL type.
3983
3984 The name value preserves configured spelling, but name uniqueness
3985 checks and name-based search are case-insensitive.
3986
3987 no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding
3988 requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead.
3989 This overrides the spoof_client_ip ACL.
3990
3991 proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally.

4007 cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the
4008 cache_peer hostname parameter.
4009
4010 This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but
4011 does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are
4012 contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms
4013 (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation).
4014
4015 If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted
4016 for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and
4017 will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves
4018 the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given
4019 peer wins for that peer.
4020
4021 The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
4022 matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives
4023 for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a
4024 good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
4025 together.
4026
4027 A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times
4028 for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms
4029 may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks
4030 may be optimized away in future Squid versions.

4067 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
4068 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this

4070 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
4071 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
4072 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
4073
4074 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
4075 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
4076 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
4077 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if

4111DOC_START
4112 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
4113 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
4114 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
4115 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
4116
4117 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
4118 for:
4119 * In-Transit objects
4120 * Hot Objects
4121 * Negative-Cached objects
4122
4123 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
4124 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
4125 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
4126 priority.
4127
4128 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
4129 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
4130 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
4131 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
4132 not needed for in-transit objects.
4133
4134 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
4135 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
4136 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
4137 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
4138 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
4139 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
4140 objects.
4141
4142 If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared
4143 cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much
4144 local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory
4145 cache, see memory_cache_shared.

4168
4169 The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
4170 the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
4171 cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
4172 objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory
4173 caching is enabled).
4174
4175 By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the
4176 following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
4177 multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
4178 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
4179 and GCC-style atomic operations).
4180
4181 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
4182 that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
4183 shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.

4233
4234 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
4235
4236 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
4237 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
4238 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
4239 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
4240
4241 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
4242 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
4243 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
4244 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
4245
4246 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
4247 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
4248 replacement policies.
4249

4303
4304 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
4305 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
4306 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
4307
4308 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
4309 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
4310 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
4311 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
4312 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
4313
4314 Rock is currently the only SMP-aware cache_dir type. Using other
4315 store types in configurations with multiple workers is not
4316 supported and may lead to HTTP violations or undefined behavior,
4317 even when each such cache_dir is given a dedicated worker using
4318 configuration conditionals.
4319
4320
4321 ==== The ufs store type ====
4322
4323 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
4324 been there.
4325
4326 Usage:
4327 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
4328
4329 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
4330 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
4331 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
4332 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
4333 subtract 20% and use that value.
4334
4335 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
4336 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
4337
4338 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
4339 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
4340 is 256.
4341
4342
4343 ==== The aufs store type ====
4344
4345 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
4346 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
4347 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
4348
4349 Usage:
4350 cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
4351
4352 see argument descriptions under ufs above
4353
4354
4355 ==== The diskd store type ====
4356
4357 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
4358 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
4359 disk-I/O.
4360
4361 Usage:
4362 cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
4363
4364 see argument descriptions under ufs above
4365
4366 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
4367 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
4368 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
4369
4370 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
4371 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
4372 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
4373
4374 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
4375 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
4376 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
4377 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
4378 time.
4379
4380
4381 ==== The rock store type ====
4382
4383 Usage:
4384 cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options]
4385
4386 The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached
4387 entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots.
4388 A single entry occupies one or more slots.
4389
4390 If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
4391 process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
4392 I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers
4393 are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
4394 for the IpcIo disk I/O module.
4395
4396 swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
4397 reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
4398 will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
4399 default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
4400 enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
4401 blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
4402 expected swap wait time.
4403
4404 max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
4405 the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
4406 would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
4407 delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
4408 not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
4409 since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
4410 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
4411 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
4412 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
4413 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
4414 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
4415 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
4416 and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
4417 enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.
4418
4419 slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for
4420 storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least
4421 one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so
4422 increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while
4423 decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a
4424 multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to
4425 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and
4426 smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than
4427 100 bytes.
4428
4429
4430 ==== COMMON OPTIONS ====
4431
4432 no-store no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir.
4433
4434 min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir
4435 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir
4436 to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while
4437 other stores are optimized for smaller objects
4438 (e.g. Rock).
4439 Defaults to 0.
4440
4441 max-size=n the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir
4442 supports.
4443 The value in maximum_object_size directive sets
4444 the default unless more specific details are
4445 available (ie a small store capacity).
4446
4447 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
4448 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first.

4462 How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response
4463 object will fit into more than one.
4464
4465 Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size
4466 and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect
4467 the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered
4468 cache_dir.
4469
4470 Algorithms:
4471
4472 least-load
4473
4474 This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir
4475 sizes and disk speeds.
4476
4477 The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
4478 When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
4479 the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
4480
4481 When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
4482 have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
4483 capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
4484 may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
4485
4486
4487 round-robin
4488
4489 This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
4490 disk sizes.
4491
4492 Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
4493 cache_dir is used.
4494
4495 Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
4496 to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
4497 max-size parameters.
4498
4499 Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
4500 disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
4501 I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.
4502
4503 If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other
4504 limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such
4505 cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias
4506 towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave
4507 cache_dir lines from different groups. For example:
4508
4509 store_dir_select_algorithm round-robin
4510 cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000
4511 cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999
4512 cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000
4513 cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999
4514 cache_dir rock /hdd3 ... min-size=100000
4515 cache_dir rock /ssd3 ... max-size=99999

4523LOC: Config.paranoid_hit_validation
4524DOC_START
4525 Controls whether Squid should perform paranoid validation of cache entry
4526 metadata integrity every time a cache entry is hit. This low-level
4527 validation should always succeed. Each failed validation results in a
4528 cache miss, a BUG line reported to cache.log, and the invalid entry
4529 marked as unusable (and eventually purged from the cache).
4530
4531 Squid can only validate shared cache memory and rock cache_dir entries.
4532
4533 * Zero (default) value means that the validation is disabled.
4534
4535 * Positive values enable validation:
4536 - values less than 1 day approximate the maximum time that Squid is allowed
4537 to spend validating a single cache hit.
4538 - values greater or equal to 1 day are considered as no limitation:
4539 in this case all checks will be performed, regardless of how much time
4540 they take.
4541
4542 Hits are usually stored using 16KB slots (for rock, the size is
4543 configurable via cache_dir slot-size). Larger hits require scanning more
4544 slots and, hence, take more time. When validation is enabled, at least one
4545 slot is always validated, regardless of the configured time limit.
4546
4547 A worker process validating an entry cannot do anything else (i.e. the
4548 validation is blocking). The validation overhead is environment dependent,
4549 but developers have observed Squid spending 3-10 microseconds to check each
4550 slot of a Rock or shared memory hit entry. If Squid cuts validation short
4551 because it runs out of configured time, it treats the entry as valid.
4552
4553 When hit validation is enabled, its statistics is included in Cache
4554 Manager mgr:counters, mgr:5min, and mgr:60min reports.

4638
4639 logformat <name> <format specification>
4640
4641 Defines an access log format.
4642
4643 The <format specification> is a string with embedded % format codes
4644
4645 % format codes all follow the same basic structure where all
4646 components but the formatcode are optional and usually unnecessary,
4647 especially when dealing with common codes.
4648
4649 % [encoding] [-] [[0]width] [{arg}] formatcode [{arg}]
4650
4651 encoding escapes or otherwise protects "special" characters:
4652
4653 " Quoted string encoding where quote(") and
4654 backslash(\) characters are \-escaped while
4655 CR, LF, and TAB characters are encoded as \r,
4656 \n, and \t two-character sequences.
4657
4658 [ Custom Squid encoding where percent(%), square
4659 brackets([]), backslash(\) and characters with
4660 codes outside of [32,126] range are %-encoded.
4661 SP is not encoded. Used by log_mime_hdrs.
4662
4663 # URL encoding (a.k.a. percent-encoding) where
4664 all URL unsafe and control characters (per RFC
4665 1738) are %-encoded.
4666
4667 / Shell-like encoding where quote(") and
4668 backslash(\) characters are \-escaped while CR
4669 and LF characters are encoded as \r and \n
4670 two-character sequences. Values containing SP
4671 character(s) are surrounded by quotes(").
4672
4673 ' Raw/as-is encoding with no escaping/quoting.
4674
4675 Default encoding: When no explicit encoding is
4676 specified, each %code determines its own encoding.
4677 Most %codes use raw/as-is encoding, but some codes use
4678 a so called "pass-through URL encoding" where all URL
4679 unsafe and control characters (per RFC 1738) are
4680 %-encoded, but the percent character(%) is left as is.
4681
4682 - left aligned
4683
4684 width minimum and/or maximum field width:
4685 [width_min][.width_max]
4686 When minimum starts with 0, the field is zero-padded.
4687 String values exceeding maximum width are truncated.

4689 {arg} argument such as header name etc. This field may be
4690 placed before or after the token, but not both at once.

4694 % a literal % character
4695
4696 byte{value} Adds a single byte with the given value (e.g., %byte{10}
4697 adds an ASCII LF character a.k.a. "new line" or "\n"). The value
4698 parameter is required and must be a positive decimal integer not
4699 exceeding 255. Zero-valued bytes (i.e. ASCII NUL characters) are
4700 not yet supported.
4701
4702 sn Unique sequence number per log line entry
4703 err_code The ID of an error response served by Squid or
4704 a similar internal error identifier.
4705
4706 err_detail Additional err_code-dependent error information. Multiple
4707 details are separated by the plus sign ('+'). Admins should not
4708 rely on a particular detail listing order, the uniqueness of the
4709 entries, or individual detail text stability. All those properties
4710 depend on many unstable factors, including external libraries.
4711
4712 note The annotation specified by the argument. Also
4713 logs the adaptation meta headers set by the
4714 adaptation_meta configuration parameter.
4715 If no argument given all annotations logged.
4716 The argument may include a separator to use with
4717 annotation values:
4718 name[:separator]
4719 By default, multiple note values are separated with ","
4720 and multiple notes are separated with "\r\n".
4721 When logging named notes with %{name}note, the
4722 explicitly configured separator is used between note
4723 values. When logging all notes with %note, the
4724 explicitly configured separator is used between
4725 individual notes. There is currently no way to
4726 specify both value and notes separators when logging
4727 all notes with %note.
4728 master_xaction The master transaction identifier is an unsigned
4729 integer. These IDs are guaranteed to monotonically
4730 increase within a single worker process lifetime, with
4731 higher values corresponding to transactions that were
4732 accepted or initiated later. Due to current implementation
4733 deficiencies, some IDs are skipped (i.e. never logged).
4734 Concurrent workers and restarted workers use similar,
4735 overlapping sequences of master transaction IDs.
4736
4737 Connection related format codes:
4738
4739 >a Client source IP address
4740 >A Client FQDN
4741 >p Client source port

4744 >lp Local port number the client connected to
4745 >qos Client connection TOS/DSCP value set by Squid
4746 >nfmark Client connection netfilter packet MARK set by Squid
4747
4748 transport::>connection_id Identifies a transport connection
4749 accepted by Squid (e.g., a connection carrying the
4750 logged HTTP request). Currently, Squid only supports
4751 TCP transport connections.
4752
4753 The logged identifier is an unsigned integer. These
4754 IDs are guaranteed to monotonically increase within a
4755 single worker process lifetime, with higher values
4756 corresponding to connections that were accepted later.
4757 Many IDs are skipped (i.e. never logged). Concurrent
4758 workers and restarted workers use similar, partially
4759 overlapping sequences of IDs.
4760
4761 la Local listening IP address the client connection was connected to.
4762 lp Local listening port number the client connection was connected to.

4766 <p Server port number of the last server or peer connection
4767 <la Local IP address of the last server or peer connection
4768 <lp Local port number of the last server or peer connection
4769 <qos Server connection TOS/DSCP value set by Squid
4770 <nfmark Server connection netfilter packet MARK set by Squid
4771
4772 >handshake Raw client handshake
4773 Initial client bytes received by Squid on a newly
4774 accepted TCP connection or inside a just established
4775 CONNECT tunnel. Squid stops accumulating handshake
4776 bytes as soon as the handshake parser succeeds or
4777 fails (determining whether the client is using the
4778 expected protocol).
4779
4780 For HTTP clients, the handshake is the request line.
4781 For TLS clients, the handshake consists of all TLS
4782 records up to and including the TLS record that
4783 contains the last byte of the first ClientHello
4784 message. For clients using an unsupported protocol,
4785 this field contains the bytes received by Squid at the
4786 time of the handshake parsing failure.
4787
4788 See the on_unsupported_protocol directive for more
4789 information on Squid handshake traffic expectations.
4790
4791 Current support is limited to these contexts:
4792 - http_port connections, but only when the
4793 on_unsupported_protocol directive is in use.
4794 - https_port connections (and CONNECT tunnels) that
4795 are subject to the ssl_bump peek or stare action.
4796
4797 To protect binary handshake data, this field is always
4798 base64-encoded (RFC 4648 Section 4). If logformat
4799 field encoding is configured, that encoding is applied
4800 on top of base64. Otherwise, the computed base64 value
4801 is recorded as is.
4802
4803 Time related format codes:
4804
4805 ts Seconds since epoch
4806 tu subsecond time (milliseconds)
4807 tl Local time. Optional strftime format argument
4808 default %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
4809 tg GMT time. Optional strftime format argument
4810 default %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z
4811 tr Response time (milliseconds)
4812 dt Total time spent making DNS lookups (milliseconds)
4813 tS Approximate master transaction start time in
4814 <full seconds since epoch>.<fractional seconds> format.
4815 Currently, Squid considers the master transaction
4816 started when a complete HTTP request header initiating
4817 the transaction is received from the client. This is
4818 the same value that Squid uses to calculate transaction
4819 response time when logging %tr to access.log. Currently,
4820 Squid uses millisecond resolution for %tS values,
4821 similar to the default access.log "current time" field
4822 (%ts.%03tu).
4823
4824 busy_time Time spent in transaction-related code (nanoseconds)
4825 This cumulative measurement excludes periods of time when the
4826 transaction was waiting (e.g., for a server or helper response)
4827 while Squid worked on other transactions or was engaged in
4828 transaction-unrelated activities (e.g., generating a cache index).
4829 In other words, this measurement represents the total amount of
4830 physical time when Squid was busy working on this transaction.
4831
4832 WARNING: This measurement relies on Squid transaction context
4833 tracking features that currently have known context leak bugs and
4834 coverage gaps. Until those features are fully implemented, logged
4835 values may significantly understate or exaggerate actual times.
4836 Do not use this measurement unless you know it works in your case.

4843 ul User name from authentication
4844 ue User name from external acl helper
4845 un A user name. Expands to the first available name

4847 - authenticated user name, like %ul
4848 - user name supplied by an external ACL, like %ue
4849 - SSL client name, like %us
4850 credentials Client credentials. The exact meaning depends on
4851 the authentication scheme: For Basic authentication,
4852 it is the password; for Digest, the realm sent by the
4853 client; for NTLM and Negotiate, the client challenge
4854 or client credentials prefixed with "YR " or "KK ".

4952 TIMING
4953
4954 [http::]<pt Peer response time in milliseconds. The timer starts
4955 when the last request byte is sent to the next hop
4956 and stops when the last response byte is received.
4957 [http::]<tt Total time spent forwarding to origin servers or
4958 cache_peers (milliseconds).
4959
4960 The timer starts when Squid decides to forward the request (to
4961 an origin server or cache_peer) and peer selection begins. The
4962 timer stops when relevant forwarding activities (including any
4963 retries) end.
4964
4965 Between those two timer events, Squid may perform DNS lookups,
4966 query external ACL helpers, adapt responses using pre-cache
4967 RESPMOD services, and participate in other concurrent
4968 secondary activities. Most secondary activities increase
4969 peering time. In some cases, a secondary activity may start
4970 before the timer starts or end after the timer stops, leading
4971 to misleading results of simple computations like %<tt - %dt.
4972
4973 If this logformat %code is used before its timer starts, the
4974 corresponding measurement has no value (and the %code expands
4975 to a single dash ("-") character).
4976
4977 If this code is used while its timer is running, the time
4978 spent so far is used as the measurement value.
4979
4980 When Squid re-forwards the request (e.g., after certain cache
4981 revalidation failures), the timer may restart. In this case,
4982 the new measurement is added to the value accumulated from
4983 previous forwarding attempts. The time interval between
4984 forwarding attempts is not added to the final result.
4985
4986 Squid handling related format codes:
4987
4988 Ss Squid request status (TCP_MISS etc)
4989 Sh Squid hierarchy status (DEFAULT_PARENT etc)
4990
4991 [http::]request_attempts Number of request forwarding attempts
4992
4993 See forward_max_tries documentation that details what Squid counts
4994 as a forwarding attempt. Pure cache hits log zero, but cache hits
4995 that triggered HTTP cache revalidation log the number of attempts
4996 made when sending an internal revalidation request. DNS, ICMP,
4997 ICP, HTCP, ESI, ICAP, eCAP, helper, and other secondary requests
4998 sent by Squid as a part of a master transaction do not increment
4999 the counter logged for the received request.
5000
5001 SSL-related format codes:
5002
5003 ssl::bump_mode SslBump decision for the transaction:
5004
5005 For CONNECT requests that initiated bumping of
5006 a connection and for any request received on
5007 an already bumped connection, Squid logs the
5008 corresponding SslBump mode ("splice", "bump",
5009 "peek", "stare", "terminate", "server-first"
5010 or "client-first"). See the ssl_bump option
5011 for more information about these modes.
5012
5013 A "none" token is logged for requests that
5014 triggered "ssl_bump" ACL evaluation matching
5015 a "none" rule.
5016
5017 In all other cases, a single dash ("-") is
5018 logged.
5019
5020 ssl::>sni SSL client SNI sent to Squid.
5021
5022 ssl::>cert_subject
5023 The Subject field of the received client
5024 SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
5025 received an invalid/malformed certificate or
5026 no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
5027 logged value because Subject often has spaces.
5028
5029 ssl::>cert_issuer
5030 The Issuer field of the received client

5032 received an invalid/malformed certificate or
5033 no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
5034 logged value because Issuer often has spaces.
5035
5036 ssl::<cert_subject
5037 The Subject field of the received server
5038 TLS certificate or a dash ('-') if this is
5039 not available. Consider encoding the logged
5040 value because Subject often has spaces.
5041
5042 ssl::<cert_issuer
5043 The Issuer field of the received server
5044 TLS certificate or a dash ('-') if this is
5045 not available. Consider encoding the logged
5046 value because Issuer often has spaces.
5047
5048 ssl::<cert
5049 The received server x509 certificate in PEM
5050 format, including BEGIN and END lines (or a
5051 dash ('-') if the certificate is unavailable).
5052
5053 WARNING: Large certificates will exceed the
5054 current 8KB access.log record limit, resulting
5055 in truncated records. Such truncation usually
5056 happens in the middle of a record field. The
5057 limit applies to all access logging modules.
5058
5059 The logged certificate may have failed
5060 validation and may not be trusted by Squid.
5061 This field does not include any intermediate
5062 certificates that may have been received from
5063 the server or fetched during certificate
5064 validation process.
5065
5066 Currently, Squid only collects server
5067 certificates during step3 of SslBump
5068 processing; connections that were not subject
5069 to ssl_bump rules or that did not match a peek
5070 or stare rule at step2 will not have the
5071 server certificate information.
5072
5073 This field is using pass-through URL encoding
5074 by default.
5075
5076 ssl::<cert_errors
5077 The list of certificate validation errors
5078 detected by Squid (including OpenSSL and
5079 certificate validation helper components). The
5080 errors are listed in the discovery order. By
5081 default, the error codes are separated by ':'.
5082 Accepts an optional separator argument.
5083
5084 %ssl::>negotiated_version The negotiated TLS version of the

5107
5108 If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as
5109 well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
5110
5111 icap::tt Total ICAP "blocking" time for the HTTP transaction. The
5112 timer ticks while Squid checks adaptation_access and while
5113 ICAP transaction(s) expect ICAP response headers, including
5114 the embedded adapted HTTP message headers (where applicable).
5115 This measurement is meant to estimate ICAP impact on HTTP
5116 transaction response times, but it does not currently account
5117 for slow ICAP response body delivery blocking HTTP progress.
5118
5119 Once Squid receives the final ICAP response headers (e.g.,
5120 ICAP 200 or 204) and the associated adapted HTTP message
5121 headers (if any) from the ICAP service, the corresponding ICAP
5122 transaction stops affecting this measurement, even though the
5123 transaction itself may continue for a long time (e.g., to
5124 finish sending the ICAP request and/or to finish receiving the
5125 ICAP response body).
5126
5127 When "blocking" sections of multiple concurrent ICAP
5128 transactions overlap in time, the overlapping segment is
5129 counted only once.
5130
5131 To see complete ICAP transaction response times (rather than
5132 the cumulative effect of their blocking sections) use the
5133 %adapt::all_trs logformat code or the icap_log directive.
5134
5135 If adaptation is enabled the following codes become available:
5136
5137 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
5138 meta-information from the last eCAP
5139 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
5140 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
5141 argument.
5142
5143 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
5144 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
5145 the order of transaction start time. Each time
5146 value is recorded as an integer number,
5147 representing response time of one or more
5148 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
5149 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
5150 being retried or repeated, its time is not
5151 logged individually but added to the
5152 replacement (next) transaction. Lifetimes of individually
5153 listed adaptation transactions may overlap.
5154 See also: %icap::tt and %adapt::all_trs.
5155
5156 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
5157 Same as %adapt::sum_trs but response times of
5158 individual transactions are never added
5159 together. Instead, all transaction response
5160 times are recorded individually.
5161
5162 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
5163 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
5164 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs
5165
5166 Format codes related to the PROXY protocol:
5167
5168 proxy_protocol::>h PROXY protocol header, including optional TLVs.
5169
5170 Supports the same field and element reporting/extraction logic
5171 as %http::>h. For configuration and reporting purposes, Squid
5172 maps each PROXY TLV to an HTTP header field: the TLV type
5173 (configured as a decimal integer) is the field name, and the
5174 TLV value is the field value. All TLVs of "LOCAL" connections
5175 (in PROXY protocol terminology) are currently skipped/ignored.
5176
5177 Squid also maps the following standard PROXY protocol header
5178 blocks to pseudo HTTP headers (their names use PROXY
5179 terminology and start with a colon, following HTTP tradition
5180 for pseudo headers): :command, :version, :src_addr, :dst_addr,
5181 :src_port, and :dst_port.
5182
5183 Without optional parameters, this logformat code logs
5184 pseudo headers and TLVs.
5185
5186 This format code uses pass-through URL encoding by default.
5187
5188 Example:
5189 # relay custom PROXY TLV #224 to adaptation services
5190 adaptation_meta Client-Foo "%proxy_protocol::>h{224}"
5191
5192 See also: %http::>h
5193
5194 The default formats available (which do not need re-defining) are:
5195
5196logformat squid %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un %Sh/%<a %mt
5197logformat common %>a - %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st %Ss:%Sh
5198logformat combined %>a - %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st "%{Referer}>h" "%{User-Agent}>h" %Ss:%Sh
5199logformat referrer %ts.%03tu %>a %{Referer}>h %ru
5200logformat useragent %>a [%tl] "%{User-Agent}>h"
5201
5202 NOTE: When the log_mime_hdrs directive is set to ON.
5203 The squid, common and combined formats have a safely encoded copy
5204 of the mime headers appended to each line within a pair of brackets.
5205
5206 NOTE: The common and combined formats are not quite true to the Apache definition.
5207 The logs from Squid contain an extra status and hierarchy code appended.

5215DOC_START
5216 Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions.
5217 If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every
5218 matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are:
5219
5220 access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
5221 access_log none [acl acl ...]
5222
5223 The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated:
5224 access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
5225
5226 In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character
5227 and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always
5228 start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions.
5229
5230 Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which
5231 must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match
5232 ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses).
5233 If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination.
5234
5235 ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
5236
5237 logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or
5238 defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
5239 to 'squid'.
5240
5241 buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log
5242 records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not
5243 keep more than the specified size and, hence,
5244 should flush records before the buffer becomes
5245 full to avoid overflows under normal
5246 conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
5247 module-dependent though). The on-error option
5248 controls overflow handling.
5249
5250 on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
5251 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
5252 affected log records. The default 'die' action
5253 kills the affected worker. The drop action
5254 support has not been tested for modules other
5255 than tcp.
5256
5257 rotate=N Specifies the number of log file rotations to
5258 make when you run 'squid -k rotate'. The default
5259 is to obey the logfile_rotate directive. Setting
5260 rotate=0 will disable the file name rotation,
5261 but the log files are still closed and re-opened.
5262 This will enable you to rename the logfiles
5263 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
5264 Only supported by the stdio module.
5265
5266 ===== Modules Currently available =====
5267
5268 none Do not log any requests matching these ACL.
5269 Do not specify Place or logformat name.
5270
5271 stdio Write each log line to disk immediately at the completion of
5272 each request.
5273 Place: the filename and path to be written.
5274
5275 daemon Very similar to stdio. But instead of writing to disk the log
5276 line is passed to a daemon helper for asychronous handling instead.
5277 Place: varies depending on the daemon.
5278
5279 log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written.
5280
5281 syslog To log each request via syslog facility.
5282 Place: The syslog facility and priority level for these entries.
5283 Place Format: facility.priority
5284
5285 where facility could be any of:
5286 authpriv, daemon, local0 ... local7 or user.
5287
5288 And priority could be any of:
5289 err, warning, notice, info, debug.
5290
5291 udp To send each log line as text data to a UDP receiver.
5292 Place: The destination host name or IP and port.
5293 Place Format: //host:port
5294
5295 tcp To send each log line as text data to a TCP receiver.
5296 Lines may be accumulated before sending (see buffered_logs).
5297 Place: The destination host name or IP and port.

5310 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
5311 transaction.
5312
5313 The icap_log option format is:
5314 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
5315 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
5316
5317 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
5318 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
5319 features.
5320
5321 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
5322 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
5323 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
5324 log line.
5325
5326 ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context,
5327 HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded
5328 in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP
5329 messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used
5330 for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example:
5331
5332 http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to
5333 the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are
5334 HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP
5335 response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them
5336 (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD).
5337
5338 http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP
5339 service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular
5340 REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during
5341 request satisfaction in REQMOD).
5342
5343 ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages.
5344
5345 Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP
5346 message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message
5347 (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When
5348 computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid
5349 either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see
5350 code-specific documentation for details.
5351
5352 For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently
5353 computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not
5354 in use at all.
5355
5356 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
5357
5358 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
5359
5360 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
5361 option in Squid configuration file.
5362
5363 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
5364
5365 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
5366 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
5367
5368 icap::>st The total size of the ICAP request sent to the ICAP
5369 server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including chunking
5370 metadata (if any).
5371
5372 icap::<st The total size of the ICAP response received from the
5373 ICAP server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including
5374 chunking metadata (if any).
5375
5376 icap::<bs The size of the ICAP response body received from the
5377 ICAP server, excluding chunking metadata (if any).
5378
5379 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
5380 milliseconds). The timer starts when
5381 the ICAP transaction is created and
5382 stops when the transaction is completed.
5383 Similar to tr.
5384
5385 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
5386 timer starts when the first ICAP request
5387 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
5388 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
5389 is received.
5390
5391 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
5392 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
5393 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
5394 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
5395 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
5396 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
5397
5398 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
5399
5400 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
5401
5402 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
5403
5404 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
5405 definition, is called icap_squid:
5406
5407logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>A %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<st %icap::rm %icap::ru %un -/%icap::<A -

5476 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
5477 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
5478
5479 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
5480 a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
5481 with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
5482 lines when cache_swap_log is being used.

5508 disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed
5509 and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
5510 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

5512 Note, from Squid-3.1 this option is only a default for cache.log,
5513 that log can be rotated separately by using debug_options.

5519 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
5520 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
5521 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
5522 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

5577 By default, Squid strips query terms from requested URLs before
5578 logging. This protects your user's privacy and reduces log size.

5592 performance because it decreases the number of I/Os. However,
5593 buffering increases the delay before log records become available to
5594 the final recipient (e.g., a disk file or logging daemon) and,
5595 hence, increases the risk of log records loss.
5596
5597 Note that even when buffered_logs are off, Squid may have to buffer

5622 Configures whether and where Squid records pre-master secret and
5623 related encryption details for TLS connections accepted or established
5624 by Squid. These connections include connections accepted at
5625 https_port, TLS connections opened to origin servers/cache_peers/ICAP
5626 services, and TLS tunnels bumped by Squid using the SslBump feature.
5627 This log (a.k.a. SSLKEYLOGFILE) is meant for triage with traffic

5632 WARNING: This log allows anybody to decrypt the corresponding
5633 encrypted TLS connections, both in-flight and postmortem.
5634
5635 At most one log file is supported at this time. Repeated tls_key_log
5636 directives are treated as fatal configuration errors. By default, no
5637 log is created or updated.
5638
5639 If the log file does not exist, Squid creates it. Otherwise, Squid
5640 appends an existing log file.
5641
5642 The directive is consulted whenever a TLS connection is accepted or
5643 established by Squid. TLS connections that fail the handshake may be
5644 logged if Squid got enough information to form a log record. A record
5645 is logged only if all of the configured ACLs match.
5646
5647 While transport-related ACLs like src and dst should work, Squid may
5648 not have access to higher-level information. For example, when logging
5649 accepted https_port connections, Squid does not yet have access to the
5650 expected HTTPS request. Similarly, an HTTPS response is not available
5651 when logging most TLS connections established by Squid.
5652
5653 The log record format is meant to be compatible with TLS deciphering
5654 features of Wireshark which relies on fields like CLIENT_RANDOM and
5655 RSA Master-Key. A single log record usually spans multiple lines.
5656 Technical documentation for that format is maintained inside the
5657 Wireshark code (e.g., see tls_keylog_process_lines() comments as of
5658 Wireshark commit e3d44136f0f0026c5e893fa249f458073f3b7328). TLS key
5659 log does not support custom record formats.

5703 yet. For the list of instrumented messages and their IDs, please see
5704 the doc/debug-messages.txt file.
5705
5706 Message ID corresponds to the message semantics rather than message
5707 text or source code location. The ID is stable across Squid
5708 instances and versions. Substantial changes in message semantics
5709 result in a new ID assignment. To reduce the danger of suppressing
5710 an important log message, the old IDs of removed (or substantially
5711 changed) messages are never reused.
5712
5713 If more than one cache_log_message directive refers to the same
5714 message ID, the last directive wins.
5715
5716 Use ids=min-max syntax to apply the same message configuration to an
5717 inclusive range of message IDs. An ID range with N values has
5718 exactly the same effect as typing N cache_log_message lines.
5719
5720 At least one option is required. Supported options are:
5721
5722 level=<number>: The logging level to use for the message. Squid
5723 command line options (-s and -d) as well as the debug_options
5724 directive control which levels go to syslog, stderr, and/or
5725 cache.log. In most environments, using level=2 or higher stops
5726 Squid from logging the message anywhere. By default, the
5727 hard-coded message-specific level is used.
5728
5729 limit=<number>: After logging the specified number of messages at
5730 the configured (or default) debugging level DL, start using
5731 level 3 (for DL 0 and 1) or 8 (for higher DL values). Usually,
5732 level-3+ messages are not logged anywhere so this option can
5733 often be used to effectively suppress the message. Each SMP

5972 This helper is consulted after the received request is cleared by
5973 http_access and adapted using eICAP/ICAP services (if any). If the
5974 helper does not redirect the client, Squid checks adapted_http_access
5975 and may consult the cache or forward the request to the next hop.
5976
5977
5978 For each request, the helper gets one line in the following format:
5979
5980 [channel-ID <SP>] request-URL [<SP> extras] <NL>
5981
5982 Use url_rewrite_extras to configure what Squid sends as 'extras'.
5983

5986
5987 [channel-ID <SP>] result [<SP> kv-pairs] <NL>
5988
5989 The result section must match exactly one of the following outcomes:
5990
5991 OK [status=30N] url="..."
5992
5993 Redirect the client to a URL supplied in the 'url' parameter.
5994 Optional 'status' specifies the status code to send to the
5995 client in Squid's HTTP redirect response. It must be one of
5996 the standard HTTP redirect status codes: 301, 302, 303, 307,
5997 or 308. When no specific status is requested, Squid uses 302.
5998
5999 OK rewrite-url="..."
6000
6001 Replace the current request URL with the one supplied in the
6002 'rewrite-url' parameter. Squid fetches the resource specified
6003 by the new URL and forwards the received response (or its
6004 cached copy) to the client.
6005
6006 WARNING: Avoid rewriting URLs! When possible, redirect the
6007 client using an "OK url=..." helper response instead.
6008 Rewriting URLs may create inconsistent requests and/or break
6009 synchronization between internal client and origin server
6010 states, especially when URLs or other message parts contain
6011 snippets of that state. For example, Squid does not adjust
6012 Location headers and embedded URLs after the helper rewrites
6013 the request URL.

6023 via a level-1 cache.log message. The 'message' parameter is
6024 reserved for specifying the log message.

6026 In addition to the kv-pairs mentioned above, Squid also understands
6027 the following optional kv-pairs in URL rewriter responses:
6028
6029 clt_conn_tag=TAG
6030 Associates a TAG with the client TCP connection.
6031
6032 The clt_conn_tag=TAG pair is treated as a regular transaction
6033 annotation for the current request and also annotates future
6034 requests on the same client connection. A helper may update
6035 the TAG during subsequent requests by returning a new kv-pair.
6036
6037
6038 Helper messages contain the channel-ID part if and only if the
6039 url_rewrite_children directive specifies positive concurrency. As a
6040 channel-ID value, Squid sends a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
6041 The helper must echo back the received channel-ID in its response.

6063 Sets a minimum of how many processes are to be spawned when Squid
6064 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
6065 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
6066
6067 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
6068 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.
6069
6070 idle=
6071
6072 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
6073 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing
6074 processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum
6075 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.
6076
6077 concurrency=
6078
6079 The number of requests each redirector helper can handle in
6080 parallel. Defaults to 0 which indicates the redirector
6081 is a old-style single threaded redirector.
6082
6083 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
6084 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
6085 an ID in front of the request/response. The ID from the request
6086 must be echoed back with the response to that request.
6087
6088 queue-size=N
6089
6090 Sets the maximum number of queued requests. A request is queued when
6091 no existing child can accept it due to concurrency limit and no new
6092 child can be started due to numberofchildren limit. The default
6093 maximum is zero if url_rewrite_bypass is enabled and
6094 2*numberofchildren otherwise. If the queued requests exceed queue size
6095 and redirector_bypass configuration option is set, then redirector is
6096 bypassed. Otherwise, Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the
6097 configured maximum, marking the affected helper as "overloaded". If
6098 the helper overload lasts more than 3 minutes, the action prescribed
6099 by the on-persistent-overload option applies.

6104 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number of queued

6215 Specify the location of the executable StoreID helper to use.
6216 Since they can perform almost any function there isn't one included.
6217
6218 For each requested URL, the helper will receive one line with the format
6219
6220 [channel-ID <SP>] URL [<SP> extras]<NL>
6221
6222
6223 After processing the request the helper must reply using the following format:
6224
6225 [channel-ID <SP>] result [<SP> kv-pairs]
6226
6227 The result code can be:
6228
6229 OK store-id="..."
6230 Use the StoreID supplied in 'store-id='.
6231
6232 ERR
6233 The default is to use HTTP request URL as the store ID.
6234
6235 BH
6236 An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing
6237 a result being identified.
6238
6239 In addition to the above kv-pairs Squid also understands the following
6240 optional kv-pairs received from URL rewriters:
6241 clt_conn_tag=TAG
6242 Associates a TAG with the client TCP connection.
6243 Please see url_rewrite_program related documentation for this
6244 kv-pair
6245
6246 Helper programs should be prepared to receive and possibly ignore
6247 additional whitespace-separated tokens on each input line.
6248
6249 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
6250 introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response.
6251 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
6252 This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part
6253 of the response relating to its request.
6254
6255 NOTE: when using StoreID refresh_pattern will apply to the StoreID
6256 returned from the helper and not the URL.

6280DOC_START
6281 Specifies the maximum number of StoreID helper processes that Squid
6282 may spawn (numberofchildren) and several related options. Using
6283 too few of these helper processes (a.k.a. "helpers") creates request
6284 queues. Using too many helpers wastes your system resources.
6285
6286 Usage: numberofchildren [option]...
6287
6288 The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your
6289 tuning.
6290
6291 startup=
6292
6293 Sets a minimum of how many processes are to be spawned when Squid
6294 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
6295 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
6296
6297 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
6298 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.
6299
6300 idle=
6301
6302 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
6303 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing
6304 processes can handle this many more will be spawned up to the maximum
6305 configured. A minimum setting of 1 is required.
6306
6307 concurrency=
6308
6309 The number of requests each storeID helper can handle in
6310 parallel. Defaults to 0 which indicates the helper
6311 is a old-style single threaded program.
6312
6313 When this directive is set to a value >= 1 then the protocol
6314 used to communicate with the helper is modified to include
6315 an ID in front of the request/response. The ID from the request
6316 must be echoed back with the response to that request.
6317
6318 queue-size=N
6319
6320 Sets the maximum number of queued requests to N. A request is queued
6321 when no existing child can accept it due to concurrency limit and no
6322 new child can be started due to numberofchildren limit. The default
6323 maximum is 2*numberofchildren. If the queued requests exceed queue
6324 size and redirector_bypass configuration option is set, then
6325 redirector is bypassed. Otherwise, Squid is allowed to temporarily
6326 exceed the configured maximum, marking the affected helper as
6327 "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts more than 3 minutes, the
6328 action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload option applies.
6329
6330 on-persistent-overload=action
6331
6332 Specifies Squid reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper
6333 has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number of queued
6334 requests determines whether the helper is overloaded (see the queue-size
6335 option).
6336
6337 Two actions are supported:
6338
6339 die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior.
6340
6341 ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was
6342 immediately submitted, and the helper immediately
6343 replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect
6344 on the already queued and in-progress helper requests.

6495
6496 By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make

6498
6499 'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit
6500 expiry time should be considered fresh. The recommended
6501 value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
6502 to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
6503 has taken the appropriate actions.
6504
6505 'Percent' is used to compute the max-age value for responses
6506 with a Last-Modified header and no Cache-Control:max-age nor Expires.
6507 Cache-Control:max-age = ( Date - Last-Modified ) * percent
6508
6509 'Max' is an upper limit on how long objects without an explicit
6510 expiry time will be considered fresh. The value is also used
6511 to form Cache-Control: max-age header for a request sent from
6512 Squid to origin/parent.

6525 sent an explicit expiry time (e.g., with the
6526 Expires: header or Cache-Control: max-age). Doing this
6527 VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature
6528 could make you liable for problems which it causes.
6529
6530 Note: override-expire does not enforce staleness - it only extends
6531 freshness / min. If the server returns a Expires time which
6532 is longer than your max time, Squid will still consider
6533 the object fresh for that period of time.
6534
6535 override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
6536 that were modified recently.
6537
6538 reload-into-ims changes a client no-cache or ``reload''
6539 request for a cached entry into a conditional request using
6540 If-Modified-Since and/or If-None-Match headers, provided the
6541 cached entry has a Last-Modified and/or a strong ETag header.
6542 Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature
6543 could make you liable for problems which it causes.
6544
6545 ignore-reload ignores a client no-cache or ``reload''
6546 header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
6547 this feature could make you liable for problems which
6548 it causes.
6549
6550 ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
6551 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
6552 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
6553 liable for problems which it causes.
6554
6555 ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
6556 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
6557 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
6558 liable for problems which it causes.
6559
6560 refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
6561 when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
6562 ensures that the client will receive an updated version
6563 if one is available.
6564
6565 store-stale stores responses even if they don't have explicit
6566 freshness or a validator (i.e., Last-Modified or an ETag)
6567 present, or if they're already stale. By default, Squid will
6568 not cache such responses because they usually can't be
6569 reused. Note that such responses will be stale by default.
6570
6571 max-stale=NN provide a maximum staleness factor. Squid won't
6572 serve objects more stale than this even if it failed to
6573 validate the object. Default: use the max_stale global limit.
6574
6575 Basically a cached object is:
6576
6577 FRESH if expire > now, else STALE
6578 STALE if age > max
6579 FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
6580 FRESH if age < min
6581 else STALE
6582
6583 The refresh_pattern lines are checked in the order listed here.
6584 The first entry which matches is used. If none of the entries
6585 match the default will be used.

6712 Sets an upper limit on how far (number of bytes) into the file
6713 a Range request may be to cause Squid to prefetch the whole file.
6714 If beyond this limit, Squid forwards the Range request as it is and
6715 the result is NOT cached.
6716
6717 This is to stop a far ahead range request (lets say start at 17MB)
6718 from making Squid fetch the whole object up to that point before
6719 sending anything to the client.
6720
6721 Multiple range_offset_limit lines may be specified, and they will
6722 be searched from top to bottom on each request until a match is found.
6723 The first match found will be used. If no line matches a request, the
6724 default limit of 0 bytes will be used.
6725
6726 'size' is the limit specified as a number of units.
6727
6728 'units' specifies whether to use bytes, KB, MB, etc.
6729 If no units are specified bytes are assumed.
6730
6731 A size of 0 causes Squid to never fetch more than the
6732 client requested. (default)
6733
6734 A size of 'none' causes Squid to always fetch the object from the
6735 beginning so it may cache the result. (2.0 style)
6736
6737 'aclname' is the name of a defined ACL.
6738
6739 NP: Using 'none' as the byte value here will override any quick_abort settings
6740 that may otherwise apply to the range request. The range request will
6741 be fully fetched from start to finish regardless of the client
6742 actions. This affects bandwidth usage.

6934 WARNING: Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
6935 this feature could make you liable for problems which it
6936 causes.
6937
6938 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
6939 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
6940 more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
6941 removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
6942
6943 This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
6944 headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
6945 or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
6946 detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
6947 terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
6948
6949 The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
6950 fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
6951 qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
6952
6953 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
6954 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
6955 on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
6956 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
6957
6958 Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
6959 If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
6960 go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
6961 removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
6962 if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
6963 set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.
6964
6965 For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old
6966 'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:
6967
6968 request_header_access From deny all
6969 request_header_access Referer deny all
6970 request_header_access User-Agent deny all
6971
6972 Or, to reproduce the old 'http_anonymizer paranoid' feature

7197 This option controls whether Squid is allowed to merge multiple

7199 whether the response is going to be cachable.
7200
7201 When enabled, instead of forwarding each concurrent request for
7202 the same URL, Squid just sends the first of them. The other, so
7203 called "collapsed" requests, wait for the response to the first
7204 request and, if it happens to be cachable, use that response.
7205 Here, "concurrent requests" means "received after the first
7206 request headers were parsed and before the corresponding response
7207 headers were parsed".
7208
7209 This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed
7210 forwarding needlessly delays forwarding requests that look
7211 cachable (when they are collapsed) but then need to be forwarded
7212 individually anyway because they end up being for uncachable
7213 content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly
7214 cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the
7215 gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh
7216 requests] outweigh losses from such delays.
7217
7218 Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests
7219 received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache
7220 revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular
7221 requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing
7222 is currently disabled for Squid instances containing SMP-aware

7259LOC: Config.shared_transient_entries_limit
7260DEFAULT: 16384
7261DOC_START
7262 This directive limits the size of a table used for sharing current
7263 transaction information among SMP workers. A table entry stores meta
7264 information about a single cache entry being delivered to Squid
7265 client(s) by one or more SMP workers. A single table entry consumes
7266 less than 128 shared memory bytes.
7267
7268 The limit should be significantly larger than the number of
7269 concurrent non-collapsed cachable responses leaving Squid. For a
7270 cache that handles less than 5000 concurrent requests, the default
7271 setting of 16384 should be plenty.
7272
7273 Using excessively large values wastes shared memory. Limiting the
7274 table size too much results in hash collisions, leading to lower hit
7275 ratio and missed SMP request collapsing opportunities: Transactions
7276 left without a table entry cannot cache their responses and are
7277 invisible to other concurrent requests for the same resource.
7278
7279 A zero limit is allowed but unsupported. A positive small limit
7280 lowers hit ratio, but zero limit disables a lot of essential
7281 synchronization among SMP workers, leading to HTTP violations (e.g.,
7282 stale hit responses). It also disables shared collapsed forwarding:
7283 A worker becomes unable to collapse its requests on transactions in
7284 other workers, resulting in more trips to the origin server and more
7285 cache thrashing.

7400 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
7401 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
7402 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
7403 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
7404 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
7405 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
7406 day, 1440 minutes.
7407
7408 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
7409 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
7410 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
7411 If you seem to have many client connections tying up
7412 filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,

7422 Desired maximum lifetime of a persistent connection.
7423 When set, Squid will close a now-idle persistent connection that
7424 exceeded configured lifetime instead of moving the connection into
7425 the idle connection pool (or equivalent). No effect on ongoing/active
7426 transactions. Connection lifetime is the time period from the
7427 connection acceptance or opening time until "now".
7428
7429 This limit is useful in environments with long-lived connections
7430 where Squid configuration or environmental factors change during a
7431 single connection lifetime. If unrestricted, some connections may
7432 last for hours and even days, ignoring those changes that should
7433 have affected their behavior or their existence.
7434
7435 Currently, a new lifetime value supplied via Squid reconfiguration
7436 has no effect on already idle connections unless they become busy.

7449 fully-closed TCP connection.
7450
7451 By default, Squid will immediately close client connections when
7452 read(2) returns "no more data to read."
7453
7454 Change this option to 'on' and Squid will keep open connections
7455 until a read(2) or write(2) on the socket returns an error.
7456 This may show some benefits for reverse proxies. But if not

7693 The delay pool classes are:
7694
7695 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
7696 bucket.
7697
7698 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
7699 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
7700 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.

7702 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
7703 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
7704 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
7705 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
7706 32 of the IPv4 address.

7708 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
7709 additional limit on a per user basis. This
7710 only takes effect if the username is established
7711 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
7712 http_access rules.
7713
7714 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
7715 external_acl's tag= reply).
7716
7717
7718 Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
7719 and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
7720 a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
7721
7722 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
7723 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
7724 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
7725 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

7772
7773 For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
7774 delay_class pool 1
7775 delay_parameters pool aggregate
7776
7777 For a class 2 delay pool:

7782 delay_class pool 3
7783 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
7784
7785 For a class 4 delay pool:
7786 delay_class pool 4
7787 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
7788
7789 For a class 5 delay pool:
7790 delay_class pool 5
7791 delay_parameters pool tagrate
7792
7793 The option variables are:
7794
7795 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
7796 number specified in delay_pools as used in
7797 delay_class lines.
7798
7799 aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket
7800 (class 1, 2, 3).
7801
7802 individual the speed limit parameters for the individual
7803 buckets (class 2, 3).
7804
7805 network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets
7806 (class 3).
7807
7808 user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets
7809 (class 4).
7810
7811 tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets
7812 (class 5).
7813
7814 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
7815 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
7816 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
7817 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
7818
7819 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
7820
7821
7822 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
7823 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec
7824 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
7825
7826 delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000
7827
7828 Note that 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec.
7829
7830 Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit.
7831
7832
7833 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above

8172 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
8173 using the wccp2_service_info option.

8175 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,

8905
8906 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
8907 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
8908 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
8909 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
8910
8911 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
8912 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
8913 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
8914 the first authentication related acl encountered
8915 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
8916 acl processed on the last http_access line.
8917 - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service,
8918 the acl name is the corresponding eCAP or ICAP service_name.
8919
8920 NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
8921 you may also specify them by your custom file name:
8922 Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys
8923
8924 By default Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx
8925 may be specified by prefixing the file name with the code and a colon.
8926 e.g. 404:ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED
8927
8928 Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection
8929 by specifying TCP_RESET.
8930
8931 Or you can specify an error URL or URL pattern. The browsers will
8932 get redirected to the specified URL after formatting tags have
8933 been replaced. Redirect will be done with 302 or 307 according to
8934 HTTP/1.1 specs. A different 3xx code may be specified by prefixing
8935 the URL. e.g. 303:http://example.com/

8996 By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
8997 can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
8998 fails.
8999
9000 Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see
9001 the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid
9002 acts on cacheable requests.

9009LOC: Config.onoff.cache_miss_revalidate
9010DOC_START
9011 RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent
9012 response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network.
9013 If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs
9014 it can prevent new cache entries being created.
9015
9016 This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the
9017 client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new
9018 content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly
9019 empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating
9020 non-conditional GETs.
9021
9022 When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers
9023 to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable
9024 payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created.
9025
9026 When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will
9027 remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from
9028 the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response
9029 from the server to create a new cache entry with.

9038 Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
9039
9040 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
9041 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
9042 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
9043 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
9044 something like:
9045
9046 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
9047 always_direct allow local-servers
9048
9049 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
9050
9051 acl FTP proto FTP
9052 always_direct allow FTP
9053
9054 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
9055 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
9056 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
9057 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
9058 some other rule. Example:
9059
9060 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
9061 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
9062 always_direct deny local-external
9063 always_direct allow local-servers
9064
9065 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
9066 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
9067 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
9068 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
9069
9070 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
9071 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
9072 the replies see the 'cache' directive.
9073
9074 This clause supports both fast and slow acl types.

9086 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
9087 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
9088
9089 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
9090 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
9091 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
9092 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
9093
9094 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
9095 never_direct deny local-servers
9096 never_direct allow all
9097
9098 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
9099 servers inside the firewall use something like:
9100
9101 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
9102 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
9103 always_direct deny local-external
9104 always_direct allow local-intranet

9469 an opaque identifier or name which is used to direct traffic to

9471 services in squid.conf.
9472
9473 vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache
9474 This specifies at which point of transaction processing the
9475 ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
9476 are not yet supported.
9477
9478 uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath
9479 ICAP server and service location.
9480 icaps://servername:port/servicepath
9481 The "icap:" URI scheme is used for traditional ICAP server and
9482 service location (default port is 1344, connections are not
9483 encrypted). The "icaps:" URI scheme is for Secure ICAP
9484 services that use SSL/TLS-encrypted ICAP connections (by
9485 default, on port 11344).
9486
9487 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
9488 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
9489 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
9490 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
9491 service_names differ.
9492
9493 To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group
9494 services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set.
9495
9496 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
9497 the following name=value options:
9498
9499 bypass=on|off|1|0
9500 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
9501 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
9502 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
9503 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
9504 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
9505 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
9506 returned to the HTTP client.
9507
9508 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
9509
9510 routing=on|off|1|0
9511 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
9512 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
9513 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
9514 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
9515 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
9516 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
9517 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
9518 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.
9519
9520 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
9521 vectoring points in their natural processing order.
9522
9523 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
9524 response header is ignored.
9525
9526 ipv6=on|off
9527 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
9528 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
9529 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.
9530
9531 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
9532 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
9533 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
9534 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
9535 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
9536 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
9537 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
9538
9539 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
9540 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
9541 workers may use a given service.
9542
9543 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
9544 otherwise it is set to "wait".
9545
9546
9547 max-conn=number
9548 Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless
9549 of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any.
9550
9551 connection-encryption=on|off
9552 Determines the ICAP service effect on the connections_encrypted
9553 ACL.
9554

9570 tls-key=/path/to/ssl/key
9571 The private key corresponding to the previous
9572 tls-cert= option.
9573
9574 If tls-key= is not specified tls-cert= is assumed to
9575 reference a PEM file containing both the certificate
9576 and private key.
9577
9578 tls-cipher=... The list of valid TLS/SSL ciphers to use when connecting
9579 to this icap server.
9580
9581 tls-min-version=1.N
9582 The minimum TLS protocol version to permit. To control
9583 SSLv3 use the tls-options= parameter.
9584 Supported Values: 1.0 (default), 1.1, 1.2
9585
9586 tls-options=... Specify various OpenSSL library options:
9587
9588 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
9589
9590 SINGLE_DH_USE
9591 Always create a new key when using
9592 temporary/ephemeral DH key exchanges
9593
9594 ALL Enable various bug workarounds
9595 suggested as "harmless" by OpenSSL
9596 Be warned that this reduces SSL/TLS
9597 strength to some attacks.
9598
9599 See the OpenSSL SSL_CTX_set_options documentation for a
9600 more complete list. Options relevant only to SSLv2 are
9601 not supported.
9602
9603 tls-cafile= PEM file containing CA certificates to use when verifying
9604 the icap server certificate.
9605 Use to specify intermediate CA certificate(s) if not sent
9606 by the server. Or the full CA chain for the server when
9607 using the tls-default-ca=off flag.
9608 May be repeated to load multiple files.
9609
9610 tls-capath=... A directory containing additional CA certificates to
9611 use when verifying the icap server certificate.
9612 Requires OpenSSL or LibreSSL.
9613
9614 tls-crlfile=... A certificate revocation list file to use when
9615 verifying the icap server certificate.
9616
9617 tls-flags=... Specify various flags modifying the Squid TLS implementation:
9618
9619 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
9620 Accept certificates even if they fail to
9621 verify.
9622 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
9623 Don't verify the icap server certificate
9624 matches the server name
9625
9626 tls-default-ca[=off]
9627 Whether to use the system Trusted CAs. Default is ON.
9628
9629 tls-domain= The icap server name as advertised in it's certificate.
9630 Used for verifying the correctness of the received icap
9631 server certificate. If not specified the icap server
9632 hostname extracted from ICAP URI will be used.
9633
9634 Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is
9635 deprecated but supported for backward compatibility.

9701 are not yet supported.
9702
9703 uri: ecap://vendor/service_name?custom&cgi=style&parameters=optional
9704 Squid uses the eCAP service URI to match this configuration
9705 line with one of the dynamically loaded services. Each loaded
9706 eCAP service must have a unique URI. Obtain the right URI from
9707 the service provider.
9708
9709 To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group
9710 services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set.

9712 Service options are separated by white space. eCAP services support
9713 the following name=value options:

9715 bypass=on|off|1|0
9716 If set to 'on' or '1', the eCAP service is treated as optional.
9717 If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions, Squid will try
9718 to ignore any errors and process the message as if the service
9719 was not enabled. No all eCAP errors can be bypassed.
9720 If set to 'off' or '0', the eCAP service is treated as essential

9782
9783 The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first

9785 applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the
9786 previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
9787 intact.
9788
9789 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
9790 not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service.
9791
9792 The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
9793 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
9794
9795 If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
9796 bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
9797 transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
9798 another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
9799 transaction fails as well.
9800
9801 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
9802 is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
9803 ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.

9830 the previous service in the chain.
9831
9832 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
9833 not a part of the chain. A broken service is a down optional service.
9834
9835 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
9836 does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
9837 "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).
9838
9839 The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
9840 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
9841
9842 A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
9843 essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
9844 other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
9845 is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

9916DOC_START
9917 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
9918 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
9919 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
9920 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
9921 with the master transaction.
9922
9923 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
9924 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
9925
9926 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
9927 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
9928 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
9929
9930 An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
9931 shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API
9932 to provide an option with a name specified in
9933 adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
9934
9935 Squid will store and forward the set entry to subsequent adaptation
9936 transactions within the same master transaction scope.
9937
9938 Only one shared entry name is supported at this time.

9951 This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request
9952 headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions.
9953 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
9954 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
9955
9956 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
9957 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
9958
9959 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
9960 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
9961 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
9962 example:
9963
9964 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
9965 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
9966
9967 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret
9968 adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret
9969
9970 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
9971 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
9972
9973 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
9974 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
9975 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes
9976 and double quotes. For example,
9977 "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\""
9978
9979 Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note
9980 logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name
9981 are used during master transaction lifetime, the header values are
9982 logged in the order they were used and duplicate values are ignored
9983 (only the first repeated value will be logged).

10078 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
10079 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
10080 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
10081
10082 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
10083 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
10084 necessary.

10086 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
10087 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
10088 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
10089 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram

10117 This enables local servers and devices to be contacted in an
10118 ad-hoc or zero-configuration network environment.

10272 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
10273 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
10274 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
10275 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
10276 configuration will use less memory.
10277
10278 If set to none, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there

10650 This option controls how Squid handles data upload requests from HTTP
10651 and FTP agents that require a "Please Continue" control message response
10652 to actually send the request body to Squid. It is mostly useful in
10653 adaptation environments.
10654
10655 When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue"
10656 header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the
10657 request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or
10658 peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some
10659 broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may
10660 decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However,
10661 that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not
10662 responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message
10663 to the request sender yet!
10664
10665 An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150
10666 (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the
10667 request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces
10668 the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells
10669 Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms
10670 that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior.

10677DEFAULT_DOC: Upgrade header dropped, effectively blocking an upgrade attempt.
10678DOC_START
10679 Controls client-initiated and server-confirmed switching from HTTP to
10680 another protocol (or to several protocols) using HTTP Upgrade mechanism
10681 defined in RFC 7230 Section 6.7. Squid itself does not understand the
10682 protocols being upgraded to and participates in the upgraded
10683 communication only as a dumb TCP proxy. Admins should not allow
10684 upgrading to protocols that require a more meaningful proxy
10685 participation.
10686
10687 Usage: http_upgrade_request_protocols <protocol> allow|deny [!]acl ...
10688
10689 The required "protocol" parameter is either an all-caps word OTHER or an
10690 explicit protocol name (e.g. "WebSocket") optionally followed by a slash
10691 and a version token (e.g. "HTTP/3"). Explicit protocol names and
10692 versions are case sensitive.
10693
10694 When an HTTP client sends an Upgrade request header, Squid iterates over
10695 the client-offered protocols and, for each protocol P (with an optional
10696 version V), evaluates the first non-empty set of
10697 http_upgrade_request_protocols rules (if any) from the following list:
10698
10699 * All rules with an explicit protocol name equal to P.
10700 * All rules that use OTHER instead of a protocol name.
10701
10702 In other words, rules using OTHER are considered for protocol P if and
10703 only if there are no rules mentioning P by name.
10704
10705 If both of the above sets are empty, then Squid removes protocol P from
10706 the Upgrade offer.
10707
10708 If the client sent a versioned protocol offer P/X, then explicit rules
10709 referring to the same-name but different-version protocol P/Y are
10710 declared inapplicable. Inapplicable rules are not evaluated (i.e. are
10711 ignored). However, inapplicable rules still belong to the first set of
10712 rules for P.
10713
10714 Within the applicable rule subset, individual rules are evaluated in
10715 their configuration order. If all ACLs of an applicable "allow" rule
10716 match, then the protocol offered by the client is forwarded to the next
10717 hop as is. If all ACLs of an applicable "deny" rule match, then the
10718 offer is dropped. If no applicable rules have matching ACLs, then the
10719 offer is also dropped. The first matching rule also ends rules
10720 evaluation for the offered protocol.
10721
10722 If all client-offered protocols are removed, then Squid forwards the
10723 client request without the Upgrade header. Squid never sends an empty
10724 Upgrade request header.
10725
10726 An Upgrade request header with a value violating HTTP syntax is dropped
10727 and ignored without an attempt to use extractable individual protocol
10728 offers.
10729
10730 Upon receiving an HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols) control message, Squid
10731 checks that the server listed at least one protocol name and sent a
10732 Connection:upgrade response header. Squid does not understand individual
10733 protocol naming and versioning concepts enough to implement stricter
10734 checks, but an admin can restrict HTTP 101 (Switching Protocols)
10735 responses further using http_reply_access. Responses denied by
10736 http_reply_access rules and responses flagged by the internal Upgrade
10737 checks result in HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway) ERR_INVALID_RESP errors and
10738 Squid-to-server connection closures.
10739
10740 If Squid sends an Upgrade request header, and the next hop (e.g., the
10741 origin server) responds with an acceptable HTTP 101 (Switching
10742 Protocols), then Squid forwards that message to the client and becomes
10743 a TCP tunnel.
10744
10745 The presence of an Upgrade request header alone does not preclude cache
10746 lookups. In other words, an Upgrade request might be satisfied from the
10747 cache, using regular HTTP caching rules.

10773DEFAULT_DOC: Open new connections for forwarding requests Squid cannot retry safely.
10774LOC: Config.accessList.serverPconnForNonretriable
10775DOC_START
10776 This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection
10777 reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful
10778 in environments where opening new connections is very expensive
10779 (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server
10780 certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent
10781 connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems.
10782
10783 HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST).
10784 Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT).
10785 By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new
10786 connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent
10787 connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable
10788 request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes
10789 the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response
10790 from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway)
10791 with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail.
10792
10793 If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection
10794 (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then
10795 Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry.
10796
10797 This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle
10798 persistent connections (if any).

10812LOC: Config.happyEyeballs.connect_timeout
10813DOC_START
10814 This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the minimum
10815 delay between opening a primary to-server connection and opening a
10816 spare to-server connection for the same master transaction. This delay
10817 is similar to the Connection Attempt Delay in RFC 8305, but it is only
10818 applied to the first spare connection attempt. Subsequent spare
10819 connection attempts use happy_eyeballs_connect_gap, and primary
10820 connection attempts are not artificially delayed at all.
10821
10822 Terminology: The "primary" and "spare" designations are determined by
10823 the order of DNS answers received by Squid: If Squid DNS AAAA query
10824 was answered first, then primary connections are connections to IPv6
10825 peer addresses (while spare connections use IPv4 addresses).
10826 Similarly, if Squid DNS A query was answered first, then primary
10827 connections are connections to IPv4 peer addresses (while spare
10828 connections use IPv6 addresses).
10829
10830 Shorter happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values reduce master
10831 transaction response time, potentially improving user-perceived
10832 response times (i.e., making user eyeballs happier). Longer delays
10833 reduce both concurrent connection level and server bombardment with
10834 connection requests, potentially improving overall Squid performance
10835 and reducing the chance of being blocked by servers for opening too
10836 many unused connections.
10837
10838 RFC 8305 prohibits happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout values smaller than
10839 10 (milliseconds) to "avoid congestion collapse in the presence of
10840 high packet-loss rates".
10841
10842 The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection
10843 opening restrictions: happy_eyeballs_connect_gap and
10844 happy_eyeballs_connect_limit.

10852LOC: Config.happyEyeballs.connect_gap
10853DOC_START
10854 This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the
10855 minimum delay between opening spare to-server connections (to any
10856 server; i.e. across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid
10857 instance). Each SMP worker currently multiplies the configured gap
10858 by the total number of workers so that the combined spare connection
10859 opening rate of a Squid instance obeys the configured limit. The
10860 workers do not coordinate connection openings yet; a micro burst
10861 of spare connection openings may violate the configured gap.
10862
10863 This directive has similar trade-offs as
10864 happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout, but its focus is on limiting traffic
10865 amplification effects for Squid as a whole, while
10866 happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout works on an individual master
10867 transaction level.
10868
10869 The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection
10870 opening restrictions: happy_eyeballs_connect_timeout and

10878LOC: Config.happyEyeballs.connect_limit
10879DOC_START
10880 This Happy Eyeballs (RFC 8305) tuning directive specifies the
10881 maximum number of spare to-server connections (to any server; i.e.
10882 across all concurrent master transactions in a Squid instance).
10883 Each SMP worker gets an equal share of the total limit. However,
10884 the workers do not share the actual connection counts yet, so one
10885 (busier) worker cannot "borrow" spare connection slots from another
10886 (less loaded) worker.
10887
10888 Setting this limit to zero disables concurrent use of primary and
10889 spare TCP connections: Spare connection attempts are made only after
10890 all primary attempts fail. However, Squid would still use the
10891 DNS-related optimizations of the Happy Eyeballs approach.
10892
10893 This directive has similar trade-offs as happy_eyeballs_connect_gap,
10894 but its focus is on limiting Squid overheads, while
10895 happy_eyeballs_connect_gap focuses on the origin server and peer
10896 overheads.
10897
10898 The following Happy Eyeballs directives place additional connection
