        WELCOME TO @SQUID@
        ----------------------------

        This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
        to look at the Squid home page (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
        for the FAQ and other documentation.

        The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
        various options happen to be.  If you don't need to change the
        default, you shouldn't uncomment the line.  Doing so may cause
        run-time problems.  In some cases "none" refers to no default
        setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid
        option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
        case.

COMMENT_START
  Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
  Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards is
  supported.

  For example,

  include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config

  Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
  This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
  from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
  configuration files.


  Conditional configuration

        If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
        depend on conditions:

            if <CONDITION>
                ... regular configuration directives ...
            [else
                ... regular configuration directives ...]
            endif

        The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
        must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
        configuration directives.

        These individual conditions types are supported:

            true
                Always evaluates to true.
            false
                Always evaluates to false.
            <integer> = <integer>
                Equality comparison of two integer numbers.


  SMP-Related Macros

        The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.

        ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
        (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).

        ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
        identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
        across all Squid processes.

 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT_END

NAME: auth_param
TYPE: authparam
LOC: Auth::TheConfig
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
        schemes supported by Squid.

        format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]

        The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
        dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
        has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
        scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
        schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
        settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
        recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
        put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
        program entry).

        Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
        shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
        the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
        different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.

        Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
        authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
        To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
        on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
        external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
        challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
        in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
        login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
        type acl.

        WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
        proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
        not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
        transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
        Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
        authentication disabled.

        === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external authenticator.  Such a program
        reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
        "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
        by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
        If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
        proxy_auth.

        By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
        program is specified.

        If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
        this line to something like

        auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd

        "utf8" on|off
        HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
        backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
        translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
        username & password to the helper.

        "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
        The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
        Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
        verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
        done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
        authenticator processes.

        The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
        run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
        Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
        traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
        the maximum.

        The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
        helper can process.  The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
        supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
        0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
        request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
        same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
        Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

        auth_param basic children 20 startup=0 idle=1

        "realm" realmstring
        Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
        client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
        the text the user will see when prompted their username and
        password). There is no default.
        auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server

        "credentialsttl" timetolive
        Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
        username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
        often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
        low to force revalidation with short lived passwords.  Note
        setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
        to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
        system (such as SecureID).  If you are using such a system,
        you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
        use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.

        "casesensitive" on|off
        Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
        case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
        lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
        makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
        auth_param basic casesensitive off

        === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external authenticator.  Such
        a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
        replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
        ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
        See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
        "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
        available as %m in the returned error page.

        By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
        program is specified.

        If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
        something like

        auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_pw_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass

        "utf8" on|off
        HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
        backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
        translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
        username & password to the helper.

        "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
        The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
        If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
        process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
        When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
        you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.

        The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
        run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
        Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
        traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
        the maximum.

        The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
        helper can process.  The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
        supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
        0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
        request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
        same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
        Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.

        auth_param digest children 20 startup=0 idle=1

        "realm" realmstring
        Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
        client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
        the text the user will see when prompted their username and
        password). There is no default.
        auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server

        "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
        Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
        to client_agent's are checked for validity.

        "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
        Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
        valid for.

        "nonce_max_count" number
        Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
        used.

        "nonce_strictness" on|off
        Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
        for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
        useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
        (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.

        "check_nonce_count" on|off
        This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
        completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
        certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
        nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.

        "post_workaround" on|off
        This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
        an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
        the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.

        === NTLM scheme options follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
        Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
        the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
        If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
        of type proxy_auth.  By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
        is not used.

        auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth

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

        The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
        run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
        Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
        traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
        the maximum.

        auth_param ntlm children 20 startup=0 idle=1

        "keep_alive" on|off
        If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
        Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
        off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
        the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
        supported by the proxy.

        auth_param ntlm keep_alive on

        === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===

        "program" cmdline
        Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
        This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
        the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
        Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
        using the Kerberos mechanisms.
        If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least
        one acl of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate
        authenticator_program is not used.
        The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
        program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.

        auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego

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

        The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
        run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
        Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
        traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
        the maximum.

        auth_param negotiate children 20 startup=0 idle=1

        "keep_alive" on|off
        If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
        Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
        off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
        the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
        supported by the proxy.

NAME: authenticate_cache_garbage_interval
TYPE: time_t
DEFAULT: 1 hour
LOC: Config.authenticateGCInterval
DOC_START
        The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.
        This is a tradeoff between memory utilization (long intervals - say
        2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you
        have good reason to.
DOC_END

NAME: authenticate_ttl
TYPE: time_t
DEFAULT: 1 hour
LOC: Config.authenticateTTL
DOC_START
        The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in
        user cache since their last request. When the garbage
        interval passes, all user credentials that have passed their
        TTL are removed from memory.
DOC_END

NAME: authenticate_ip_ttl
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.authenticateIpTTL
DEFAULT: 0 seconds
DOC_START
        If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
        this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
        addresses associated with each user.  Use a small value
        (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
        quickly, as is the case with dialups.   You might be safe
        using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
        environment with relatively static address assignments.

                        character.

        In addition to the above, any string specified in the referencing
        acl will also be included in the helper request line, after the
        specified formats (see the "acl external" directive)

        The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
        and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
        of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with
        more details.

        General result syntax:

          OK/ERR keyword=value ...

        Defined keywords:

          user=         The users name (login)
          password=     The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
          message=      Message describing the reason. Available as %o
                        in error pages
          tag=          Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
                        Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
          log=          String to be logged in access.log. Available as
                        %ea in logformat specifications

        If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
        each value in both requests and responses.

        If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
        if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
        And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.

        When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
        introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
        The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

        Defining an Access List

        Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype, 
        followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that
        they are read from.

           acl aclname acltype argument ...
           acl aclname acltype "file" ...

        When using "file", the file should contain one item per line.

        By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE.  To make
        them case-insensitive, use the -i option.

        Some acl types require suspending the current request in order
        to access some external data source.
        Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which
        don't are marked as [fast].
        See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl

NAME: follow_x_forwarded_for

IFDEF: FOLLOW_X_FORWARDED_FOR
LOC: Config.accessList.followXFF
DEFAULT_IF_NONE: deny all
DOC_START
        Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
        find the original source of a request.

        Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
        before reaching us.  The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
        comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
        rightmost address being the most recent.

        If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
        configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
        to see where that host received the request from.  If the
        X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
        backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
        to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
        address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
        follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
        the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.

        The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
        refer to as the indirect client address.  This address may
        be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
        pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
        icap_uses_indirect_client, delay_pool_uses_indirect_client, 
        log_uses_indirect_client and tproxy_uses_indirect_client options.

        This clause only supports fast acl types.
        See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details.

        SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:

                Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
                can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
                will use the incorrect information as if it were the
                source address of the request.  This may enable remote
                hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
                based on the client's source addresses.

        For example:

                acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
                acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com
                follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost

        NOTE on default values:

        If there are no "access" lines present, the default is to deny
        the request.

        If none of the "access" lines cause a match, the default is the
        opposite of the last line in the list.  If the last line was
        deny, the default is allow.  Conversely, if the last line
        is allow, the default will be deny.  For these reasons, it is a

        lists to avoid potential confusion.

        Essentially identical to http_access, but runs after redirectors
        and ICAP/eCAP adaptation. Allowing access control based on their
        output.

        Allow replies to client requests. This is complementary to http_access.

        http_reply_access allow|deny [!] aclname ...

        NOTE: if there are no access lines present, the default is to allow
        all replies

        If none of the access lines cause a match the opposite of the
        last line will apply. Thus it is good practice to end the rules
        with an "allow all" or "deny all" entry.

LOC: Ident::TheConfig.identLookup
DOC_START
        A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause an ident
        (RFC 931) lookup to be performed for this request.  For
        example, you might choose to always perform ident lookups
        for your main multi-user Unix boxes, but not for your Macs
        and PCs.  By default, ident lookups are not performed for
        any requests.

        To enable ident lookups for specific client addresses, you
        can follow this example:

        acl ident_aware_hosts src 198.168.1.0/24
        ident_lookup_access allow ident_aware_hosts
        ident_lookup_access deny all

        Only src type ACL checks are fully supported.  A srcdomain
        ACL might work at times, but it will not always provide
        the correct result.

NAME: reply_body_max_size
COMMENT: size [acl acl...]
TYPE: acl_b_size_t
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
DOC_START
        This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
        used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
        MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
        reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
        all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
        for this reply.

        This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
        we check the content-length value.  If the content length value exists
        and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
        user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
        is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
        size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
        and they will receive a partial reply.

        WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
        if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
        partial responses and give them out as hits.  You should NOT
        use this option if you have downstream caches.

        WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
        will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
        non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
        the size of your largest error page.

        If you set this parameter none (the default), there will be
        no limit imposed.

        Configuration Format is:

        Usage:  port [mode] [options]
                hostname:port [mode] [options]
                1.2.3.4:port [mode] [options]

        The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
        requests.  You may specify multiple socket addresses.
        There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
        IP address with port.  If you specify a hostname or IP
        address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
        address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
        address, so you can use the port number alone.

        If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
        probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.

        The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
        port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
        be plain proxy ports with no options.

        You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.

        Modes:

           intercept    Support for IP-Layer interception of
                        outgoing requests without browser settings.
                        NP: disables authentication and IPv6 on the port.

           tproxy       Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing
                        connections using the client IP address.
                        NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port.

           accel        Accelerator mode. Also needs at least one of
                        vhost / vport / defaultsite.

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

                        The ssl_bump option is required to fully enable
                        the SslBump feature.

        Omitting the mode flag causes default forward proxy mode to be used.


        Accelerator Mode Options:

           allow-direct Allow direct forwarding in accelerator mode. Normally
                        accelerated requests are denied direct forwarding as if
                        never_direct was used.

           defaultsite=domainname
                        What to use for the Host: header if it is not present
                        in a request. Determines what site (not origin server)
                        accelerators should consider the default.
                        Implies accel.

           vhost        Using the Host header for virtual domain support.
                        Also uses the port as specified in Host: header.

           vport        IP based virtual host support. Using the http_port number
                        in passed on Host: headers.

           vport=NN     Uses the specified port number rather than the
                        http_port number.

           protocol=    Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with.
                        Defaults to http://.

           ignore-cc    Ignore request Cache-Control headers.

                        Warning: This option violates HTTP specifications if
                        used in non-accelerator setups.

           sslcontext=  SSL session ID context identifier.

           generate-host-certificates[=<on|off>]
                        Dynamically create SSL server certificates for the
                        destination hosts of bumped CONNECT requests.When 
                        enabled, the cert and key options are used to sign
                        generated certificates. Otherwise generated
                        certificate will be selfsigned.
                        If there is CA certificate life time of generated 
                        certificate equals lifetime of CA certificate. If
                        generated certificate is selfsigned lifetime is three 
                        years.
                        This option is enabled by default when SslBump is used.

           dynamic_cert_mem_cache_size=SIZE
                        Approximate total RAM size spent on cached generated
                        certificates. If set to zero, caching is disabled. The
                        default value is 4MB. An average XXX-bit certificate
                        consumes about XXX bytes of RAM.

        Other Options:

           connection-auth[=on|off]
                        use connection-auth=off to tell Squid to prevent 
                        forwarding Microsoft connection oriented authentication
                        (NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos)

           disable-pmtu-discovery=
                        Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
                            off         lets OS decide on what to do (default).
                            transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
                                        support is enabled.
                            always      disable always PMTU discovery.

                        In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
                        Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
                        clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
                        does not fully track connections and fails to forward
                        ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
                        have such setup and experience that certain clients
                        sporadically hang or never complete requests set
                        disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.

           name=        Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
                        the port specification (port or addr:port)

           tcpkeepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]
                        Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections.
                        In seconds; idle is the initial time before TCP starts
                        probing the connection, interval how often to probe, and
                        timeout the time before giving up.

        If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
        and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
        internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
        visible on the internal address.

NAME: qos_flows

IFDEF: USE_QOS_TOS
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Ip::Qos::TheConfig
DOC_START
        Allows you to select a TOS/DSCP value to mark outgoing
        connections with, based on where the reply was sourced. For
        platforms using netfilter, allows you to set a netfilter mark
        value instead of, or in addition to, a TOS value.

        TOS values really only have local significance - so you should
        know what you're specifying. For more information, see RFC2474,
        RFC2475, and RFC3260.

        The TOS/DSCP byte must be exactly that - a octet value  0 - 255. Note that
        in practice often only multiples of 4 is usable as the two rightmost bits
        have been redefined for use by ECN (RFC 3168 section 23.1).

        Mark values can be any unsigned 32-bit integer value.

        This setting is configured by setting the following values:

        tos|mark                Whether to set TOS or netfilter mark values

        local-hit=0xFF          Value to mark local cache hits.

        sibling-hit=0xFF        Value to mark hits from sibling peers.

        parent-hit=0xFF         Value to mark hits from parent peers.

        miss=0xFF               Value to mark cache misses. Takes precedence
                                over the preserve-miss feature (see below).

        The TOS variant of the following features are only possible on Linux
        and require your kernel to be patched with the TOS preserving ZPH
        patch, available from http://zph.bratcheda.org
        No patch is needed to preserve the netfilter mark, which will work
        with all variants of netfilter.

        disable-preserve-miss
                This option disables the preservation of the TOS or netfilter
                mark. By default, the existing TOS or netfilter mark value of
                the response coming from the remote server will be retained
                and masked with miss-mark.
                NOTE: in the case of a netfilter mark, the mark must be set on
                the connection (using the CONNMARK target) not on the packet
                (MARK target).

        miss-mask=0xFF
                Allows you to mask certain bits in the TOS or mark value
                received from the remote server, before copying the value to
                the TOS sent towards clients.
                Default for tos: 0xFF (TOS from server is not changed).
                Default for mark: 0xFFFFFFFF (mark from server is not changed).

        All of these features require the --enable-zph-qos compilation flag
        (enabled by default). Netfilter marking also requires the
        libnetfilter_conntrack libraries (--with-netfilter-conntrack) and
        libcap 2.09+ (--with-libcap).

NAME: tcp_outgoing_address

DOC_START
        Allows you to map requests to different outgoing IP addresses
        based on the username or source address of the user making
        the request.

        tcp_outgoing_address ipaddr [[!]aclname] ...

        Example where requests from 10.0.0.0/24 will be forwarded
        with source address 10.1.0.1, 10.0.2.0/24 forwarded with
        source address 10.1.0.2 and the rest will be forwarded with
        source address 10.1.0.3.

        acl normal_service_net src 10.0.0.0/24
        acl good_service_net src 10.0.2.0/24
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.1 normal_service_net
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.2 good_service_net
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.3

        Processing proceeds in the order specified, and stops at first fully
        matching line.

        Note: The use of this directive using client dependent ACLs is
        incompatible with the use of server side persistent connections. To
        ensure correct results it is best to set server_persistent_connections
        to off when using this directive in such configurations.

        Note: The use of this directive to set a local IP on outgoing TCP links
        is incompatible with using TPROXY to set client IP out outbound TCP links.
        When needing to contact peers use the no-tproxy cache_peer option to
        re-enable normal forwarding such as this.

        IPv6 Magic:

        Squid is built with a capability of bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 
        internets.
        tcp_outgoing_address as exampled above breaks this bridging by forcing
        all outbound traffic through a certain IPv4 which may be on the wrong
        side of the IPv4/IPv6 boundary.

        To operate with tcp_outgoing_address and keep the bridging benefits
        an additional ACL needs to be used which ensures the IPv6-bound traffic
        is never forced or permitted out the IPv4 interface.

        acl to_ipv6 dst ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 2002::c001 good_service_net to_ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.2 good_service_net !to_ipv6

        tcp_outgoing_address 2002::beef normal_service_net to_ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.1 normal_service_net !to_ipv6

        tcp_outgoing_address 2002::1 to_ipv6
        tcp_outgoing_address 10.1.0.3 !to_ipv6

        WARNING:
          'dst ipv6' bases its selection assuming DIRECT access.
          If peers are used the peername ACL are needed to select outgoing
          address which can link to the peer.

          'dst ipv6' is a slow ACL. It will only work here if 'dst' is used
          previously in the http_access rules to locate the destination IP.
          Some more magic may be needed for that:
            http_access allow to_ipv6 !all
          (meaning, allow if to IPv6 but not from anywhere ;)

        cache_peer parent.foo.net       parent    3128  3130  default
        cache_peer sib1.foo.net         sibling   3128  3130  proxy-only

        cache_peer example.com          parent    80       0  no-query default
        cache_peer cdn.example.com      sibling   3128     0  
        
              type:     either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
        
        proxy-port:     The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
                        For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
                        For web servers this is usually 80
        
          icp-port:     Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
                        Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
                        See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
        
        
        ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
        
        You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
        The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
        
        
        no-query        Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
        
        multicast-responder
                        Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
                        ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
                        replies will be accepted from it.
        
        closest-only    Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
                        CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
        
        background-ping
                        To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
                        This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
                        and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
        
        
        ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
        
        You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
        The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
        
        
        htcp            Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
                        You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
                        instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
                        list of options described below.
        
        htcp=oldsquid   Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
        
        htcp=no-clr     Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
                        sending any CLR requests.  This cannot be used with
                        only-clr.
        
        htcp=only-clr   Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
                        This cannot be used with no-clr.
        
        htcp=no-purge-clr
                        Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
                        they do not result from PURGE requests.
        
        htcp=forward-clr
                        Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
        
        
        ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
        
        The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
        being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
        
        
        default         This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
                        if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
                        If specified more than once, only the first is used.
        
        round-robin     Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
                        fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
                        weight=N can be used to add bias.
        
        weighted-round-robin
                        Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
                        fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
                        round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
                        Usually used for background-ping parents.
                        weight=N can be used to add bias.
        
        carp            Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
                        The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
                        CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
        
        userhash        Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
        
        sourcehash      Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.

        multicast-siblings
                        To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
                        ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
                        relationship with it, not "parent".  This is to a mulicast
                        group when the requested object would be fetched only from
                        a "parent" cache, anyway.  It's useful, e.g., when
                        configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
                        members of the same multicast group.
        
        
        ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
        
        weight=N        use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
                        peer-selection mechanisms.
                        The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
                        larger weights are favored more.
                        This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
                        protocol is not in use.
        
        basetime=N      Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
                        times of parents.
                        It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
                        which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
                        base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
        
        ttl=N           Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
                        to this address.
                        Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
                        Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
                        hosts, you must configure other group members as
                        peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
        
        no-delay        To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
                        delay pools.
        
        digest-url=URL  Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
                        enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
                        than the Squid default location.
        
        
        ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
        
        originserver    Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
                        Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
                        is a web server.
        
        forceddomain=name
                        Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
                        Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
                        expects a certain domain name but clients may request
                        others. ie example.com or www.example.com
        
        no-digest       Disable request of cache digests.
        
        no-netdb-exchange
                        Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
        
        
        ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
        
        login=user:password
                        If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
                        requires proxy authentication.
                        
                        Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
                        spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
        
        login=PASSTHRU
                        Send login details received from client to this peer.
                        Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
                        without alteration to the peer.
                        Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
                        
                        Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
                        only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
                        connection-auth options are also used.

        login=PASS      Send login details received from client to this peer.
                        Authentication is not required by this option.
                        
                        If there are no client-provided authentication headers
                        to pass on, but username and password are available
                        from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
                        they may be sent instead.
                        
                        Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
                        share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
                        a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
                        Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
                        password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
        
        login=*:password
                        Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
                        fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
                        is in another administrative domain, but it is still
                        needed to identify each user.
                        The star can optionally be followed by some extra
                        information which is added to the username. This can
                        be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
                        the login=username:password option above.
        
        login=NEGOTIATE
                        If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
                        requires a secure proxy authentication.
                        The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
                        the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used. 
        
        login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
                        If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
                        requires a secure proxy authentication. 
                        The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
                        defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
                        used.
        
        connection-auth=on|off
                        Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
                        connection oriented authentication, and any such
                        challenges received from there should be ignored.
                        Default is auto to automatically determine the status
                        of the peer.
        
        
        ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ====
        
        ssl             Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS.
        
        sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate

                        this peer.
        
        sslkey=/path/to/ssl/key
                        The private SSL key corresponding to sslcert above.
                        If 'sslkey' is not specified 'sslcert' is assumed to
                        reference a combined file containing both the
                        certificate and the key.
        
        sslversion=1|2|3|4
                        The SSL version to use when connecting to this peer
                                1 = automatic (default)
                                2 = SSL v2 only
                                3 = SSL v3 only

                                NO_SSLv2  Disallow the use of SSLv2
                                NO_SSLv3  Disallow the use of SSLv3
                                NO_TLSv1  Disallow the use of TLSv1
                        See src/ssl_support.c or the OpenSSL documentation for
                        a more complete list.
        
        sslcafile=...   A file containing additional CA certificates to use

                        verifying the peer certificate.
        
        sslflags=...    Specify various flags modifying the SSL implementation:
        
                        DONT_VERIFY_PEER
                                Accept certificates even if they fail to
                                verify.
                        NO_DEFAULT_CA
                                Don't use the default CA list built in
                                to OpenSSL.
                        DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN
                                Don't verify the peer certificate
                                matches the server name
        
        ssldomain=      The peer name as advertised in it's certificate.
                        Used for verifying the correctness of the received peer
                        certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
                        used.
        
        front-end-https
                        Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
                        using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
                        See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
                        If set to auto the header will only be added if the
                        request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
        
        
        ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
        
        connect-timeout=N
                        A peer-specific connect timeout.
                        Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
        
        connect-fail-limit=N
                        How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
                        it is marked as down. Default is 10.
        
        allow-miss      Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
                        requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
                        icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
                        of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
                        should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
                        For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
                        by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
        
        max-conn=N      Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
                        peer. see also 
        
        name=xxx        Unique name for the peer.
                        Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
                        but different ports.
                        This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
                        directives to dentify the peer.
                        Can be used by outgoing access controls through the

        Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be
        queried.  Usage:

        cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
        cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain

        For example, specifying

                cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net        .edu

        has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
        'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
        server in the .edu domain.  Prefixing the domainname
        with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects
        NOT in that domain.

        NOTE:   * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
                  either on the same or separate lines.
                * When multiple domains are given for a particular
                  cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
                * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
                  for all requests.
                * There are no defaults.
                * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL

        Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which

NAME: dead_peer_timeout

DEFAULT: 10 seconds
TYPE: time_t
LOC: Config.Timeout.deadPeer
DOC_START
        This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
        as "dead."  If there are no ICP replies received in this
        amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
        expect to receive any further ICP replies.  However, it
        continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
        alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.

        This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
        replies from peers.  If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
        passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
        expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query.  Thus, if
        your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
        will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

 MEMORY CACHE OPTIONS

COMMENT: (bytes)
TYPE: b_size_t
DEFAULT: 256 MB
LOC: Config.memMaxSize
DOC_START
        NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
        IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
        USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
        THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.

        'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
        for:
                * In-Transit objects
                * Hot Objects
                * Negative-Cached objects

        Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks.  This
        parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
        4 KB blocks allocated.  In-Transit objects take the highest
        priority.

        In-transit objects have priority over the others.  When
        additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
        and hot objects will be released.  In other words, the
        negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
        not needed for in-transit objects.

        If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
        Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
        'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
        exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests.  When the load
        decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
        reached.  Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
        objects.

NAME: cache_replacement_policy
TYPE: removalpolicy

DEFAULT: lru
DOC_START
        The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
        objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.

            lru       : Squid's original list based LRU policy
            heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
            heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
            heap LRU  : LRU policy implemented using a heap

        Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.

        The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.

        The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
        popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
        hit.  It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
        it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.

        The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
        their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
        hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
        smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.

        Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
        cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
        replacement policies.

        NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
        the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
        to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

NAME: cache_dir
TYPE: cachedir
DEFAULT: none
LOC: Config.cacheSwap
DOC_START
        Usage:

        cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]

        You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
        cache among different disk partitions.

        Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
        is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
        see the --enable-storeio configure option.

        'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
        files will be stored.  If you want to use an entire disk
        for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
        The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
        process.  Squid will NOT create this directory for you.

        In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option
        and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each
        worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory.

        The ufs store type:

        "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
        been there.

        cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]

        'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
        directory.  The default is 100 MB.  Change this to suit your
        configuration.  Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
        Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
        subtract 20% and use that value.

        'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
        will be created under the 'Directory'.  The default is 16.

        'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
        will be created under each first-level directory.  The default
        is 256.

        The aufs store type:

        "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
        POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
        disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.

        cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]

        see argument descriptions under ufs above

        The diskd store type:

        "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
        separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
        disk-I/O.

        cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]

        see argument descriptions under ufs above

        Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
        stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
        Squid won't open new files. Default is 64

        Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
        starts blocking.  If this many messages are in the queues,
        Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72

        When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
        for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
        ratio.  If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
        higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
        time.

        The coss store type:

        NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
            production use and has thus been removed from this release.
            We hope that it can be made usable again soon.

        block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
        Squid uses file numbers as block numbers.  Since file numbers
        are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
        size of the COSS partition.  The default is 512 bytes, which
        leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB.  Note
        you should not change the coss block size after Squid
        has written some objects to the cache_dir.

        The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
        called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
        this will be created by squid -z.

        Common options:

        no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir

        max-size=n, refers to the max object size this storedir supports.
        It is used to initially choose the storedir to dump the object.
        Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
        the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
        ones with no max-size specification last.

        Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
        which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
        option.

        low-water mark.  As swap utilization gets close to high-water
        mark object eviction becomes more aggressive.  If utilization is

                                and stops when the last response byte is received.

                                sent to the first selected peer. The timer stops
                                with the last I/O with the last peer.

        If ICAP is enabled, the following two codes become available (as
        well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):

                icap::tt        Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
                                transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
                                ACLs are checked and when ICAP
                                transaction is in progress.

                icap::<last_h   The header of the last ICAP response
                                related to the HTTP transaction. Like
                                <h, accepts an optional header name
                                argument.  Will not change semantics
                                when multiple ICAP transactions per HTTP
                                transaction are supported.

        If adaptation is enabled the following two codes become available:

                adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
                                times recorded as a comma-separated list in
                                the order of transaction start time. Each time
                                value is recorded as an integer number,
                                representing response time of one or more
                                adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
                                milliseconds.  When a failed transaction is
                                being retried or repeated, its time is not
                                logged individually but added to the
                                replacement (next) transaction. See also:
                                adapt::all_trs.

                adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
                                Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
                                individual transactions are never added
                                together. Instead, all transaction response
                                times are recorded individually.

        You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
        service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
        to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs

        The default formats available (which do not need re-defining) are:

logformat squid %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %un %Sh/%<A %mt
logformat squidmime %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %un %Sh/%<A %mt [%>h] [%<h]

IFDEF: ICAP_CLIENT
LOC: Config.Log.icaplogs
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
        transaction.

        The icap_log option format is:
        icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
        icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
        
        Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
        kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
        features.

        ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
        require multiple ICAP transactions.  In such cases, multiple
        ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
        log line.

        ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
        transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
        embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
        For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
        server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
        request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
        OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.

        The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:

                icap::<A        ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.

                icap::<service_name     ICAP service name from the icap_service
                                option in Squid configuration file.

                icap::ru        ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.

                icap::rm        ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or 
                                OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.

                icap::>st       Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
                                only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).

                icap::<st       Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
                                payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
                                the socket).

                icap::<bs       Number of message body bytes received from the
                                ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
                                includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
                                possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
                                HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
                                computed.

                icap::tr        Transaction response time (in
                                milliseconds).  The timer starts when
                                the ICAP transaction is created and
                                stops when the transaction is completed.
                                Similar to tr.

                icap::tio       Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
                                timer starts when the first ICAP request
                                byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
                                stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
                                is received.

                icap::to        Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
                                transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
                                transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
                                responses, ICAP_MOD for message
                                modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
                                satisfaction. Similar to Ss.

                icap::Hs        ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.

                icap::>h        ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.

                icap::<h        ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.

        The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
        definition, is called icap_squid:

logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A -

NAME: cache_swap_state cache_swap_log
TYPE: string
LOC: Config.Log.swap
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds
        the metadata of objects saved on disk.  It is used to rebuild
        the cache during startup.  Normally this file resides in each
        'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
        pathname here.  Note you must give a full filename, not just
        a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
        list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!

        If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
        a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
        with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
        lines when cache_swap_log is being used.

        If have more than one 'cache_dir', and %s is not used in the name
        these swap logs will have names such as:

                cache_swap_log.00
                cache_swap_log.01
                cache_swap_log.02

        The numbered extension (which is added automatically)
        corresponds to the order of the 'cache_dir' lines in this
        configuration file.  If you change the order of the 'cache_dir'
        lines in this file, these index files will NOT correspond to
        the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename
        them).  We recommend you do NOT use this option.  It is
        better to keep these index files in each 'cache_dir' directory.

NAME: logfile_rotate
TYPE: int

        Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you

        with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will
        disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed
        and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
        yourself just before sending the rotate signal.

        Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
        signal to the running squid process.  In certain situations
        (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
        purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal.  It is best to get
        in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1
        <pid>'.

        Note, from Squid-3.1 this option has no effect on the cache.log,
        that log can be rotated separately by using debug_options

        the request line does not need to be returned (ignored if they are).

        The rewriter can also indicate that a client-side redirect should

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

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

        'Percent' is a percentage of the objects age (time since last
        modification age) an object without explicit expiry time
        will be considered fresh.

        'Max' is an upper limit on how long objects without an explicit
        expiry time will be considered fresh.

                override-expire enforces min age even if the server
                sent an explicit expiry time (e.g., with the
                Expires: header or Cache-Control: max-age). Doing this
                VIOLATES the HTTP standard.  Enabling this feature
                could make you liable for problems which it causes.

                Note: override-expire does not enforce staleness - it only extends
                freshness / min. If the server returns a Expires time which
                is longer than your max time, Squid will still consider
                the object fresh for that period of time.

                override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
                that were modified recently.

                reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload''
                to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the

                it causes.

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

                ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
                headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
                the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-must-revalidate ignores any ``Cache-Control: must-revalidate``
                headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
                the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
                headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
                the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
                liable for problems which it causes.

                ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,
                as if the originserver had sent ``Cache-control: public''
                in the response header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard.
                Enabling this feature could make you liable for problems which
                it causes.

                refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
                when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
                ensures that the client will receive an updated version
                if one is available.

                store-stale stores responses even if they don't have explicit 
                freshness or a validator (i.e., Last-Modified or an ETag) 
                present, or if they're already stale. By default, Squid will 
                not cache such responses because they usually can't be
                reused. Note that such responses will be stale by default.

        Basically a cached object is:

                FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
                STALE if age > max
                FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
                FRESH if age < min
                else STALE

        The refresh_pattern lines are checked in the order listed here.
        The first entry which matches is used.  If none of the entries

        The cache by default continues downloading aborted requests

        caches.  Impatient users may tie up file descriptors and
        bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and immediately aborting
        downloads.

        When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the
        quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
        then.

        If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,

        If beyond this limit, Squid forwards the Range request as it is and

        This is to stop a far ahead range request (lets say start at 17MB)
        from making Squid fetch the whole object up to that point before
        sending anything to the client.
        
        Multiple range_offset_limit lines may be specified, and they will 
        be searched from top to bottom on each request until a match is found.

        'units' specifies whether to use bytes, KB, MB, etc.
        If no units are specified bytes are assumed.
        
        A size of 0 causes Squid to never fetch more than the

        'aclname' is the name of a defined ACL.
        
        NP: Using 'none' as the byte value here will override any quick_abort settings

LOC: Config.maxChunkedRequestBodySize
DOC_START
        A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
        request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
        feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
        entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
        plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
        request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.

        The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
        to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
        request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
        fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
        as if dechunking was disabled.

        Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
        chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.

        Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
        temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
        supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

        Some HTTP servers has broken implementations of PUT/POST,
        and rely on an extra CRLF pair sent by some WWW clients.

        Quote from RFC2616 section 4.1 on this matter:

          Note: certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations generate an
          extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly
          forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow
          a request with an extra CRLF.

        This clause only supports fast acl types.

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

        The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
        remain connected to the cache process.  This protects the Cache
        from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
        in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
        properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
        because of a poor client implementation).  The default is one
        day, 1440 minutes.

        NOTE:  The default value is intended to be much larger than any
        client would ever need to be connected to your cache.  You
        should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
        If you seem to have many client connections tying up
        filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,
        request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values.

        Change this option to 'on' and Squid will keep open connections
        until a read(2) or write(2) on the socket returns an error.

 OPTIONS FOR THE CACHE REGISTRATION SERVICE
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

        This section contains parameters for the (optional) cache
        announcement service.  This service is provided to help
        cache administrators locate one another in order to join or
        create cache hierarchies.

        An 'announcement' message is sent (via UDP) to the registration
        service by Squid.  By default, the announcement message is NOT
        SENT unless you enable it with 'announce_period' below.

        The announcement message includes your hostname, plus the
        following information from this configuration file:

                http_port
                icp_port
                cache_mgr

        All current information is processed regularly and made

        This defines the class of each delay pool.  There must be exactly one
        delay_class line for each delay pool.  For example, to define two
        delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above
        and here would be:

        Example:
            delay_pools 4      # 4 delay pools
            delay_class 1 2    # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
            delay_class 2 3    # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
            delay_class 3 4    # pool 3 is a class 4 pool
            delay_class 4 5    # pool 4 is a class 5 pool

        The delay pool classes are:

                class 1         Everything is limited by a single aggregate
                                bucket.

                class 2         Everything is limited by a single aggregate
                                bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
                                from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.

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

                class 4         Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
                                additional limit on a per user basis. This
                                only takes effect if the username is established
                                in advance - by forcing authentication in your
                                http_access rules.

                class 5         Requests are grouped according their tag (see
                                external_acl's tag= reply).

        NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
                -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
                -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
                -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

        NOTE-2: Due to the use of bitmasks in class 2,3,4 pools they only apply to
                IPv4 traffic. Class 1 and 5 pools may be used with IPv6 traffic.

IFDEF: USE_DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay

        This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.

        delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
        then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
        request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
        the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).

        For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
        pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:

Example:
 delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
 delay_access 1 deny all
 delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients
 delay_access 2 deny all

NAME: delay_parameters

IFDEF: USE_DELAY_POOLS
LOC: Config.Delay
DOC_START
        This defines the parameters for a delay pool.  Each delay pool has
        a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
        description of delay_class.  For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:

delay_parameters pool aggregate

        For a class 2 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate individual

        For a class 3 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual

        For a class 4 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user

        For a class 5 delay pool:

delay_parameters pool tag

        The variables here are:

                pool            a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
                                number specified in delay_pools as used in
                                delay_class lines.

                aggregate       the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
                                (class 1, 2, 3).

                individual      the "delay parameters" for the individual
                                buckets (class 2, 3).

                network         the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
                                (class 3).

                user            the delay parameters for the user buckets
                                (class 4).

                tag             the delay parameters for the tag buckets
                                (class 5).

        A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
        the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
        quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
        maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.

        For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
        above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
        (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000

        Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".

        And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
        example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
        with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
        individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
        to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
        (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
        large downloads more significantly:

delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000

        There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.

        Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
        be limited to 128Kb no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:

delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

        All client_delay_access options are checked in their pool ID
        order, starting with pool 1. The first checked pool with allowed
        request is selected for the request. If no ACL matches or there
        are no client_delay_access options, the request bandwidth is not
        limited.

        The ACL-selected pool is then used to find the
        client_delay_parameters for the request. Client-side pools are
        not used to aggregate clients. Clients are always aggregated
        based on their source IP addresses (one bucket per source IP).

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

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

        compatible, causing significant delays. This server problem
        has mostly been seen on redirects.

        By enabling this directive Squid attempts to detect such
        broken replies and automatically assume the reply is finished

        snmp_incoming_address   is used for the SNMP socket receiving
                                messages from SNMP agents.
        snmp_outgoing_address   is used for SNMP packets returned to SNMP

        ICP (use cache_peer for that).  ICP replies are always sent via

        This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
        do not pass the 'http_access' rules.  Squid remembers the last
        acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
        for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.

        The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
        denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
        - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
          the first authentication related acl encountered
        - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
          acl processed on the last http_access line.

        NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
            you may also specify them by your custom file name:
            Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys

        Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection
        by specifying TCP_RESET.

        Or you can specify an error URL or URL pattern. The browsers will
        get redirected (302) to the specified URL after formatting tags have
        been replaced.

        URL FORMAT TAGS:
                %a      - username (if available. Password NOT included)

        By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests
        (matching hierarchy_stoplist or not cacheable request type) direct
        to origin servers.

        If you set this to off, Squid will prefer to send these
        requests to parents.

        Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
        add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit
        ratio.

        If you are inside an firewall see never_direct instead of
        this directive.

        Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some
        reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if
        going direct fails set this to on.

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

        Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see
        the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid
        acts on cacheable requests.

DOC_START
        Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

        Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
        ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
        any peers.  For example, to always directly forward requests for
        local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
        something like:

                acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
                always_direct allow local-servers

        To always forward FTP requests directly, use

                acl FTP proto FTP
                always_direct allow FTP

        NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
        'never_direct'.  You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
        foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo".  You
        may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
        some other rule.  Example:

                acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
                acl local-servers dstdomain  .foo.net
                always_direct deny local-external
                always_direct allow local-servers

        NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
        directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
        to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
        can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.

        NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
        is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
        the replies see the 'cache' directive.

        This clause supports both fast and slow acl types.
        See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details.

        Usage: never_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...

        never_direct is the opposite of always_direct.  Please read
        the description for always_direct if you have not already.

        With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
        requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
        servers.  For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
        requests, except those in your local domain use something like:

                acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
                never_direct deny local-servers
                never_direct allow all

        or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
        servers inside the firewall use something like:

                acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
                acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
                always_direct deny local-external
                always_direct allow local-intranet
                never_direct allow all

        This clause supports both fast and slow acl types.

        FreeBSD and requires support in the kernel.

        The 'httpready' filter delays delivering new connections
        to Squid until a full HTTP request has been received.
        See the accf_http(9) man page for details.

        The 'dataready' filter delays delivering new connections
        to Squid until there is some data to process.
        See the accf_dataready(9) man page for details.

        Linux:
        
        The 'data' filter delays delivering of new connections
        to Squid until there is some data to process by TCP_ACCEPT_DEFER.
        You may optionally specify a number of seconds to wait by
        'data=N' where N is the number of seconds. Defaults to 30

TYPE: icap_service_failure_limit
IFDEF: ICAP_CLIENT
LOC: Adaptation::Icap::TheConfig

DOC_START
        The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates
        when establishing a new TCP connection with an ICAP service. If
        the number of failures exceeds the limit, the ICAP service is
        not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its
        OPTIONS.

        A negative value disables the limit. Without the limit, an ICAP
        service will not be considered down due to connectivity failures
        between ICAP OPTIONS requests.

        Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
        value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm 
        is approximate because Squid does not remember individual 
        errors but groups them instead, splitting the option
        value into ten time slots of equal length.

        When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no 
        effect on service failure expiration.

        Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings
        using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option
        setting.

        For example,
                # suspend service usage after 10 failures in 5 seconds:
                icap_service_failure_limit 10 in 5 seconds

        fetched.

        The actual delay cannot be smaller than the hardcoded minimum

        The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the
        HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body
        or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments, 
        previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.

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

        206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the

        content. The decision to combine is postponed until the end of the
        ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default.

        Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each
        ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle
        negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but
        some might fail. To disable Partial Content support for all ICAP

        Defines a single ICAP service using the following format:

        icap_service service_name vectoring_point [options] service_url

        service_name: ID
                an opaque identifier which must be unique in squid.conf

        vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache
                This specifies at which point of transaction processing the
                ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
                are not yet supported.

        service_url: icap://servername:port/servicepath
                ICAP server and service location.

        ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
        transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
        services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
        can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
        service_names differ.


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

        bypass=on|off|1|0
                If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
                optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
                Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
                if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
                bypassed.  If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
                essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
                returned to the HTTP client.

                Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.

        routing=on|off|1|0
                If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
                dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
                returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
                are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
                value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
                Each named service should be configured in squid.conf and
                should have the same method and vectoring point as the current
                ICAP transaction.  Services violating these rules are ignored.
                An empty X-Next-Services value results in an empty plan which
                ends the current adaptation. 

                Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
                response header is ignored.

        ipv6=on|off
                Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
                is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
                make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.

        Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is
        deprecated but supported for backward compatibility.

Example:
icap_service svcBlocker reqmod_precache bypass=0 icap://icap1.mydomain.net:1344/reqmod
icap_service svcLogger reqmod_precache routing=on icap://icap2.mydomain.net:1344/respmod

        Configures an ordered set of similar, redundant services. This is
        useful when hot standby or backup adaptation servers are available.

            adaptation_service_set set_name service_name1 service_name2 ...

        The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first
        applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next
        applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the
        previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
        intact.

        When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
        not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service.

        The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
        (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).

        If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
        bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
        transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
        another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
        transaction fails as well.

        A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
        is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
        ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
        Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that
        matters.

        Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid
        does not currently allow declaration of RESPMOD services at the
        "reqmod_precache" vectoring point (see icap_service or ecap_service).

        The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
        (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).

        A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
        essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
        other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
        is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

        At each supported vectoring point, the adaptation_access
        statements are processed in the order they appear in this
        configuration file. Statements pointing to the following services
        are ignored (i.e., skipped without checking their ACL):

            - services serving different vectoring points
            - "broken-but-bypassable" services
            - "up" services configured to ignore such transactions
              (e.g., based on the ICAP Transfer-Ignore header).

        When a set_name is used, all services in the set are checked
        using the same rules, to find the first applicable one. See
        adaptation_service_set for details.

        If an access list is checked and there is a match, the
        processing stops: For an "allow" rule, the corresponding
        adaptation service is used for the transaction. For a "deny"
        rule, no adaptation service is activated.

        It is currently not possible to apply more than one adaptation
        service at the same vectoring point to the same HTTP transaction.

DOC_START
        For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
        sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
        maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
        pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
        with the master transaction.

        This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
        from and forward to the adaptation transactions.

        An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the 
        shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name 
        specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names. Squid will store 
        and forward that ICAP header field to subsequent ICAP 
        transactions within the same master transaction scope.

        Only one shared entry name is supported at this time.

        a backlog of requests, slowing it down. If you allow too many they
        will use RAM and other system resources noticably.
        The maximum this may be safely set to is 32.
        
        The startup= and idle= options allow some measure of skew in your

        Maximum number of bytes packet size to advertise via EDNS.
        Set to "none" to disable EDNS large packet support.
        
        For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
        is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
        negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
        to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
        will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
        
        Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
        over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
        necessary.
        
        WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
        with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
        resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
        EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
        sizes being advertised by Squid.

        That policy however will cause squid to produce error pages for some
        servers that advertise AAAA but are unreachable over IPv6.

        If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
        limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
        requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
        library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
        objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
        memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
        configuration will use less memory.

        If set to none, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there
        will be no limit on the total amount of memory used for safe-keeping.

        To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
        memory_pools_limit to 0 or none. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.

        An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
        when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
        object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of

        privileges after initializing.  This means, for example, if you
        use a HTTP port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you may
        get an error saying that Squid can not open the port.

NAME: balance_on_multiple_ip
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.balance_on_multiple_ip
DEFAULT: off
DOC_START
        Modern IP resolvers in squid sort lookup results by preferred access.
        By default squid will use these IP in order and only rotates to
        the next listed when the most preffered fails.

        Some load balancing servers based on round robin DNS have been
        found not to preserve user session state across requests
        to different IP addresses.

        Enabling this directive Squid rotates IP's per request.
DOC_END

NAME: pipeline_prefetch
TYPE: onoff
LOC: Config.onoff.pipeline_prefetch
DEFAULT: off
DOC_START
        To boost the performance of pipelined requests to closer
        match that of a non-proxied environment Squid can try to fetch
        up to two requests in parallel from a pipeline.

        Defaults to off for bandwidth management and access logging
        reasons.

NAME: high_response_time_warning
TYPE: int
COMMENT: (msec)
LOC: Config.warnings.high_rptm
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        If the one-minute median response time exceeds this value,
        Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get the
        administrators attention.  The value is in milliseconds.
DOC_END

NAME: high_page_fault_warning
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.warnings.high_pf
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        If the one-minute average page fault rate exceeds this
        value, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
        the administrators attention.  The value is in page faults
        per second.
DOC_END

NAME: high_memory_warning
TYPE: b_size_t
LOC: Config.warnings.high_memory
DEFAULT: 0 KB
DOC_START
        If the memory usage (as determined by mallinfo) exceeds
        this amount, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
        the administrators attention.
DOC_END

NAME: sleep_after_fork
COMMENT: (microseconds)
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.sleep_after_fork
DEFAULT: 0
DOC_START
        When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
        sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
        system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
        system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
        memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
        processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
        Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
        until all the child processes have been started.
        On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
        rounded to 1000.

NAME: windows_ipaddrchangemonitor
IFDEF: _SQUID_MSWIN_
COMMENT: on|off
TYPE: onoff
DEFAULT: on
LOC: Config.onoff.WIN32_IpAddrChangeMonitor
DOC_START
        On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will 
        reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
        proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
        In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
        desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
        Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.
DOC_END

NAME: eui_lookup
TYPE: onoff
IFDEF: USE_SQUID_EUI
DEFAULT: on
LOC: Eui::TheConfig.euiLookup
DOC_START
        Whether to lookup the EUI or MAC address of a connected client.
DOC_END

NAME: max_filedescriptors max_filedesc
TYPE: int
DEFAULT: 0
LOC: Config.max_filedescriptors
DOC_START
        The maximum number of filedescriptors supported.

        The default "0" means Squid inherits the current ulimit setting.

        Note: Changing this requires a restart of Squid. Also
        not all comm loops supports large values.
DOC_END

NAME: workers
TYPE: int
LOC: Config.workers
DEFAULT: 1
DOC_START
        Number of main Squid processes or "workers" to fork and maintain.
        0: "no daemon" mode, like running "squid -N ..."
        1: "no SMP" mode, start one main Squid process daemon (default)
        N: start N main Squid process daemons (i.e., SMP mode)

        In SMP mode, each worker does nearly all what a single Squid daemon
        does (e.g., listen on http_port and forward HTTP requests).

NAME: cpu_affinity_map
TYPE: CpuAffinityMap
LOC: Config.cpuAffinityMap
DEFAULT: none
DOC_START
        Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,...

        Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,

            cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7

        affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first
        four even cores, starting with core #1.

        CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for
        sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls.

        Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged.
