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

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

66 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
67 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
68 COMMENT_END
69
70 NAME: auth_param
71 TYPE: authparam
72 LOC: Config.authConfiguration
73 DEFAULT: none
74 DOC_START
75 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
76 schemes supported by Squid.
77
78 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
79
80 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
81 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
82 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
83 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
84 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
85 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
86 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
87 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
88 program entry).
89
90 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
91 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
92 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
93 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
94
95 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
96 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
97 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
98 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
99 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
100 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
101 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
102 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
103 type acl.
104
105 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
106 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
107 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
108 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
109 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have authentication
110 disabled.
111
112 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
113
114 "program" cmdline
115 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
116 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
117 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
118 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
119 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth.
120
121 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
122 program is specified.
123
124 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
125 this line to something like
126
127 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
128
129 "children" numberofchildren
130 The number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
131 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
132 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
133 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
134 authenticator processes.
135 auth_param basic children 5
136
137 "concurrency" concurrency
138 The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
139 The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
140 one request at a time. Setting this changes the protocol used to
141 include a channel number first on the request/response line, allowing
142 multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallell without
143 wating for the response.
144 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
145 auth_param basic concurrency 0
146
147 "realm" realmstring
148 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
149 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
150 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
151 password). There is no default.
152 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
153
154 "credentialsttl" timetolive
155 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
156 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
157 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
158 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
159 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
160 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
161 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
162 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
163 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
164
165 "casesensitive" on|off
166 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
167 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
168 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
169 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
170 auth_param basic casesensitive off
171
172 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
173
174 "program" cmdline
175 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
176 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
177 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
178 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
179 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
180 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
181 available as %m in the returned error page.
182
183 By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
184 program is specified.
185
186 If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
187 something like
188
189 auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_auth_pw @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass
190
191 "children" numberofchildren
192 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
193 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
194 process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
195 When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
196 you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
197 auth_param digest children 5
198
199 "realm" realmstring
200 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
201 client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
202 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
203 password). There is no default.
204 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
205
206 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
207 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
208 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
209
210 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
211 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
212 valid for.
213
214 "nonce_max_count" number
215 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
216 used.
217
218 "nonce_strictness" on|off
219 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
220 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
221 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
222 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
223
224 "check_nonce_count" on|off
225 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
226 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
227 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
228 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
229
230 "post_workaround" on|off
231 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
232 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
233 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
234
235 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
236
237 "program" cmdline
238 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
239 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
240 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
241 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
242 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
243 is not used.
244
245 auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth
246
247 "children" numberofchildren
248 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
249 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
250 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
251 down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
252 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
253 processes.
254
255 auth_param ntlm children 5
256
257 "keep_alive" on|off
258 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
259 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
260 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
261 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
262 supported by the proxy.
263
264 auth_param ntlm keep_alive on
265
266 === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===
267
268 "program" cmdline
269 Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
270 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
271 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
272 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
273 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
274 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl
275 of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate authenticator_program
276 is not used.
277 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
278 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.
279
280 auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego
281
282 "children" numberofchildren
283 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
284 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
285 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
286 down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow)
287 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
288 processes.
289 auth_param negotiate children 5
290
291 "keep_alive" on|off
292 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
293 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
294 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
295 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
296 supported by the proxy.

325 DOC_START
326 The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.
327 This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say
328 2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you
329 have good reason to.

347 DOC_START
348 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
349 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
350 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
351 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
352 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
353 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
354 environment with relatively static address assignments.

448 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
449 in error pages
450 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
451 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
452 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
453 %ea in logformat specifications
454
455 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
456 each value in both requests and responses.
457
458 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
459 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
460 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
461
462 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
463 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
464 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

685 DOC_START
686 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
687 find the original source of a request.
688
689 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
690 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
691 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
692 rightmost address being the most recent.
693
694 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
695 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
696 to see where that host received the request from. If the
697 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
698 acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
699 until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
700 follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
701 address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
702 it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
703 X-Forwarded-For addresses.)
704
705 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
706 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
707 be treated as the client address for access control, delay
708 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
709 delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client
710 options.
711
712 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
713
714 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
715 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
716 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
717 source address of the request. This may enable remote
718 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
719 based on the client's source addresses.

947 DOC_START
948 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
949 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
950 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
951 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
952 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
953 for this reply.
954
955 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
956 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
957 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
958 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
959 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
960 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
961 and they will receive a partial reply.
962
963 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
964 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
965 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
966 use this option if you have downstream caches.
967
968 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
969 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
970 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
971 the size of your largest error page.
972
973 If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be
974 no limit imposed.

997 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
998 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
999 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1000 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1001 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
1002 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
1003 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
1004 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1005
1006 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1007 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1008
1009 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1010 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
1011 be plain proxy ports with no options.

1054 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
1055 support is enabled.
1056 always disable always PMTU discovery.
1057
1058 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
1059 Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
1060 clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
1061 does not fully track connections and fails to forward
1062 ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
1063 have such setup and experience that certain clients
1064 sporadically hang or never complete requests set
1065 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.

1067 sslBump Intercept each CONNECT request matching ssl_bump ACL,
1068 establish secure connection with the client and with
1069 the server, decrypt HTTP messages as they pass through
1070 Squid, and treat them as unencrypted HTTP messages,
1071 becoming the man-in-the-middle.

1073 When this option is enabled, additional options become
1074 available to specify SSL-related properties of the
1075 client-side connection: cert, key, version, cipher,
1076 options, clientca, cafile, capath, crlfile, dhparams,
1077 sslflags, and sslcontext. See the https_port directive
1078 for more information on these options.
1079
1080 The ssl_bump option is required to fully enable
1081 the SslBump feature.

1083 name= Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
1084 the port specification (port or addr:port)
1085
1086 keepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]

1088 idle is the initial time before TCP starts probing
1089 the connection, interval how often to probe, and
1090 timeout the time before giving up.
1091
1092 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
1093 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
1094 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
1095 visible on the internal address.

1231
1232 The TOS/DSCP byte must be exactly that - a octet value 0 - 255, or
1233 "default" to use whatever default your host has. Note that in

1333 IPv6 Magic:
1334
1335 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 internets.
1336 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1337 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1338 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1339
1340 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1341 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1342 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1500
1501 For example, the following lines will bypass all validation errors
1502 when talking to servers located at 172.16.0.0/16. All other
1503 validation errors will result in ERR_SECURE_CONNECT_FAIL error.

1509 This option must use fast ACL expressions only. Expressions that use

1513 Without this option, all server certificate validation errors
1514 terminate the transaction. Bypassing validation errors is dangerous

1611 front-end-https[=on|auto]
1612 connection-auth[=on|off|auto]
1613
1614 use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
1615 from this cache should not be saved locally.
1616
1617 use 'weight=n' to affect the selection of a peer
1618 during any weighted peer-selection mechanisms.
1619 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
1620 larger weights are favored more.
1621 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
1622 protocol is not in use.
1623
1624 use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
1625 be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
1626 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
1627 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
1628 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
1629
1630 use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
1631 when sending an ICP queries to this address.
1632 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
1633 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
1634 hosts, you must configure other group members as
1635 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.
1636
1637 use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
1638 neighbor.
1639
1640 use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
1641 neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
1642 round trip time updated and is usually used in
1643 conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
1644
1645 use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
1646 be used as a "last-resort" if a peer cannot be located
1647 by any of the peer-selection mechanisms.
1648 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
1649
1650 use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
1651 should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
1652 absence of any ICP queries.
1653
1654 use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
1655 which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
1656 frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
1657 time. Closer parents are used more often.
1658 Usually used for background-ping parents.
1659
1660 use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
1661 be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
1662 distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
1663 balancing hash function based on their weight.
1664
1665 use 'userhash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
1666 based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
1667
1668 use 'sourcehash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
1669 based on the client source ip.
1670
1671 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
1672 is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
1673 not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
1674 will be accepted from it.
1675
1676 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
1677 replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
1678 and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
1679
1680 use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
1681 this neighbor.
1682
1683 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
1684 RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
1685
1686 use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
1687 from influencing the delay pools.
1688
1689 use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
1690 proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
1691 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
1692 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
1693
1694 use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
1695 the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
1696 configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
1697 the users credentials as they are to the peer.
1698 This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
1699 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
1700 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
1701 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
1702 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
1703 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
1704
1705 use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
1706 upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
1707 to be used when the peer is in another administrative
1708 domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
1709 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
1710 information which is added to the username. This can
1711 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
1712 the login=username:password option above.
1713
1714 use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
1715 specific connect timeout (also see the
1716 peer_connect_timeout directive)
1717
1718 use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
1719 digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
1720 the specified URL rather than the Squid default
1721 location.
1722
1723 use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
1724 when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
1725 useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
1726 extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
1727 loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
1728 with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
1729 requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
1730 source is a peer)

1732 use 'max-conn=n' to limit the amount of connections Squid
1733 may open to this peer.
1734
1735 use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
1736 to the neighbor. You probably also want to
1737 set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
1738 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1739 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
1740
1741 use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
1742 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1743 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
1744
1745 use 'htcp-no-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but without
1746 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
1747 htcp-only-clr.
1748
1749 use 'htcp-no-purge-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor
1750 including CLRs but only when they do not result from
1751 PURGE requests.
1752
1753 use 'htcp-only-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY
1754 CLR requests. This cannot be used with htcp-no-clr.
1755
1756 use 'htcp-forward-clr' to forward any HTCP CLR requests
1757 this proxy receives to the peer.
1758
1759 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
1760 a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
1761
1762 use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
1763 host but different ports. This name can be used to
1764 differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
1765 directives. Including the peername ACL type.
1766
1767 use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
1768 of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
1769 setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
1770 name and using redirectors to feed this domain name
1771 is not feasible.
1772
1773 use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
1774 be SSL/TLS encrypted.
1775
1776 use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
1777 SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.
1778
1779 use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
1780 key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
1781 specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
1782 combined file containing both the certificate and the key.
1783
1784 use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
1785 when connecting to this peer
1786 1 = automatic (default)
1787 2 = SSL v2 only
1788 3 = SSL v3 only
1789 4 = TLS v1 only
1790
1791 use sslcipher=... to specify the list of valid SSL ciphers
1792 to use when connecting to this peer.
1793
1794 use ssloptions=... to specify various SSL engine options:
1795 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
1796 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
1797 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
1798 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
1799 a more complete list.
1800
1801 use sslcafile=... to specify a file containing
1802 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
1803 peer certificate.
1804
1805 use sslcapath=... to specify a directory containing
1806 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the

1808
1809 use sslcrlfile=... to specify a certificate revocation
1810 list file to use when verifying the peer certificate.
1811
1812 use sslflags=... to specify various flags modifying the
1813 SSL implementation:
1814 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
1815 Accept certificates even if they fail to
1816 verify.
1817 NO_DEFAULT_CA
1818 Don't use the default CA list built in
1819 to OpenSSL.
1820 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
1821 Don't verify the peer certificate
1822 matches the server name
1823
1824 use ssldomain= to specify the peer name as advertised
1825 in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness
1826 of the received peer certificate. If not specified the
1827 peer hostname will be used.
1828
1829 use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On"
1830 header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend in front
1831 of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details
1832 on this header. If set to auto the header will
1833 only be added if the request is forwarded as a https://
1834 URL.
1835
1836 use connection-auth=off to tell Squid that this peer does
1837 not support Microsoft connection oriented authentication,
1838 and any such challenges received from there should be
1839 ignored. Default is auto to automatically determine the
1840 status of the peer.

1857
1858 has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to

1865 either on the same or separate lines.
1866 * When multiple domains are given for a particular

1915 DOC_START
1916 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
1917 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
1918 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
1919 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
1920 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
1921 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
1922
1923 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
1924 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
1925 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
1926 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
1927 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
1928 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

1959 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
1960 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
1961 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
1962 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
1963
1964 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
1965 for:
1966 * In-Transit objects
1967 * Hot Objects
1968 * Negative-Cached objects
1969
1970 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
1971 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
1972 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
1973 priority.
1974
1975 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
1976 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
1977 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
1978 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
1979 not needed for in-transit objects.
1980
1981 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
1982 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
1983 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
1984 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
1985 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
1986 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
1987 objects.

2022 DOC_START
2023 The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
2024 objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.
2025
2026 lru : Squid's original list based LRU policy
2027 heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
2028 heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
2029 heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap
2030
2031 Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.
2032
2033 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
2034
2035 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2036 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2037 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2038 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
2039
2040 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2041 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2042 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2043 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
2044
2045 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2046 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2047 replacement policies.
2048
2049 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2050 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2051 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

2062 DOC_START
2063 Usage:
2064
2065 cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
2066
2067 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
2068 cache among different disk partitions.
2069
2070 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
2071 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
2072 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
2073
2074 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2075 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2076 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
2077 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
2078 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
2079
2080 The ufs store type:
2081
2082 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
2083 been there.
2084
2085 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
2086
2087 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
2088 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
2089 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2090 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2091 subtract 20% and use that value.
2092
2093 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
2094 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
2095
2096 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
2097 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
2098 is 256.
2099
2100 The aufs store type:
2101
2102 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
2103 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2104 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
2105
2106 cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
2107
2108 see argument descriptions under ufs above
2109
2110 The diskd store type:
2111
2112 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
2113 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2114 disk-I/O.
2115
2116 cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
2117
2118 see argument descriptions under ufs above
2119
2120 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2121 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2122 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
2123
2124 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2125 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2126 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
2127
2128 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2129 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2130 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
2131 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
2132 time.
2133
2134 The coss store type:
2135
2136 NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
2137 production use and has thus been removed from this release.
2138 We hope that it can be made usable again soon.
2139
2140 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2141 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2142 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2143 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2144 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2145 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2146 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
2147
2148 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2149 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2150 this will be created by squid -z.
2151
2152 Common options:
2153
2154 no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir
2155
2156 max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
2157 It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
2158 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
2159 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2160 ones with no max-size specification last.
2161
2162 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
2163 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
2164 option.

2404 Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds

2406 the cache during startup. Normally this file resides in each
2407 'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
2408 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
2409 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
2410 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
2411
2412 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
2413 a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
2414 with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
2415 lines when cache_swap_log is being used.

2443 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
2444
2445 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
2446 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
2447 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
2448 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

2876 'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit

2878 value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
2879 to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
2880 has taken the appropriate actions.

2902 VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature
2903 could make you liable for problems which it causes.
2904
2905 override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
2906 that were modified recently.
2907
2908 reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload''
2909 to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the
2910 HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you

2917
2918 ignore-no-cache ignores any ``Pragma: no-cache'' and
2919 ``Cache-control: no-cache'' headers received from a server.
2920 The HTTP RFC never allows the use of this (Pragma) header
2921 from a server, only a client, though plenty of servers
2922 send it anyway.
2923
2924 ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''

2933
2934 ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,

2937 Enabling this feature could make you liable for problems which
2938 it causes.

2940 refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
2941 when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
2942 ensures that the client will receive an updated version
2943 if one is available.
2944
2945 Basically a cached object is:
2946
2947 FRESH if expires < now, else STALE

3214 DOC_START
3215 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
3216 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
3217 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
3218 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
3219 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
3220 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
3221 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
3222 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
3223 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
3224 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
3225 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
3226 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
3227 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
3228 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
3229 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
3230 force fresh content.

3526 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to

3530 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
3531 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
3532 day, 1440 minutes.

3534 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
3535 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
3536 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
3537 If you seem to have many client connections tying up

3860
3861 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3862 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
3863 from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.
3864
3865 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3866 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
3867 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
3868 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
3869 32 of the IP address.
3870
3871 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an

3916 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
3917 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the

3919
3920 delay_parameters pool aggregate
3921
3922 For a class 2 delay pool:

3932 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
3933
3934 For a class 5 delay pool:
3935
3936 delay_parameters pool tag
3937
3938 The variables here are:
3939
3940 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
3941 number specified in delay_pools as used in
3942 delay_class lines.
3943
3944 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
3945 (class 1, 2, 3).
3946
3947 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
3948 buckets (class 2, 3).
3949
3950 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
3951 (class 3).
3952
3953 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
3954 (class 4).
3955
3956 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
3957 (class 5).
3958
3959 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
3960 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
3961 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
3962 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
3963
3964 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
3965 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
3966 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
3967
3968 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
3969
3970 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
3971
3972 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
3973 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
3974 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
3975 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
3976 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
3977 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
3978 large downloads more significantly:
3979
3980 delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
3981
3982 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
3983
3984 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
3985 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:

4132 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
4133 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
4134 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
4135 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
4136 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
4137 using the wccp2_service_info option.
4138
4139 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
4140 just specifying the service id will suffice.
4141
4142 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
4143 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

4875 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
4876 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
4877 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
4878 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
4879
4880 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
4881 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
4882 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
4883 the first authentication related acl encountered
4884 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
4885 acl processed on the last http_access line.
4886
4887 NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
4888 you may also specify them by your custom file name:
4889 Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys
4890
4891 Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will
4892 get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection
4893 URL will be replaced by the requested URL.

4896 by specifying TCP_RESET.

4909 By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests
4910 (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct
4911 to origin servers.
4912
4913 If you set this to off, Squid will prefer to send these
4914 requests to parents.
4915
4916 Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
4917 add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit
4918 ratio.

4930 reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if
4931 going direct fails set this to on.
4932
4933 By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
4934 can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
4935 fails.
4936
4937 Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see

4947 Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
4948
4949 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
4950 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
4951 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
4952 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
4953 something like:
4954
4955 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
4956 always_direct allow local-servers
4957
4958 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
4959
4960 acl FTP proto FTP
4961 always_direct allow FTP
4962
4963 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
4964 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
4965 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
4966 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
4967 some other rule. Example:
4968
4969 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
4970 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
4971 always_direct deny local-external
4972 always_direct allow local-servers
4973
4974 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
4975 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
4976 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
4977 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
4978
4979 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
4980 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
4981 the replies see no_cache.
4982
4983 This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain
4984 and local_ip.

4993
4994 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
4995 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
4996
4997 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
4998 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
4999 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
5000 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
5001
5002 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
5003 never_direct deny local-servers
5004 never_direct allow all
5005
5006 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
5007 servers inside the firewall use something like:
5008
5009 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
5010 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
5011 always_direct deny local-external
5012 always_direct allow local-intranet

5198 During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what
5199 HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.
5200 Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one.
5201

5698 If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
5699 limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
5700 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
5701 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
5702 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
5703 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
5704 configuration will use less memory.
5705
5706 If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
5707 will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.

5709 To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set

5711
5712 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
5713 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
5714 object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
5715 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

5823 When you enable this option, squid will always check
5824 the origin server for an update when a client sends an
5825 If-Modified-Since request. Many browsers use IMS
5826 requests when the user requests a reload, and this
5827 ensures those clients receive the latest version.
5828
5829 By default (off), squid may return a Not Modified response
5830 based on the age of the cached version.

5901 What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the
5902 URI. Options:
5903
5904 strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
5905 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
5906 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
5907 Request" message.
5908 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
5909 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
5910 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
5911 are in use.
5912 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
5913 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
5914 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
5915 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
5916 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
5917 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
5918 violation.

6021 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
6022 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
6023 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
6024 until all the child processes have been started.
