-<sect>Windows support
-<P>This Squid version can run on Windows as a system service using the Cygwin emulation environment, 
-or can be compiled in Windows native mode using the MinGW + MSYS development environment. Windows NT 4 SP4 and later are supported.<newline>
-On Windows 2000 and later the service is configured to use the Windows Service Recovery option
-restarting automatically after 60 seconds.
-
-<sect1>Usage
-
-<p>Some new command line options were added for the Windows service support:<newline>
-
-<p>The service installation is made with -i command line switch, it's possible to use -f switch at
-the same time for specify a different config-file settings for the Squid Service that will be
-stored on the Windows Registry.
-
-<p>A new -n switch specify the Windows Service Name, so multiple Squid instance are allowed.
-<em/"Squid"/ is the default when the switch is not used.
-
-<p>So, to install the service, the syntax is: 
-
-<verb>squid -i [-f file] [-n name]</verb>
-
-<p>Service uninstallation is made with -r command line switch with the appropriate -n switch.
-
-<p>The -k switch family must be used with the appropriate -f and -n switches, so the syntax is: 
-
-<verb>squid -k command [-f file] -n service-name</verb>
-where <em/service-name/ is the name specified with -n options at service install time.
-
-<p>To use the Squid original command line, the new -O switch must be used ONCE, the syntax is: 
-
-<verb>squid -O cmdline [-n service-name]</verb>
-<p>If multiple service command line options must be specified, use quote. The -n switch is
-needed only when a non default service name is in use.
-
-<p>Don't use the "Start parameters" in the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service applet: they are
-specific to Windows services functionality and Squid is not designed for understand they.
-
-<p>In the following example the command line of the "squidsvc" Squid service is set to "-D -u 3130": 
-
-<verb>squid -O "-D -u 3130" -n squidsvc</verb>
-
-<sect1>PSAPI.DLL (Process Status Helper) Considerations
-
-<p>The process status helper functions make it easier for you to obtain information about
-processes and device drivers running on Microsoft® Windows NT®/Windows® 2000. These
-functions are available in PSAPI.DLL, which is distributed in the Microsoft® Platform
-Software Development Kit (SDK). The same information is generally available through the
-performance data in the registry, but it is more difficult to get to it. PSAPI.DLL is
-freely redistributable.
-
-<p>PSAPI.DLL is available only on Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003. The implementation in Squid is
-aware of this, and try to use it only on the right platform.
-
-<p>On Windows NT PSAPI.DLL can be found as component of many applications, if you need it,
-you can find it on Windows NT Resource KIT. If you have problem, it can be
-downloaded from here:
-<url url="http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Redist/4.0.1371.1/NT4/EN-US/psinst.EXE" name="http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Redist/4.0.1371.1/NT4/EN-US/psinst.EXE">
-
-<p>On Windows 2000 and later it is available installing the Windows Support Tools, located on the
-Support\Tools folder of the installation Windows CD-ROM.
-
-<sect1>Registry DNS lookup
-
-<p>On Windows platforms, if no value is specified in the <em/dns_nameservers/ option on
-squid.conf or in the /etc/resolv.conf file, the list of DNS name servers are
-taken from the Windows registry, both static and dynamic DHCP configurations
-are supported.
-
-<sect1>Compatibility Notes
-<p>
-<itemize>
-<item>It's recommended to use '/' char in Squid paths instead of '\'
-<item>Paths with spaces (like 'C:\Programs Files\Squid) are NOT supported by Squid
-<item>When using ACL like 'acl aclname acltype "file"' the file must be in DOS text
-format (CR+LF) and the full Windows path must be specified, for example:
-
-<verb>acl blocklist url_regex -i "c:/squid/etc/blocked1.txt"</verb>
-
-<item>The Windows equivalent of '/dev/null' is 'NUL'
-<item>Squid doesn't know how to run external helpers based on scripts, like .bat, .cmd,
-.vbs, .pl, etc. So in squid.conf the interpreter path must be always specified, for example:
-
-<verb>redirect_program c:/perl/bin/perl.exe c:/squid/libexec/redir.pl
-redirect_program c:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /C c:/squid/libexec/redir.cmd</verb>
-<item>When Squid runs in command line mode, the launching user account must have administrative privilege on the system
-<item>"Start parameters" in the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service applet cannot be used
-<item>On Windows Vista and later, User Account Control (UAC) must be disabled before running service installation
-</itemize>
-
-
-<sect1>Known Limitations
-<p>
-<itemize>
-<item>Squid features not operational:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>DISKD: still needs to be ported<newline>
-<item>WCCP: cannot work because user space GRE support on Windows is missing<newline>
-<item>Transparent Proxy: missing Windows non commercial interception driver<newline>
-</itemize>
-<item>Some code sections can make blocking calls.
-<item>Some external helpers may not work.
-<item>File Descriptors number hard-limited to 2048 when building with MinGW.
-</itemize>

-<sect1>Building Squid on Windows
-
-<p>A reasonably recent release of <url url="http://www.cygwin.com/" name="Cygwin"> or <url url="http://www.mingw.org/" name="MinGW"> is needed.<newline>
-The usage of the Cygwin environment is very similar to other Unix/Linux environments, and -devel version of libraries must be installed.<newline>
-For the MinGW environment, the packages MSYS, MinGW and msysDTK must be installed. Some additional libraries and tools must be downloaded separately:<newline><newline>
-OpenSSL: <url url="http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html" name="Shining Light Productions Win32 OpenSSL"><newline>
-libcrypt: <url url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwrep/" name="MinGW packages repository"><newline>
-db-1.85: <url url="http://tinycobol.org/download.html" name="TinyCOBOL download area"><newline>
-When running configure, --disable-wccp and --disable-wccpv2 options should always specified to avoid compile errors.<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>New configure options:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>--enable-win32-service<newline>
-</itemize>
-<item>Updated configure options:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>--enable-arp-acl<newline>
-<item>--enable-default-hostsfile<newline>
-</itemize>
-<item>Unsupported configure options:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>--enable-coss-aio-ops: On Windows Posix AIO is not available<newline>
-<item>--with-large-files: No suitable build environment is available on both Cygwin and MinGW, but --enable-large-cache-files works fine<newline>
-</itemize>
-<item>Recommended configure minimal options for Windows:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>--prefix=c:/squid --disable-wccp --disable-wccpv2 --enable-win32-service --enable-default-hostsfile=none
-</itemize>
-</itemize>
-<newline>
-Before build Squid with SSL support, some operations are needed (in the following example OpenSSL is installed in C:\OpenSSL and MinGW in C:\MinGW):
-<itemize>
-<item>Copy C:\OpenSSL\lib\MinGW content to C:\MinGW\lib<newline>
-<item>Copy C:\OpenSSL\include\openssl content to C:\MinGW\include\openssl<newline>
-<item>Rename C:\MinGW\lib\ssleay32.a to C:\MinGW\lib\libssleay32.a<newline>
-</itemize>
-
-<sect1>Using cache manager on Windows:
-<p>On Windows, cache manager (cachemgr.cgi) can be used with Microsoft IIS or Apache.<newline>
-Some specific configuration could be needed:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>IIS 6 (Windows 2003):<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>On IIS 6.0 all CGI extensions are denied by default for security reason, so the following configuration is needed:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>Create a cgi-bin Directory
-<item>Define the cgi-bin IIS Virtual Directory with read and CGI execute IIS
-permissions, ASP scripts are not needed. This automatically defines a
-cgi-bin IIS web application 
-<item>Copy cachemgr.cgi into cgi-bin directory and look to file permissions:
-the IIS system account and SYSTEM must be able to read and execute the file
-<item>In IIS manager go to Web Service extensions and add a new Web Service
-Extension called <em/"Squid Cachemgr"/, add the cachemgr.cgi file and set the
-extension status to <em/Allowed/
-</itemize>
-</itemize>
-<item>Apache:<newline>
-<itemize>
-<item>On Windows, cachemgr.cgi needs to create a temporary file, so Apache must be instructed
- to pass the TMP and TEMP Windows environment variables to CGI applications:<newline>
-<verb>
-ScriptAlias /squid/cgi-bin/ "c:/squid/libexec/"
-&lt;Location /squid/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi&gt;
-    PassEnv TMP TEMP
-    Order allow,deny
-    Allow from workstation.example.com
-&lt;/Location&gt;
-</verb>
-</itemize>
