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

60 DOC_START
61 Usage: port [options]
62 hostname:port [options]
63 1.2.3.4:port [options]
64
65 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
66 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
67 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
68 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
69 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
70 address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
71 option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
72 address, so you can use the port number alone.
73
74 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
75 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
76
77 The -a command line option will override the *first* port
78 number listed here. That option will NOT override an IP
79 address, however.
80
81 You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.
82
83 Options:
84
85 transparent Support for transparent proxies
86
87 accel Accelerator mode. Also set implicit by the other
88 accelerator directives
89
90 vhost Accelerator mode using Host header for virtual
91 domain support
92
93 vport Accelerator with IP based virtual host support
94
95 vport=NN As above, but uses specified port number rather
96 than the http_port number
97
98 defaultsite= Main web site name for accelerators
99
100 protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with.
101 Defaults to http
102
103 disable-pmtu-discovery=
104 Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
105 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
106 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
107 support is enabled.
108 always disable always PMTU discovery.
109
110 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies Path-MTU
111 discovery can not work on traffic towards the clients. This is
112 the case when the intercepting device does not fully track
113 connections and fails to forward ICMP must fragment messages
114 to the cache server. If you have such setup and experience that
115 certain clients sporadically hang or never complete requests set
116 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.
117
118 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
119 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
120 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
121 visible on the internal address.

139 This is really only useful for situations where you are running
140 squid in accelerator mode and you want to do the SSL work at the
141 accelerator level.

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

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

445
446 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
447
448 proxy_port: The port number where the cache listens for proxy
449 requests.
450
451 icp_port: Used for querying neighbor caches about
452 objects. To have a non-ICP neighbor
453 specify '7' for the ICP port and make sure the
454 neighbor machine has the UDP echo port
455 enabled in its /etc/inetd.conf file.

487 ssloptions=...
488 front-end-https[=on|auto]
489
490 use 'proxy-only' to specify objects fetched
491 from this cache should not be saved locally.
492
493 use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent.
494 The weight must be an integer. The default weight
495 is 1, larger weights are favored more.
496
497 use 'basetime=n' to specify a base amount to
498 be subtracted from round trip times of parents.
499 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
500 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
501 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
502
503 use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
504 when sending an ICP queries to this address.
505 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
506 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
507 hosts, you must configure other group members as
508 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below.
509
510 use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
511 neighbor.
512
513 use 'background-ping' to only send ICP queries to this
514 neighbor infrequently. This is used to keep the neighbor
515 round trip time updated and is usually used in
516 conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
517
518 use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
519 be used as a "last-resort." You should probably
520 only use 'default' in situations where you cannot
521 use ICP with your parent cache(s).
522
523 use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
524 should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
525 absence of any ICP queries.
526
527 use 'weighted-round-robin' to define a set of parents
528 which should be used in a round-robin fashion with the
529 frequency of each parent being based on the round trip
530 time. Closer parents are used more often.
531 Usually used for background-ping parents.
532
533 use 'carp' to define a set of parents which should
534 be used as a CARP array. The requests will be
535 distributed among the parents based on the CARP load
536 balancing hash function based on their weigth.
537
538 'multicast-responder' indicates the named peer
539 is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
540 not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
541 will be accepted from it.
542
543 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
544 replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
545 and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
546
547 use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
548 this neighbor.
549
550 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
551 RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
552
553 use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
554 from influencing the delay pools.
555
556 use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
557 proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
558 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
559 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
560
561 use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
562 the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
563 configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
564 the users credentials as they are to the peer.
565 This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
566 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
567 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
568 one proxy login.
569 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
570 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
571
572 use 'login=*:password' to pass the username to the
573 upstream cache, but with a fixed password. This is meant
574 to be used when the peer is in another administrative
575 domain, but it is still needed to identify each user.
576 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
577 information which is added to the username. This can
578 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
579 the login=username:password option above.
580
581 use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer
582 specific connect timeout (also see the
583 peer_connect_timeout directive)
584
585 use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache
586 digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from
587 the specified URL rather than the Squid default
588 location.
589
590 use 'allow-miss' to disable Squid's use of only-if-cached
591 when forwarding requests to siblings. This is primarily
592 useful when icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To
593 extensive use of this option may result in forwarding
594 loops, and you should avoid having two-way peerings
595 with this option. (for example to deny peer usage on
596 requests from peer by denying cache_peer_access if the
597 source is a peer)
598
599 use 'max-conn' to limit the amount of connections Squid
600 may open to this peer.
601
602 use 'htcp' to send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries
603 to the neighbor. You probably also want to
604 set the "icp port" to 4827 instead of 3130.
605
606 use 'htcp-oldsquid' to send HTCP to old Squid versions
607
608 'originserver' causes this parent peer to be contacted as
609 a origin server. Meant to be used in accelerator setups.
610
611 use 'name=xxx' if you have multiple peers on the same
612 host but different ports. This name can be used to
613 differentiate the peers in cache_peer_access and similar
614 directives.
615
616 use 'forceddomain=name' to forcibly set the Host header
617 of requests forwarded to this peer. Useful in accelerator
618 setups where the server (peer) expects a certain domain
619 name and using redirectors to feed this domainname
620 is not feasible.
621
622 use 'ssl' to indicate connections to this peer should
623 bs SSL/TLS encrypted.
624
625 use 'sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate' to specify a client
626 SSL certificate to use when connecting to this peer.
627
628 use 'sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key' to specify the private SSL
629 key corresponding to sslcert above. If 'sslkey' is not
630 specified 'sslcert' is assumed to reference a
631 combined file containing both the certificate and the key.
632
633 use sslversion=1|2|3|4 to specify the SSL version to use
634 when connecting to this peer

697
698 has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
699 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a

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

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

788 count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast

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

875 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
876 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
877 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
878 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
879
880 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
881 for:
882 * In-Transit objects
883 * Hot Objects
884 * Negative-Cached objects
885
886 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
887 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
888 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
889 priority.
890
891 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
892 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
893 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
894 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
895 not needed for in-transit objects.
896
897 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
898 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
899 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
900 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
901 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
902 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
903 objects.

1016 heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
1017 heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap
1018
1019 Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.
1020
1021 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
1022
1023 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
1024 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
1025 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
1026 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
1027
1028 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
1029 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
1030 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
1031 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
1032
1033 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
1034 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
1035 replacement policies.
1036
1037 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
1038 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to

1070
1071 cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
1072
1073 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
1074 cache among different disk partitions.
1075
1076 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
1077 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
1078 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
1079
1080 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
1081 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
1082 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
1083 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
1084 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
1085
1086 The ufs store type:
1087
1088 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
1089 been there.
1090
1091 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
1092
1093 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
1094 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
1095 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
1096 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
1097 subtract 20% and use that value.
1098
1099 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
1100 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
1101
1102 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
1103 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
1104 is 256.
1105
1106 The aufs store type:
1107
1108 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
1109 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
1110 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
1111
1112 cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
1113
1114 see argument descriptions under ufs above
1115
1116 The diskd store type:
1117
1118 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
1119 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
1120 disk-I/O.
1121
1122 cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
1123
1124 see argument descriptions under ufs above
1125
1126 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
1127 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
1128 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
1129
1130 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
1131 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
1132 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
1133
1134 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
1135 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
1136 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
1137 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
1138 time.
1139
1140 The coss store type:
1141
1142 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
1143 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
1144 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
1145 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
1146 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
1147 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
1148 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
1149
1150 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
1151 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
1152 this will be created by squid -z.
1153
1154 Common options:
1155
1156 read-only, this cache_dir is read only.
1157
1158 max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
1159 It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
1160 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
1161 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
1162 ones with no max-size specification last.
1163
1164 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
1165 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
1166 option.

1733 would tell the basic authentication scheme it's program parameter.
1734
1735 The order authentication prompts are presented to the client_agent
1736 is dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file.
1737 IE has a bug (it's not rfc 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
1738 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure schemes
1739 are presented. For now use the order in the file below. If other browsers
1740 have difficulties (don't recognize the schemes offered even if you are using
1741 basic) either put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting
1742 out their program entry).
1743
1744 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be shutdown
1745 by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on the fly and
1746 activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a different helper,
1747 but not unconfigure the helper completely.
1748
1749 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
1750
1751 "program" cmdline
1752 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a
1753 program reads a line containing "username password" and replies
1754 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
1755 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
1756 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth.
1757 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a program
1758 is specified.
1759
1760 If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication,
1761 jump over to the ../helpers/basic_auth/NCSA directory and
1762 type:
1763 % make
1764 % make install
1765
1766 Then, set this line to something like
1767
1768 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
1769
1770 "children" numberofchildren
1771 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
1772 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
1773 process a backlog of usercode/password verifications, slowing
1774 it down. When password verifications are done via a (slow)
1775 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
1776 processes.
1777 auth_param basic children 5
1778
1779 "concurrency" concurrency
1780 The number of concurrent requests the helper can process.
1781 The default of 0 is used for helpers who only supports
1782 one request at a time.
1783 auth_param basic concurrency 0
1784
1785 "realm" realmstring
1786 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
1787 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
1788 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
1789 password). There is no default.
1790 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
1791
1792 "credentialsttl" timetolive
1793 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
1794 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
1795 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
1796 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
1797 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility

1810 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
1811
1812 "program" cmdline
1813 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
1814 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
1815 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value base64 encoded or
1816 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
1817 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
1818 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
1819 available as %m in the returned error page.
1820
1821 By default, the digest authentication is not used unless a
1822 program is specified.
1823
1824 If you want to use a digest authenticator, jump over to the
1825 helpers/digest_auth/ directory and choose the authenticator
1826 to use. In it's directory type
1827 % make
1828 % make install
1829
1830 Then, set this line to something like
1831
1832 auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_auth_pw @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass
1833
1834
1835 "children" numberofchildren
1836 The number of authenticator processes to spawn (no default).
1837 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
1838 process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
1839 When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
1840 you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
1841 auth_param digest children 5
1842
1843 "realm" realmstring
1844 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
1845 client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
1846 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
1847 password). There is no default.
1848 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
1849
1850 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
1851 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
1852 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
1853
1854 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
1855 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
1856 valid for.
1857
1858 "nonce_max_count" number
1859 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
1860 used.
1861
1862 "nonce_strictness" on|off
1863 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
1864 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
1865 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
1866 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
1867
1868 "check_nonce_count" on|off
1869 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
1870 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
1871 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
1872 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
1873
1874 "post_workaround" on|off
1875 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
1876 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
1877 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
1878
1879 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
1880
1881 "program" cmdline
1882 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
1883 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
1884 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
1885 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
1886 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
1887 is not used.

1914 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
1915 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
1916 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
1917 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
1918 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least one acl
1919 of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate authenticator_program
1920 is not used.
1921 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth

2143 'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit
2144 expiry time should be considered fresh. The recommended
2145 value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
2146 to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
2147 has taken the appropriate actions.

2169 for problems which it causes.
2170
2171 override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
2172 that were modified recently.
2173
2174 reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload''
2175 to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the
2176 HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
2177 liable for problems which it causes.
2178
2179 ignore-reload ignores a client no-cache or ``reload''
2180 header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
2181 this feature could make you liable for problems which
2182 it causes.
2183
2184 ignore-no-cache ignores any ``Pragma: no-cache'' and
2185 ``Cache-control: no-cache'' headers received from a server.
2186 The HTTP RFC never allows the use of this (Pragma) header
2187 from a server, only a client, though plenty of servers
2188 send it anyway.
2189
2190 ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
2191 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
2192 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
2193 liable for problems which it causes.
2194
2195 ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
2196 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES

2199
2200 ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,

2204 it causes.
2205
2206 refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
2207 when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
2208 ensures that the client will receive an updated version
2209 if one is available.
2210
2211 Basically a cached object is:

2214 STALE if age > max
2215 FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
2216 FRESH if age < min

2428 DOC_START
2429 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
2430 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
2431 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
2432 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
2433 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
2434 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
2435 day, 1440 minutes.
2436
2437 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
2438 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
2439 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
2440 If you seem to have many client connections tying up
2441 filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,
2442 request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values.

2453 fully-closed TCP connection. By default, half-closed client
2454 connections are kept open until a read(2) or write(2) on the
2455 socket returns an error. Change this option to 'off' and Squid
2456 will immediately close client connections when read(2) returns

2915 DOC_START
2916 This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a reply.
2917 Reply headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes).
2918 Placing a limit on the reply header size will catch certain
2919 bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly
2920 buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks.

2927 LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
2928 DOC_START
2929 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
2930 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
2931 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
2932 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
2933 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
2934 for this reply.
2935
2936 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
2937 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
2938 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
2939 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
2940 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
2941 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
2942 and they will receive a partial reply.
2943
2944 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
2945 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
2946 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
2947 use this option if you have downstream caches.
2948
2949 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
2950 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
2951 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
2952 the size of your largest error page.
2953
2954 If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be
2955 no limit imposed.

3207 Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you
3208 type 'squid -k rotate'. The default is 10, which will rotate
3209 with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will

3214 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3215 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3216 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
3217 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

3294 and put them into the configured errors/ directory.

3296 Alternatively you can specify an error URL. The browsers will

3325 If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
3326 limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
3327 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
3328 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
3329 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
3330 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
3331 configuration will use less memory.
3332
3333 If set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
3334 will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.
3335
3336 To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
3337 memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.
3338
3339 An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
3340 when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
3341 object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
3342 reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

3623
3624 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
3625 ALWAYS be forwarded directly to origin servers. For example,
3626 to always directly forward requests for local servers use
3627 something like:
3628
3629 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
3630 always_direct allow local-servers
3631
3632 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
3633
3634 acl FTP proto FTP
3635 always_direct allow FTP
3636
3637 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
3638 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
3639 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
3640 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
3641 some other rule. Example:
3642
3643 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
3644 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
3645 always_direct deny local-external
3646 always_direct allow local-servers

3659 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
3660 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
3661
3662 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
3663 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
3664 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
3665 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
3666
3667 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
3668 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
3669 never_direct deny local-servers
3670 never_direct allow all
3671
3672 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
3673 servers inside the firewall use something like:
3674
3675 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
3676 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
3677 always_direct deny local-external
3678 always_direct allow local-intranet

4128 This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
4129
4130 delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
4131 then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
4132 request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
4133 the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
4134
4135 For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
4136 pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
4137
4138 Example:
4139 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
4140 delay_access 1 deny all

4151 DOC_START
4152 This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
4153 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
4154 description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
4155
4156 delay_parameters pool aggregate
4157
4158 For a class 2 delay pool:
4159
4160 delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
4161
4162 For a class 3 delay pool:
4163
4164 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
4165
4166 For a class 4 delay pool:
4167
4168 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
4169
4170 For a class 5 delay pool:
4171
4172 delay_parameters pool tag
4173
4174 The variables here are:
4175
4176 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
4177 number specified in delay_pools as used in
4178 delay_class lines.
4179
4180 aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
4181 (class 1, 2, 3).
4182
4183 individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
4184 buckets (class 2, 3).
4185
4186 network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
4187 (class 3).
4188
4189 user the delay parameters for the user buckets
4190 (class 4).
4191
4192 tag the delay parameters for the tag buckets
4193 (class 5).
4194
4195 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
4196 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
4197 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
4198 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
4199
4200 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
4201 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
4202 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
4203
4204 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
4205
4206 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
4207
4208 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
4209 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
4210 with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
4211 individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
4212 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
4213 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
4214 large downloads more significantly:
4215
4216 delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
4217
4218 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
4219
4220 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
4221 be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
4222
4223 delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

4704 DEFAULT: off
4705 DOC_START
4706 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4707 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4708 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4709 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4710 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4711 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4712 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4713 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4714 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4715 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4716 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4717 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4718 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4719 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4720 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4721 force fresh content.

4730 Many HTTP servers supporting Vary gives such objects
4731 immediate expiry time with no cache-control header
4732 when requested by a HTTP/1.0 client. This option
4733 enables Squid to ignore such expiry times until
4734 HTTP/1.1 is fully implemented.

4736 objects not intended for caching to get cached.

4745 When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
4746 sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
4747 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
4748 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
4749 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
4750 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
4751 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
4752 until all the child processes have been started.

4764 might be desirable to honor shorter object lifetimes. It
4765 is most likely better to make your server return a
4766 meaningful Last-Modified header however. In ESI environments
4767 where page fragments often have short lifetimes, this will
4768 often be best set to 0.
