# WELCOME TO SQUID 4.13 # ---------------------------- # # This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file. # This documentation can also be found online at: # http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ # # You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the # FAQ and other documentation: # http://www.squid-cache.org/ # http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq # http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples # # This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives # happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should # leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases. # # In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all, # while in other cases it refers to the value of the option # - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case. # # Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive. # Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are # supported. # # For example, # # include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config # # Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels. # This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references # from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load # configuration files. # # Values with byte units # # Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All # such directives are documented with a default value displaying # a unit. # # Units accepted by Squid are: # bytes - byte # KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes) # MB - Megabyte # GB - Gigabyte # # Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters # # Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other # special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use # the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or # disable that support. # # Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external # files using the syntax: # parameters("/path/filename") # For example: # acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt") # # Conditional configuration # # If-statements can be used to make configuration directives # depend on conditions: # # if <CONDITION> # ... regular configuration directives ... # [else # ... regular configuration directives ...] # endif # # The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif" # must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular # configuration directives. # # NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported. # # These individual conditions types are supported: # # true # Always evaluates to true. # false # Always evaluates to false. # <integer> = <integer> # Equality comparison of two integer numbers. # # # SMP-Related Macros # # The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used. # # ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name" # (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1). # # ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process # identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique # across all Squid processes of the current service instance. # # ${service_name} expands into the current Squid service instance # name identifier which is provided by -n on the command line. # # Logformat Macros # # Logformat macros can be used in many places outside of the logformat # directive. In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros, # where they are supported. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) when # the transaction does not yet have enough information and a value is needed. # # There is no definitive list of what tokens are available at the various # stages of the transaction. # # And some information may already be available to Squid but not yet # committed where the macro expansion code can access it (report # such instances!). The macro will be expanded into a single dash # ('-') in such cases. Not all macros have been tested. # # TAG: broken_vary_encoding # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: cache_vary # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: error_map # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: external_refresh_check # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: location_rewrite_program # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: refresh_stale_hit # This option is not yet supported by Squid-3. #Default: # none # TAG: cache_peer_domain # Replace with dstdomain ACLs and cache_peer_access. #Default: # none # TAG: ie_refresh # Remove this line.

For example, # # cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=1,2,3,4 cores=1,3,5,7 # # affects processes 1 through 4 only and places them on the first # four even cores, starting with core #1. # # CPU cores are numbered starting from 1. Requires support for # sched_getaffinity(2) and sched_setaffinity(2) system calls. # # Multiple cpu_affinity_map options are merged. # # See also: workers #Default: # Let operating system decide. # TAG: shared_memory_locking on\|off # Whether to ensure that all required shared memory is available by # "locking" that shared memory into RAM when Squid starts. The # alternative is faster startup time followed by slightly slower # performance and, if not enough RAM is actually available during # runtime, mysterious crashes. # # SMP Squid uses many shared memory segments. These segments are # brought into Squid memory space using an mmap(2) system call. During # Squid startup, the mmap() call often succeeds regardless of whether # the system has enough RAM. In general, Squid cannot tell whether the # kernel applies this "optimistic" memory allocation policy (but # popular modern kernels usually use it). # # Later, if Squid attempts to actually access the mapped memory # regions beyond what the kernel is willing to allocate, the # "optimistic" kernel simply kills Squid kid with a SIGBUS signal. # Some of the memory limits enforced by the kernel are currently # poorly understood: We do not know how to detect and check them. This # option ensures that the mapped memory will be available. # # This option may have a positive performance side-effect: Locking # memory at start avoids runtime paging I/O. Paging slows Squid down. # # Locking memory may require a large enough RLIMIT_MEMLOCK OS limit, # CAP_IPC_LOCK capability, or equivalent. #Default: # shared_memory_locking off # TAG: hopeless_kid_revival_delay time-units # Normally, when a kid process dies, Squid immediately restarts the # kid. A kid experiencing frequent deaths is marked as "hopeless" for # the duration specified by this directive. Hopeless kids are not # automatically restarted. # # Currently, zero values are not supported because they result in # misconfigured SMP Squid instances running forever, endlessly # restarting each dying kid. To effectively disable hopeless kids # revival, set the delay to a huge value (e.g., 1 year). # # Reconfiguration also clears all hopeless kids designations, allowing # for manual revival of hopeless kids. #Default: # hopeless_kid_revival_delay 1 hour # OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: auth_param # This is used to define parameters for the various authentication # schemes supported by Squid. # # format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting] # # The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is # dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE # has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic # scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure # schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended # settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't # recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either # put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their # program entry). # # Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be # shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on # the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a # different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely. # # Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes # authentication it does not automatically activate authentication. # To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based # on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or # external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be # challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered # in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new # login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth # type acl. # # WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting # proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and # not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to # transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid. # Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have # authentication disabled. # # === Parameters common to all schemes. === # # "program" cmdline # Specifies the command for the external authenticator. # # By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a # program is specified. # # See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for # more details on helper operations and creating your own. # # "key_extras" format # Specifies a string to be append to request line format for # the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain # spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro # can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if # the helper request is sent before the required macro # information is available to Squid. # # By default, Squid uses request formats provided in # scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials). # # The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials # cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to # autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g., # when user authentication depends on http_port). # # Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For # example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently # in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat # every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL # and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also # force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP # changes. # # "realm" string # Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be # reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is # commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for # their username and password. # # For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server". # For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory. # For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored. # # "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N] # [queue-size=N] [on-persistent-overload=action] # # The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If # you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process # a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When # password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are # likely to need lots of authenticator processes. # # The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact # amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup # and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to # idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N # free above those traffic needs up to the maximum. # # The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests # the helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers # who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a # number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a # channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing # multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel # without waiting for the response. # # Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper # supports the input format with channel-ID fields. # # The queue-size option sets the maximum number of queued # requests. A request is queued when no existing child can # accept it due to concurrency limit and no new child can be # started due to numberofchildren limit. The default maximum is # 2numberofchildren. Squid is allowed to temporarily exceed the # configured maximum, marking the affected helper as # "overloaded". If the helper overload lasts more than 3 # minutes, the action prescribed by the on-persistent-overload # option applies. # # The on-persistent-overload=action option specifies Squid # reaction to a new helper request arriving when the helper # has been overloaded for more that 3 minutes already. The number # of queued requests determines whether the helper is overloaded # (see the queue-size option). # # Two actions are supported: # # die Squid worker quits. This is the default behavior. # # ERR Squid treats the helper request as if it was # immediately submitted, and the helper immediately # replied with an ERR response. This action has no effect # on the already queued and in-progress helper requests. # # NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency # in the Squid code module even though some helpers can. # # # # === Example Configuration === # # This configuration displays the recommended authentication scheme # order from most to least secure with recommended minimum configuration # settings for each scheme: # ##auth_param negotiate program <uncomment and complete this line to activate> ##auth_param negotiate children 20 startup=0 idle=1 ##auth_param negotiate keep_alive on ## ##auth_param digest program <uncomment and complete this line to activate> ##auth_param digest children 20 startup=0 idle=1 ##auth_param digest realm Squid proxy-caching web server ##auth_param digest nonce_garbage_interval 5 minutes ##auth_param digest nonce_max_duration 30 minutes ##auth_param digest nonce_max_count 50 ## ##auth_param ntlm program <uncomment and complete this line to activate> ##auth_param ntlm children 20 startup=0 idle=1 ##auth_param ntlm keep_alive on ## ##auth_param basic program <uncomment and complete this line> ##auth_param basic children 5 startup=5 idle=1 ##auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server ##auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours #Default: # none # TAG: authenticate_cache_garbage_interval # The time period between garbage collection across the username cache. # This is a trade-off between memory utilization (long intervals - say # 2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you # have good reason to. #Default: # authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 1 hour # TAG: authenticate_ttl # The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in # user cache since their last request. When the garbage # interval passes, all user credentials that have passed their # TTL are removed from memory. #Default: # authenticate_ttl 1 hour # TAG: authenticate_ip_ttl # If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL, # this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP # addresses associated with each user. Use a small value # (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses # quickly, as is the case with dialup. You might be safe # using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN # environment with relatively static address assignments. #Default: # authenticate_ip_ttl 1 second # ACCESS CONTROLS # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: external_acl_type # This option defines external acl classes using a helper program # to look up the status # # external_acl_type name [options] FORMAT /path/to/helper [helper arguments] # # Options: # # ttl=n TTL in seconds for cached results (defaults to 3600 # for 1 hour) # # negative_ttl=n # TTL for cached negative lookups (default same # as ttl) # # grace=n Percentage remaining of TTL where a refresh of a # cached entry should be initiated without needing to # wait for a new reply. (default is for no grace period) # # cache=n The maximum number of entries in the result cache. The # default limit is 262144 entries. Each cache entry usually # consumes at least 256 bytes. Squid currently does not remove # expired cache entries until the limit is reached, so a proxy # will sooner or later reach the limit. The expanded FORMAT # value is used as the cache key, so if the details in FORMAT # are highly variable, a larger cache may be needed to produce # reduction in helper load. # # children-max=n # Maximum number of acl helper processes spawned to service # external acl lookups of this type. (default 5) # # children-startup=n # Minimum number of acl helper processes to spawn during # startup and reconfigure to service external acl lookups # of this type. (default 0) # # children-idle=n # Number of acl helper processes to keep ahead of traffic # loads. Squid will spawn this many at once whenever load # rises above the capabilities of existing processes. # Up to the value of children-max. (default 1) # # concurrency=n concurrency level per process. Only used with helpers # capable of processing more than one query at a time. # # queue-size=N The queue-size option sets the maximum number of # queued requests. A request is queued when no existing # helper can accept it due to concurrency limit and no # new helper can be started due to children-max limit. # If the queued requests exceed queue size, the acl is # ignored. The default value is set to 2children-max. # # protocol=2.5 Compatibility mode for Squid-2.5 external acl helpers. # # ipv4 / ipv6 IP protocol used to communicate with this helper. # The default is to auto-detect IPv6 and use it when available. # # # FORMAT is a series of %macro codes. See logformat directive for a full list # of the accepted codes. Although note that at the time of any external ACL # being tested data may not be available and thus some %macro expand to '-'. # # In addition to the logformat codes; when processing external ACLs these # additional macros are made available: # # %ACL The name of the ACL being tested. # # %DATA The ACL arguments specified in the referencing config # 'acl ... external' line, separated by spaces (an # "argument string"). see acl external. # # If there are no ACL arguments %DATA expands to '-'. # # If you do not specify a DATA macro inside FORMAT, # Squid automatically appends %DATA to your FORMAT. # Note that Squid-3.x may expand %DATA to whitespace # or nothing in this case. # # By default, Squid applies URL-encoding to each ACL # argument inside the argument string. If an explicit # encoding modifier is used (e.g., %#DATA), then Squid # encodes the whole argument string as a single token # (e.g., with %#DATA, spaces between arguments become # %20). # # If SSL is enabled, the following formating codes become available: # # %USER_CERT SSL User certificate in PEM format # %USER_CERTCHAIN SSL User certificate chain in PEM format # %USER_CERT_xx SSL User certificate subject attribute xx # %USER_CA_CERT_xx SSL User certificate issuer attribute xx # # # NOTE: all other format codes accepted by older Squid versions # are deprecated. # # # General request syntax: # # [channel-ID] FORMAT-values # # # FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with # whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification # using the FORMAT macros listed above. # # Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect # each value in requests against whitespaces. # # If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not # URL escaped to protect against whitespace. # # NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary. # # When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by # introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response. # The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1. # This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part # of the response relating to its request. # # # The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification # and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result # code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details. # # # General result syntax: # # [channel-ID] result keyword=value ... # # Result consists of one of the codes: # # OK # the ACL test produced a match. # # ERR # the ACL test does not produce a match. # # BH # An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing # a result being identified. # # The meaning of 'a match' is determined by your squid.conf # access control configuration. See the Squid wiki for details. # # Defined keywords: # # user= The users name (login) # # password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option) # # message= Message describing the reason for this response. # Available as %o in error pages. # Useful on (ERR and BH results). # # tag= Apply a tag to a request. Only sets a tag once, # does not alter existing tags. # # log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as # %ea in logformat specifications. # # clt_conn_tag= Associates a TAG with the client TCP connection. # Please see url_rewrite_program related documentation # for this kv-pair. # # Any keywords may be sent on any response whether OK, ERR or BH. # # All response keyword values need to be a single token with URL # escaping, or enclosed in double quotes (") and escaped using \ on # any double quotes or \ characters within the value. The wrapping # double quotes are removed before the value is interpreted by Squid. # \r and \n are also replace by CR and LF. # # Some example key values: # # user=John%20Smith # user="John Smith" # user="J. \"Bob\" Smith" #Default: # none # TAG: acl # Defining an Access List # # Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype, # followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that # they are read from. # # acl aclname acltype argument ... # acl aclname acltype "file" ... # # When using "file", the file should contain one item per line. # # # ACL Options # # Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour: # # -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE.

To return case-sensitive # use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line # without -i. # # -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or # conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or # domain name) does not match the message address type (domain # name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch # without any warnings or lookups. # # -m[=delimiters] # Perform a list membership test, interpreting values as # comma-separated token lists and matching against individual # tokens instead of whole values. # The optional "delimiters" parameter specifies one or more # alternative non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. # non-alphanumeric delimiter characters. # # -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl # value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-' # is a valid domain name) # # Some acl types require suspending the current request in order # to access some external data source. # Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which # don't are marked as [fast]. # See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl # for further information # # *** ACL TYPES AVAILABLE *** # # acl aclname src ip-address/mask ... # clients IP address [fast] # acl aclname src addr1-addr2/mask ... # range of addresses [fast] # acl aclname dst [-n] ip-address/mask ... # URL host's IP address [slow] # acl aclname localip ip-address/mask ... # IP address the client connected to [fast] # #if USE_SQUID_EUI # acl aclname arp mac-address ... # acl aclname eui64 eui64-address ... # # [fast] # # MAC (EUI-48) and EUI-64 addresses use xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx notation. # # # # The 'arp' ACL code is not portable to all operating systems. # # It works on Linux, Solaris, Windows, FreeBSD, and some other # # BSD variants. # # # # The eui_lookup directive is required to be 'on' (the default) # # and Squid built with --enable-eui for MAC/EUI addresses to be # # available for this ACL. # # # # Squid can only determine the MAC/EUI address for IPv4 # # clients that are on the same subnet.

Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not # currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not # even been tested for compatibility.

The same happens to Native FTP # responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages # are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers # between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to # examine, adapt, block, and log FTP exchanges. Squid reuses most HTTP # mechanisms when shoveling wrapped FTP messages. For example, # http_access and adaptation_access directives are used. # # Modes: # # intercept Same as http_port intercept. The FTP origin address is # determined based on the intended destination of the # intercepted connection. # # tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing # connections using the client IP address. # NP: disables authentication and maybe IPv6 on the port. # # By default (i.e., without an explicit mode option), Squid extracts the # FTP origin address from the login@origin parameter of the FTP USER # command.

This directive accepts a comma separated # list of options described below. # # htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier). # # htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without # sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with # only-clr. # # htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests. # This cannot be used with no-clr. # # htcp=no-purge-clr # Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when # they do not result from PURGE requests. # # htcp=forward-clr # Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer. # # # ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ==== # # The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer # being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing. # # # default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort" # if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods. # If specified more than once, only the first is used. # # round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin # fashion in the absence of any ICP queries. # weight=N can be used to add bias. # # weighted-round-robin # Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin # fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the # round trip time. Closer parents are used more often. # Usually used for background-ping parents. # weight=N can be used to add bias. # # carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array. # The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the # CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight. # # userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username. # # sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP. # # multicast-siblings # To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast". # ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling" # relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast # group when the requested object would be fetched only from # a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when # configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being # members of the same multicast group. # # # ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ==== # # weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted # peer-selection mechanisms. # The weight must be an integer; default is 1, # larger weights are favored more. # This option does not affect parent selection if a peering # protocol is not in use. # # basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip # times of parents. # It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating # which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the # base time the rtt is set to a minimal value. # # ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries # to this address. # Only useful when sending to a multicast group. # Because we don't accept ICP replies from random # hosts, you must configure other group members as # peers with the 'multicast-responder' option. # # no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the # delay pools. # # digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are # enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather # than the Squid default location. # # # ==== CARP OPTIONS ==== # # carp-key=key-specification # use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer. # the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords # scheme, host, port, path, params # Order is not important. # # ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ==== # # originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server. # Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer # is a web server. # # forceddomain=name # Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer. # Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer) # expects a certain domain name but clients may request # others. ie example.com or www.example.com # # no-digest Disable request of cache digests. # # no-netdb-exchange # Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB). # # # ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ==== # # login=user:password # If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent # requires proxy authentication. # # Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for # spaces). This also means % must be written as %%. # # login=PASSTHRU # Send login details received from client to this peer. # Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed # without alteration to the peer. # Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work. # # Note: This will pass any form of authentication but # only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the # connection-auth options are also used. # # login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer. # Authentication is not required by this option. # # If there are no client-provided authentication headers # to pass on, but username and password are available # from an external ACL user= and password= result tags # they may be sent instead. # # Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must # share the same user database as HTTP only allows for # a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server). # Also be warned this will expose your users proxy # password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION # # login=:password # Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a # fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer # is in another administrative domain, but it is still # needed to identify each user. # The star can optionally be followed by some extra # information which is added to the username.

Default is ON. # # tls-no-npn Do not use the TLS NPN extension to advertise HTTP/1.1. # # ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ==== # # connect-timeout=N # A peer-specific connect timeout. # Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive. # # connect-fail-limit=N # How many times connecting to a peer must fail before # it is marked as down. Standby connection failures # count towards this limit. Default is 10. # # allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding # requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when # icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use # of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way # to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to # deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer: # acl fromPeer ... # cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer # # max-conn=N Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid # may open to this peer, including already opened idle # and standby connections. There is no peer-specific # connection limit by default. # # A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new # requests unless a standby connection is available. # # max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent # connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit, # and there are idle persistent connections to the peer, # the peer may not be selected because the limiting code # does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle # connections. # # standby=N Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an # UP peer, available for requests when no idle # persistent connection is available (or safe) to use. # By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained. # N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any). # # At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP # standby connections until there are N connections # available and then replenishes the standby pool as # opened connections are used up for requests. A used # connection never goes back to the standby pool, but # may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool # shared by all peers and origin servers. # # Squid never opens multiple new standby connections # concurrently. This one-at-a-time approach minimizes # flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few # standby connections should be sufficient in most cases # to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use # connection. # # Standby connections obey server_idle_pconn_timeout. # For the feature to work as intended, the peer must be # configured to accept and keep them open longer than # the idle timeout at the connecting Squid, to minimize # race conditions typical to idle used persistent # connections. Default request_timeout and # server_idle_pconn_timeout values ensure such a # configuration. # # name=xxx Unique name for the peer. # Required if you have multiple peers on the same host # but different ports. # This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar # directives to identify the peer. # Can be used by outgoing access controls through the # peername ACL type. # # no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding # requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead. # This overrides the spoof_client_ip ACL. # # proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally. # #Default: # none # TAG: cache_peer_access # Restricts usage of cache_peer proxies. # # Usage: # cache_peer_access peer-name allow\|deny [!]aclname ... # # For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the # cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the # cache_peer hostname parameter. # # This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but # does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are # contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms # (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation). # # If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted # for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and # will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves # the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given # peer wins for that peer. # # The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer # matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives # for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a # good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer # together. # # A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times # for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms # may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks # may be optimized away in future Squid versions. # # This clause only supports fast acl types. # See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details. # #Default: # No peer usage restrictions. # TAG: neighbor_type_domain # Modify the cache_peer neighbor type when passing requests # about specific domains to the peer. # # Usage: # neighbor_type_domain neighbor parent\|sibling domain domain ... # # For example: # cache_peer foo.example.com parent 3128 3130 # neighbor_type_domain foo.example.com sibling .au .de # # The above configuration treats all requests to foo.example.com as a # parent proxy unless the request is for a .au or .de ccTLD domain name. #Default: # The peer type from cache_peer directive is used for all requests to that peer. # TAG: dead_peer_timeout (seconds) # This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache # as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this # amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not # expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it # continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as # alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. # # This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP # replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have # passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not # expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if # your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you # will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers # instead of to your parents. #Default: # dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds # TAG: forward_max_tries # Limits the number of attempts to forward the request. # # For the purpose of this limit, Squid counts all high-level request # forwarding attempts, including any same-destination retries after # certain persistent connection failures and any attempts to use a # different peer. However, low-level connection reopening attempts # (enabled using connect_retries) are not counted. # # See also: forward_timeout and connect_retries. #Default: # forward_max_tries 25 # MEMORY CACHE OPTIONS # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: cache_mem (bytes) # NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE. # IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL # USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS.

SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS. # # 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used # for: # In-Transit objects # * Hot Objects # * Negative-Cached objects # # Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This # parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of # 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest # priority. # # In-transit objects have priority over the others.

Diskers # are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support # for the IpcIo disk I/O module. # # swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or # reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation # will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By # default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit # enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because # blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the # expected swap wait time. # # max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using # the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that # would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are # delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are # not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and # since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out # requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller. # This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too # many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes # while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together # with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows # when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default # and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit # enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only. # # slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for # storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least # one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so # increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while # decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a # multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to # 16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and # smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than # 100 bytes. # # # ==== COMMON OPTIONS ==== # # no-store no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir. # # min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir # will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir # to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while # other stores are optimized for smaller objects # (e.g. Rock). # Defaults to 0. # # max-size=n the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir # supports. # The value in maximum_object_size directive sets # the default unless more specific details are # available (ie a small store capacity). # # Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order # the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first. # #Default: # No disk cache. Store cache ojects only in memory. # # Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory. cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256 # TAG: store_dir_select_algorithm # How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response # object will fit into more than one. # # Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size # and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect # the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered # cache_dir. # # Algorithms: # # least-load # # This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir # sizes and disk speeds. # # The disk with the least I/O pending is selected. # When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking # the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected. # # When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks # have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more # capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput # may be very unbalanced towards larger disks. # # # round-robin # # This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir # disk sizes. # # Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable # cache_dir is used. # # Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation # to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and # max-size parameters. # # Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow # disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any # I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile. # # If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other # limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such # cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias # towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave # cache_dir lines from different groups.

Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP # messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used # for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example: # # http::>h To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to # the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are # HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP # response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them # (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD). # # http::<h Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP # service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular # REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during # request satisfaction in REQMOD). # # ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages. # # Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP # message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message # (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When # computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid # either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see # code-specific documentation for details. # # For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently # computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not # in use at all. # # The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs: # # icap::<A ICAP server IP address.

It can be useful while the cache is mostly # empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating # non-conditional GETs. # # When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If- headers # to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable # payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created. # # When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will # remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from # the request sent to the server.

EDNS provides a means for Squid to # negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having # to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit # will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS. # # Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes # over 1500 bytes requires network jumbogram support and is usually not # necessary. # # WARNING: The RFC also indicates that some older resolvers will reply # with failure of the whole request if the extension is added. Some # resolvers have already been identified which will reply with mangled # EDNS response on occasion. Usually in response to many-KB jumbogram # sizes being advertised by Squid. # Squid will currently treat these both as an unable-to-resolve domain # even if it would be resolvable without EDNS. #Default: # EDNS disabled # TAG: dns_defnames on\|off # Normally the RES_DEFNAMES resolver option is disabled # (see res_init(3)).

It is mostly useful in # adaptation environments. # # When Squid receives an HTTP request with an "Expect: 100-continue" # header or an FTP upload command (e.g., STOR), Squid normally sends the # request headers or FTP command information to an adaptation service (or # peer) and waits for a response. Most adaptation services (and some # broken peers) may not respond to Squid at that stage because they may # decide to wait for the HTTP request body or FTP data transfer. However, # that request body or data transfer may never come because Squid has not # responded with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 (Please Continue) control message # to the request sender yet! # # An allow match tells Squid to respond with the HTTP 100 or FTP 150 # (Please Continue) control message on its own, before forwarding the # request to an adaptation service or peer. Such a response usually forces # the request sender to proceed with sending the body. A deny match tells # Squid to delay that control response until the origin server confirms # that the request body is needed. Delaying is the default behavior. #Default: # Deny, unless rules exist in squid.conf. # TAG: server_pconn_for_nonretriable # This option provides fine-grained control over persistent connection # reuse when forwarding HTTP requests that Squid cannot retry. It is useful # in environments where opening new connections is very expensive # (e.g., all connections are secured with TLS with complex client and server # certificate validation) and race conditions associated with persistent # connections are very rare and/or only cause minor problems. # # HTTP prohibits retrying unsafe and non-idempotent requests (e.g., POST). # Squid limitations also prohibit retrying all requests with bodies (e.g., PUT). # By default, when forwarding such "risky" requests, Squid opens a new # connection to the server or cache_peer, even if there is an idle persistent # connection available. When Squid is configured to risk sending a non-retriable # request on a previously used persistent connection, and the server closes # the connection before seeing that risky request, the user gets an error response # from Squid. In most cases, that error response will be HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway) # with ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT or ERR_WRITE_ERROR (peer connection reset) error detail. # # If an allow rule matches, Squid reuses an available idle persistent connection # (if any) for the request that Squid cannot retry. If a deny rule matches, then # Squid opens a new connection for the request that Squid cannot retry. # # This option does not affect requests that Squid can retry. They will reuse idle # persistent connections (if any). # # This clause only supports fast acl types. # See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details. # # Example: # acl SpeedIsWorthTheRisk method POST # server_pconn_for_nonretriable allow SpeedIsWorthTheRisk #Default: # Open new connections for forwarding requests Squid cannot retry safely.
