30 WELCOME TO @SQUID@
31 ----------------------------
32
33 This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
34 This documentation can also be found online at:
35 http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
36
37 You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
38 FAQ and other documentation:
39 http://www.squid-cache.org/
40 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
41 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
42
43 This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
44 happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should
45 leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
46
47 In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
48 while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
49 - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.
50
51 COMMENT_END
52
53 COMMENT_START
54 Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
55 Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
56 supported.
57
58 For example,
59
60 include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
61
62 Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
63 This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
64 from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
65 configuration files.
66
67
68 Conditional configuration
69
70 If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
71 depend on conditions:
72
73 if <CONDITION>
74 ... regular configuration directives ...
75 [else
76 ... regular configuration directives ...]
77 endif
78
79 The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
80 must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
81 configuration directives.
82
83 NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
84
85 These individual conditions types are supported:
86
87 true
88 Always evaluates to true.
89 false
90 Always evaluates to false.
91 <integer> = <integer>
92 Equality comparison of two integer numbers.
93
94
95 SMP-Related Macros
96
97 The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
98
99 ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
100 (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
101
102 ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
103 identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
104 across all Squid processes.

194 OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
195 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
196 COMMENT_END
197
198 NAME: auth_param
199 TYPE: authparam
200 IFDEF: USE_AUTH
201 LOC: Auth::TheConfig
202 DEFAULT: none
203 DOC_START
204 This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
205 schemes supported by Squid.
206
207 format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
208
209 The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
210 dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
211 has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
212 scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
213 schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
214 settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
215 recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
216 put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
217 program entry).
218
219 Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
220 shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
221 the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
222 different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
223
224 Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
225 authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
226 To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
227 on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
228 external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
229 challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
230 in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
231 login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
232 type acl.
233
234 WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
235 proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
236 not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
237 transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
238 Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
239 authentication disabled.
240
241 === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
242
243 "program" cmdline
244 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
245 reads a line containing "username password" and replies "OK" or
246 "ERR" in an endless loop. "ERR" responses may optionally be followed
247 by a error description available as %m in the returned error page.
248 If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
249 proxy_auth.
250
251 By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
252 program is specified.
253
254 If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
255 this line to something like
256
257 auth_param basic program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/libexec/ncsa_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/passwd
258
259 "utf8" on|off
260 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
261 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
262 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
263 username & password to the helper.
264
265 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
266 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
267 Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
268 verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
269 done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
270 authenticator processes.
271
272 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
273 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
274 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
275 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
276 the maximum.
277
278 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
279 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
280 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
281 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
282 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
283 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
284 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
285
286 auth_param basic children 20 startup=0 idle=1
287
288 "realm" realmstring
289 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
290 client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
291 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
292 password). There is no default.
293 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
294
295 "credentialsttl" timetolive
296 Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
297 username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
298 often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
299 low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
300 setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
301 to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
302 system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
303 you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
304 use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
305
306 "casesensitive" on|off
307 Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
308 case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
309 lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
310 makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
311 auth_param basic casesensitive off
312
313 === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
314
315 "program" cmdline
316 Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such
317 a program reads a line containing "username":"realm" and
318 replies with the appropriate H(A1) value hex encoded or
319 ERR if the user (or his H(A1) hash) does not exists.
320 See rfc 2616 for the definition of H(A1).
321 "ERR" responses may optionally be followed by a error description
322 available as %m in the returned error page.
323
324 By default, the digest authentication scheme is not used unless a
325 program is specified.
326
327 If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
328 something like
329
330 auth_param digest program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/digest_pw_auth @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/etc/digpass
331
332 "utf8" on|off
333 HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as characterset, while some authentication
334 backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
335 translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
336 username & password to the helper.
337
338 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
339 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
340 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
341 process a backlog of H(A1) calculations, slowing it down.
342 When the H(A1) calculations are done via a (slow) network
343 you are likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
344
345 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
346 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
347 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
348 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
349 the maximum.
350
351 The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
352 helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
353 supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
354 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
355 request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
356 same helper in parallell without wating for the response.
357 Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
358
359 auth_param digest children 20 startup=0 idle=1
360
361 "realm" realmstring
362 Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
363 client for the digest proxy authentication scheme (part of
364 the text the user will see when prompted their username and
365 password). There is no default.
366 auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server
367
368 "nonce_garbage_interval" timeinterval
369 Specifies the interval that nonces that have been issued
370 to client_agent's are checked for validity.
371
372 "nonce_max_duration" timeinterval
373 Specifies the maximum length of time a given nonce will be
374 valid for.
375
376 "nonce_max_count" number
377 Specifies the maximum number of times a given nonce can be
378 used.
379
380 "nonce_strictness" on|off
381 Determines if squid requires strict increment-by-1 behavior
382 for nonce counts, or just incrementing (off - for use when
383 useragents generate nonce counts that occasionally miss 1
384 (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
385
386 "check_nonce_count" on|off
387 This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check
388 completely to work around buggy digest qop implementations in
389 certain mainstream browser versions. Default on to check the
390 nonce count to protect from authentication replay attacks.
391
392 "post_workaround" on|off
393 This is a workaround to certain buggy browsers who sends
394 an incorrect request digest in POST requests when reusing
395 the same nonce as acquired earlier on a GET request.
396
397 === NTLM scheme options follow ===
398
399 "program" cmdline
400 Specify the command for the external NTLM authenticator.
401 Such a program reads exchanged NTLMSSP packets with
402 the browser via Squid until authentication is completed.
403 If you use an NTLM authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl
404 of type proxy_auth. By default, the NTLM authenticator_program
405 is not used.
406
407 auth_param ntlm program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth
408
409 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N]
410 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
411 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
412 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
413 down. When credential verifications are done via a (slow)
414 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
415 processes.
416
417 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
418 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
419 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
420 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
421 the maximum.
422
423 auth_param ntlm children 20 startup=0 idle=1
424
425 "keep_alive" on|off
426 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
427 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
428 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
429 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
430 supported by the proxy.
431
432 auth_param ntlm keep_alive on
433
434 === Options for configuring the NEGOTIATE auth-scheme follow ===
435
436 "program" cmdline
437 Specify the command for the external Negotiate authenticator.
438 This protocol is used in Microsoft Active-Directory enabled setups with
439 the Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox browsers.
440 Its main purpose is to exchange credentials with the Squid proxy
441 using the Kerberos mechanisms.
442 If you use a Negotiate authenticator, make sure you have at least
443 one acl of type proxy_auth active. By default, the negotiate
444 authenticator_program is not used.
445 The only supported program for this role is the ntlm_auth
446 program distributed as part of Samba, version 4 or later.
447
448 auth_param negotiate program @DEFAULT_PREFIX@/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=gss-spnego
449
450 "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N]
451 The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5).
452 If you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to
453 process a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it
454 down. When crendential verifications are done via a (slow)
455 network you are likely to need lots of authenticator
456 processes.
457
458 The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
459 run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
460 Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
461 traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
462 the maximum.
463
464 auth_param negotiate children 20 startup=0 idle=1
465
466 "keep_alive" on|off
467 If you experience problems with PUT/POST requests when using the
468 Negotiate authentication scheme then you can try setting this to
469 off. This will cause Squid to forcibly close the connection on
470 the initial requests where the browser asks which schemes are
471 supported by the proxy.

505 The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.

526 DOC_START
527 If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
528 this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
529 addresses associated with each user. Use a small value
530 (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
531 quickly, as is the case with dialups. You might be safe
532 using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN

619 %% The percent sign. Useful for helpers which need
620 an unchanging input format.
621
622 In addition to the above, any string specified in the referencing
623 acl will also be included in the helper request line, after the
624 specified formats (see the "acl external" directive)
625
626 The helper receives lines per the above format specification,
627 and returns lines starting with OK or ERR indicating the validity
628 of the request and optionally followed by additional keywords with
629 more details.
630
631 General result syntax:
632
633 OK/ERR keyword=value ...
634
635 Defined keywords:
636
637 user= The users name (login)
638 password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
639 message= Message describing the reason. Available as %o
640 in error pages
641 tag= Apply a tag to a request (for both ERR and OK results)
642 Only sets a tag, does not alter existing tags.
643 log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
644 %ea in logformat specifications
645
646 If protocol=3.0 (the default) then URL escaping is used to protect
647 each value in both requests and responses.
648
649 If using protocol=2.5 then all values need to be enclosed in quotes
650 if they may contain whitespace, or the whitespace escaped using \.
651 And quotes or \ characters within the keyword value must be \ escaped.
652
653 When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
654 introducing a query channel tag infront of the request/response.
655 The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.

674 Defining an Access List
675
676 Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype,
677 followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that
678 they are read from.
679
680 acl aclname acltype argument ...
681 acl aclname acltype "file" ...
682
683 When using "file", the file should contain one item per line.
684
685 By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE.
686 To make them case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive
687 use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line without -i.
688
689 Some acl types require suspending the current request in order
690 to access some external data source.
691 Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which
692 don't are marked as [fast].

966 DEFAULT_IF_NONE: deny all
967 DOC_START
968 Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
969 find the original source of a request.
970
971 Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
972 before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
973 comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
974 rightmost address being the most recent.
975
976 If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
977 configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
978 to see where that host received the request from. If the
979 X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
980 backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
981 to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
982 address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
983 follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
984 the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.
985
986 The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
987 refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
988 be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
989 pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,
990 icap_uses_indirect_client, delay_pool_uses_indirect_client,
991 log_uses_indirect_client and tproxy_uses_indirect_client options.
992
993 This clause only supports fast acl types.
994 See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details.
995
996 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS:
997
998 Any host for which we follow the X-Forwarded-For header
999 can place incorrect information in the header, and Squid
1000 will use the incorrect information as if it were the
1001 source address of the request. This may enable remote
1002 hosts to bypass any access control restrictions that are
1003 based on the client's source addresses.
1004
1005 For example:
1006
1007 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1
1008 acl my_other_proxy srcdomain .proxy.example.com

1291 LOC: Config.ReplyBodySize
1292 DOC_START
1293 This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It can be
1294 used to prevent users from downloading very large files, such as
1295 MP3's and movies. When the reply headers are received, the
1296 reply_body_max_size lines are processed, and the first line where
1297 all (if any) listed ACLs are true is used as the maximum body size
1298 for this reply.
1299
1300 This size is checked twice. First when we get the reply headers,
1301 we check the content-length value. If the content length value exists
1302 and is larger than the allowed size, the request is denied and the
1303 user receives an error message that says "the request or reply
1304 is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply
1305 size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed
1306 and they will receive a partial reply.
1307
1308 WARNING: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply
1309 if there is no content-length header, so they will cache
1310 partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT
1311 use this option if you have downstream caches.
1312
1313 WARNING: A maximum size smaller than the size of squid's error messages
1314 will cause an infinite loop and crash squid. Ensure that the smallest
1315 non-zero value you use is greater that the maximum header size plus
1316 the size of your largest error page.

1341
1342 The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
1343 requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
1344 There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
1345 IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
1346 address, Squid binds the socket to that specific
1347 address. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
1348 address, so you can use the port number alone.
1349
1350 If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, you
1351 probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead.
1352
1353 The -a command line option may be used to specify additional
1354 port(s) where Squid listens for proxy request. Such ports will
1355 be plain proxy ports with no options.
1356
1357 You may specify multiple socket addresses on multiple lines.

1393 Defaults to http for http_port and https for
1394 https_port
1395
1396 vport Virtual host port support. Using the http_port number
1397 instead of the port passed on Host: headers.
1398

1406
1407 ignore-cc Ignore request Cache-Control headers.
1408
1409 WARNING: This option violates HTTP specifications if
1410 used in non-accelerator setups.
1411
1412 allow-direct Allow direct forwarding in accelerator mode. Normally
1413 accelerated requests are denied direct forwarding as if
1414 never_direct was used.
1415
1416 WARNING: this option opens accelerator mode to security

1428 enabled, the cert and key options are used to sign
1429 generated certificates. Otherwise generated
1430 certificate will be selfsigned.
1431 If there is a CA certificate lifetime of the generated

1526 forwarding Microsoft connection oriented authentication
1527 (NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos)
1528
1529 disable-pmtu-discovery=
1530 Control Path-MTU discovery usage:
1531 off lets OS decide on what to do (default).
1532 transparent disable PMTU discovery when transparent
1533 support is enabled.
1534 always disable always PMTU discovery.
1535
1536 In many setups of transparently intercepting proxies
1537 Path-MTU discovery can not work on traffic towards the
1538 clients. This is the case when the intercepting device
1539 does not fully track connections and fails to forward
1540 ICMP must fragment messages to the cache server. If you
1541 have such setup and experience that certain clients
1542 sporadically hang or never complete requests set
1543 disable-pmtu-discovery option to 'transparent'.

1545 name= Specifies a internal name for the port. Defaults to
1546 the port specification (port or addr:port)
1547
1548 tcpkeepalive[=idle,interval,timeout]
1549 Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections.
1550 In seconds; idle is the initial time before TCP starts
1551 probing the connection, interval how often to probe, and
1552 timeout the time before giving up.
1553
1554 If you run Squid on a dual-homed machine with an internal
1555 and an external interface we recommend you to specify the
1556 internal address:port in http_port. This way Squid will only be
1557 visible on the internal address.

1802 value instead of, or in addition to, a TOS value.
1803
1804 TOS values really only have local significance - so you should
1805 know what you're specifying. For more information, see RFC2474,
1806 RFC2475, and RFC3260.

1809 in practice often only multiples of 4 is usable as the two rightmost bits
1810 have been redefined for use by ECN (RFC 3168 section 23.1).
1811
1812 Mark values can be any unsigned 32-bit integer value.
1813
1814 This setting is configured by setting the following values:
1815
1816 tos|mark Whether to set TOS or netfilter mark values
1817
1818 local-hit=0xFF Value to mark local cache hits.
1819
1820 sibling-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from sibling peers.
1821
1822 parent-hit=0xFF Value to mark hits from parent peers.
1823
1824 miss=0xFF[/mask] Value to mark cache misses. Takes precedence
1825 over the preserve-miss feature (see below), unless
1826 mask is specified, in which case only the bits
1827 specified in the mask are written.
1828
1829 The TOS variant of the following features are only possible on Linux
1830 and require your kernel to be patched with the TOS preserving ZPH
1831 patch, available from http://zph.bratcheda.org
1832 No patch is needed to preserve the netfilter mark, which will work
1833 with all variants of netfilter.
1834
1835 disable-preserve-miss
1836 This option disables the preservation of the TOS or netfilter
1837 mark. By default, the existing TOS or netfilter mark value of
1838 the response coming from the remote server will be retained
1839 and masked with miss-mark.
1840 NOTE: in the case of a netfilter mark, the mark must be set on
1841 the connection (using the CONNMARK target) not on the packet
1842 (MARK target).
1843
1844 miss-mask=0xFF
1845 Allows you to mask certain bits in the TOS or mark value
1846 received from the remote server, before copying the value to
1847 the TOS sent towards clients.
1848 Default for tos: 0xFF (TOS from server is not changed).
1849 Default for mark: 0xFFFFFFFF (mark from server is not changed).
1850
1851 All of these features require the --enable-zph-qos compilation flag
1852 (enabled by default). Netfilter marking also requires the
1853 libnetfilter_conntrack libraries (--with-netfilter-conntrack) and

1909 Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted
1910 traffic, Squid always verifies that the destination IP address matches
1911 the Host header domain or IP (called 'authority form URL').
1912
1913 This enforcement is performed to satisfy a MUST-level requirement in
1914 RFC 2616 section 14.23: "The Host field value MUST represent the naming
1915 authority of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL".
1916
1917 When set to ON:
1918 Squid always responds with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error
1919 page and logs a security warning if there is no match.
1920
1921 Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
1922 the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
1923 as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
1924 following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
1925 and Request-URI components:
1926
1927 * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
1928 but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
1929 For the two host names to match, both must be either IP
1930 or FQDN.
1931
1932 * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing
1933 the scheme-default port is assumed.
1934
1935
1936 When set to OFF (the default):
1937 Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a
1938 security warning and blocks caching of the response.
1939
1940 * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
1941
1942 * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
1943
1944 * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled
1945 according to client_dst_passthru.
1946
1947 * Intercepted requests which fail verification are sent
1948 to the client original destination instead of DIRECT.
1949 This overrides 'client_dst_passthru off'.
1950
1951 For now suspicious intercepted CONNECT requests are always
1952 responded to with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error page.
1953
1954
1955 SECURITY NOTE:
1956
1957 As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
1958 to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
1959 malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
1960 security policy and sandboxing protections.
1961
1962 The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
1963 own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
1964 sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
1965 as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
1966 be different from the connected IP and approved origin.

1975 With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request
1976 directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster
1977 source using the HTTP Host header.
1978
1979 Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster
1980 connectivity with a range of failure recovery options.
1981 But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and
1982 server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy.
1983
1984 This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being
1985 located to send intercepted traffic DIRECT to an origin server.
1986 The clients original destination IP and port will be used instead.
1987
1988 Regardless of this option setting, when dealing with intercepted

2123 This option is consulted when a CONNECT request is received on
2124 an http_port (or a new connection is intercepted at an
2125 https_port), provided that port was configured with an ssl-bump
2126 flag. The subsequent data on the connection is either treated as

2133
2134 client-first
2135 Allow bumping of the connection. Establish a secure connection

2137 does not allow Squid to mimic server SSL certificate and does
2138 not work with intercepted SSL connections.
2139
2140 server-first
2141 Allow bumping of the connection. Establish a secure connection
2142 with the server first, then establish a secure connection with
2143 the client, using a mimicked server certificate. Works with both
2144 CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL connections.
2145
2146 none
2147 Become a TCP tunnel without decoding the connection.
2148 Works with both CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL
2149 connections. This is the default behavior when no
2150 ssl_bump option is given or no ssl_bump ACLs match.
2151
2152 By default, no connections are bumped.

2154 The first matching ssl_bump option wins. If no ACLs match, the

2270 The following certificate adaptation algorithms are supported:
2271 setValidAfter
2272 Sets the "Not After" property to the "Not After" property of
2273 the CA certificate used to sign generated certificates.
2274 setValidBefore
2275 Sets the "Not Before" property to the "Not Before" property of
2276 the CA certificate used to sign generated certificates.
2277 setCommonName or setCommonName{CN}
2278 Sets Subject.CN property to the host name specified as a
2279 CN parameter or, if no explicit CN parameter was specified,
2280 extracted from the CONNECT request. It is a misconfiguration
2281 to use setCommonName without an explicit parameter for
2282 intercepted or tproxied SSL connections.
2283
2284 This clause only supports fast acl types.
2285
2286 Squid first groups sslproxy_cert_adapt options by adaptation algorithm.
2287 Within a group, when sslproxy_cert_adapt acl(s) match, Squid uses the
2288 corresponding adaptation algorithm to generate the certificate and
2289 ignores all subsequent sslproxy_cert_adapt options in that algorithm's
2290 group (i.e., the first match wins within each algorithm group). If no
2291 acl(s) match, the default mimicking action takes place.
2292
2293 WARNING: SQUID_X509_V_ERR_DOMAIN_MISMATCH and ssl:certDomainMismatch can
2294 be used with sslproxy_cert_adapt, but if and only if Squid is bumping a
2295 CONNECT request that carries a domain name. In all other cases (CONNECT
2296 to an IP address or an intercepted SSL connection), Squid cannot detect
2297 the domain mismatch at certificate generation time when
2298 bump-server-first is used.

2422
2423 NAME: cache_peer
2424 TYPE: peer
2425 DEFAULT: none
2426 LOC: Config.peers
2427 DOC_START
2428 To specify other caches in a hierarchy, use the format:
2429
2430 cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options]
2431
2432 For example,
2433
2434 # proxy icp
2435 # hostname type port port options
2436 # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- -----------
2437 cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 default
2438 cache_peer sib1.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
2439 cache_peer sib2.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 proxy-only
2440 cache_peer example.com parent 80 0 default
2441 cache_peer cdn.example.com sibling 3128 0
2442
2443 type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2444
2445 proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2446 For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2447 For web servers this is usually 80
2448
2449 icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2450 Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2451 See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2452
2453
2454 ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2455
2456 You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2457 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2458
2459
2460 no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2461
2462 multicast-responder
2463 Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2464 ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2465 replies will be accepted from it.
2466
2467 closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2468 CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2469
2470 background-ping
2471 To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2472 This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2473 and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2474
2475
2476 ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2477
2478 You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2479 The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2480
2481
2482 htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2483 You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
2484 instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2485 list of options described below.
2486
2487 htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2488
2489 htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2490 sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
2491 only-clr.
2492
2493 htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2494 This cannot be used with no-clr.
2495
2496 htcp=no-purge-clr
2497 Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2498 they do not result from PURGE requests.
2499
2500 htcp=forward-clr
2501 Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2502
2503
2504 ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2505
2506 The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2507 being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2508
2509
2510 default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2511 if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2512 If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2513
2514 round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2515 fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2516 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2517
2518 weighted-round-robin
2519 Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2520 fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2521 round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2522 Usually used for background-ping parents.
2523 weight=N can be used to add bias.
2524
2525 carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2526 The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2527 CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2528
2529 userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2530
2531 sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
2532
2533 multicast-siblings
2534 To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2535 ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2536 relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
2537 group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2538 a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2539 configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2540 members of the same multicast group.
2541
2542
2543 ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2544
2545 weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2546 peer-selection mechanisms.
2547 The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2548 larger weights are favored more.
2549 This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2550 protocol is not in use.
2551
2552 basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2553 times of parents.
2554 It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2555 which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2556 base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2557
2558 ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2559 to this address.
2560 Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2561 Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2562 hosts, you must configure other group members as
2563 peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2564
2565 no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2566 delay pools.
2567
2568 digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2569 enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2570 than the Squid default location.
2571
2572
2573 ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
2574
2575 carp-key=key-specification
2576 use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
2577 the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
2578 scheme, host, port, path, params
2579 Order is not important.
2580
2581 ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2582
2583 originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2584 Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2585 is a web server.
2586
2587 forceddomain=name
2588 Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2589 Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2590 expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2591 others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2592
2593 no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2594
2595 no-netdb-exchange
2596 Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2597
2598
2599 ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2600
2601 login=user:password
2602 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2603 requires proxy authentication.
2604
2605 Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2606 spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2607
2608 login=PASSTHRU
2609 Send login details received from client to this peer.
2610 Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2611 without alteration to the peer.
2612 Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2613
2614 Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2615 only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2616 connection-auth options are also used.
2617
2618 login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2619 Authentication is not required by this option.
2620
2621 If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2622 to pass on, but username and password are available
2623 from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2624 they may be sent instead.
2625
2626 Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2627 share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2628 a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2629 Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2630 password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2631
2632 login=*:password
2633 Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2634 fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2635 is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2636 needed to identify each user.
2637 The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2638 information which is added to the username. This can
2639 be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2640 the login=username:password option above.
2641
2642 login=NEGOTIATE
2643 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2644 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2645 The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2646 the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
2647
2648 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
2649 clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
2650 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
2651
2652 login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
2653 If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2654 requires a secure proxy authentication.
2655 The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
2656 defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
2657 used.
2658
2659 WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
2660 clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
2661 and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
2662
2663 connection-auth=on|off
2664 Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
2665 connection oriented authentication, and any such
2666 challenges received from there should be ignored.
2667 Default is auto to automatically determine the status
2668 of the peer.
2669
2670
2671 ==== SSL / HTTPS / TLS OPTIONS ====
2672
2673 ssl Encrypt connections to this peer with SSL/TLS.
2674
2675 sslcert=/path/to/ssl/certificate

2705 Always create a new key when using
2706 temporary/ephemeral DH key exchanges
2707 ALL Enable various bug workarounds
2708 suggested as "harmless" by OpenSSL
2709 Be warned that this reduces SSL/TLS
2710 strength to some attacks.
2711
2712 See the OpenSSL SSL_CTX_set_options documentation for a
2713 more complete list.

2738 certificate. If not specified the peer hostname will be
2739 used.
2740
2741 front-end-https
2742 Enable the "Front-End-Https: On" header needed when
2743 using Squid as a SSL frontend in front of Microsoft OWA.
2744 See MS KB document Q307347 for details on this header.
2745 If set to auto the header will only be added if the
2746 request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
2747
2748
2749 ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2750
2751 connect-timeout=N
2752 A peer-specific connect timeout.

2754
2755 connect-fail-limit=N
2756 How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2757 it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2758
2759 allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2760 requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2761 icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2762 of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2763 should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2764 For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2765 by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2766
2767 max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2768 peer. see also
2769
2770 name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2771 Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2772 but different ports.
2773 This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2774 directives to dentify the peer.
2775 Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2776 peername ACL type.
2777
2778 no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding
2779 requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead.
2780
2781 proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally.

2792
2793 cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
2794 cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain
2795
2796 For example, specifying
2797
2798 cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu
2799
2800 has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
2801 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
2802 server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname
2803 with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects
2804 NOT in that domain.
2805
2806 NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
2807 either on the same or separate lines.
2808 * When multiple domains are given for a particular
2809 cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
2810 * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
2811 for all requests.

2839 Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now
2840 possible. You can treat some domains differently than the
2841 default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
2842 Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
2843 should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
2844 applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.

2857 DOC_START
2858 This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2859 as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2860 amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2861 expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2862 continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2863 alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
2864
2865 This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2866 replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2867 passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2868 expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2869 your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2870 will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers

2911 LOC: Config.memMaxSize
2912 DOC_START
2913 NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
2914 IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
2915 USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
2916 THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
2917
2918 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
2919 for:
2920 * In-Transit objects
2921 * Hot Objects
2922 * Negative-Cached objects
2923
2924 Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This
2925 parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
2926 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest
2927 priority.
2928
2929 In-transit objects have priority over the others. When
2930 additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
2931 and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
2932 negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
2933 not needed for in-transit objects.
2934
2935 If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
2936 Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
2937 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
2938 exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
2939 decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
2940 reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
2941 objects.
2942
2943 If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared
2944 cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much
2945 local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory
2946 cache, see memory_cache_shared.

2968 Controls whether the memory cache is shared among SMP workers.
2969
2970 The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
2971 the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
2972 cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
2973 objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory
2974 caching is enabled).
2975
2976 By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the
2977 following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
2978 multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
2979 supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
2980 and GCC-style atomic operations).
2981
2982 To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
2983 that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
2984 shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.
2985
2986 Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared.

3026 The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
3027 objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.
3028
3029 lru : Squid's original list based LRU policy
3030 heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
3031 heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
3032 heap LRU : LRU policy implemented using a heap
3033
3034 Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this.
3035
3036 The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
3037
3038 The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
3039 popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
3040 hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
3041 it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
3042
3043 The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
3044 their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
3045 hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
3046 smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
3047
3048 Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
3049 cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
3050 replacement policies.
3051
3052 NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
3053 the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to
3054 to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.

3064 LOC: Config.cacheSwap
3065 DOC_START
3066 Usage:
3067
3068 cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
3069
3070 You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
3071 cache among different disk partitions.
3072
3073 Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
3074 is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
3075 see the --enable-storeio configure option.
3076
3077 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
3078 files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
3079 for caching, this can be the mount-point directory.
3080 The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
3081 process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
3082
3083 In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option
3084 and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each
3085 worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory.
3086
3087 The ufs store type:
3088
3089 "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
3090 been there.
3091
3092 cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
3093
3094 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
3095 directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
3096 configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
3097 Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
3098 subtract 20% and use that value.
3099
3100 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
3101 will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
3102
3103 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
3104 will be created under each first-level directory. The default
3105 is 256.
3106
3107 The aufs store type:
3108
3109 "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
3110 POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3111 disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
3112
3113 cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
3114
3115 see argument descriptions under ufs above
3116
3117 The diskd store type:
3118
3119 "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
3120 separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3121 disk-I/O.
3122
3123 cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
3124
3125 see argument descriptions under ufs above
3126
3127 Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
3128 stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
3129 Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
3130
3131 Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
3132 starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
3133 Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
3134
3135 When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
3136 for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
3137 ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
3138 higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
3139 time.
3140
3141 The rock store type:
3142
3143 cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes <max-size=bytes> [options]
3144
3145 The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached
3146 entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots,
3147 one entry per slot. The database size is specified in MB. The
3148 slot size is specified in bytes using the max-size option. See
3149 below for more info on the max-size option.
3150
3151 swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
3152 reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
3153 will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
3154 default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
3155 enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
3156 blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
3157 expected swap wait time.
3158
3159 max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
3160 the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
3161 would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
3162 delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
3163 not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
3164 since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
3165 requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
3166 This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
3167 many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
3168 while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
3169 with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
3170 when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
3171 and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
3172 enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.
3173
3174
3175 The coss store type:
3176
3177 NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
3178 production use and has thus been removed from this release.
3179 We hope that it can be made usable again soon.
3180
3181 block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
3182 Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers
3183 are limited to 24 bits, the block size determines the maximum
3184 size of the COSS partition. The default is 512 bytes, which
3185 leads to a maximum cache_dir size of 512<<24, or 8 GB. Note
3186 you should not change the coss block size after Squid
3187 has written some objects to the cache_dir.
3188
3189 The coss file store has changed from 2.5. Now it uses a file
3190 called 'stripe' in the directory names in the config - and
3191 this will be created by squid -z.
3192
3193 Common options:
3194
3195 no-store, no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir
3196
3197 min-size=n, refers to the min object size in bytes this cache_dir
3198 will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir to only store
3199 large objects (e.g. aufs) while other storedirs are optimized
3200 for smaller objects (e.g. COSS). Defaults to 0.
3201
3202 max-size=n, refers to the max object size in bytes this cache_dir
3203 supports. It is used to select the cache_dir to store the object.
3204 Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
3205 the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first and the
3206 ones with no max-size specification last.
3207
3208 Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,
3209 which can be changed with the --with-coss-membuf-size=N configure
3210 option.

3429 Squid handling related format codes:
3430
3431 Ss Squid request status (TCP_MISS etc)
3432 Sh Squid hierarchy status (DEFAULT_PARENT etc)
3433
3434 SSL-related format codes:
3435
3436 ssl::bump_mode SslBump decision for the transaction:
3437
3438 For CONNECT requests that initiated bumping of
3439 a connection and for any request received on
3440 an already bumped connection, Squid logs the
3441 corresponding SslBump mode ("server-first" or
3442 "client-first"). See the ssl_bump option for
3443 more information about these modes.
3444
3445 A "none" token is logged for requests that
3446 triggered "ssl_bump" ACL evaluation matching
3447 either a "none" rule or no rules at all.
3448
3449 In all other cases, a single dash ("-") is
3450 logged.
3451
3452 If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as
3453 well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
3454
3455 icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
3456 transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
3457 ACLs are checked and when ICAP
3458 transaction is in progress.
3459
3460 If adaptation is enabled the following three codes become available:
3461
3462 adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
3463 meta-information from the last eCAP
3464 transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
3465 Like <h, accepts an optional header name
3466 argument.
3467
3468 adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
3469 times recorded as a comma-separated list in
3470 the order of transaction start time. Each time
3471 value is recorded as an integer number,
3472 representing response time of one or more
3473 adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
3474 milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
3475 being retried or repeated, its time is not
3476 logged individually but added to the
3477 replacement (next) transaction. See also:
3478 adapt::all_trs.
3479
3480 adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
3481 Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
3482 individual transactions are never added
3483 together. Instead, all transaction response
3484 times are recorded individually.
3485
3486 You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
3487 service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
3488 to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs
3489
3490 If SSL is enabled, the following formating codes become available:
3491
3492 %ssl::>cert_subject The Subject field of the received client
3493 SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
3494 received an invalid/malformed certificate or
3495 no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
3496 logged value because Subject often has spaces.
3497
3498 %ssl::>cert_issuer The Issuer field of the received client
3499 SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
3500 received an invalid/malformed certificate or
3501 no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
3502 logged value because Issuer often has spaces.
3503
3504 The default formats available (which do not need re-defining) are:
3505
3506 logformat squid %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un %Sh/%<a %mt
3507 logformat common %>a %[ui %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st %Ss:%Sh
3508 logformat combined %>a %[ui %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st "%{Referer}>h" "%{User-Agent}>h" %Ss:%Sh
3509 logformat referrer %ts.%03tu %>a %{Referer}>h %ru
3510 logformat useragent %>a [%tl] "%{User-Agent}>h"
3511
3512 NOTE: When the log_mime_hdrs directive is set to ON.
3513 The squid, common and combined formats have a safely encoded copy
3514 of the mime headers appended to each line within a pair of brackets.
3515
3516 NOTE: The common and combined formats are not quite true to the Apache definition.
3517 The logs from Squid contain an extra status and hierarchy code appended.

3578 DOC_START
3579 ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
3580 transaction.
3581
3582 The icap_log option format is:
3583 icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3584 icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3585
3586 Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3587 kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3588 features.
3589
3590 ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3591 require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3592 ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3593 log line.
3594
3595 ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3596 transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3597 embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3598 For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3599 server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3600 request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3601 OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3602
3603 The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3604
3605 icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3606
3607 icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3608 option in Squid configuration file.
3609
3610 icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3611
3612 icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3613 OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3614
3615 icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3616 only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3617
3618 icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3619 payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3620 the socket).
3621
3622 icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3623 ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3624 includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3625 possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3626 HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3627 computed.
3628
3629 icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3630 milliseconds). The timer starts when
3631 the ICAP transaction is created and
3632 stops when the transaction is completed.
3633 Similar to tr.
3634
3635 icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
3636 timer starts when the first ICAP request
3637 byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
3638 stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
3639 is received.
3640
3641 icap::to Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
3642 transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
3643 transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
3644 responses, ICAP_MOD for message
3645 modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
3646 satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
3647
3648 icap::Hs ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
3649
3650 icap::>h ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
3651
3652 icap::<h ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
3653
3654 The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit
3655 definition, is called icap_squid:
3656
3657 logformat icap_squid %ts.%03tu %6icap::tr %>a %icap::to/%03icap::Hs %icap::<size %icap::rm %icap::ru% %un -/%icap::<A -

3730 Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds

3732 the cache during startup. Normally this file resides in each
3733 'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
3734 pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
3735 a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
3736 list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
3737
3738 If %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
3739 a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
3740 with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
3741 lines when cache_swap_log is being used.
3742
3743 If have more than one 'cache_dir', and %s is not used in the name

3767 disable the file name rotation, but the logfiles are still closed
3768 and re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
3769 yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
3770
3771 Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
3772 signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
3773 (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
3774 purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get

3956 reasonable for your domain, like wwwuser@somewhere.net

3958 The reason why this is domainless by default is the
3959 request can be made on the behalf of a user in any domain,

3983 NATs may be able to put the connection on a "fast path" through the
3984 translator, as the EPRT command will never be used and therefore,
3985 translation of the data portion of the segments will never be needed.

3987 When a client only expects to do two-way FTP transfers this may be
3988 useful.
3989 If squid finds that it must do a three-way FTP transfer after issuing
3990 an EPSV ALL command, the FTP session will fail.

4130
4131 In the future, the rewriter interface will be extended with

4136 And the rewriter may return a rewritten URL. The other components of
4137 the request line does not need to be returned (ignored if they are).
4138
4139 The rewriter can also indicate that a client-side redirect should
4140 be performed to the new URL. This is done by prefixing the returned
4141 URL with "301:" (moved permanently) or 302: (moved temporarily), etc.

4162 starts or reconfigures. When set to zero the first request will
4163 cause spawning of the first child process to handle it.
4164
4165 Starting too few will cause an initial slowdown in traffic as Squid
4166 attempts to simultaneously spawn enough processes to cope.
4167
4168 idle=
4169
4170 Sets a minimum of how many processes Squid is to try and keep available
4171 at all times. When traffic begins to rise above what the existing

4282 'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit

4284 value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications
4285 to be erroneously cached unless the application designer
4286 has taken the appropriate actions.

4289 modification age) an object without explicit expiry time
4290 will be considered fresh.

4307 override-expire enforces min age even if the server
4308 sent an explicit expiry time (e.g., with the
4309 Expires: header or Cache-Control: max-age). Doing this
4310 VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature
4311 could make you liable for problems which it causes.
4312
4313 Note: override-expire does not enforce staleness - it only extends
4314 freshness / min. If the server returns a Expires time which
4315 is longer than your max time, Squid will still consider
4316 the object fresh for that period of time.
4317
4318 override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects
4319 that were modified recently.
4320
4321 reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload''
4322 to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the
4323 HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
4324 liable for problems which it causes.
4325
4326 ignore-reload ignores a client no-cache or ``reload''
4327 header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
4328 this feature could make you liable for problems which
4329 it causes.
4330
4331 ignore-no-store ignores any ``Cache-control: no-store''
4332 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
4333 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
4334 liable for problems which it causes.
4335
4336 ignore-must-revalidate ignores any ``Cache-Control: must-revalidate``
4337 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
4338 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
4339 liable for problems which it causes.
4340
4341 ignore-private ignores any ``Cache-control: private''
4342 headers received from a server. Doing this VIOLATES
4343 the HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you
4344 liable for problems which it causes.
4345
4346 ignore-auth caches responses to requests with authorization,
4347 as if the originserver had sent ``Cache-control: public''
4348 in the response header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard.
4349 Enabling this feature could make you liable for problems which
4350 it causes.
4351
4352 refresh-ims causes squid to contact the origin server
4353 when a client issues an If-Modified-Since request. This
4354 ensures that the client will receive an updated version
4355 if one is available.
4356
4357 store-stale stores responses even if they don't have explicit
4358 freshness or a validator (i.e., Last-Modified or an ETag)
4359 present, or if they're already stale. By default, Squid will
4360 not cache such responses because they usually can't be
4361 reused. Note that such responses will be stale by default.
4362
4363 max-stale=NN provide a maximum staleness factor. Squid won't
4364 serve objects more stale than this even if it failed to
4365 validate the object. Default: use the max_stale global limit.
4366
4367 Basically a cached object is:
4368
4369 FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
4370 STALE if age > max
4371 FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
4372 FRESH if age < min

4517 'size' is the limit specified as a number of units.
4518
4519 'units' specifies whether to use bytes, KB, MB, etc.
4520 If no units are specified bytes are assumed.
4521
4522 A size of 0 causes Squid to never fetch more than the
4523 client requested. (default)
4524
4525 A size of 'none' causes Squid to always fetch the object from the
4526 beginning so it may cache the result. (2.0 style)
4527
4528 'aclname' is the name of a defined ACL.
4529
4530 NP: Using 'none' as the byte value here will override any quick_abort settings
4531 that may otherwise apply to the range request. The range request will
4532 be fully fetched from start to finish regardless of the client
4533 actions. This affects bandwidth usage.

4632 LOC: Config.maxChunkedRequestBodySize
4633 DOC_START
4634 A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
4635 request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
4636 feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
4637 entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
4638 plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
4639 request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.
4640
4641 The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
4642 to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
4643 request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
4644 fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
4645 as if dechunking was disabled.
4646
4647 Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
4648 chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.
4649
4650 Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
4651 temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
4652 supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.

4712 Microsoft Internet Explorer up until version 5.5 Service
4713 Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4714 is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4715 a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4716 requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4717 for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4718 (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4719 fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4720 cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4721 of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4722 forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4723 hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4724 handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4725 the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4726 worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4727 force fresh content.

4770 WARNING: Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling
4771 this feature could make you liable for problems which it
4772 causes.
4773
4774 This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
4775 older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
4776 more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
4777 removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
4778
4779 This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
4780 headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
4781 or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
4782 detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
4783 terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
4784
4785 The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
4786 fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
4787 qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
4788
4789 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
4790 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
4791 on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
4792 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
4793
4794 Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
4795 If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
4796 go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
4797 removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
4798 if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
4799 set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.
4800
4801 For example, to achieve the same behavior as the old
4802 'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:
4803
4804 request_header_access From deny all
4805 request_header_access Referer deny all

4959 This option adds header fields to outgoing HTTP requests (i.e.,
4960 request headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a
4961 cache peer or an origin server). The option has no effect during
4962 cache hit detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point
4963 in ICAP terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
4964
4965 Field-name is a token specifying an HTTP header name. If a
4966 standard HTTP header name is used, Squid does not check whether
4967 the new header conflicts with any existing headers or violates
4968 HTTP rules. If the request to be modified already contains a
4969 field with the same name, the old field is preserved but the
4970 header field values are not merged.
4971
4972 Field-value is either a token or a quoted string. If quoted
4973 string format is used, then the surrounding quotes are removed
4974 while escape sequences and %macros are processed.
4975
4976 In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros.
4977 However, unlike logging (which happens at the very end of
4978 transaction lifetime), the transaction may not yet have enough
4979 information to expand a macro when the new header value is needed.
4980 And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet
4981 committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report
4982 such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash
4983 ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested.
4984
4985 One or more Squid ACLs may be specified to restrict header
4986 injection to matching requests. As always in squid.conf, all
4987 ACLs in an option ACL list must be satisfied for the insertion
4988 to happen. The request_header_add option supports fast ACLs

5116 DOC_START
5117 The maximum amount of time a client (browser) is allowed to
5118 remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
5119 from having a lot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
5120 in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
5121 properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
5122 because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
5123 day, 1440 minutes.
5124
5125 NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
5126 client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
5127 should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
5128 If you seem to have many client connections tying up
5129 filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,
5130 request_timeout, persistent_request_timeout and quick_abort values.

5440
5441 Example:
5442 delay_pools 4 # 4 delay pools

5446 delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool
5447
5448 The delay pool classes are:
5449
5450 class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5451 bucket.
5452
5453 class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5454 bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
5455 from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
5456
5457 class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5458 bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
5459 from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
5460 "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
5461 32 of the IPv4 address.
5462
5463 class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
5464 additional limit on a per user basis. This
5465 only takes effect if the username is established
5466 in advance - by forcing authentication in your
5467 http_access rules.
5468
5469 class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
5470 external_acl's tag= reply).
5471
5472
5473 Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
5474 and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
5475 a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
5476
5477 NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
5478 -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
5479 -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
5480 -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"
5481

5517 a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the

5520 For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
5521 delay_pools pool 1
5522 delay_parameters pool aggregate
5523
5524 For a class 2 delay pool:

5527
5528 For a class 3 delay pool:
5529 delay_pools pool 3
5530 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
5531
5532 For a class 4 delay pool:
5533 delay_pools pool 4
5534 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
5535
5536 For a class 5 delay pool:
5537 delay_pools pool 5
5538 delay_parameters pool tagrate
5539
5540 The option variables are:
5541
5542 pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
5543 number specified in delay_pools as used in
5544 delay_class lines.
5545
5546 aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket
5547 (class 1, 2, 3).
5548
5549 individual the speed limit parameters for the individual
5550 buckets (class 2, 3).
5551
5552 network the speed limit parameters for the network buckets
5553 (class 3).
5554
5555 user the speed limit parameters for the user buckets
5556 (class 4).
5557
5558 tagrate the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets
5559 (class 5).
5560
5561 A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
5562 the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
5563 quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
5564 maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
5565
5566 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
5567
5568
5569 For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
5570 above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec
5571 (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
5572
5573 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
5574
5575 Note that 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec.
5576
5577 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
5578
5579
5580 And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
5581 example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
5582 with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
5583 individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
5584 to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
5585 (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
5586 large downloads more significantly:
5587
5588 delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
5589
5590 Note that 8 x 32000 KByte/sec -> 256Kbit/sec.
5591 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec.
5592 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800bit/sec.
5593
5594
5595 Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
5596 be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:

5691
5692 All client_delay_access options are checked in their pool ID
5693 order, starting with pool 1. The first checked pool with allowed
5694 request is selected for the request. If no ACL matches or there
5695 are no client_delay_access options, the request bandwidth is not
5696 limited.
5697
5698 The ACL-selected pool is then used to find the
5699 client_delay_parameters for the request. Client-side pools are
5700 not used to aggregate clients. Clients are always aggregated
5701 based on their source IP addresses (one bucket per source IP).

5839 one service id - http (id 0). The dynamic service ids can be from
5840 51 to 255 inclusive. In order to use a dynamic service id
5841 one must define the type of traffic to be redirected; this is done
5842 using the wccp2_service_info option.
5843
5844 The "standard" type does not require a wccp2_service_info option,

6580
6581 This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
6582 do not pass the 'http_access' rules. Squid remembers the last
6583 acl it evaluated in http_access, and if a 'deny_info' line exists
6584 for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
6585
6586 The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
6587 denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
6588 - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
6589 the first authentication related acl encountered
6590 - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
6591 acl processed on the last http_access line.
6592 - When the decision to deny access was made by an adaptation service,
6593 the acl name is the corresponding eCAP or ICAP service_name.
6594
6595 NP: If providing your own custom error pages with error_directory
6596 you may also specify them by your custom file name:
6597 Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys
6598
6599 By defaut Squid will send "403 Forbidden". A different 4xx or 5xx
6600 may be specified by prefixing the file name with the code and a colon.
6601 e.g. 404:ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED
6602
6603 Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection
6604 by specifying TCP_RESET.
6605
6606 Or you can specify an error URL or URL pattern. The browsers will
6607 get redirected to the specified URL after formatting tags have
6608 been replaced. Redirect will be done with 302 or 307 according to
6609 HTTP/1.1 specs. A different 3xx code may be specified by prefixing
6610 the URL. e.g. 303:http://example.com/

6669 By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
6670 can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
6671 fails.

6683 Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
6684
6685 Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6686 ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6687 any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6688 local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6689 something like:
6690
6691 acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6692 always_direct allow local-servers
6693
6694 To always forward FTP requests directly, use
6695
6696 acl FTP proto FTP
6697 always_direct allow FTP
6698
6699 NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6700 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6701 foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6702 may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6703 some other rule. Example:
6704
6705 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6706 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6707 always_direct deny local-external
6708 always_direct allow local-servers
6709
6710 NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6711 directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6712 to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6713 can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
6714
6715 NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6716 is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
6717 the replies see the 'cache' directive.
6718
6719 This clause supports both fast and slow acl types.

6730 never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
6731 the description for always_direct if you have not already.
6732
6733 With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
6734 requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
6735 servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
6736 requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
6737
6738 acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6739 never_direct deny local-servers
6740 never_direct allow all
6741
6742 or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
6743 servers inside the firewall use something like:
6744
6745 acl local-intranet dstdomain .foo.net
6746 acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6747 always_direct deny local-external
6748 always_direct allow local-intranet

6827 The name of an accept(2) filter to install on Squid's
6828 listen socket(s). This feature is perhaps specific to
6829 FreeBSD and requires support in the kernel.
6830
6831 The 'httpready' filter delays delivering new connections
6832 to Squid until a full HTTP request has been received.
6833 See the accf_http(9) man page for details.
6834
6835 The 'dataready' filter delays delivering new connections
6836 to Squid until there is some data to process.
6837 See the accf_dataready(9) man page for details.
6838
6839 Linux:
6840
6841 The 'data' filter delays delivering of new connections
6842 to Squid until there is some data to process by TCP_ACCEPT_DEFER.
6843 You may optionally specify a number of seconds to wait by
6844 'data=N' where N is the number of seconds. Defaults to 30
6845 if not specified. See the tcp(7) man page for details.

6933 DOC_START
6934 The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates
6935 when establishing a new TCP connection with an ICAP service. If
6936 the number of failures exceeds the limit, the ICAP service is
6937 not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its
6938 OPTIONS.
6939
6940 A negative value disables the limit. Without the limit, an ICAP
6941 service will not be considered down due to connectivity failures
6942 between ICAP OPTIONS requests.
6943
6944 Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
6945 value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm
6946 is approximate because Squid does not remember individual
6947 errors but groups them instead, splitting the option
6948 value into ten time slots of equal length.
6949
6950 When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no
6951 effect on service failure expiration.
6952
6953 Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings
6954 using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option
6955 setting.

6984 The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the
6985 HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body
6986 or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments,
6987 previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.
6988
6989 During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what
6990 HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.
6991 Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one.

7017 206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the

7020 ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default.
7021
7022 Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each
7023 ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle
7024 negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but

7108
7109 icap_service id vectoring_point uri [option ...]
7110
7111 id: ID
7112 an opaque identifier or name which is used to direct traffic to
7113 this specific service. Must be unique among all adaptation
7114 services in squid.conf.
7115
7116 vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache
7117 This specifies at which point of transaction processing the
7118 ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
7119 are not yet supported.
7120
7121 uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath
7122 ICAP server and service location.
7123
7124 ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
7125 transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
7126 services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
7127 can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
7128 service_names differ.
7129
7130
7131 Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
7132 the following name=value options:
7133
7134 bypass=on|off|1|0
7135 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
7136 optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
7137 Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
7138 if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
7139 bypassed. If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
7140 essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
7141 returned to the HTTP client.
7142
7143 Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
7144
7145 routing=on|off|1|0
7146 If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
7147 dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
7148 returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
7149 are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
7150 value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
7151 Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
7152 services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
7153 in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.
7154
7155 Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
7156 vectoring points in their natural processing order.
7157
7158 Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
7159 response header is ignored.
7160
7161 ipv6=on|off
7162 Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
7163 is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
7164 make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.
7165
7166 on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
7167 If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
7168 one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
7169 * block: send an HTTP error response to the client
7170 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
7171 * wait: wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
7172 * force: proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
7173
7174 In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
7175 connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
7176 workers may use a given service.
7177
7178 The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
7179 otherwise it is set to "wait".
7180
7181
7182 max-conn=number
7183 Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless
7184 of the Max-Connections value given by the service, if any.
7185
7186 Older icap_service format without optional named parameters is
7187 deprecated but supported for backward compatibility.

7329
7330 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were

7332
7333 The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
7334 (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
7335
7336 If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
7337 bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
7338 transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
7339 another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
7340 transaction fails as well.
7341
7342 A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
7343 is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
7344 ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.

7373 When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were

7376 Request satisfaction terminates the adaptation chain because Squid

7405 At each supported vectoring point, the adaptation_access
7406 statements are processed in the order they appear in this
7407 configuration file. Statements pointing to the following services
7408 are ignored (i.e., skipped without checking their ACL):
7409
7410 - services serving different vectoring points
7411 - "broken-but-bypassable" services
7412 - "up" services configured to ignore such transactions
7413 (e.g., based on the ICAP Transfer-Ignore header).
7414
7415 When a set_name is used, all services in the set are checked
7416 using the same rules, to find the first applicable one. See
7417 adaptation_service_set for details.
7418
7419 If an access list is checked and there is a match, the
7420 processing stops: For an "allow" rule, the corresponding
7421 adaptation service is used for the transaction. For a "deny"
7422 rule, no adaptation service is activated.

7424 It is currently not possible to apply more than one adaptation
7425 service at the same vectoring point to the same HTTP transaction.

7455 DEFAULT: none
7456 DOC_START
7457 For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
7458 sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
7459 maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
7460 pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
7461 with the master transaction.
7462
7463 This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
7464 from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
7465
7466 An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
7467 shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
7468 specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
7469
7470 An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
7471 shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API
7472 to provide an option with a name specified in
7473 adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
7474
7475 Squid will store and forward the set entry to subsequent adaptation
7476 transactions within the same master transaction scope.
7477
7478 Only one shared entry name is supported at this time.

7481 # share authentication information among ICAP services

7488 LOC: Adaptation::Config::metaHeaders
7489 DEFAULT: none
7490 DOC_START
7491 This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request
7492 headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions.
7493 Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
7494 transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
7495
7496 The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
7497 adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
7498
7499 Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
7500 Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
7501 lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
7502 example:
7503
7504 # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
7505 adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging
7506
7507 # log all transactions except for those that must remain secret
7508 adaptation_meta X-Log 1 !keep_secret
7509
7510 # mark transactions from users in the "G 1" group
7511 adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
7512
7513 The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
7514 quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape
7515 any character, which is currently only useful for escaping backslashes
7516 and double quotes. For example,
7517 "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\""
7518
7519 Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note
7520 logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name
7521 are used during master transaction lifetime, the header values are
7522 logged in the order they were used and duplicate values are ignored
7523 (only the first repeated value will be logged).

7658
7659 For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
7660 is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
7661 negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
7662 to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
7663 will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
7664
7665 Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes
7666 over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not
7667 necessary.
7668
7669 WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply
7670 with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some
7671 resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled
7672 EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram
7673 sizes being advertised by Squid.

7843 requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
7844 library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
7845 objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
7846 memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
7847 configuration will use less memory.
7848
7849 If set to none, Squid will keep all memory it can. That is, there

7997 This sets the maximum number of connection attempts made for each
7998 TCP connection. The connect_retries attempts must all still
7999 complete within the connection timeout period.
8000
8001 The default is not to re-try if the first connection attempt fails.
8002 The (not recommended) maximum is 10 tries.
8003
8004 A warning message will be generated if it is set to a too-high
8005 value and the configured value will be over-ridden.
8006
8007 Note: These re-tries are in addition to forward_max_tries
8008 which limit how many different addresses may be tried to find
8009 a useful server.

8020 Status 502 and 504 (Gateway errors) are always retried.
8021
8022 This is mainly useful if you are in a complex cache hierarchy to
8023 work around access control errors.

8052 What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the
8053 URI. Options:
8054
8055 strip: The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
8056 This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396.
8057 deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
8058 Request" message.
8059 allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
8060 whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
8061 whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
8062 are in use.
8063 encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
8064 encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
8065 a violation of the HTTP/1.1
8066 RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
8067 chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
8068 first whitespace. This might also be considered a
8069 violation.

8152 DOC_START
8153 When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
8154 sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
8155 system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
8156 system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
8157 memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
8158 processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
8159 Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
8160 until all the child processes have been started.
