Re: -> Re: [SQU] Re: Zero Sized Reply

The Squid is running on a PII 400MHz , 256MB Ram, 4GB Hard Drive, RedHat 6.0 Linux version 2.2.5-15.

Have you tried using the squid client? (bin/client). It can do http tracing.
    No but I will look into it. How do you submit a log-in page for tracing?

What is your configuration?
    squid.conf is listed below

Are you using upstream peers or direct connections?
    Directions connections no peering.

Did you use lynx or netscape/mozilla when you tested from the squid box?
    The local test was done using lynx

Was that program configured to use http/1.0 and not http/1.1?
    Not sure what lynx is configured to use.

Are your users using the IE setting 'use HTTP/1.1 thru proxy connections'?
    This happens independent of the user's browser selection MSIE or Netscape. If the squid is bypassed the page displays properly.

What does your access log show for the site?
    The log has not given much hints so far. I can try to capture another listing if it would help.

Do you have a firewall?
    Yes the squid accesses the internet through a NAT'ing firewall.

Does the error happen every time?
    I happen everytime with the Deja link and only for certain users on the Hotmail, IBM, MS links.

Thank you for any pointers or suggestions you have.

# WELCOME TO SQUID 2
# ------------------
#
# This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish
# to look at http://cache.is.co.za/squid/ for documentation,
# or the Squid home page (http://squid.nlanr.net/) for the FAQ.
#
# The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for
# various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the
# default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause
# run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default
# setting at all, whilst in other cases it refers to a valid
# option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the
# case.
#

# NETWORK OPTIONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: http_port
# The port number where Squid will listen for HTTP client
# requests. Default is 3128, for httpd-accel mode use port 80.
# May be overridden with -a on the command line.
#
# You may specify multiple ports here, but they MUST all be on
# a single line.
#
http_port 8080

# TAG: icp_port
# The port number where Squid sends and receives ICP requests to
# and from neighbor caches. Default is 3130. To disable use
# "0". May be overridden with -u on the command line.
#
# added 11082000
#icp_port 3130

# TAG: htcp_port
# The port number where Squid sends and receives ICP requests to
# and from neighbor caches. Default is 4827. To disable use
# "0".
#
# To enable this option, you must use --enable-htcp with the
# configure script.
#htcp_port 4827

# TAG: mcast_groups
# This tag specifies a list of multicast groups which your server
# should join to receive multicasted ICP requests.
#
# NOTE! Be very careful what you put here! Be sure you
# understand the difference between an ICP _query_ and an ICP
# _reply_. This option is to be set only if you want to RECEIVE
# multicast queries. Do NOT set this option to SEND multicast
# ICP (use cache_peer for that). ICP replies are always sent via
# unicast, so this option does not affect whether or not you will
# receive replies from multicast group members.
#
# You must be very careful to NOT use a multicast address which
# is already in use by another group of caches. NLANR has been
# assigned a block of multicast address space for use in Web
# Caching. Plese write to us at nlanr-cache@nlanr.net to receive
# an address for your own use.
#
# If you are unsure about multicast, please read the Multicast
# chapter in the Squid FAQ (http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/FAQ/).
#
# Usage: mcast_groups 239.128.16.128 224.0.1.20
#
# By default, Squid doesn't listen on any multicast groups.
#
#mcast_groups 239.128.16.128

# TAG: tcp_incoming_address
# TAG: tcp_outgoing_address
# TAG: udp_incoming_address
# TAG: udp_outgoing_address
# Usage: tcp_incoming_address 10.20.30.40
# udp_outgoing_address fully.qualified.domain.name
#
# tcp_incoming_address is used for the HTTP socket which accepts
# connections from clients and other caches.
# tcp_outgoing_address is used for connections made to remote
# servers and other caches.
# udp_incoming_address is used for the ICP socket receiving packets
# from other caches.
# udp_outgoing_address is used for ICP packets sent out to other
# caches.
#
# The default behaviour is to not bind to any specific address.
#
# NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not
# have the same value (unless it is 0.0.0.0) since they both use
# port 3130.
#
#tcp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0

# OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE NEIGHBOR SELECTION ALGORITHM
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: cache_peer
# To specify other caches in a hierarchy, use the format:
#
# hostname type http_port icp_port
#
# For example,
#
# # proxy icp
# # hostname type port port options
# # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- -----------
# cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 [proxy-only]
# cache_peer sib1.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 [proxy-only]
# cache_peer sib2.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 [proxy-only]
#
# type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'.
#
# proxy_port: The port number where the cache listens for proxy
# requests.
#
# icp_port: Used for querying neighbor caches about
# objects. To have a non-ICP neighbor
# specify '7' for the ICP port and make sure the
# neighbor machine has the UDP echo port
# enabled in its /etc/inetd.conf file.
#
# options: proxy-only
# weight=n
# ttl=n
# no-query
# default
# round-robin
# multicast-responder
# closest-only
# no-digest
# no-netdb-exchange
# no-delay
# login=user:password
#
# use 'proxy-only' to specify that objects fetched
# from this cache should not be saved locally.
#
# use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent.
# The weight must be an integer. The default weight
# is 1, larger weights are favored more.
#
# use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use
# when sending an ICP request 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 below.
#
# use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this
# neighbor.
#
# use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can
# be used as a "last-resort." You should probably
# only use 'default' in situations where you cannot
# use ICP with your parent cache(s).
#
# use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which
# should be used in a round-robin fashion in the
# absence of any ICP queries.
#
# 'multicast-responder' indicates that the named peer
# is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will
# not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies
# will be accepted from it.
#
# 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS
# replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes
# and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes.
#
# use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from
# this neighbor.
#
# 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP
# RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor.
#
# use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor
# from influencing the delay pools.
#
# use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup
# proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication.
#
# NOTE: non-ICP neighbors must be specified as 'parent'.
#
#cache_peer hostname type 3128 3130
#cache_peer proxy02.DOMAIN.com sibling 8080 3130 proxy-only

# TAG: cache_peer_domain
# Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be
# queried. Usage:
#
# cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...]
# cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain
#
# For example, specifying
#
# cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu
#
# has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to
# 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a
# server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname
# with '!' means that the cache will be queried for objects
# NOT in that domain.
#
# NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,
# either on the same or separate lines.
# * When multiple domains are given for a particular
# cache-host, the first matched domain is applied.
# * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried
# for all requests.
# * There are no defaults.
# * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL
# section.

# TAG: neighbor_type_domain
# usage: neighbor_type_domain parent|sibling domain domain ...
#
# Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now
# possible. You can treat some domains differently than the the
# default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line.
# Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which
# should be treated differently because the default neighbor type
# applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here.
#
#EXAMPLE:
# cache_peer parent cache.foo.org 3128 3130
# neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .com .net
# neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .au .de

# TAG: icp_query_timeout (msec)
# Normally Squid will automatically determine an optimal ICP
# query timeout value based on the round-trip-time of recent ICP
# queries. If you want to override the value determined by
# Squid, set this 'icp_query_timeout' to a non-zero value. This
# value is specified in MILLISECONDS, so, to use a 2-second
# timeout (the old default), you would write:
#
# icp_query_timeout 2000
#
#icp_query_timeout 0

# TAG: mcast_icp_query_timeout (msec)
# For Multicast peers, Squid regularly sends out ICP "probes" to
# count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast
# address. This value specifies how long Squid should wait to
# count all the replies. The default is 2000 msec, or 2
# seconds.
#
#mcast_icp_query_timeout 2000

# 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.
#
#dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds

# TAG: hierarchy_stoplist
# A list of words which, if found in a URL, cause the object to
# be handled directly by this cache. In other words, use this
# to not query neighbor caches for certain objects. You may
# list this option multiple times.
#
# The default is to directly fetch URLs containing 'cgi-bin' or '?'.
#
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?

# TAG: no_cache
# A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause the reply to
# immediately removed from the cache. In other words, use this
# to force certain objects to never be cached.
#
# You must use the word 'DENY' to indicate the ACL names which should
# NOT be cached.
#
# There is no default. We recommend you uncomment the following
# two lines.
#
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
no_cache deny QUERY

acl DOMAINEQS dstdomain DOMAIN-abl-eqs.com
no_cache deny DOMAINEQS

# OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE CACHE SIZE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: cache_mem (bytes)
# NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS
# SIZE. IT PLACES A LIMIT ON ONE ASPECT OF SQUID'S MEMORY
# USAGE. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
# YOUR PROCESS WILL PROBABLY BECOME TWICE OR THREE TIMES
# BIGGER THAN THE VALUE YOU PUT HERE
#
# '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. When
# additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached
# and hot objects will be released. In other words, the
# negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space
# not needed for in-transit objects.
#
# If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded.
# Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than
# 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will
# exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load
# decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is
# reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot
# objects.
#
# The values of cache_mem_low and cache_mem_high (below) can be
# used to tune the use of the memory pool. When the high mark is
# reached, in-transit and hot objects will be released to clear
# space. When an object transfer is completed, it will remain in
# memory only if the current memory usage is below the low water
# mark.
#
# The default is 8 Megabytes.
#
cache_mem 8 MB

# TAG: cache_swap_low (percent, 0-100)
# TAG: cache_swap_high (percent, 0-100)
# The low- and high-water marks for cache LRU replacement. LRU
# replacement begins when the high-water mark is reached and ends
# when enough objects have been removed and the low-water mark is
# reached. Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5%
# could be hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to
# set these numbers closer together.
#
#cache_swap_low 90
#cache_swap_high 95

# TAG: maximum_object_size (bytes)
# Objects larger than this size will NOT be saved on disk. The
# value is specified in kilobytes, and the default is 4MB. If
# you wish to get a high BYTES hit ratio, you should probably
# increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10KB
# hits). If you wish to increase speed more than your want to
# save bandwidth you should leave this low.
#
#maximum_object_size 4096 KB

# TAG: ipcache_size (number of entries)
# TAG: ipcache_low (percent)
# TAG: ipcache_high (percent)
# The size, low-, and high-water marks for the IP cache.
#
ipcache_size 1024
ipcache_low 90
ipcache_high 95

# TAG: fqdncache_size (number of entries)
# Maximum number of FQDN cache entries.

# LOGFILE PATHNAMES AND CACHE DIRECTORIES
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: cache_dir
# Usage:
#
# cache_dir Directory-Name Mbytes Level-1 Level2
#
# You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
# cache among different disk partitions.
#
# 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
# files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk
# for caching, then this can be the mount-point directory.
# The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid
# process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you.
#
# If no 'cache_dir' lines are specified, the following
# default will be used: /usr/local/squid/cache.
#
# 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
# directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your
# configuration.
#
# 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
# will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16.
#
# 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
# will be created under each first-level directory. The default
# is 256.
#
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 100 16 256

# TAG: cache_access_log
# Logs the client request activity. Contains an entry for
# every HTTP and ICP request received.
#
cache_access_log /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log

# TAG: cache_log
# Cache logging file. This is where general information about
# your cache's behaviour goes. You can increase the amount of data
# logged to this file with the "debug_options" tag below.
#
cache_log /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log

# TAG: cache_store_log
# Logs the activities of the storage manager. Shows which
# objects are ejected from the cache, and which objects are
# saved and for how long. To disable, enter "none". There are
# not really utilities to analyse this data, so you can safely
# disable it.
#
cache_store_log /usr/local/squid/logs/store.log

# TAG: cache_swap_log
# Location for the cache "swap.log." This log file holds the
# metadata of objects saved on disk. It is used to rebuild the
# cache during startup. Normally this file resides in the first
# 'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate
# pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just
# a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object
# list you CANNOT periodically rotate it!
#
# If you have more than one 'cache_dir', these swap logs will
# have names such as:
#
# cache_swap_log.00
# cache_swap_log.01
# cache_swap_log.02
#
# The numbered extension (which is added automatically)
# corresponds to the order of the 'cache_dir' lines in this
# configuration file. If you change the order of the 'cache_dir'
# lines in this file, then these log files will NOT correspond to
# the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename
# them). We recommend that you do NOT use this option. It is
# better to keep these log files in each 'cache_dir' directory.
#
#cache_swap_log

# TAG: emulate_httpd_log on|off
# The Cache can emulate the log file format which many 'httpd'
# programs use. To disable/enable this emulation, set
# emulate_httpd_log to 'off' or 'on'. The default
# is to use the native log format since it includes useful
# information that Squid-specific log analysers use.
#
emulate_httpd_log on

# TAG: mime_table
# Pathname to Squid's MIME table. You shouldn't need to change
# this, but the default file contains examples and formatting
# information if you do.
#
mime_table /usr/local/squid/etc/mime.conf

# TAG: log_mime_hdrs on|off
# The Cache can record both the request and the response MIME
# headers for each HTTP transaction. The headers are encoded
# safely and will appear as two bracketed fields at the end of
# the access log (for either the native or httpd-emulated log
# formats). To enable this logging set log_mime_hdrs to 'on'.
#
log_mime_hdrs on

# TAG: useragent_log
# If configured with the "--enable-useragent_log" configure
# option, Squid will write the User-Agent field from HTTP
# requests to the filename specified here. By default
# useragent_log is disabled.
#
#useragent_log none

# TAG: pid_filename
# A filename to write the process-id to. To disable, enter "none".
#
pid_filename /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid

# TAG: debug_options
# Logging options are set as section,level where each source file
# is assigned a unique section. Lower levels result in less
# output, Full debugging (level 9) can result in a very large
# log file, so be careful. The magic word "ALL" sets debugging
# levels for all sections. We recommend normally running with
# "ALL,1".
#
debug_options ALL,2

# TAG: ident_lookup_access
# A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause an ident
# (RFC 931) lookup to be performed for this request. For
# example, you might choose to always perform ident lookups
# for your main multi-user Unix boxes, but not for your Macs
# and PCs. By default, ident lookups are not performed for
# any requests.
#
# To enable ident lookups for specific client addresses, you
# can follow this example:
#
# acl ident_aware_hosts src 198.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
# ident_lookup_access allow ident_aware_hosts
# ident_lookup_access deny all
#
# This option may be disabled by using --disable-ident with
# the configure script.
#ident_lookup_access deny all

# TAG: log_fqdn on|off
# Turn this on if you wish to log fully qualified domain names
# in the access.log. To do this Squid does a DNS lookup of all
# IP's connecting to it. This can (in some situations) increase
# latency, which makes your cache seem slower for interactive
# browsing.
#
#log_fqdn off

# TAG: client_netmask
# A netmask for client addresses in logfiles and cachemgr output.
# Change this to protect the privacy of your cache clients.
# A netmask of 255.255.255.0 will log all IP's in that range with
# the last digit set to '0'.
#
#client_netmask 255.255.255.255

# OPTIONS FOR EXTERNAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: ftp_user
# If you want the anonymous login password to be more informative
# (and enable the use of picky ftp servers), set this to something
# resonable for your domain, like wwwuser@somewhere.net
#
# The reason why this is domainless by default is that the
# request can be made on the behalf of a user in any domain,
# depending on how the cache is used.
# Some ftp server also validate that the email address is valid
# (for example perl.com).
#
ftp_user proxy@DOMAIN.com

# TAG: ftp_list_width
# Sets the width of ftp listings. This should be set to fit in
# the width of a standard browser. Setting this too small
# can cut off long filenames when browsing ftp sites.
#
ftp_list_width 132

# TAG: cache_dns_program
# Specify the location of the executable for dnslookup process.
#
# cache_dns_program /usr/local/squid/bin/dnsserver

# TAG: dns_children
# The number of processes spawn to service DNS name lookups.
# For heavily loaded caches on large servers, you should
# probably increase this value to at least 10. The maximum
# is 32. The default is 5.
#
# To disable dnsservers, set this to 0. NOTE, this is very
# strongly discouraged. If you disable dnsservers your Squid
# process will BLOCK on DNS lookups!
#
# dns_children 20

# TAG: dns_defnames on|off
# Normally the 'dnsserver' disables the RES_DEFNAMES resolver
# option (see res_init(3)). This prevents caches in a hierarchy
# from interpreting single-component hostnames locally. To allow
# dnsserver to handle single-component names, enable this
# option.
#
#dns_defnames off

# TAG: dns_nameservers
# Use this if you want to specify a list of DNS name servers
# (IP addresses) to use instead of those given in your
# /etc/resolv.conf file.
#
# Example: dns_nameservers 10.0.0.1 192.172.0.4
#
#dns_nameservers none

# TAG: unlinkd_program

#
#pinger_program /usr/local/squid/bin/pinger

# TAG: redirect_program
# Specify the location of the executable for the URL redirector.
# Since they can perform almost any function there isn't one included.
# See the Release-Notes for information on how to write one.
# By default, a redirector is not used.
#
#redirect_program none

# TAG: redirect_children
# The number of redirector processes to spawn. If you start
# too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of
# URLs, slowing it down. If you start too many they will use RAM
# and other system resources.
#
#redirect_children 5

# TAG: redirect_rewrites_host_header
# By default Squid rewrites any Host: header in redirected requests.
# If you are running a accelerator then this may not be a wanted effect
# of a redirector.
redirect_rewrites_host_header off

# TAG: authenticate_program
# Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a
# program reads a line containing "username password" and replies
# "OK" or "ERR" in an endless loop. If you use an authenticator,
# make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth. By default, the
# authenticator_program is not used.
#
# If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication,
# jump over to the ../auth_modules/NCSA directory and
# type:
# % make
# % make install
#
# Then, set this line to something like
#
# authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/passwd
#
#authenticate_program none

# TAG: authenticate_children
# The number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5). If you
# start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog
# of usercode/password verifications, slowing it down. When password
# verifications are done via a (slow) network you are likely to need
# lots of authenticator processes.
#
#authenticate_children 5

# TAG: authenticate_ttl
# The time a checked username/password combination remains cached

#
# FRESH if expires < now, else STALE
# STALE if age > max
# FRESH if lm-factor < percent, else STALE
# FRESH if age < min
# else STALE
#
# The refresh_pattern lines are checked in the order listed here.
# The first entry which matches is used. If none of the entries
# match, then the default will be used.
#
#Default:
#refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080
#refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440
#refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320

# TAG: reference_age
# As a part of normal operation, Squid performs Least Recently
# Used removal of cached objects. The LRU age for removal is
# computed dynamically, based on the amount of disk space in
# use. The dynamic value can be seen in the Cache Manager 'info'
# output.
#
# The 'reference_age' parameter defines the maximum LRU age. For
# example, setting reference_age to '1 week' will cause objects
# to be removed if they have not been accessed for a week or
# more. The default value is one month.
#
# Specify a number here, followed by units of time. For example:
# 1 week
# 3.5 days
# 4 months
# 2.2 hours
#
reference_age 1 week

# TAG: quick_abort_min (KB)
# TAG: quick_abort_max (KB)
# TAG: quick_abort_pct (percent)
# The cache can be configured to continue downloading aborted
# requests. This may be undesirable on slow (e.g. SLIP) links
# and/or very busy caches. Impatient users may tie up file
# descriptors and bandwidth by repeatedly requesting and
# immediately aborting downloads.
#
# When the user aborts a request, Squid will check the
# quick_abort values to the amount of data transfered until
# then.
#
# If the transfer has less than 'quick_abort_min' KB remaining,
# it will finish the retrieval. Setting 'quick_abort_min' to -1
# will disable the quick_abort feature.
#
# If the transfer has more than 'quick_abort_max' KB remaining,
# it will abort the retrieval.
#
# If more than 'quick_abort_pct' of the transfer has completed,
# it will finish the retrieval.
#
quick_abort_min 16 KB
quick_abort_max 16 KB
quick_abort_pct 95

# TAG: negative_ttl time-units
# Time-to-Live (TTL) for failed requests. Certain types of
# failures (such as "connection refused" and "404 Not Found") are
# negatively-cached for a configurable amount of time. The
# default is 5 minutes. Note that this is different from
# negative caching of DNS lookups.
#
#negative_ttl 5 minutes

# TAG: positive_dns_ttl time-units
# Time-to-Live (TTL) for positive caching of successful DNS lookups.
# Default is 6 hours (360 minutes). If you want to minimize the
# use of Squid's ipcache, set this to 1, not 0.
#
#positive_dns_ttl 6 hours

# TAG: negative_dns_ttl time-units
# Time-to-Live (TTL) for negative caching of failed DNS lookups.
#
#negative_dns_ttl 5 minutes

# TAG: range_offset_limit (bytes)
# Sets a upper limit on how far into the the file a Range request
# may be to cause Squid to prefetch the whole file. If beyond this
# limit then Squid forwards the Range request as it is and the result
# is NOT cached.
#
# This is to stop a far ahead range request (lets say start at 17MB)
# from making Squid fetch the whole object up to that point before
# sending anything to the client.
#
# A value of -1 causes Squid to always fetch the object from the
# beginning so that it may cache the result. (2.0 style)
#
# A value of 0 causes Squid to never fetch more than the client
# client requested. (default)
#
#range_offset_limit 0 KB

# TIMEOUTS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: connect_timeout time-units
# Some systems (notably Linux) can not be relied upon to properly
# time out connect(2) requests. Therefore the Squid process
# enforces its own timeout on server connections. This parameter
# specifies how long to wait for the connect to complete. The
# default is two minutes (120 seconds).
#
#connect_timeout 120 seconds

# TAG: siteselect_timeout time-units
# For URN to multiple URL's URL selection
#
#siteselect_timeout 4 seconds

# TAG: read_timeout time-units
# The read_timeout is applied on server-side connections. After
# each successful read(), the timeout will be extended by this
# amount. If no data is read again after this amount of time,
# the request is aborted and logged with ERR_READ_TIMEOUT. The
# default is 15 minutes.
#
#read_timeout 15 minutes

# TAG: request_timeout
# How long to wait for an HTTP request after connection
# establishment. For persistent connections, wait this long
# after the previous request completes.
#
#request_timeout 30 seconds

# TAG: client_lifetime time-units
# The maximum amount of time that a client (browser) is allowed to
# remain connected to the cache process. This protects the Cache
# from having alot of sockets (and hence file descriptors) tied up
# in a CLOSE_WAIT state from remote clients that go away without
# properly shutting down (either because of a network failure or
# because of a poor client implementation). The default is one
# day, 1440 minutes.
#
# NOTE: The default value is intended to be much larger than any
# client would ever need to be connected to your cache. You
# should probably change client_lifetime only as a last resort.
# If you seem to have many client connections tying up
# filedescriptors, we recommend first tuning the read_timeout,
# request_timeout, pconn_timeout and quick_abort values.
#
#client_lifetime 1 day

# TAG: half_closed_clients
# Some clients may shutdown the sending side of their TCP
# connections, while leaving their receiving sides open. Sometimes,
# Squid can not tell the difference between a half-closed and a
# fully-closed TCP connection. By default, half-closed client
# connections are kept open until a read(2) or write(2) on the
# socket returns an error. Change this option to 'off' and Squid
# will immediately close client connections when read(2) returns
# "no more data to read."
#
#half_closed_clients on

# TAG: pconn_timeout
# Timeout for idle persistent connections to servers and other
# proxies.
#pconn_timeout 120 seconds

# TAG: ident_timeout
# Maximum time to wait for IDENT requests. If this is too high,
# and you enabled 'ident_lookup', then you might be susceptible
# to denial-of-service by having many ident requests going at
# once.
#
# This option may be disabled by using --disable-ident with
# the configure script.
#ident_timeout 10 seconds

# TAG: shutdown_lifetime time-units
# When SIGTERM or SIGHUP is received, the cache is put into
# "shutdown pending" mode until all active sockets are closed.
# This value is the lifetime to set for all open descriptors
# during shutdown mode. Any active clients after this many
# seconds will receive a 'timeout' message.

#
# Access to the ICP port:
# icp_access allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
# NOTE on default values:
#
# If there are no "access" lines present, the default is to allow

#
# If none of the "access" lines cause a match, the default is the
# opposite of the last line in the list. If the last line was

# good idea to have an "deny all" or "allow all" entry at the end
# of your access lists to avoid potential confusion.
#
#Default configuration:
#http_access allow manager localhost
#http_access deny manager

# TAG: icp_access
# Reply to all ICP queries we receive
#

# TAG: miss_access
# Use to force your neighbors to use you as a sibling instead of
# a parent. For example:
#
# acl localclients src 172.16.0.0/16
# miss_access allow localclients
# miss_access deny !localclients
#
# This means that only your local clients are allowed to fetch
# MISSES and all other clients can only fetch HITS.
#
# By default, allow all clients who passed the http_access rules
# to fetch MISSES from us.

# OPTIONS FOR THE CACHE REGISTRATION SERVICE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# This section contains parameters for the (optional) cache
# announcement service. This service is provided to help
# cache administrators locate one another in order to join or
# create cache hierarchies.
#
# An 'announcement' message is sent (via UDP) to the registration
# service by Squid. By default, the annoucement message is NOT
# SENT unless you enable it with 'announce_period' below.
#
# The announcement message includes your hostname, plus the
# following information from this configuration file:
#
# http_port
# icp_port
# cache_mgr
#
# All current information is processed regularly and made
# available on the Web at http://ircache.nlanr.net/Cache/Tracker/.

# TAG: announce_period
# This is how frequently to send cache announcements. The
# default is `0' which disables sending the announcement
# messages.
#
# To enable announcing your cache, just uncomment the line
# below.
#
#announce_period 1 day

# TAG: announce_host
# TAG: announce_file
# TAG: announce_port
# announce_host and announce_port set the hostname and port
# number where the registration message will be sent.
#
# Hostname will default to 'tracker.ircache.net' and port will
# default default to 3131. If the 'filename' argument is given,
# the contents of that file will be included in the announce
# message.

# HTTPD-ACCELERATOR OPTIONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: httpd_accel_host
# TAG: httpd_accel_port
# If you want to run Squid as an httpd accelerator, define the
# host name and port number where the real HTTP server is.
#
# If you want virtual host support then specify the hostname
# as "virtual".
#
# NOTE: enabling httpd_accel_host disables proxy-caching and
# ICP. If you want these features enabled also, then set
# the 'httpd_accel_with_proxy' option.
#
#httpd_accel_host hostname
#httpd_accel_port port

# TAG: httpd_accel_with_proxy on|off
# If you want to use Squid as both a local httpd accelerator
# and as a proxy, change this to 'on'.
#
httpd_accel_with_proxy on

# TAG: httpd_accel_uses_host_header on|off
# HTTP/1.1 requests include a Host: header which is basically the
# hostname from the URL. Squid can be an accelerator for
# different HTTP servers by looking at this header. However,
# Squid does NOT check the value of the Host header, so it opens
# a big security hole. We recommend that this option remain
# disabled unless you are sure of what you are doing.
#
# However, you will need to enable this option if you run Squid
# as a transparent proxy. Otherwise, virtual servers which
# require the Host: header will not be properly cached.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: dns_testnames
# The DNS tests exit as soon as the first site is successfully looked up
#
# If you want to disable DNS tests, do not comment out or delete this
# list. Instead use the -D command line option
#
dns_testnames netscape.com internic.net nlanr.net microsoft.com

# TAG: logfile_rotate
# Specifies the number of logfile rotations to make when you
# type 'squid -k rotate'. The default is 10, which will rotate
# with extensions 0 through 9. Setting logfile_rotate to 0 will
# disable the rotation, but the logfiles are still closed and
# re-opened. This will enable you to rename the logfiles
# yourself just before sending the rotate signal.
#
# Note, the 'squid -k rotate' command normally sends a USR1
# signal to the running squid process. In certain situations
# (e.g. on Linux with Async I/O), USR1 is used for other
# purposes, so -k rotate uses another signal. It is best to get
# in the habit of using 'squid -k rotate' instead of 'kill -USR1
# <pid>'.
#
logfile_rotate 1

# TAG: append_domain
# Appends local domain name to hostnames without any dots in
# them. append_domain must begin with a period.
#

# TAG: tcp_recv_bufsize (bytes)
# Size of receive buffer to set for TCP sockets. Probably just
# as easy to change your kernel's default. Set to zero to use
# the default buffer size.
#
#tcp_recv_bufsize 0 bytes

# TAG: err_html_text
# HTML text to include in error messages. Make this a "mailto"
# URL to your admin address, or maybe just a link to your
# organizations Web page.
#
# To include this in your error messages, you must rewrite
# the error template files (found in the "errors" directory).
# Wherever you want the 'err_html_text' line to appear,
# insert a %L tag in the error template file.
#err_html_text

# TAG: deny_info
# Usage: deny_info err_page_name acl
# Example: deny_info ERR_CUSTOM_ACCESS_DENIED bad_guys
#
# This can be used to return a ERR_ page for requests which
# do not pass the 'http_access' rules. A single ACL will cause
# the http_access check to fail. If a 'deny_info' line exists
# for that ACL then Squid returns a corresponding error page.
#
# You may use ERR_ pages that come with Squid or create your own pages
# and put them into the configured errors/ directory.

# TAG: memory_pools on|off
# If set, Squid will keep pools of allocated (but unused) memory
# available for future use. If memory is a premium on your
# system and you believe your malloc library outperforms Squid
# routines, disable this.
#
#memory_pools on

# TAG: memory_pools_limit (bytes)
# Used only with memory_pools on:
# memory_pools_limit 50 MB
#
# If set to a non-zero value, Squid will keep at most the specified
# limit of allocated (but unused) memory in memory pools. All free()
# requests that exceed this limit will be handled by your malloc
# library. Squid does not pre-allocate any memory, just safe-keeps
# objects that otherwise would be free()d. Thus, it is safe to set
# memory_pools_limit to a reasonably high value even if your
# configuration will use less memory.
#
# If not set (default) or set to zero, Squid will keep all memory it
# can. That is, there will be no limit on the total amount of memory
# used for safe-keeping.
#
# To disable memory allocation optimization, do not set
# memory_pools_limit to 0. Set memory_pools to "off" instead.
#
# An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
# when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per
# object kept. However, pools may actually _save_ memory because of
# reduced memory thrashing in your malloc library.

# TAG: forwarded_for on|off
# If set, Squid will include your system's IP address or name
# in the HTTP requests it forwards. By default it looks like
# this:
#
# X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3
#
# If you disable this, it will appear as
#
# X-Forwarded-For: unknown
#
#forwarded_for on

# TAG: log_icp_queries on|off
# If set, ICP queries are logged to access.log. You may wish
# do disable this if your ICP load is VERY high to speed things
# up or to simplify log analysis.
#
#log_icp_queries on

# TAG: icp_hit_stale on|off
# If you want to return ICP_HIT for stale cache objects, set this
# option to 'on'. If you have sibling relationships with caches
# in other administrative domains, this should be 'off'. If you only
# have sibling relationships with caches under your control, then
# it is probably okay to set this to 'on'.

#
#netdb_ping_period 5 minutes

# TAG: query_icmp on|off
# If you want to ask your peers to include ICMP data in their ICP
# replies, enable this option.
#
# If your peer has configured Squid (during compilation) with
# '--enable-icmp' then that peer will send ICMP pings to origin server
# sites of the URLs it receives. If you enable this option then the
# ICP replies from that peer will include the ICMP data (if available).
# Then, when choosing a parent cache, Squid will choose the parent with
# the minimal RTT to the origin server. When this happens, the
# hierarchy field of the access.log will be
# "CLOSEST_PARENT_MISS". This option is off by default.
#
#query_icmp off

# TAG: test_reachability on|off
# When this is 'on', ICP MISS replies will be ICP_MISS_NOFETCH
# instead of ICP_MISS if the target host is NOT in the ICMP

#
#test_reachability off

# TAG: buffered_logs on|off
# Some log files (cache.log, useragent.log) are written with
# stdio functions, and as such they can be buffered or
# unbuffered. By default they will be unbuffered. Buffering them
# can speed up the writing slightly (though you are unlikely to
# need to worry).
#buffered_logs off

# TAG: reload_into_ims on|off
# When you enable this option, client no-cache or ``reload''

#
# see also refresh_pattern for a more selective approach.
#
# This option may be disabled by using --disable-http-violations
# with the configure script.
#reload_into_ims off

# TAG: always_direct
# Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
# Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
# ALWAYS be forwarded directly to origin servers. For example,
# to always directly forward requests for local servers use
# something like:
#
# acl local-servers dstdomain my.domain.net
# always_direct allow local-servers
#
# To always forward FTP requests directly, use
#
# acl FTP proto FTP
# always_direct allow FTP
#
# NOTE: There is a similar, but opposite option named
# 'never_direct'. You need to be aware that "always_direct deny
# foo" is NOT the same thing as "never_direct allow foo". You
# may need to use a deny rule to exclude a more-specific case of
# some other rule. Example:
#
# acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
# acl local-servers dstdomain foo.net
# always_direct deny local-external
# always_direct allow local-servers
#
# This option replaces some v1.1 options such as local_domain
# and local_ip.

# TAG: never_direct
# Usage: never_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
# never_direct is the opposite of always_direct. Please read
# the description for always_direct if you have not already.
#
# With 'never_direct' you can use ACL elements to specify
# requests which should NEVER be forwarded directly to origin
# servers. For example, to force the use of a proxy for all
# requests, except those in your local domain use something like:
#
# acl local-servers dstdomain foo.net
# acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
# never_direct deny local-servers
# never_direct allow all
#
# or if squid is inside a firewall and there is local intranet
# servers inside the firewall then use something like:
#
# acl local-intranet dstdomain foo.net
# acl local-external dstdomain external.foo.net
# always_direct deny local-external
# always_direct allow local-intranet
# never_direct allow all
#
# This option replaces some v1.1 options such as inside_firewall
# and firewall_ip.

# TAG: anonymize_headers
# Usage: anonymize_headers allow|deny header_name ...
#
# This option replaces the old 'http_anonymizer' option with
# something that is much more configurable. You may now
# specify exactly which headers are to be allowed, or which
# are to be removed from outgoing requests.
#
# There are two methods of using this option. You may either
# allow specific headers (thus denying all others), or you
# may deny specific headers (thus allowing all others).
#
# For example, to achieve the same behaviour as the old
# 'http_anonymizer standard' option, you should use:
#
# anonymize_headers deny From Referer Server
# anonymize_headers deny User-Agent WWW-Authenticate Link
#
# Or, to reproduce the old 'http_anonymizer paranoid' feature
# you should use:
#
# anonymize_headers allow Allow Authorization Cache-Control
# anonymize_headers allow Content-Encoding Content-Length
# anonymize_headers allow Content-Type Date Expires Host
# anonymize_headers allow If-Modified-Since Last-Modified
# anonymize_headers allow Location Pragma Accept Charset
# anonymize_headers allow Accept-Encoding Accept-Language
# anonymize_headers allow Content-Language Mime-Version
# anonymize_headers allow Retry-After Title Connection
# anonymize_headers allow Proxy-Connection
#
# NOTE: You can not mix "allow" and "deny". All 'anonymize_headers'
# lines must have the same second argument.
#
# By default, all headers are allowed (no anonymizing is
# performed).
#
#anonymize_headers

# TAG: fake_user_agent
# If you filter the User-Agent header with 'anonymize_headers' it
# may cause some Web servers to refuse your request. Use this to
# fake one up. For example:
#
# fake_user_agent Nutscrape/1.0 (CP/M; 8-bit)
# (credit to Paul Southworth pauls@etext.org for this one!)
#
#fake_user_agent none

# TAG: icon_directory
# Where the icons are stored. These are normally kept in
# /usr/local/squid/etc/icons

# TAG: error_directory
# If you wish to create your own versions of the default
# (English) error files, either to customise them to suit your
# language or company copy the template english files to another
# directory and point this tag at them.

# TAG: minimum_retry_timeout (seconds)
# This specifies the minimum connect timeout, for when the
# connect timeout is reduced to compensate for the availability
# of multiple IP addresses.
#
# When a connection to a host is initiated, and that host has
# several IP addresses, the default connection timeout is reduced
# by dividing it by the number of addresses. So, a site with 15
# addresses would then have a timeout of 8 seconds for each
# address attempted. To avoid having the timeout reduced to the
# point where even a working host would not have a chance to
# respond, this setting is provided. The default, and the
# minimum value, is five seconds, and the maximum value is sixty
# seconds, or half of connect_timeout, whichever is greater and
# less than connect_timeout.
#
#minimum_retry_timeout 5 seconds

# TAG: maximum_single_addr_tries
# This sets the maximum number of connection attempts for a
# host that only has one address (for multiple-address hosts,
# each address is tried once).
#
# The default value is three tries, the (not recommended)
# maximum is 255 tries. A warning message will be generated
# if it is set to a value greater than ten.
#
#maximum_single_addr_tries 3

# TAG: snmp_port
# Squid can now serve statistics and status information via SNMP.
# By default it listens to port 3401 on the machine. If you don't
# wish to use SNMP, set this to '-1'.
#
# NOTE: SNMP support requires use the --enable-snmp configure
# command line option.
#snmp_port 3401

# TAG: forward_snmpd_port
# This configures whether we should be forwarding SNMP requests
# to another snmpd. The reason for putting this piece of
# functionality into Squid was to enable access to the system's
# installed snmpd with minimal changes. This option is turned
# off by default, check with your /etc/services for your system's
# snmp port (usually 161). We do not use getservbyname() to
# allow you to set Squid into port 161 and your system's snmpd to
# another port by changing /etc/services.
#
# WARNING: Because of Squid acting as a proxy snmpd for system
# you have to do security checks on THIS snmpd for all objects.
# Check your snmp_config_file.
#forward_snmpd_port 0

# TAG: snmp_access
# Allowing or denying access to the SNMP port.
#
# All access to the agent is denied by default.
# usage:
#
# snmp_access allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
#Example:
#snmp_access allow public localhost
#snmp_access deny all

# TAG: snmp_incoming_address
# TAG: snmp_outgoing_address
# Just like 'udp_incoming_address' above, but for the SNMP port.
#
# snmp_incoming_address is used for the SNMP socket receiving
# messages from SNMP agents.
# snmp_outgoing_address is used for SNMP packets returned to SNMP
# agents.
#
# The default behaviour is to not bind to any specific address.
#
# NOTE, snmp_incoming_address and snmp_outgoing_address can not have
# the same value since they both use port 3130.
#
#snmp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0
#snmp_outgoing_address 0.0.0.0

# TAG: as_whois_server
# WHOIS server to query for AS numbers. NOTE: AS numbers are
# queried only when Squid starts up, not for every request.

# DELAY POOL PARAMETERS (all require DELAY_POOLS compilation option)
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# TAG: delay_pools
# This represents the number of delay pools to be used. For example,
# if you have one class 2 delay pool and one class 3 delays pool, you
# have a total of 2 delay pools.
#
# To enable this option, you must use --enable-delay-pools with the
# configure script.
#delay_pools 0

# TAG: delay_class
# This defines the class of each delay pool. There must be exactly one
# delay_class line for each delay pool. For example, to define two
# delay pools, one of class 2 and one of class 3, the settings above
# and here would be:
#
#delay_pools 2 # 2 delay pools
#delay_class 1 2 # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
#delay_class 2 3 # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
#
# The delay pool classes are:
#
# class 1 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
# bucket.
#
# class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
# bucket as well as an "individual" bucket chosen
# from bits 25 through 32 of the IP address.
#
# class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate
# bucket as well as a "network" bucket chosen
# from bits 17 through 24 of the IP address and a
# "individual" bucket chosen from bits 17 through
# 32 of the IP address.
#
# NOTE: If an IP address is a.b.c.d
# -> bits 25 through 32 are "d"
# -> bits 17 through 24 are "c"
# -> bits 17 through 32 are "c * 256 + d"

# TAG: delay_access
# This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
# The first matched delay pool is always used, ie, if a request falls
# into delay pool number one, no more delay are checked, otherwise the
# rest are checked in order of their delay pool number until they have
# all been checked. For example, if you want some_big_clients in delay
# pool 1 and lotsa_little_clients in delay pool 2:
#
#delay_access 1 allow some_big_clients
#delay_access 1 deny all
#delay_access 2 allow lotsa_little_clients
#delay_access 2 deny all

# TAG: delay_parameters
# This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
# a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
# description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is:
#
#delay_parameters pool aggregate
#
# For a class 2 delay pool:
#
#delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
#
# For a class 3 delay pool:
#
#delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
#
# The variables here are:
#
# pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the
# number specified in delay_pools as used in
# delay_class lines.
#
# aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket
# (class 1, 2, 3).
#
# individual the "delay parameters" for the individual
# buckets (class 2, 3).
#
# network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets
# (class 3).
#
# A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is
# the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually
# quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the
# maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time.
#
# For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the
# above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps
# (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
#
#delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000
#
# Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited".
#
# And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
# example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit)
# with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
# individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
# to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
# (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
# large downloads more significantly:
#
#delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000
#
# There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.

# TAG: delay_initial_bucket_level (percent, 0-100)
# The initial bucket percentage is used to determine how much is put
# in each bucket when squid starts, is reconfigured, or first notices
# a host accessing it (in class 2 and class 3, individual hosts and
# networks only have buckets associated with them once they have been
# "seen" by squid).
#
#delay_initial_bucket_level 50

# TAG: incoming_icp_average
# TAG: incoming_http_average
# TAG: min_icp_poll_cnt
# TAG: min_http_poll_cnt
# Heavy voodoo here. I can't even believe you are reading this.
# Are you crazy? Don't even think about adjusting these unless
# you understand the algorithms in comm_select.c first!
#
#incoming_icp_average 6
#incoming_http_average 4
#min_icp_poll_cnt 8
#min_http_poll_cnt 8

# TAG: max_open_disk_fds
# TAG: offline_mode
# Enable this option and Squid will never try to validate cached
# objects.

# TAG: uri_whitespace
# What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the
# URI. Options:
#
# deny: The request is denied. The user receives an "Invalid
# Request" message.
# allow: The request is allowed and the URI is not changed. The
# whitespace characters remain in the URI. Note the
# whitespace is passed to redirector processes if they
# are in use.
# encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
# encoded according to RFC1738. This could be considered
# a violation of the HTTP/1.1
# RFC because proxies are not allowed to rewrite URI's.
# chop: The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
# first whitespace. This might also be considered a
# violation.
uri_whitespace encode

# TAG: broken_posts
# A list of ACL elements which, if matched, causes Squid to send
# a extra CRLF pair after the body of a PUT/POST request.
#
# Some HTTP servers has broken implementations of PUT/POST,
# and rely on a extra CRLF pair sent by some WWW clients.
#
# Quote from RFC 2068 section 4.1 on this matter:
#
# Note: certain buggy HTTP/1.0 client implementations generate an
# extra CRLF's after a POST request. To restate what is explicitly
# forbidden by the BNF, an HTTP/1.1 client must not preface or follow
# a request with an extra CRLF.
#
#acl buggy_server url_regex ^http://....
#broken_posts allow buggy_server

# TAG: mcast_miss_addr
# If you enable this option, every "cache miss" URL will
# be sent out on the specified multicast address.
#
# Do not enable this option unless you are are absolutely
# certain you understand what you are doing.

# TAG: mcast_miss_port
# This is the port number to be used in conjuction with
# 'mcast_miss_addr'.

# TAG: mcast_miss_encode_key
# The URLs that are sent in the multicast miss stream are
# encrypted. This is the encryption key.

# TAG: prefer_direct
# By default, if the ICP, HTCP, Cache Digest, etc. techniques
# do not yield a parent cache, Squid gives higher preference
# to forwarding the request direct to origin servers, rather
# than selecting a parent cache anyway.
#
# If you want Squid to give higher precedence to a parent
# cache, instead of going direct, then turn this option off.
#prefer_direct on

# TAG: strip_query_terms
# By default, Squid strips query terms from requested URLs before
# logging. This protects your user's privacy.
#strip_query_terms on

# TAG: coredump_dir
# By default Squid leaves core files in the first cache_dir
# directory. If you set 'coredump_dir' to a directory
# that exists, Squid will chdir() to that directory at startup
# and coredump files will be left there.
