All the httpd_accel_* directives affects how Squid rebuilds the
requested URL in accelerator mode. In all other aspects Squid still
operates as a proxy, and the documentation in these chapters/entries
assumes you know how to operate it as a proxy.

httpd_accel_host virtual
makes Squid to reconstruct the URL using the IP address where the
request was accepted

httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
makes Squid use the Host header of the request

There is not much more to say about these directives. They are veru
primitive.
