1# WELCOME TO SQUID 3.4.8
2# ----------------------------
3#
4# This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
5# This documentation can also be found online at:
6# http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
7#
8# You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
9# FAQ and other documentation:
10# http://www.squid-cache.org/
11# http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
12# http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
13#
14# This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
15# happen to be. If you don't need to change the default, you should
16# leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
17#
18# In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
19# while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
20# - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.
21#
22
23# Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
24# Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
25# supported.
26#
27# For example,
28#
29# include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
30#
31# Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
32# This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
33# from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
34# configuration files.
35#
36# Values with byte units
37#
38# Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All
39# such directives are documented with a default value displaying
40# a unit.
41#
42# Units accepted by Squid are:
43# bytes - byte
44# KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
45# MB - Megabyte
46# GB - Gigabyte
47#
48# Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters
49#
50# Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other
51# special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use
52# the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or
53# disable that support.
54#
55# For example;
56#
57# configuration_includes_quoted_values on
58# acl group external groupCheck Administrators "Internet Users" Guest
59# configuration_includes_quoted_values off
60#
61#
62# Conditional configuration
63#
64# If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
65# depend on conditions:
66#
67# if <CONDITION>
68# ... regular configuration directives ...
69# [else
70# ... regular configuration directives ...]
71# endif
72#
73# The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
74# must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
75# configuration directives.
76#
77# NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
78#
79# These individual conditions types are supported:
80#
81# true
82# Always evaluates to true.
83# false
84# Always evaluates to false.
85# <integer> = <integer>
86# Equality comparison of two integer numbers.
87#
88#
89# SMP-Related Macros
90#
91# The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
92#
93# ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"
94# (e.g., squid1, squid2, or cache1).
95#
96# ${process_number} expands to the current Squid process
97# identifier, which is an integer number (e.g., 1, 2, 3) unique
98# across all Squid processes.

224# OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
225# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
226
227# TAG: auth_param
228# This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
229# schemes supported by Squid.
230#
231# format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
232#
233# The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
234# dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
235# has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
236# scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
237# schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
238# settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
239# recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
240# put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
241# program entry).
242#
243# Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
244# shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
245# the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
246# different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
247#
248# Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
249# authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
250# To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
251# on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
252# external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
253# challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
254# in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
255# login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
256# type acl.
257#
258# WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
259# proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
260# not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
261# transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
262# Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
263# authentication disabled.
264#
265# === Parameters for the basic scheme follow. ===
266#
267# "program" cmdline
268# Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a program
269# reads a line containing "username password" and replies with one of
270# three results:
271#
272# OK
273# the user exists.
274#
275# ERR
276# the user does not exist.
277#
278# BH
279# An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing
280# a result being identified.
281#
282# "ERR" and "BH" results may optionally be followed by message="..."
283# containing a description available as %m in the returned error page.
284#
285# If you use an authenticator, make sure you have 1 acl of type
286# proxy_auth.
287#
288# By default, the basic authentication scheme is not used unless a
289# program is specified.
290#
291# If you want to use the traditional NCSA proxy authentication, set
292# this line to something like
293#
294# auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid3/basic_ncsa_auth /usr/etc/passwd
295#
296# "utf8" on|off
297# HTTP uses iso-latin-1 as character set, while some authentication
298# backends such as LDAP expects UTF-8. If this is set to on Squid will
299# translate the HTTP iso-latin-1 charset to UTF-8 before sending the
300# username & password to the helper.
301#
302# "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
303# The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If you start too few
304# Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of credential
305# verifications, slowing it down. When password verifications are
306# done via a (slow) network you are likely to need lots of
307# authenticator processes.
308#
309# The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact amount
310# run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup and reconfigure.
311# Squid will start more in groups of up to idle=N in an attempt to meet
312# traffic needs and to keep idle=N free above those traffic needs up to
313# the maximum.
314#
315# The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests the
316# helper can process. The default of 0 is used for helpers who only
317# supports one request at a time. Setting this to a number greater than
318# 0 changes the protocol used to include a channel number first on the
319# request/response line, allowing multiple requests to be sent to the
320# same helper in parallel without waiting for the response.
321# Must not be set unless it's known the helper supports this.
322#
323# auth_param basic children 20 startup=0 idle=1
324#
325# "realm" realmstring
326# Specifies the realm name which is to be reported to the
327# client for the basic proxy authentication scheme (part of
328# the text the user will see when prompted their username and
329# password). There is no default.
330# auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
331#
332# "credentialsttl" timetolive
333# Specifies how long squid assumes an externally validated
334# username:password pair is valid for - in other words how
335# often the helper program is called for that user. Set this
336# low to force revalidation with short lived passwords. Note
337# setting this high does not impact your susceptibility
338# to replay attacks unless you are using an one-time password
339# system (such as SecureID). If you are using such a system,
340# you will be vulnerable to replay attacks unless you also
341# use the max_user_ip ACL in an http_access rule.
342#
343# "casesensitive" on|off
344# Specifies if usernames are case sensitive. Most user databases are
345# case insensitive allowing the same username to be spelled using both
346# lower and upper case letters, but some are case sensitive. This
347# makes a big difference for user_max_ip ACL processing and similar.
348# auth_param basic casesensitive off
349#
350# === Parameters for the digest scheme follow ===
351#
352# "program" cmdline

374#
375# If you want to use a digest authenticator, set this line to
376# something like
377#
378# auth_param digest program /usr/lib/squid3/digest_pw_auth /usr/etc/digpass

432# (ie, 1,2,4,6)). Default off.
433#
434# "check_nonce_count" on|off
435# This directive if set to off can disable the nonce count check

665#
666# %% The percent sign. Useful for helpers which need
667# an unchanging input format.
668#
669#
670# General request syntax:
671#
672# [channel-ID] FORMAT-values [acl-values ...]
673#
674#
675# FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with
676# whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification
677# using the FORMAT macros listed above.
678#
679# acl-values consists of any string specified in the referencing
680# config 'acl ... external' line. see the "acl external" directive.
681#
682# Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect
683# each value in requests against whitespaces.
684#
685# If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not
686# URL escaped to protect against whitespace.
687#
688# NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary.
689#
690# When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
691# introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response.
692# The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
693# This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part
694# of the response relating to its request.
695#
696#
697# The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification
698# and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result
699# code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details.
700#
701#
702# General result syntax:
703#
704# [channel-ID] result keyword=value ...
705#
706# Result consists of one of the codes:
707#
708# OK
709# the ACL test produced a match.
710#
711# ERR
712# the ACL test does not produce a match.
713#
714# BH
715# An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing
716# a result being identified.
717#
718# The meaning of 'a match' is determined by your squid.conf
719# access control configuration. See the Squid wiki for details.
720#
721# Defined keywords:
722#
723# user= The users name (login)
724#
725# password= The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
726#
727# message= Message describing the reason for this response.
728# Available as %o in error pages.
729# Useful on (ERR and BH results).
730#
731# tag= Apply a tag to a request. Only sets a tag once,
732# does not alter existing tags.
733#
734# log= String to be logged in access.log. Available as
735# %ea in logformat specifications.
736#
737# Any keywords may be sent on any response whether OK, ERR or BH.
738#
739# All response keyword values need to be a single token with URL
740# escaping, or enclosed in double quotes (") and escaped using \ on
741# any double quotes or \ characters within the value. The wrapping
742# double quotes are removed before the value is interpreted by Squid.
743# \r and \n are also replace by CR and LF.
744#
745# Some example key values:
746#
747# user=John%20Smith
748# user="John Smith"
749# user="J. \"Bob\" Smith"
750#Default:
751# none

753# TAG: acl
754# Defining an Access List
755#
756# Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype,
757# followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that
758# they are read from.
759#
760# acl aclname acltype argument ...
761# acl aclname acltype "file" ...
762#
763# When using "file", the file should contain one item per line.
764#
765# Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour.
766# The available options are:
767#
768# -i,+i By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them
769# case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive
770# use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line
771# without -i.
772#
773# -n Disable lookups and address type conversions. If lookup or
774# conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or
775# domain name) does not match the message address type (domain
776# name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch
777# without any warnings or lookups.
778#
779# -- Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl
780# value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-'
781# is a valid domain name)
782#
783# Some acl types require suspending the current request in order
784# to access some external data source.
785# Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which
786# don't are marked as [fast].

1061# Allowing or Denying the X-Forwarded-For header to be followed to
1062# find the original source of a request.
1063#
1064# Requests may pass through a chain of several other proxies
1065# before reaching us. The X-Forwarded-For header will contain a
1066# comma-separated list of the IP addresses in the chain, with the
1067# rightmost address being the most recent.
1068#
1069# If a request reaches us from a source that is allowed by this
1070# configuration item, then we consult the X-Forwarded-For header
1071# to see where that host received the request from. If the
1072# X-Forwarded-For header contains multiple addresses, we continue
1073# backtracking until we reach an address for which we are not allowed
1074# to follow the X-Forwarded-For header, or until we reach the first
1075# address in the list. For the purpose of ACL used in the
1076# follow_x_forwarded_for directive the src ACL type always matches
1077# the address we are testing and srcdomain matches its rDNS.
1078#
1079# The end result of this process is an IP address that we will
1080# refer to as the indirect client address. This address may
1081# be treated as the client address for access control, ICAP, delay
1082# pools and logging, depending on the acl_uses_indirect_client,

2163# does not allow Squid to mimic server SSL certificate and does
2164# not work with intercepted SSL connections.
2165#
2166# server-first
2167# Allow bumping of the connection. Establish a secure connection
2168# with the server first, then establish a secure connection with
2169# the client, using a mimicked server certificate. Works with both

2174# Works with both CONNECT requests and intercepted SSL
2175# connections. This is the default behavior when no

2177#
2178# By default, no connections are bumped.
2179#
2180# The first matching ssl_bump option wins. If no ACLs match, the

2466# type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
2467#
2468# proxy-port: The port number where the peer accept HTTP requests.
2469# For other Squid proxies this is usually 3128
2470# For web servers this is usually 80
2471#
2472# icp-port: Used for querying neighbor caches about objects.
2473# Set to 0 if the peer does not support ICP or HTCP.
2474# See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
2475#
2476#
2477# ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
2478#
2479# You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
2480# The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
2481#
2482#
2483# no-query Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
2484#
2485# multicast-responder
2486# Indicates the named peer is a member of a multicast group.
2487# ICP queries will not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP
2488# replies will be accepted from it.
2489#
2490# closest-only Indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS replies, we'll only forward
2491# CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
2492#
2493# background-ping
2494# To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
2495# This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
2496# and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
2497#
2498#
2499# ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
2500#
2501# You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
2502# The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
2503#
2504#
2505# htcp Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
2506# You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
2507# instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
2508# list of options described below.
2509#
2510# htcp=oldsquid Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
2511#
2512# htcp=no-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
2513# sending any CLR requests. This cannot be used with
2514# only-clr.
2515#
2516# htcp=only-clr Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
2517# This cannot be used with no-clr.
2518#
2519# htcp=no-purge-clr
2520# Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
2521# they do not result from PURGE requests.
2522#
2523# htcp=forward-clr
2524# Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
2525#
2526#
2527# ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
2528#
2529# The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
2530# being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
2531#
2532#
2533# default This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
2534# if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
2535# If specified more than once, only the first is used.
2536#
2537# round-robin Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2538# fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
2539# weight=N can be used to add bias.
2540#
2541# weighted-round-robin
2542# Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
2543# fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
2544# round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
2545# Usually used for background-ping parents.
2546# weight=N can be used to add bias.
2547#
2548# carp Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
2549# The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
2550# CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
2551#
2552# userhash Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
2553#
2554# sourcehash Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
2555#
2556# multicast-siblings
2557# To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
2558# ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
2559# relationship with it, not "parent". This is to a multicast
2560# group when the requested object would be fetched only from
2561# a "parent" cache, anyway. It's useful, e.g., when
2562# configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
2563# members of the same multicast group.
2564#
2565#
2566# ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
2567#
2568# weight=N use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
2569# peer-selection mechanisms.
2570# The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
2571# larger weights are favored more.
2572# This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
2573# protocol is not in use.
2574#
2575# basetime=N Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
2576# times of parents.
2577# It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
2578# which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
2579# base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
2580#
2581# ttl=N Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
2582# to this address.
2583# Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
2584# Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
2585# hosts, you must configure other group members as
2586# peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
2587#
2588# no-delay To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
2589# delay pools.
2590#
2591# digest-url=URL Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
2592# enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
2593# than the Squid default location.
2594#
2595#
2596# ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
2597#
2598# carp-key=key-specification
2599# use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
2600# the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
2601# scheme, host, port, path, params
2602# Order is not important.
2603#
2604# ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
2605#
2606# originserver Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
2607# Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
2608# is a web server.
2609#
2610# forceddomain=name
2611# Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
2612# Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
2613# expects a certain domain name but clients may request
2614# others. ie example.com or www.example.com
2615#
2616# no-digest Disable request of cache digests.
2617#
2618# no-netdb-exchange
2619# Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
2620#
2621#
2622# ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
2623#
2624# login=user:password
2625# If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2626# requires proxy authentication.
2627#
2628# Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
2629# spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
2630#
2631# login=PASSTHRU
2632# Send login details received from client to this peer.
2633# Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
2634# without alteration to the peer.
2635# Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
2636#
2637# Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
2638# only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
2639# connection-auth options are also used.
2640#
2641# login=PASS Send login details received from client to this peer.
2642# Authentication is not required by this option.
2643#
2644# If there are no client-provided authentication headers
2645# to pass on, but username and password are available
2646# from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
2647# they may be sent instead.
2648#
2649# Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
2650# share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
2651# a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
2652# Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
2653# password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
2654#
2655# login=*:password
2656# Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
2657# fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
2658# is in another administrative domain, but it is still
2659# needed to identify each user.
2660# The star can optionally be followed by some extra
2661# information which is added to the username. This can
2662# be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
2663# the login=username:password option above.
2664#
2665# login=NEGOTIATE
2666# If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
2667# requires a secure proxy authentication.
2668# The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
2669# the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.

2772# ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
2773#
2774# connect-timeout=N
2775# A peer-specific connect timeout.
2776# Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
2777#
2778# connect-fail-limit=N
2779# How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
2780# it is marked as down. Default is 10.
2781#
2782# allow-miss Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
2783# requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
2784# icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. To extensive use
2785# of this option may result in forwarding loops, and you
2786# should avoid having two-way peerings with this option.
2787# For example to deny peer usage on requests from peer
2788# by denying cache_peer_access if the source is a peer.
2789#
2790# max-conn=N Limit the amount of connections Squid may open to this
2791# peer. see also
2792#
2793# name=xxx Unique name for the peer.
2794# Required if you have multiple peers on the same host
2795# but different ports.
2796# This name can be used in cache_peer_access and similar
2797# directives to dentify the peer.
2798# Can be used by outgoing access controls through the
2799# peername ACL type.
2800#
2801# no-tproxy Do not use the client-spoof TPROXY support when forwarding
2802# requests to this peer. Use normal address selection instead.
2803# This overrides the spoof_client_ip ACL.
2804#
2805# proxy-only objects fetched from the peer will not be stored locally.
2806#
2807#Default:
2808# none
2809
2810# TAG: cache_peer_domain
2811# Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be
2812# queried.
2813#
2814# Usage:
2815# cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
2816# cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain
2817#
2818# For example, specifying
2819#
2820# cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu
2821#
2822# has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
2823# 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
2824# server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname
2825# with '!' means the cache will be queried for objects
2826# NOT in that domain.
2827#
2828# NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
2829# either on the same or separate lines.
2830# * When multiple domains are given for a particular
2831# cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
2832# * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
2833# for all requests.
2834# * There are no defaults.
2835# * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL
2836# section.
2837#Default:
2838# none
2839
2840# TAG: cache_peer_access
2841# Similar to 'cache_peer_domain' but provides more flexibility by
2842# using ACL elements.
2843#
2844# Usage:
2845# cache_peer_access cache-host allow|deny [!]aclname ...
2846#
2847# The syntax is identical to 'http_access' and the other lists of
2848# ACL elements. See the comments for 'http_access' below, or
2849# the Squid FAQ (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl).
2850#Default:

2852
2853# TAG: neighbor_type_domain
2854# Modify the cache_peer neighbor type when passing requests
2855# about specific domains to the peer.
2856#
2857# Usage:
2858# neighbor_type_domain neighbor parent|sibling domain domain ...
2859#
2860# For example:
2861# cache_peer foo.example.com parent 3128 3130
2862# neighbor_type_domain foo.example.com sibling .au .de
2863#
2864# The above configuration treats all requests to foo.example.com as a
2865# parent proxy unless the request is for a .au or .de ccTLD domain name.
2866#Default:
2867# The peer type from cache_peer directive is used for all requests to that peer.
2868
2869# TAG: dead_peer_timeout (seconds)
2870# This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
2871# as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this
2872# amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
2873# expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it
2874# continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
2875# alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
2876#
2877# This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
2878# replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
2879# passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
2880# expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if
2881# your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
2882# will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
2883# instead of to your parents.
2884#Default:
2885# dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds
2886
2887# TAG: forward_max_tries
2888# Controls how many different forward paths Squid will try
2889# before giving up. See also forward_timeout.
2890#
2891# NOTE: connect_retries (default: none) can make each of these
2892# possible forwarding paths be tried multiple times.
2893#Default:
2894# forward_max_tries 10
2895
2896# TAG: hierarchy_stoplist
2897# A list of words which, if found in a URL, cause the object to
2898# be handled directly by this cache. In other words, use this
2899# to not query neighbor caches for certain objects. You may

2909# MEMORY CACHE OPTIONS
2910# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2911
2912# TAG: cache_mem (bytes)
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.
2947#Default:
2948# cache_mem 256 MB
2949
2950# TAG: maximum_object_size_in_memory (bytes)
2951# Objects greater than this size will not be attempted to kept in
2952# the memory cache. This should be set high enough to keep objects
2953# accessed frequently in memory to improve performance whilst low
2954# enough to keep larger objects from hoarding cache_mem.
2955#Default:
2956# maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB
2957
2958# TAG: memory_cache_shared on|off
2959# Controls whether the memory cache is shared among SMP workers.
2960#
2961# The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
2962# the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
2963# cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
2964# objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory
2965# caching is enabled).
2966#
2967# By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the
2968# following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
2969# multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
2970# supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
2971# and GCC-style atomic operations).
2972#
2973# To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
2974# that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
2975# shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.
2976#
2977# Currently, entities exceeding 32KB in size cannot be shared.
2978#Default:

3015#
3016# The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
3017#
3018# The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
3019# popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
3020# hit. It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
3021# it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
3022#
3023# The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
3024# their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
3025# hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
3026# smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
3027#
3028# Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
3029# cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
3030# replacement policies.
3031#
3032# NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase

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#
3088# ==== The ufs store type ====
3089#
3090# "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
3091# been there.
3092#
3093# Usage:
3094# cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
3095#
3096# 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
3097# directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
3098# configuration. Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
3099# Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
3100# subtract 20% and use that value.
3101#
3102# 'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
3103# will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
3104#
3105# 'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
3106# will be created under each first-level directory. The default
3107# is 256.
3108#
3109#
3110# ==== The aufs store type ====
3111#
3112# "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
3113# POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3114# disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
3115#
3116# Usage:
3117# cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
3118#
3119# see argument descriptions under ufs above
3120#
3121#
3122# ==== The diskd store type ====
3123#
3124# "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
3125# separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
3126# disk-I/O.
3127#
3128# Usage:
3129# cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
3130#
3131# see argument descriptions under ufs above
3132#
3133# Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
3134# stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
3135# Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
3136#
3137# Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
3138# starts blocking. If this many messages are in the queues,
3139# Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
3140#
3141# When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
3142# for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
3143# ratio. If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
3144# higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
3145# time.
3146#
3147#
3148# ==== The rock store type ====
3149#
3150# Usage:
3151# cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes <max-size=bytes> [options]
3152#
3153# The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached
3154# entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots,
3155# one entry per slot. The database size is specified in MB. The
3156# slot size is specified in bytes using the max-size option. See
3157# below for more info on the max-size option.
3158#
3159# If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
3160# process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
3161# I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir. Diskers
3162# are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
3163# for the IpcIo disk I/O module.
3164#
3165# swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
3166# reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
3167# will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
3168# default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
3169# enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
3170# blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
3171# expected swap wait time.
3172#
3173# max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
3174# the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
3175# would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
3176# delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
3177# not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
3178# since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
3179# requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
3180# This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
3181# many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
3182# while committing those writes to disk. Usually used together
3183# with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
3184# when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
3185# and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
3186# enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.
3187#
3188#
3189# ==== The coss store type ====
3190#
3191# NP: COSS filesystem in Squid-3 has been deemed too unstable for
3192# production use and has thus been removed from this release.
3193# We hope that it can be made usable again soon.
3194#
3195# block-size=n defines the "block size" for COSS cache_dir's.
3196# Squid uses file numbers as block numbers. Since file numbers

3212# min-size=n the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir
3213# will accept. It's used to restrict a cache_dir
3214# to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while

3216# (e.g. COSS).
3217# Defaults to 0.
3218#
3219# max-size=n the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir
3220# supports.
3221# The value in maximum_object_size directive sets
3222# the default unless more specific details are
3223# available (ie a small store capacity).
3224#
3225# Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
3226# the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first.
3227#
3228# Note for coss, max-size must be less than COSS_MEMBUF_SZ,

3239# TAG: store_dir_select_algorithm
3240# How Squid selects which cache_dir to use when the response
3241# object will fit into more than one.
3242#
3243# Regardless of which algorithm is used the cache_dir min-size
3244# and max-size parameters are obeyed. As such they can affect
3245# the selection algorithm by limiting the set of considered
3246# cache_dir.
3247#
3248# Algorithms:
3249#
3250# least-load
3251#
3252# This algorithm is suited to caches with similar cache_dir
3253# sizes and disk speeds.
3254#
3255# The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
3256# When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
3257# the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
3258#
3259# When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
3260# have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
3261# capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
3262# may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
3263#
3264#
3265# round-robin
3266#
3267# This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
3268# disk sizes.
3269#
3270# Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
3271# cache_dir is used.
3272#
3273# Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
3274# to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
3275# max-size parameters.
3276#
3277# Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
3278# disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
3279# I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.

3331# logformat <name> <format specification>
3332#
3333# Defines an access log format.

3335# The <format specification> is a string with embedded % format codes
3336#
3337# % format codes all follow the same basic structure where all but
3338# the formatcode is optional. Output strings are automatically escaped

3356#
3357# {arg} argument such as header name etc
3358#
3359# Format codes:
3360#
3361# % a literal % character
3362# sn Unique sequence number per log line entry
3363# err_code The ID of an error response served by Squid or

3365# err_detail Additional err_code-dependent error information.
3366# note The annotation specified by the argument. Also
3367# logs the adaptation meta headers set by the

3477# Squid handling related format codes:
3478#
3479# Ss Squid request status (TCP_MISS etc)
3480# Sh Squid hierarchy status (DEFAULT_PARENT etc)
3481#
3482# SSL-related format codes:
3483#
3484# ssl::bump_mode SslBump decision for the transaction:
3485#
3486# For CONNECT requests that initiated bumping of
3487# a connection and for any request received on
3488# an already bumped connection, Squid logs the
3489# corresponding SslBump mode ("server-first" or
3490# "client-first"). See the ssl_bump option for
3491# more information about these modes.
3492#
3493# A "none" token is logged for requests that
3494# triggered "ssl_bump" ACL evaluation matching
3495# either a "none" rule or no rules at all.
3496#
3497# In all other cases, a single dash ("-") is
3498# logged.
3499#
3500# If ICAP is enabled, the following code becomes available (as
3501# well as ICAP log codes documented with the icap_log option):
3502#
3503# icap::tt Total ICAP processing time for the HTTP
3504# transaction. The timer ticks when ICAP
3505# ACLs are checked and when ICAP
3506# transaction is in progress.
3507#
3508# If adaptation is enabled the following three codes become available:
3509#
3510# adapt::<last_h The header of the last ICAP response or
3511# meta-information from the last eCAP
3512# transaction related to the HTTP transaction.
3513# Like <h, accepts an optional header name
3514# argument.
3515#
3516# adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
3517# times recorded as a comma-separated list in
3518# the order of transaction start time. Each time
3519# value is recorded as an integer number,
3520# representing response time of one or more
3521# adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
3522# milliseconds. When a failed transaction is
3523# being retried or repeated, its time is not
3524# logged individually but added to the
3525# replacement (next) transaction. See also:
3526# adapt::all_trs.
3527#
3528# adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
3529# Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
3530# individual transactions are never added
3531# together. Instead, all transaction response
3532# times are recorded individually.
3533#
3534# You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
3535# service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
3536# to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs
3537#
3538# If SSL is enabled, the following formating codes become available:
3539#
3540# %ssl::>cert_subject The Subject field of the received client
3541# SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
3542# received an invalid/malformed certificate or
3543# no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
3544# logged value because Subject often has spaces.
3545#
3546# %ssl::>cert_issuer The Issuer field of the received client
3547# SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
3548# received an invalid/malformed certificate or
3549# no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
3550# logged value because Issuer often has spaces.
3551#

3571# Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions.
3572# If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every

3574#
3575# access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
3576# access_log none [acl acl ...]
3577#
3578# The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated:
3579# access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
3580#
3581# In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character

3590# ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
3591#
3592# logformat=name Names log line format (either built-in or
3593# defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
3594# to 'squid'.
3595#
3596# buffer-size=64KB Defines approximate buffering limit for log
3597# records (see buffered_logs). Squid should not
3598# keep more than the specified size and, hence,
3599# should flush records before the buffer becomes
3600# full to avoid overflows under normal
3601# conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
3602# module-dependent though). The on-error option
3603# controls overflow handling.
3604#
3605# on-error=die|drop Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
3606# 'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
3607# affected log records. The default 'die' action
3608# kills the affected worker. The drop action

3623# Place: varies depending on the daemon.
3624#
3625# log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written.
3626#
3627# syslog To log each request via syslog facility.
3628# Place: The syslog facility and priority level for these entries.
3629# Place Format: facility.priority
3630#
3631# where facility could be any of:

3633#
3634# And priority could be any of:
3635# err, warning, notice, info, debug.
3636#
3637# udp To send each log line as text data to a UDP receiver.
3638# Place: The destination host name or IP and port.

3657# icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
3658#
3659# Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
3660# kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
3661# features.
3662#
3663# ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
3664# require multiple ICAP transactions. In such cases, multiple
3665# ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
3666# log line.
3667#
3668# ICAP log uses logformat codes that make sense for an ICAP
3669# transaction. Header-related codes are applied to the HTTP header
3670# embedded in an ICAP server response, with the following caveats:
3671# For REQMOD, there is no HTTP response header unless the ICAP
3672# server performed request satisfaction. For RESPMOD, the HTTP
3673# request header is the header sent to the ICAP server. For
3674# OPTIONS, there are no HTTP headers.
3675#
3676# The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
3677#
3678# icap::<A ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
3679#
3680# icap::<service_name ICAP service name from the icap_service
3681# option in Squid configuration file.
3682#
3683# icap::ru ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
3684#
3685# icap::rm ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
3686# OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
3687#
3688# icap::>st Bytes sent to the ICAP server (TCP payload
3689# only; i.e., what Squid writes to the socket).
3690#
3691# icap::<st Bytes received from the ICAP server (TCP
3692# payload only; i.e., what Squid reads from
3693# the socket).
3694#
3695# icap::<bs Number of message body bytes received from the
3696# ICAP server. ICAP message body, if any, usually
3697# includes encapsulated HTTP message headers and
3698# possibly encapsulated HTTP message body. The
3699# HTTP body part is dechunked before its size is
3700# computed.
3701#
3702# icap::tr Transaction response time (in
3703# milliseconds). The timer starts when
3704# the ICAP transaction is created and
3705# stops when the transaction is completed.
3706# Similar to tr.
3707#
3708# icap::tio Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The

4750# Pack 1 has an issue with transparent proxies, wherein it
4751# is impossible to force a refresh. Turning this on provides
4752# a partial fix to the problem, by causing all IMS-REFRESH
4753# requests from older IE versions to check the origin server
4754# for fresh content. This reduces hit ratio by some amount
4755# (~10% in my experience), but allows users to actually get
4756# fresh content when they want it. Note because Squid
4757# cannot tell if the user is using 5.5 or 5.5SP1, the behavior
4758# of 5.5 is unchanged from old versions of Squid (i.e. a
4759# forced refresh is impossible). Newer versions of IE will,
4760# hopefully, continue to have the new behavior and will be
4761# handled based on that assumption. This option defaults to
4762# the old Squid behavior, which is better for hit ratios but
4763# worse for clients using IE, if they need to be able to
4764# force fresh content.

4800# This option replaces the old 'anonymize_headers' and the
4801# older 'http_anonymizer' option with something that is much
4802# more configurable. A list of ACLs for each header name allows
4803# removal of specific header fields under specific conditions.
4804#
4805# This option only applies to outgoing HTTP request headers (i.e.,
4806# headers sent by Squid to the next HTTP hop such as a cache peer
4807# or an origin server). The option has no effect during cache hit
4808# detection. The equivalent adaptation vectoring point in ICAP
4809# terminology is post-cache REQMOD.
4810#
4811# The option is applied to individual outgoing request header
4812# fields. For each request header field F, Squid uses the first
4813# qualifying sets of request_header_access rules:
4814#
4815# 1. Rules with header_name equal to F's name.
4816# 2. Rules with header_name 'Other', provided F's name is not
4817# on the hard-coded list of commonly used HTTP header names.
4818# 3. Rules with header_name 'All'.
4819#
4820# Within that qualifying rule set, rule ACLs are checked as usual.
4821# If ACLs of an "allow" rule match, the header field is allowed to
4822# go through as is. If ACLs of a "deny" rule match, the header is
4823# removed and request_header_replace is then checked to identify
4824# if the removed header has a replacement. If no rules within the
4825# set have matching ACLs, the header field is left as is.

5288# This represents the number of delay pools to be used. For example,
5289# if you have one class 2 delay pool and one class 3 delays pool, you
5290# have a total of 2 delay pools.

5296
5297# TAG: delay_class
5298# This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one
5299# delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two
5300# delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above
5301# and here would be:
5302#
5303# Example:
5304# delay_pools 4 # 4 delay pools
5305# delay_class 1 2 # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
5306# delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
5307# delay_class 3 4 # pool 3 is a class 4 pool
5308# delay_class 4 5 # pool 4 is a class 5 pool
5309#
5310# The delay pool classes are:
5311#
5312# class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5313# bucket.
5314#
5315# class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5316# bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
5317# from bits 25 through 32 of the IPv4 address.
5318#
5319# class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
5320# bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
5321# from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
5322# "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
5323# 32 of the IPv4 address.
5324#
5325# class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
5326# additional limit on a per user basis. This
5327# only takes effect if the username is established
5328# in advance - by forcing authentication in your
5329# http_access rules.
5330#
5331# class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see
5332# external_acl's tag= reply).
5333#
5334#
5335# Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
5336# and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
5337# a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
5338#
5339# NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
5340# -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
5341# -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
5342# -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"
5343#
5344# NOTE-2: Due to the use of bitmasks in class 2,3,4 pools they only apply to

5359# request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
5360# the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
5361#

5380#
5381# For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
5382# delay_pools pool 1
5383# delay_parameters pool aggregate
5384#
5385# For a class 2 delay pool:
5386# delay_pools pool 2

5389# For a class 3 delay pool:
5390# delay_pools pool 3

5392#
5393# For a class 4 delay pool:
5394# delay_pools pool 4

5396#
5397# For a class 5 delay pool:
5398# delay_pools pool 5

5400#
5401# The option variables are:
5402#
5403# pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
5404# number specified in delay_pools as used in
5405# delay_class lines.
5406#
5407# aggregate the speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket
5408# (class 1, 2, 3).
5409#

5422# A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
5423# the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
5424# quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
5425# maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
5426#
5427# There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
5428#
5429#

5431# above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64Kbit/sec
5432# (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:

5437#
5438# Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
5439#
5440#

5442# example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
5443# with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
5444# individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
5445# to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
5446# (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
5447# large downloads more significantly:
5448#
5449# delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000
5450#
5451# Note that 8 x 32000 KByte/sec -> 256Kbit/sec.
5452# 8 x 8000 KByte/sec -> 64Kbit/sec.
5453# 8 x 600 Byte/sec -> 4800bit/sec.
5454#
5455#
5456# Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will

6331# This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the

6334# empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating
6335# non-conditional GETs.
6336#
6337# When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers
6338# to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable
6339# payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created.
6340#
6341# When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will
6342# remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from

6349# Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
6350#
6351# Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
6352# ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
6353# any peers. For example, to always directly forward requests for
6354# local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have use
6355# something like:
6356#
6357# acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
6358# always_direct allow local-servers
6359#
6360# To always forward FTP requests directly, use
6361#
6362# acl FTP proto FTP
6363# always_direct allow FTP
6364#
6365# NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
6366# 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
6367# foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
6368# may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
6369# some other rule. Example:
6370#
6371# acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
6372# acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6373# always_direct deny local-external
6374# always_direct allow local-servers
6375#
6376# NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
6377# directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
6378# to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
6379# can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
6380#
6381# NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
6382# is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
6383# the replies see the 'cache' directive.

6395#
6396# With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify

6400#
6401# acl local-servers dstdomain .foo.net
6402# never_direct deny local-servers

6854# useful when hot standby or backup adaptation servers are available.
6855#
6856# adaptation_service_set set_name service_name1 service_name2 ...
6857#
6858# The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first
6859# applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next
6860# applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the
6861# previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
6862# intact.
6863#
6864# When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
6865# not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service.
6866#
6867# The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
6868# (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6869#
6870# If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
6871# bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
6872# transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
6873# another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
6874# transaction fails as well.
6875#
6876# A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
6877# is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
6878# ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
6879# Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that
6880# matters.

6910# The services in a chain must be attached to the same vectoring point
6911# (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
6912#
6913# A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
6914# essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for
6915# other reasons), the master transaction fails. Otherwise, the failure
6916# is bypassed as if the failed adaptation service was not in the chain.

6980#
6981# This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept

6987#
6988# An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
6989# shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API
6990# to provide an option with a name specified in

7007# Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
7008# transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.

7013# Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
7014# Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
7015# lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For

7031# "this string has one backslash (\\) and two \"quotes\""
7032#
7033# Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note
