Now takes a list of options in addition to the port address, specifying the purpose of this http_port. Default is plain Internet proxy as usual. Also there is no longer a default port and you must include a http_port directive in your squid.conf if you want Squid to listen for http requests.
-Now implemented by the "transparent" http_port option
-Now implemented by other options and the http_port accel option. See individual directives below.
-Replaced by defaultsite http_port option and cache_peer originserver option.
-No longer needed. Server port defined by the cache_peer port.
-Replaced by vhost http_port option
-Many new options. Reconstructs URLs as https:// by default.
-Many new options to support origin servers and SSL encryption
-New directive for hardware assisted SSL encryption
-New directives defining how to gateway http->https
-New helper directive to query an external program for SSL key encryption password (if any)
-Renamed to cache to better reflect the functionaliy. no_cache still accepted.
-New name for the old no_cache directive.
-New directive to disable caching of Vary:ing responses
-New directive to work around known broken compression modules which hasn't understood the meaning of the ETag HTTP header in relation to Accept-Encoding.
-New directive for defining custom log formats
-Renamed to access_log
-Select what requests to log where any by what format. Support for multiple log files and multiple log formats.
-New option to disable the hostname validity/sanity checks usually performed by Squid, replacing the similar build time configure option in 2.5.
-New option to allow _ in hostnames, replacing the similar build time configure option in 2.5 and earlier.
-Allow for domain searches. Now possible even when using the internal DNS client
-Renamed to url_rewrite_* to better reflect the functionality of this helper (rewriting requested URLs)
-Activates a new and more efficient helper protocol. Requires changes in the helper.
-New helper hook for rewriting Location headers
-New option to allow the use of blank passwords.
-New option enabling a multiplexed helper protocol allowing the same helper to process multiple concurrent requests in an efficient manner. Requires support from the helper. (2.6.STABLE2 and later)
-No longer supported
-Directive no longer supported. Use of NTLM negotiate packet is always on.
-New option to fine-tune the use of HTTP keep-alive in combination with NTLM
-New Negotiate authentication scheme, the "next generation" scheme in the family of Microsoft authentication.
-Many new format options %SRCPORT, %MYADDR, %MYPORT, %PATH, %USER_CERT, %ACL, %DATA and a few variants. Helper protocol defaults to the simpler "3.0" protocol, and there is support for a highly efficient protocol via the concurrency= option if supported by the helper.
-Several new HTTP override/ignore options
-New directive to set the response buffer size.
-New directive to enable an alternative optimized forwarding path when there is very many concurrent requests for the same URL.
-New directive similar to collapsed_forwarding and activates an alternative optimized request processing when there is very many concurrent requests for the same recently expired URL.
-New acl class
-New acl class matching the user SSL certificate (https_port)
-New acl class matching the CA of the user SSL certificate (https_port)
-New acl matching usernames returned by external acl
-New option to enable parsing of X-Forwarded-For headers allowing access controls to be based on the real client IP even if behind secondary proxies
-New http_access type directive but evaluated after url rewrites
-Access control on HTCP requests
-New directive to limit what gets logged.
-Enable hiding of the Squid version
-New directive to specify the minimum umask Squid should run under
-New directive to allow dynamic rewrites of error pages
-New directive to disable the use of the Via directive
-WCCP2 protocol support
-tune the magic 60 seconds limit of what is considered cachable when the object doesn't have any cache validators. (2.6.STABLE2)
-make Squid delay registering with a WCCP router until store rebuild have finished. Default on. (2.6.STABLE2)
-Cache server load weigth in the cluster. (2.6.STABLE4)
-Control if Squid should check the sanity of host names before trying to look them up in DNS
-Control if _ is to be considered a valid character in hostnames or not
-Option removed. CARP now uses the weight parameter instead.
-Controls how Squid forwards login information to peer caches and servers.
-There is a few known issues in this version of Squid which we hope to correct in a later release

In addition there is a set of limitations in this version of Squid which we hope to correct later

Ipfilter 4.x compile problem on HP Tru64 -
- checking if IP-Filter header files are installed... no - WARNING: Cannot find necessary IP-Filter header files - Transparent Proxy support WILL NOT be enabled -- -To fix the problem first check if the ip_fil.h, ip_compat.h, ip_nat.h and ipl.h files are present in -/usr/include/netinet and copy them from ipfilter source tree if needed. -Don't forget to fix files permission and ownership after the copy.
- env ac_cv_header_netinet_ip_compat_h=yes ./configure --enable-ipf-transparent --
This Squid version can run on Windows as a system service using the Cygwin emulation environment,
-or can be compiled in Windows native mode using the MinGW + MSYS development environment. Windows NT 4 SP4 and later are supported.
-On Windows 2000 and later the service is configured to use the Windows Service Recovery option
-restarting automatically after 60 seconds.
-
Some new command line options was added for the Windows service support:
The service installation is made with -i command line switch, it's possible to use -f switch at -the same time for specify a different config-file settings for the Squid Service that will be -stored on the Windows Registry.
-A new -n switch specify the Windows Service Name, so multiple Squid instance are allowed. -"Squid" is the default when the switch is not used.
-So, to install the service, the syntax is:
--
-squid -i [-f file] [-n name] -- -
Service uninstallation is made with -r command line switch with the appropriate -n switch.
-The -k switch family must be used with the appropriate -f and -n switches, so the syntax is:
--
-squid -k command [-f file] -n service-name -- -where service-name is the name specified with -n options at service install time. -
To use the Squid original command line, the new -O switch must be used ONCE, the syntax is:
--
-squid -O cmdline [-n service-name] -- -If multiple service command line options must be specified, use quote. The -n switch is -needed only when a non default service name is in use. -
Don't use the "Start parameters" in the Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service applet: they are -specific to Windows services functionality and Squid is not designed for understand they.
-In the following example the command line of the "squidsvc" Squid service is set to "-D -u 3130":
--
-squid -O "-D -u 3130" -n squidsvc -- -
-
The process status helper functions make it easier for you to obtain information about -processes and device drivers running on Microsoft® Windows NT®/Windows® 2000. These -functions are available in PSAPI.DLL, which is distributed in the Microsoft® Platform -Software Development Kit (SDK). The same information is generally available through the -performance data in the registry, but it is more difficult to get to it. PSAPI.DLL is -freely redistributable.
-PSAPI.DLL is available only on Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003. The implementation in Squid is -aware of this, and try to use it only on the right platform.
-On Windows NT PSAPI.DLL can be found as component of many applications, if you need it, -you can find it on Windows NT Resource KIT. If you have problem, it can be -downloaded from here: -http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/Redist/4.0.1371.1/NT4/EN-US/psinst.EXE
-On Windows 2000 and later it is available installing the Windows Support Tools, located on the -Support\Tools folder of the installation Windows CD-ROM.
--
On Windows platforms, if no value is specified in the dns_nameservers option on -squid.conf or in the /etc/resolv.conf file, the list of DNS name servers are -taken from the Windows registry, both static and dynamic DHCP configurations -are supported.
--
-
-acl blocklist url_regex -i "c:/squid/etc/blocked1.txt" -- -
-redirect_program c:/perl/bin/perl.exe c:/squid/libexec/redir.pl -redirect_program c:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /C c:/squid/libexec/redir.cmd --
-

-
A reasonably recent release of
-Cygwin or
-MinGW is needed.
-The usage of the Cygwin environment is very similar to other Unix/Linux environments, and -devel version of libraries must be installed.
-For the MinGW environment, the packages MSYS, MinGW and msysDTK must be installed. Some additional libraries and tools must be downloaded separately:
-OpenSSL:
-Shining Light Productions Win32 OpenSSL
-libcrypt:
-MinGW packages repository
-db-1.85:
-TinyCOBOL download area
-uudecode:
-Native Win32 ports of some GNU utilities
-When running configure, --disable-wccp and --disable-wccpv2 options should always specified to avoid compile errors.
-
-
On Windows, cache manager (cachemgr.cgi) can be used with Microsoft IIS or Apache.
-Some specific configuration could be needed:
-
-ScriptAlias /squid/cgi-bin/ "c:/squid/libexec/" -<Location /squid/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi> - PassEnv TMP TEMP - Order allow,deny - Allow from workstation.example.com -</Location> --
