33 WELCOME TO SQUID @VERSION@

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.

681 DOC_START
682 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
683 find the original source of a request.
684
685 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
686 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
687 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
688 rightmost address being the most recent.
689
690 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
691 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
692 to see where that host received the request from. If the
693 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, and if
694 acl_uses_indirect_client is on, then we continue backtracking
695 until we reach an address for which we are not allowed to
696 follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
697 address in the list. (If acl_uses_indirect_client is off, then
698 it's impossible to backtrack through more than one level of
699 X-Forwarded-For addresses.)
700
701 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
702 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
703 be treated as the client address for access control, delay
704 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
705 delay_pool_uses_indirect_client and log_uses_indirect_client
706 options.
707
708 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
709
710 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
711 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
712 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
713 source address of the request. This may enable remote
714 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
715 based on the client's source addresses.
716
717 For example:
718
719 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1

943 DOC_START
944 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
945 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
946 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
947 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
948 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
949 for this reply.
950
951 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
952 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
953 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
954 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
955 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
956 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
957 and they will receive a partial reply.
958
959 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
960 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
961 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
962 use this option if you have downstream caches.
963
964 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
965 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
966 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
967 the size of your largest error page.

970 no limit imposed.

987 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
988 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
989 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
990 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
991 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
992 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
993 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
994 address, so you can use the port number alone.
995
996 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
997 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
998
999 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1000 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
1001 be plain proxy ports with no options.
1002
1003 You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.

1012 connections using the client IP address.

1016 vhost / vport / defaultsite.
1017
1018 defaultsite=domainname
1019 What to use for the Host: header if it is not present
1020 in a request. Determines what site (not origin server)
1021 accelerators should consider the default.

1038 forwarding Microsoft connection oriented authentication

1043 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
1044 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
1045 support is enabled.
1046 always disable always PMTU discovery.
1047
1048 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
1049 Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
1050 clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
1051 does not fully track connections and fails to forward
1052 ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
1053 have such setup and experience that certain clients
1054 sporadically hang or never complete requests set
1055 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.
1056
1057 sslBump Intercept each CONNECT request matching ssl_bump ACL,
1058 establish secure connection with the client and with
1059 the server, decrypt HTTP messages as they pass through
1060 Squid, and treat them as unencrypted HTTP messages,
1061 becoming the man-in-the-middle.
1062
1063 When this option is enabled, additional options become
1064 available to specify SSL-related properties of the
1065 client-side connection: cert, key, version, cipher,
1066 options, clientca, cafile, capath, crlfile, dhparams,
1067 sslflags, and sslcontext. See the https_port directive
1068 for more information on these options.
1069
1070 The ssl_bump option is required to fully enable
1071 the SslBump feature.

1073 name= Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
1074 the port specification (port or addr:port)
1075
1076 keepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]
1077 Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections
1078 idle is the initial time before TCP starts probing
1079 the connection, interval how often to probe, and
1080 timeout the time before giving up.
1081
1082 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
1083 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
1084 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
1085 visible on the internal address.

1337 IPv6 Magic:
1338
1339 Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 internets.
1340 tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
1341 all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
1342 side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.
1343
1344 To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
1345 an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
1346 is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

1498
1499 For example, the following lines will bypass all validation errors

1501 validation errors will result in ERR_SECURE_CONNECT_FAIL error.

1507 This option must use fast ACL expressions only. Expressions that use

1610 connection-auth[=on|off|auto]
1611
1612 use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
1613 from this cache should not be saved locally.
1614
1615 use 'weight=n' to affect the selection of a peer
1616 during any weighted peer-selection mechanisms.
1617 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
1618 larger weights are favored more.
1619 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
1620 protocol is not in use.
1621
1622 use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
1623 be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
1624 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
1625 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
1626 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
1627
1628 use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
1629 when sending an ICP queries to this address.
1630 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
1631 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
1632 hosts, you must configure other group members as
1633 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.
1634
1635 use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
1636 neighbor.
1637
1638 use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
1639 neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
1640 round trip time updated and is usually used in
1641 conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
1642
1643 use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
1644 be used as a "last-resort" if a peer cannot be located
1645 by any of the peer-selection mechanisms.
1646 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
1647
1648 use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
1649 should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
1650 absence of any ICP queries.
1651
1652 use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
1653 which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
1654 frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
1655 time. Closer parents are used more often.
1656 Usually used for background-ping parents.
1657
1658 use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
1659 be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
1660 distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
1661 balancing hash function based on their weight.
1662
1663 use 'userhash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
1664 based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
1665
1666 use 'sourcehash' to load-balance amongst a set of parents
1667 based on the client source ip.
1668
1669 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
1670 is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
1671 not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
1672 will be accepted from it.
1673
1674 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
1675 replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
1676 and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
1677
1678 use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
1679 this neighbor.
1680
1681 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
1682 RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
1683
1684 use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
1685 from influencing the delay pools.
1686
1687 use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
1688 proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
1689 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
1690 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
1691
1692 use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
1693 the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
1694 configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
1695 the users credentials as they are to the peer.
1696 This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
1697 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
1698 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
1699 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
1700 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
1701 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
1702
1703 use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
1704 upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
1705 to be used when the peer is in another administrative
1706 domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
1707 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
1708 information which is added to the username. This can
1709 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
1710 the login=username:password option above.
1711
1712 use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
1713 specific connect timeout (also see the
1714 peer_connect_timeout directive)
1715
1716 use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
1717 digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
1718 the specified URL rather than the Squid default
1719 location.
1720
1721 use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
1722 when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
1723 useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
1724 extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
1725 loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
1726 with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
1727 requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
1728 source is a peer)
1729
1730 use 'max-conn=n' to limit the amount of connections Squid
1731 may open to this peer.
1732
1733 use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
1734 to the neighbor. You probably also want to
1735 set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
1736 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1737 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
1738
1739 use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
1740 You MUST also set htcp_access expicitly. The default of
1741 deny all will prevent peer traffic.
1742
1743 use 'htcp-no-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but without
1744 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
1745 htcp-only-clr.
1746
1747 use 'htcp-no-purge-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor
1748 including CLRs but only when they do not result from
1749 PURGE requests.
1750
1751 use 'htcp-only-clr' to send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY
1752 CLR requests. This cannot be used with htcp-no-clr.
1753
1754 use 'htcp-forward-clr' to forward any HTCP CLR requests
1755 this proxy receives to the peer.
1756
1757 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
1758 a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
1759
1760 use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
1761 host but different ports. This name can be used to
1762 differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
1763 directives.
1764
1765 use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
1766 of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
1767 setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
1768 name and using redirectors to feed this domain name
1769 is not feasible.
1770
1771 use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
1772 be SSL/TLS encrypted.
1773
1774 use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
1775 SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.
1776
1777 use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
1778 key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
1779 specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
1780 combined file containing both the certificate and the key.
1781
1782 use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
1783 when connecting to this peer
1784 1 = automatic (default)
1785 2 = SSL v2 only
1786 3 = SSL v3 only
1787 4 = TLS v1 only
1788
1789 use sslcipher=... to specify the list of valid SSL ciphers
1790 to use when connecting to this peer.
1791
1792 use ssloptions=... to specify various SSL engine options:
1793 NO_SSLv2 Disallow the use of SSLv2
1794 NO_SSLv3 Disallow the use of SSLv3
1795 NO_TLSv1 Disallow the use of TLSv1
1796 See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
1797 a more complete list.
1798
1799 use sslcafile=... to specify a file containing
1800 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the
1801 peer certificate.
1802
1803 use sslcapath=... to specify a directory containing
1804 additional CA certificates to use when verifying the

1806
1807 use sslcrlfile=... to specify a certificate revocation
1808 list file to use when verifying the peer certificate.
1809
1810 use sslflags=... to specify various flags modifying the
1811 SSL implementation:
1812 DONT_VERIFY_PEER
1813 Accept certificates even if they fail to
1814 verify.
1815 NO_DEFAULT_CA
1816 Don't use the default CA list built in
1817 to OpenSSL.
1818 DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
1819 Don't verify the peer certificate
1820 matches the server name
1821
1822 use ssldomain= to specify the peer name as advertised
1823 in it's certificate. Used for verifying the correctness
1824 of the received peer certificate. If not specified the
1825 peer hostname will be used.
1826
1827 use front-end-https to enable the "Front-End-Https: On"
1828 header needed when using Squid as a SSL frontend in front
1829 of Microsoft OWA. See MS KB document Q307347 for details
1830 on this header. If set to auto the header will
1831 only be added if the request is forwarded as a https://
1832 URL.
1833
1834 use connection-auth=off to tell Squid that this peer does
1835 not support Microsoft connection oriented authentication,
1836 and any such challenges received from there should be
1837 ignored. Default is auto to automatically determine the
1838 status of the peer.

1855
1856 has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
1857 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a

1859 with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects
1860 NOT in that domain.

1862 NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
1863 either on the same or separate lines.
1864 * When multiple domains are given for a particular

1913 DOC_START
1914 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
1915 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
1916 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
1917 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
1918 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
1919 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
1920
1921 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
1922 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
1923 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
1924 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
1925 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
1926 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

1957 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
1958 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
1959 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
1960 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
1961
1962 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
1963 for:
1964 * In-Transit objects
1965 * Hot Objects
1966 * Negative-Cached objects
1967
1968 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
1969 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
1970 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
1971 priority.
1972
1973 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
1974 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
1975 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
1976 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
1977 not needed for in-transit objects.
1978
1979 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
1980 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
1981 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
1982 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
1983 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
1984 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
1985 objects.

2020 DOC_START
2021 The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
2022 objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.
2023
2024 lru : Squid's original list based LRU policy
2025 heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
2026 heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
2027 heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap
2028
2029 Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.
2030
2031 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
2032
2033 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
2034 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
2035 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
2036 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
2037
2038 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
2039 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
2040 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
2041 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
2042
2043 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
2044 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
2045 replacement policies.
2046
2047 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
2048 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
2049 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

2060 DOC_START
2061 Usage:
2062
2063 cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
2064
2065 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
2066 cache among different disk partitions.
2067
2068 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
2069 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
2070 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
2071
2072 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
2073 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
2074 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
2075 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
2076 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
2077
2078 The ufs store type:
2079
2080 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
2081 been there.
2082
2083 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
2084
2085 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
2086 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
2087 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
2088 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
2089 subtract 20% and use that value.
2090
2091 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
2092 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
2093
2094 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
2095 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
2096 is 256.
2097
2098 The aufs store type:
2099
2100 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
2101 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2102 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
2103
2104 cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
2105
2106 see argument descriptions under ufs above
2107
2108 The diskd store type:
2109
2110 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
2111 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
2112 disk-I/O.
2113
2114 cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
2115
2116 see argument descriptions under ufs above
2117
2118 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
2119 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
2120 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
2121
2122 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
2123 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
2124 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
2125
2126 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
2127 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
2128 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
2129 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
2130 time.
2131
2132 The coss store type:
2133
2134 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
2135 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
2136 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
2137 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
2138 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
2139 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
2140 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
2141
2142 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
2143 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
2144 this will be created by squid -z.
2145
2146 Common options:
2147
2148 no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir
2149
2150 max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
2151 It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
2152 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
2153 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
2154 ones with no max-size specification last.
2155
2156 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
2157 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
2158 option.

2398 Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds

2400 the cache during startup. Normally this file resides in each
2401 'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
2402 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
2403 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
2404 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
2405
2406 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
2407 a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
2408 with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
2409 lines when cache_swap_log is being used.

2439 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
2440 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
2441 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
2442 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

3202 DOC_START
3203 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
3204 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
3205 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
3206 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
3207 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
3208 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
3209 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
3210 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
3211 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
3212 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
3213 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
3214 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
3215 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
3216 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
3217 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
3218 force fresh content.

3513 DOC_START
3514 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
3515 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
3516 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
3517 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
3518 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
3519 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
3520 day, 1440 minutes.
3521
3522 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
3523 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
3524 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
3525 If you seem to have many client connections tying up
3526 filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,

3845
3846 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3847 bucket.
3848
3849 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3850 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
3851 from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.
3852
3853 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
3854 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
3855 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
3856 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
3857 32 of the IP address.
3858
3859 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
3860 additional limit on a per user basis. This
3861 only takes effect if the username is established
3862 in advance - by forcing authentication in your

3904 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
3905 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
3906 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
3907
3908 delay_parameters pool aggregate
3909
3910 For a class 2 delay pool:
3911
3912 delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
3913
3914 For a class 3 delay pool:
3915
3916 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
3917
3918 For a class 4 delay pool:
3919
3920 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
3921
3922 For a class 5 delay pool:
3923
3924 delay_parameters pool tag
3925
3926 The variables here are:
3927
3928 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
3929 number specified in delay_pools as used in
3930 delay_class lines.
3931
3932 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
3933 (class 1, 2, 3).
3934
3935 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
3936 buckets (class 2, 3).
3937
3938 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
3939 (class 3).
3940
3941 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
3942 (class 4).
3943
3944 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
3945 (class 5).
3946
3947 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
3948 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
3949 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
3950 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
3951
3952 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
3953 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
3954 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
3955
3956 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
3957
3958 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
3959
3960 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
3961 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
3962 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
3963 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
3964 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
3965 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
3966 large downloads more significantly:
3967
3968 delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
3969
3970 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
3971
3972 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
3973 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
3974
3975 delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

4038 to some very old and end-of-life Cisco routers. In all other
4039 setups it must be left unset or at the default setting.
4040 It defines an internal version in the WCCP(v1) protocol,
4041 with version 4 being the officially documented protocol.

4043 According to some users, Cisco IOS 11.2 and earlier only
4044 support WCCP version 3. If you're using that or an earlier

4120 WCCP2 allows for multiple traffic services. There are two
4121 types: "standard" and "dynamic". The standard type defines
4122 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
4123 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
4124 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
4125 using the wccp2_service_info option.
4126
4127 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,
4128 just specifying the service id will suffice.
4129
4130 MD5 service authentication can be enabled by adding
4131 "password=<password>" to the end of this service declaration.

4135 wccp2_service standard 0 # for the 'web-cache' standard service
4136 wccp2_service dynamic 80 # a dynamic service type which will be

4853 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
4854 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
4855 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
4856 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
4857
4858 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
4859 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
4860 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
4861 the first authentication related acl encountered
4862 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
4863 acl processed on the last http_access line.
4864
4865 NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
4866 you may also specify them by your custom file name:
4867 Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys
4868
4869 Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will
4870 get redirected (302) to the specified URL. %s in the redirection
4871 URL will be replaced by the requested URL.

4874 by specifying TCP_RESET.

4889 to origin servers.
4890
4891 If you set this to off, Squid will prefer to send these
4892 requests to parents.
4893
4894 Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
4895 add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit

4911 By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
4912 can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
4913 fails.
4914

4925 Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
4926
4927 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
4928 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
4929 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
4930 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
4931 something like:
4932
4933 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
4934 always_direct allow local-servers
4935
4936 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
4937
4938 acl FTP proto FTP
4939 always_direct allow FTP
4940
4941 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
4942 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
4943 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
4944 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
4945 some other rule. Example:
4946
4947 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
4948 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
4949 always_direct deny local-external
4950 always_direct allow local-servers
4951
4952 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
4953 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
4954 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
4955 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
4956
4957 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
4958 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
4959 the replies see no_cache.

4961 This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain
4962 and local_ip.

4972 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
4973 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
4974
4975 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
4976 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
4977 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
4978 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
4979
4980 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
4981 never_direct deny local-servers
4982 never_direct allow all
4983
4984 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
4985 servers inside the firewall use something like:
4986
4987 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
4988 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
4989 always_direct deny local-external
4990 always_direct allow local-intranet

5676 If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
5677 limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
5678 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
5679 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
5680 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
5681 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
5682 configuration will use less memory.
5683
5684 If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
5685 will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.
5686
5687 To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
5688 memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.
5689
5690 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
5691 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
5692 object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
5693 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

5801 When you enable this option, squid will always check
5802 the origin server for an update when a client sends an
5803 If-Modified-Since request. Many browsers use IMS
5804 requests when the user requests a reload, and this
5805 ensures those clients receive the latest version.
5806
5807 By default (off), squid may return a Not Modified response
5808 based on the age of the cached version.

5879 What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the
5880 URI. Options:
5881
5882 strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
5883 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
5884 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
5885 Request" message.
5886 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
5887 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
5888 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
5889 are in use.
5890 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
5891 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
5892 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
5893 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
5894 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
5895 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
5896 violation.

5995 When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
5996 sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
5997 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
5998 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
5999 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
6000 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
6001 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
6002 until all the child processes have been started.
