+# ----------------------------------------------------------
+#      David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>   May-09-2006
+#
+# Checks for libcurl.  DEFAULT-ACTION is the string yes or no to
+# specify whether to default to --with-libcurl or --without-libcurl.
+# If not supplied, DEFAULT-ACTION is yes.  MINIMUM-VERSION is the
+# minimum version of libcurl to accept.  Pass the version as a regular
+# version number like 7.10.1. If not supplied, any version is
+# accepted.  ACTION-IF-YES is a list of shell commands to run if
+# libcurl was successfully found and passed the various tests.
+# ACTION-IF-NO is a list of shell commands that are run otherwise.
+# Note that using --without-libcurl does run ACTION-IF-NO.
+#
+# This macro #defines HAVE_LIBCURL if a working libcurl setup is
+# found, and sets @LIBCURL@ and @LIBCURL_CPPFLAGS@ to the necessary
+# values.  Other useful defines are LIBCURL_FEATURE_xxx where xxx are
+# the various features supported by libcurl, and LIBCURL_PROTOCOL_yyy
+# where yyy are the various protocols supported by libcurl.  Both xxx
+# and yyy are capitalized.  See the list of AH_TEMPLATEs at the top of
+# the macro for the complete list of possible defines.  Shell
+# variables $libcurl_feature_xxx and $libcurl_protocol_yyy are also
+# defined to 'yes' for those features and protocols that were found.
+# Note that xxx and yyy keep the same capitalization as in the
+# curl-config list (e.g. it's "HTTP" and not "http").
+#
+# Users may override the detected values by doing something like:
+# LIBCURL="-lcurl" LIBCURL_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/myinclude" ./configure
+#
+# For the sake of sanity, this macro assumes that any libcurl that is
+# found is after version 7.7.2, the first version that included the
+# curl-config script.  Note that it is very important for people
+# packaging binary versions of libcurl to include this script!
+# Without curl-config, we can only guess what protocols are available,
+# or use curl_version_info to figure it out at runtime.

+#       WELCOME TO SQUID 3.5.27
+#       ----------------------------
+#
+#       This is the documentation for the Squid configuration file.
+#       This documentation can also be found online at:
+#               http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/
+#
+#       You may wish to look at the Squid home page and wiki for the
+#       FAQ and other documentation:
+#               http://www.squid-cache.org/
+#               http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
+#               http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples
+#
+#       This documentation shows what the defaults for various directives
+#       happen to be.  If you don't need to change the default, you should
+#       leave the line out of your squid.conf in most cases.
+#
+#       In some cases "none" refers to no default setting at all,
+#       while in other cases it refers to the value of the option
+#       - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the case.
+#
+
+#  Configuration options can be included using the "include" directive.
+#  Include takes a list of files to include. Quoting and wildcards are
+#  supported.
+#
+#  For example,
+#
+#  include /path/to/included/file/squid.acl.config
+#
+#  Includes can be nested up to a hard-coded depth of 16 levels.
+#  This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
+#  from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
+#  configuration files.
+#
+#  Values with byte units
+#
+#       Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All
+#       such directives are documented with a default value displaying
+#       a unit.
+#
+#       Units accepted by Squid are:
+#               bytes - byte
+#               KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
+#               MB - Megabyte
+#               GB - Gigabyte
+#
+#  Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters
+#
+#       Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other
+#       special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use
+#       the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or
+#       disable that support.
+#
+#       Squid supports reading configuration option parameters from external
+#       files using the syntax:
+#               parameters("/path/filename")
+#       For example:
+#               acl whitelist dstdomain parameters("/etc/squid/whitelist.txt")
+#
+#  Conditional configuration
+#
+#       If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
+#       depend on conditions:
+#
+#           if <CONDITION>
+#               ... regular configuration directives ...
+#           [else
+#               ... regular configuration directives ...]
+#           endif
+#
+#       The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
+#       must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
+#       configuration directives.
+#
+#       NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
+#
+#       These individual conditions types are supported:
+#
+#           true
+#               Always evaluates to true.
+#           false
+#               Always evaluates to false.

+
+#  TAG: workers
+#       Number of main Squid processes or "workers" to fork and maintain.
+#       0: "no daemon" mode, like running "squid -N ..."
+#       1: "no SMP" mode, start one main Squid process daemon (default)

+#
+#       In SMP mode, each worker does nearly all what a single Squid daemon

+#Default:
+# SMP support disabled.
+
+#  TAG: cpu_affinity_map
+#       Usage: cpu_affinity_map process_numbers=P1,P2,... cores=C1,C2,...
+#
+#       Sets 1:1 mapping between Squid processes and CPU cores. For example,

+#
+#       See also: workers
+#Default:
+# Let operating system decide.
+
+# OPTIONS FOR AUTHENTICATION
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  TAG: auth_param
+#       This is used to define parameters for the various authentication
+#       schemes supported by Squid.
+#
+#               format: auth_param scheme parameter [setting]
+#
+#       The order in which authentication schemes are presented to the client is
+#       dependent on the order the scheme first appears in config file. IE
+#       has a bug (it's not RFC 2617 compliant) in that it will use the basic
+#       scheme if basic is the first entry presented, even if more secure
+#       schemes are presented. For now use the order in the recommended
+#       settings section below. If other browsers have difficulties (don't
+#       recognize the schemes offered even if you are using basic) either
+#       put basic first, or disable the other schemes (by commenting out their
+#       program entry).
+#
+#       Once an authentication scheme is fully configured, it can only be
+#       shutdown by shutting squid down and restarting. Changes can be made on
+#       the fly and activated with a reconfigure. I.E. You can change to a
+#       different helper, but not unconfigure the helper completely.
+#
+#       Please note that while this directive defines how Squid processes
+#       authentication it does not automatically activate authentication.
+#       To use authentication you must in addition make use of ACLs based
+#       on login name in http_access (proxy_auth, proxy_auth_regex or
+#       external with %LOGIN used in the format tag). The browser will be
+#       challenged for authentication on the first such acl encountered
+#       in http_access processing and will also be re-challenged for new
+#       login credentials if the request is being denied by a proxy_auth
+#       type acl.
+#
+#       WARNING: authentication can't be used in a transparently intercepting
+#       proxy as the client then thinks it is talking to an origin server and
+#       not the proxy. This is a limitation of bending the TCP/IP protocol to
+#       transparently intercepting port 80, not a limitation in Squid.
+#       Ports flagged 'transparent', 'intercept', or 'tproxy' have
+#       authentication disabled.
+#
+#       === Parameters common to all schemes. ===
+#
+#       "program" cmdline
+#               Specifies the command for the external authenticator.
+#
+#               By default, each authentication scheme is not used unless a
+#               program is specified.
+#
+#               See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/AddonHelpers for
+#               more details on helper operations and creating your own.
+#
+#       "key_extras" format
+#               Specifies a string to be append to request line format for
+#               the authentication helper. "Quoted" format values may contain
+#               spaces and logformat %macros. In theory, any logformat %macro
+#               can be used. In practice, a %macro expands as a dash (-) if
+#               the helper request is sent before the required macro
+#               information is available to Squid.
+#
+#               By default, Squid uses request formats provided in
+#               scheme-specific examples below (search for %credentials).
+#
+#               The expanded key_extras value is added to the Squid credentials
+#               cache and, hence, will affect authentication. It can be used to
+#               autenticate different users with identical user names (e.g.,
+#               when user authentication depends on http_port).
+#
+#               Avoid adding frequently changing information to key_extras. For
+#               example, if you add user source IP, and it changes frequently
+#               in your environment, then max_user_ip ACL is going to treat
+#               every user+IP combination as a unique "user", breaking the ACL
+#               and wasting a lot of memory on those user records. It will also
+#               force users to authenticate from scratch whenever their IP
+#               changes.
+#
+#       "realm" string
+#               Specifies the protection scope (aka realm name) which is to be
+#               reported to the client for the authentication scheme. It is
+#               commonly part of the text the user will see when prompted for
+#               their username and password.
+#
+#               For Basic the default is "Squid proxy-caching web server".
+#               For Digest there is no default, this parameter is mandatory.
+#               For NTLM and Negotiate this parameter is ignored.
+#
+#       "children" numberofchildren [startup=N] [idle=N] [concurrency=N]
+#
+#               The maximum number of authenticator processes to spawn. If
+#               you start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process
+#               a backlog of credential verifications, slowing it down. When
+#               password verifications are done via a (slow) network you are
+#               likely to need lots of authenticator processes.
+#
+#               The startup= and idle= options permit some skew in the exact
+#               amount run. A minimum of startup=N will begin during startup
+#               and reconfigure. Squid will start more in groups of up to
+#               idle=N in an attempt to meet traffic needs and to keep idle=N
+#               free above those traffic needs up to the maximum.
+#
+#               The concurrency= option sets the number of concurrent requests
+#               the helper can process.  The default of 0 is used for helpers
+#               who only supports one request at a time. Setting this to a
+#               number greater than 0 changes the protocol used to include a
+#               channel ID field first on the request/response line, allowing
+#               multiple requests to be sent to the same helper in parallel
+#               without waiting for the response.
+#
+#               Concurrency must not be set unless it's known the helper
+#               supports the input format with channel-ID fields.
+#
+#               NOTE: NTLM and Negotiate schemes do not support concurrency
+#                       in the Squid code module even though some helpers can.
+#
+#
+#
+#       === Example Configuration ===
+#
+#       This configuration displays the recommended authentication scheme
+#       order from most to least secure with recommended minimum configuration
+#       settings for each scheme:

+#  TAG: authenticate_cache_garbage_interval
+#       The time period between garbage collection across the username cache.
+#       This is a trade-off between memory utilization (long intervals - say
+#       2 days) and CPU (short intervals - say 1 minute). Only change if you
+#       have good reason to.
+#Default:
+# authenticate_cache_garbage_interval 1 hour
+
+#  TAG: authenticate_ttl
+#       The time a user & their credentials stay in the logged in
+#       user cache since their last request. When the garbage
+#       interval passes, all user credentials that have passed their
+#       TTL are removed from memory.
+#Default:
+# authenticate_ttl 1 hour
+
+#  TAG: authenticate_ip_ttl
+#       If you use proxy authentication and the 'max_user_ip' ACL,
+#       this directive controls how long Squid remembers the IP
+#       addresses associated with each user.  Use a small value
+#       (e.g., 60 seconds) if your users might change addresses
+#       quickly, as is the case with dialup.   You might be safe
+#       using a larger value (e.g., 2 hours) in a corporate LAN
+#       environment with relatively static address assignments.

+#                       consumes at least 256 bytes. Squid currently does not remove
+#                       expired cache entries until the limit is reached, so a proxy
+#                       will sooner or later reach the limit. The expanded FORMAT
+#                       value is used as the cache key, so if the details in FORMAT
+#                       are highly variable, a larger cache may be needed to produce

+#
+#       General request syntax:
+#
+#         [channel-ID] FORMAT-values [acl-values ...]
+#
+#
+#       FORMAT-values consists of transaction details expanded with
+#       whitespace separation per the config file FORMAT specification
+#       using the FORMAT macros listed above.
+#
+#       acl-values consists of any string specified in the referencing
+#       config 'acl ... external' line. see the "acl external" directive.
+#
+#       Request values sent to the helper are URL escaped to protect
+#       each value in requests against whitespaces.
+#
+#       If using protocol=2.5 then the request sent to the helper is not
+#       URL escaped to protect against whitespace.
+#
+#       NOTE: protocol=3.0 is deprecated as no longer necessary.
+#
+#       When using the concurrency= option the protocol is changed by
+#       introducing a query channel tag in front of the request/response.
+#       The query channel tag is a number between 0 and concurrency-1.
+#       This value must be echoed back unchanged to Squid as the first part
+#       of the response relating to its request.
+#
+#
+#       The helper receives lines expanded per the above format specification
+#       and for each input line returns 1 line starting with OK/ERR/BH result
+#       code and optionally followed by additional keywords with more details.
+#
+#
+#       General result syntax:
+#
+#         [channel-ID] result keyword=value ...
+#
+#       Result consists of one of the codes:
+#
+#         OK
+#               the ACL test produced a match.
+#
+#         ERR
+#               the ACL test does not produce a match.
+#
+#         BH
+#               An internal error occurred in the helper, preventing
+#               a result being identified.
+#
+#       The meaning of 'a match' is determined by your squid.conf
+#       access control configuration. See the Squid wiki for details.
+#
+#       Defined keywords:
+#
+#         user=         The users name (login)
+#
+#         password=     The users password (for login= cache_peer option)
+#
+#         message=      Message describing the reason for this response.
+#                       Available as %o in error pages.
+#                       Useful on (ERR and BH results).
+#
+#         tag=          Apply a tag to a request. Only sets a tag once,
+#                       does not alter existing tags.
+#
+#         log=          String to be logged in access.log. Available as
+#                       %ea in logformat specifications.

+#                       for this kv-pair.
+#
+#       Any keywords may be sent on any response whether OK, ERR or BH.
+#
+#       All response keyword values need to be a single token with URL
+#       escaping, or enclosed in double quotes (") and escaped using \ on
+#       any double quotes or \ characters within the value. The wrapping
+#       double quotes are removed before the value is interpreted by Squid.
+#       \r and \n are also replace by CR and LF.

+#       Some example key values:

+#               user=John%20Smith
+#               user="John Smith"
+#               user="J. \"Bob\" Smith"
+#Default:
+# none
+
+#  TAG: acl
+#       Defining an Access List
+#
+#       Every access list definition must begin with an aclname and acltype,
+#       followed by either type-specific arguments or a quoted filename that
+#       they are read from.
+#
+#          acl aclname acltype argument ...
+#          acl aclname acltype "file" ...
+#
+#       When using "file", the file should contain one item per line.
+#
+#       Some acl types supports options which changes their default behaviour.
+#       The available options are:
+#
+#       -i,+i   By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make them
+#               case-insensitive, use the -i option. To return case-sensitive
+#               use the +i option between patterns, or make a new ACL line
+#               without -i.
+#
+#       -n      Disable lookups and address type conversions.  If lookup or
+#               conversion is required because the parameter type (IP or
+#               domain name) does not match the message address type (domain
+#               name or IP), then the ACL would immediately declare a mismatch
+#               without any warnings or lookups.
+#
+#       --      Used to stop processing all options, in the case the first acl
+#               value has '-' character as first character (for example the '-'
+#               is a valid domain name)
+#
+#       Some acl types require suspending the current request in order
+#       to access some external data source.
+#       Those which do are marked with the tag [slow], those which
+#       don't are marked as [fast].

+#       This directive is solely for validating new PROXY protocol

+#       It is checked only once after TCP connection setup.
+#
+#       A deny match results in TCP connection closure.
+#
+#       An allow match is required for Squid to permit the corresponding
+#       TCP connection, before Squid even looks for HTTP request headers.
+#       If there is an allow match, Squid starts using PROXY header information
+#       to determine the source address of the connection for all future ACL

+#       For the purpose of ACLs used in this directive the src ACL type always

+#       NOTE: Squid does not yet follow the Forwarded HTTP header.
+#
+#       The end result of this process is an IP address that we will

+#       Enables Native FTP proxy by specifying the socket address where Squid

+#
+#       Usage: ftp_port address [mode] [options]
+#
+#       WARNING: This is a new, experimental, complex feature that has seen
+#       limited production exposure. Some Squid modules (e.g., caching) do not
+#       currently work with native FTP proxying, and many features have not
+#       even been tested for compatibility. Test well before deploying!
+#
+#       Native FTP proxying differs substantially from proxying HTTP requests
+#       with ftp:// URIs because Squid works as an FTP server and receives
+#       actual FTP commands (rather than HTTP requests with FTP URLs).
+#
+#       Native FTP commands accepted at ftp_port are internally converted or
+#       wrapped into HTTP-like messages. The same happens to Native FTP
+#       responses received from FTP origin servers. Those HTTP-like messages
+#       are shoveled through regular access control and adaptation layers
+#       between the FTP client and the FTP origin server. This allows Squid to

+#               page and logs a security warning if there is no match.
+#
+#               Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches
+#               the Host header for forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic
+#               as well. For those traffic types, Squid also enables the
+#               following checks, comparing the corresponding Host header
+#               and Request-URI components:
+#
+#                * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
+#                  but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
+#                  For the two host names to match, both must be either IP
+#                  or FQDN.
+#
+#                * Port numbers must be identical, but if a port is missing
+#                  the scheme-default port is assumed.
+#
+#
+#       When set to OFF (the default):
+#               Squid allows suspicious requests to continue but logs a
+#               security warning and blocks caching of the response.
+#
+#                * Forward-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
+#
+#                * Reverse-proxy traffic is not checked at all.
+#
+#                * Intercepted traffic which passes verification is handled
+#                  according to client_dst_passthru.
+#
+#                * Intercepted requests which fail verification are sent
+#                  to the client original destination instead of DIRECT.
+#                  This overrides 'client_dst_passthru off'.
+#
+#               For now suspicious intercepted CONNECT requests are always
+#               responded to with an HTTP 409 (Conflict) error page.
+#
+#
+#       SECURITY NOTE:
+#
+#       As described in CVE-2009-0801 when the Host: header alone is used
+#       to determine the destination of a request it becomes trivial for
+#       malicious scripts on remote websites to bypass browser same-origin
+#       security policy and sandboxing protections.
+#
+#       The cause of this is that such applets are allowed to perform their
+#       own HTTP stack, in which case the same-origin policy of the browser
+#       sandbox only verifies that the applet tries to contact the same IP
+#       as from where it was loaded at the IP level. The Host: header may
+#       be different from the connected IP and approved origin.
+#
+#Default:
+# host_verify_strict off
+
+#  TAG: client_dst_passthru
+#       With NAT or TPROXY intercepted traffic Squid may pass the request
+#       directly to the original client destination IP or seek a faster

+#
+#       Using Host to locate alternative servers can provide faster
+#       connectivity with a range of failure recovery options.
+#       But can also lead to connectivity trouble when the client and
+#       server are attempting stateful interactions unaware of the proxy.

+#       This option (on by default) prevents alternative DNS entries being

+#                       See ICP and HTCP options below for additional details.
+#
+#
+#       ==== ICP OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       You MUST also set icp_port and icp_access explicitly when using these options.
+#       The defaults will prevent peer traffic using ICP.
+#
+#
+#       no-query        Disable ICP queries to this neighbor.
+#
+#       multicast-responder
+#                       Indicates 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.
+#
+#       background-ping
+#                       To only send ICP queries to this neighbor infrequently.
+#                       This is used to keep the neighbor round trip time updated
+#                       and is usually used in conjunction with weighted-round-robin.
+#
+#
+#       ==== HTCP OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       You MUST also set htcp_port and htcp_access explicitly when using these options.
+#       The defaults will prevent peer traffic using HTCP.
+#
+#
+#       htcp            Send HTCP, instead of ICP, queries to the neighbor.
+#                       You probably also want to set the "icp-port" to 4827
+#                       instead of 3130. This directive accepts a comma separated
+#                       list of options described below.
+#
+#       htcp=oldsquid   Send HTCP to old Squid versions (2.5 or earlier).
+#
+#       htcp=no-clr     Send HTCP to the neighbor but without
+#                       sending any CLR requests.  This cannot be used with
+#                       only-clr.
+#
+#       htcp=only-clr   Send HTCP to the neighbor but ONLY CLR requests.
+#                       This cannot be used with no-clr.
+#
+#       htcp=no-purge-clr
+#                       Send HTCP to the neighbor including CLRs but only when
+#                       they do not result from PURGE requests.
+#
+#       htcp=forward-clr
+#                       Forward any HTCP CLR requests this proxy receives to the peer.
+#
+#
+#       ==== PEER SELECTION METHODS ====
+#
+#       The default peer selection method is ICP, with the first responding peer
+#       being used as source. These options can be used for better load balancing.
+#
+#
+#       default         This is a parent cache which can be used as a "last-resort"
+#                       if a peer cannot be located by any of the peer-selection methods.
+#                       If specified more than once, only the first is used.
+#
+#       round-robin     Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
+#                       fashion in the absence of any ICP queries.
+#                       weight=N can be used to add bias.

+#                       Load-Balance parents which should be used in a round-robin
+#                       fashion with the frequency of each parent being based on the
+#                       round trip time. Closer parents are used more often.
+#                       Usually used for background-ping parents.
+#                       weight=N can be used to add bias.
+#
+#       carp            Load-Balance parents which should be used as a CARP array.
+#                       The requests will be distributed among the parents based on the
+#                       CARP load balancing hash function based on their weight.
+#
+#       userhash        Load-balance parents based on the client proxy_auth or ident username.
+#
+#       sourcehash      Load-balance parents based on the client source IP.
+#
+#       multicast-siblings
+#                       To be used only for cache peers of type "multicast".
+#                       ALL members of this multicast group have "sibling"
+#                       relationship with it, not "parent".  This is to a multicast
+#                       group when the requested object would be fetched only from
+#                       a "parent" cache, anyway.  It's useful, e.g., when
+#                       configuring a pool of redundant Squid proxies, being
+#                       members of the same multicast group.
+#
+#
+#       ==== PEER SELECTION OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       weight=N        use to affect the selection of a peer during any weighted
+#                       peer-selection mechanisms.
+#                       The weight must be an integer; default is 1,
+#                       larger weights are favored more.
+#                       This option does not affect parent selection if a peering
+#                       protocol is not in use.
+#
+#       basetime=N      Specify a base amount to be subtracted from round trip
+#                       times of parents.
+#                       It is subtracted before division by weight in calculating
+#                       which parent to fectch from. If the rtt is less than the
+#                       base time the rtt is set to a minimal value.
+#
+#       ttl=N           Specify a TTL to use when sending multicast ICP queries
+#                       to this address.
+#                       Only useful when sending to a multicast group.
+#                       Because we don't accept ICP replies from random
+#                       hosts, you must configure other group members as
+#                       peers with the 'multicast-responder' option.
+#
+#       no-delay        To prevent access to this neighbor from influencing the
+#                       delay pools.
+#
+#       digest-url=URL  Tell Squid to fetch the cache digest (if digests are
+#                       enabled) for this host from the specified URL rather
+#                       than the Squid default location.
+#
+#
+#       ==== CARP OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       carp-key=key-specification
+#                       use a different key than the full URL to hash against the peer.
+#                       the key-specification is a comma-separated list of the keywords
+#                       scheme, host, port, path, params
+#                       Order is not important.
+#
+#       ==== ACCELERATOR / REVERSE-PROXY OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       originserver    Causes this parent to be contacted as an origin server.
+#                       Meant to be used in accelerator setups when the peer
+#                       is a web server.
+#
+#       forceddomain=name
+#                       Set the Host header of requests forwarded to this peer.
+#                       Useful in accelerator setups where the server (peer)
+#                       expects a certain domain name but clients may request
+#                       others. ie example.com or www.example.com
+#
+#       no-digest       Disable request of cache digests.
+#
+#       no-netdb-exchange
+#                       Disables requesting ICMP RTT database (NetDB).
+#
+#
+#       ==== AUTHENTICATION OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       login=user:password
+#                       If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
+#                       requires proxy authentication.
+#
+#                       Note: The string can include URL escapes (i.e. %20 for
+#                       spaces). This also means % must be written as %%.
+#
+#       login=PASSTHRU
+#                       Send login details received from client to this peer.
+#                       Both Proxy- and WWW-Authorization headers are passed
+#                       without alteration to the peer.
+#                       Authentication is not required by Squid for this to work.
+#
+#                       Note: This will pass any form of authentication but
+#                       only Basic auth will work through a proxy unless the
+#                       connection-auth options are also used.
+#
+#       login=PASS      Send login details received from client to this peer.
+#                       Authentication is not required by this option.
+#
+#                       If there are no client-provided authentication headers
+#                       to pass on, but username and password are available
+#                       from an external ACL user= and password= result tags
+#                       they may be sent instead.
+#
+#                       Note: To combine this with proxy_auth both proxies must
+#                       share the same user database as HTTP only allows for
+#                       a single login (one for proxy, one for origin server).
+#                       Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
+#                       password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION
+#
+#       login=*:password
+#                       Send the username to the upstream cache, but with a
+#                       fixed password. This is meant to be used when the peer
+#                       is in another administrative domain, but it is still
+#                       needed to identify each user.
+#                       The star can optionally be followed by some extra
+#                       information which is added to the username. This can
+#                       be used to identify this proxy to the peer, similar to
+#                       the login=username:password option above.
+#
+#       login=NEGOTIATE
+#                       If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
+#                       requires a secure proxy authentication.
+#                       The first principal from the default keytab or defined by
+#                       the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be used.
+#
+#                       WARNING: The connection may transmit requests from multiple
+#                       clients. Negotiate often assumes end-to-end authentication
+#                       and a single-client. Which is not strictly true here.
+#
+#       login=NEGOTIATE:principal_name
+#                       If this is a personal/workgroup proxy and your parent
+#                       requires a secure proxy authentication.
+#                       The principal principal_name from the default keytab or
+#                       defined by the environment variable KRB5_KTNAME will be
+#                       used.

+#
+#       connection-auth=on|off
+#                       Tell Squid that this peer does or not support Microsoft
+#                       connection oriented authentication, and any such
+#                       challenges received from there should be ignored.
+#                       Default is auto to automatically determine the status
+#                       of the peer.

+#                       If set to auto the header will only be added if the
+#                       request is forwarded as a https:// URL.
+#
+#
+#       ==== GENERAL OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       connect-timeout=N
+#                       A peer-specific connect timeout.
+#                       Also see the peer_connect_timeout directive.
+#
+#       connect-fail-limit=N
+#                       How many times connecting to a peer must fail before
+#                       it is marked as down. Standby connection failures
+#                       count towards this limit. Default is 10.
+#
+#       allow-miss      Disable Squid's use of only-if-cached when forwarding
+#                       requests to siblings. This is primarily useful when
+#                       icp_hit_stale is used by the sibling. Excessive use
+#                       of this option may result in forwarding loops. One way
+#                       to prevent peering loops when using this option, is to
+#                       deny cache peer usage on requests from a peer:
+#                       acl fromPeer ...
+#                       cache_peer_access peerName deny fromPeer
+#
+#       max-conn=N      Limit the number of concurrent connections the Squid
+#                       may open to this peer, including already opened idle
+#                       and standby connections. There is no peer-specific
+#                       connection limit by default.
+#
+#                       A peer exceeding the limit is not used for new
+#                       requests unless a standby connection is available.
+#
+#                       max-conn currently works poorly with idle persistent
+#                       connections: When a peer reaches its max-conn limit,
+#                       and there are idle persistent connections to the peer,
+#                       the peer may not be selected because the limiting code
+#                       does not know whether Squid can reuse those idle
+#                       connections.
+#
+#       standby=N       Maintain a pool of N "hot standby" connections to an
+#                       UP peer, available for requests when no idle
+#                       persistent connection is available (or safe) to use.
+#                       By default and with zero N, no such pool is maintained.
+#                       N must not exceed the max-conn limit (if any).
+#
+#                       At start or after reconfiguration, Squid opens new TCP
+#                       standby connections until there are N connections
+#                       available and then replenishes the standby pool as
+#                       opened connections are used up for requests. A used
+#                       connection never goes back to the standby pool, but
+#                       may go to the regular idle persistent connection pool
+#                       shared by all peers and origin servers.
+#
+#                       Squid never opens multiple new standby connections
+#                       concurrently.  This one-at-a-time approach minimizes
+#                       flooding-like effect on peers. Furthermore, just a few
+#                       standby connections should be sufficient in most cases
+#                       to supply most new requests with a ready-to-use

+#  TAG: cache_peer_domain
+#       Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be

+#
+#       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

+#
+#       NOTE:   * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host,

+
+#  TAG: cache_peer_access
+#       Restricts usage of cache_peer proxies.
+#
+#       Usage:
+#               cache_peer_access peer-name allow|deny [!]aclname ...
+#
+#       For the required peer-name parameter, use either the value of the
+#       cache_peer name=value parameter or, if name=value is missing, the
+#       cache_peer hostname parameter.
+#
+#       This directive narrows down the selection of peering candidates, but
+#       does not determine the order in which the selected candidates are
+#       contacted. That order is determined by the peer selection algorithms
+#       (see PEER SELECTION sections in the cache_peer documentation).
+#
+#       If a deny rule matches, the corresponding peer will not be contacted
+#       for the current transaction -- Squid will not send ICP queries and
+#       will not forward HTTP requests to that peer. An allow match leaves
+#       the corresponding peer in the selection. The first match for a given
+#       peer wins for that peer.
+#
+#       The relative order of cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
+#       matters. The relative order of any two cache_peer_access directives
+#       for different peers does not matter. To ease interpretation, it is a
+#       good idea to group cache_peer_access directives for the same peer
+#       together.
+#
+#       A single cache_peer_access directive may be evaluated multiple times
+#       for a given transaction because individual peer selection algorithms
+#       may check it independently from each other. These redundant checks
+#       may be optimized away in future Squid versions.
+#
+#       This clause only supports fast acl types.

+
+#  TAG: neighbor_type_domain
+#       Modify the cache_peer neighbor type when passing requests

+#
+#       Usage:
+#                neighbor_type_domain neighbor parent|sibling domain domain ...
+#
+#       For example:
+#               cache_peer foo.example.com parent 3128 3130
+#               neighbor_type_domain foo.example.com sibling .au .de
+#
+#       The above configuration treats all requests to foo.example.com as a
+#       parent proxy unless the request is for a .au or .de ccTLD domain name.
+#Default:
+# The peer type from cache_peer directive is used for all requests to that peer.
+
+#  TAG: dead_peer_timeout       (seconds)
+#       This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache
+#       as "dead."  If there are no ICP replies received in this
+#       amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not
+#       expect to receive any further ICP replies.  However, it
+#       continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as
+#       alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply.
+#
+#       This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP
+#       replies from peers.  If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have
+#       passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not
+#       expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query.  Thus, if
+#       your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you
+#       will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers
+#       instead of to your parents.
+#Default:
+# dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds
+
+#  TAG: forward_max_tries
+#       Controls how many different forward paths Squid will try
+#       before giving up. See also forward_timeout.
+#
+#       NOTE: connect_retries (default: none) can make each of these
+#       possible forwarding paths be tried multiple times.

+
+# MEMORY CACHE OPTIONS
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  TAG: cache_mem       (bytes)
+#       NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
+#       IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
+#       USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
+#       THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.
+#
+#       'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used
+#       for:
+#               * In-Transit objects
+#               * Hot Objects
+#               * Negative-Cached objects
+#
+#       Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks.  This
+#       parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of
+#       4 KB blocks allocated.  In-Transit objects take the highest
+#       priority.
+#
+#       In-transit objects have priority over the others.  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.
+#
+#       If shared memory caching is enabled, Squid does not use the shared
+#       cache space for in-transit objects, but they still consume as much
+#       local memory as they need. For more details about the shared memory
+#       cache, see memory_cache_shared.
+#Default:
+# cache_mem 256 MB
+
+#  TAG: maximum_object_size_in_memory   (bytes)
+#       Objects greater than this size will not be attempted to kept in
+#       the memory cache. This should be set high enough to keep objects
+#       accessed frequently in memory to improve performance whilst low
+#       enough to keep larger objects from hoarding cache_mem.
+#Default:
+# maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB
+
+#  TAG: memory_cache_shared     on|off
+#       Controls whether the memory cache is shared among SMP workers.
+#
+#       The shared memory cache is meant to occupy cache_mem bytes and replace
+#       the non-shared memory cache, although some entities may still be
+#       cached locally by workers for now (e.g., internal and in-transit
+#       objects may be served from a local memory cache even if shared memory
+#       caching is enabled).
+#
+#       By default, the memory cache is shared if and only if all of the
+#       following conditions are satisfied: Squid runs in SMP mode with
+#       multiple workers, cache_mem is positive, and Squid environment
+#       supports required IPC primitives (e.g., POSIX shared memory segments
+#       and GCC-style atomic operations).
+#
+#       To avoid blocking locks, shared memory uses opportunistic algorithms
+#       that do not guarantee that every cachable entity that could have been
+#       shared among SMP workers will actually be shared.
+#Default:
+# "on" where supported if doing memory caching with multiple SMP workers.
+
+#  TAG: memory_cache_mode

+#
+#       always  Keep most recently fetched objects in memory (default)
+#
+#       disk    Only disk cache hits are kept in memory, which means
+#               an object must first be cached on disk and then hit
+#               a second time before cached in memory.
+#
+#       network Only objects fetched from network is kept in memory
+#Default:

+# DISK CACHE OPTIONS
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  TAG: cache_replacement_policy
+#       The cache replacement policy parameter determines which
+#       objects are evicted (replaced) when disk space is needed.
+#
+#           lru       : Squid's original list based LRU policy
+#           heap GDSF : Greedy-Dual Size Frequency
+#           heap LFUDA: Least Frequently Used with Dynamic Aging
+#           heap LRU  : LRU policy implemented using a heap
+#
+#       Applies to any cache_dir lines listed below this directive.
+#
+#       The LRU policies keeps recently referenced objects.
+#
+#       The heap GDSF policy optimizes object hit rate by keeping smaller
+#       popular objects in cache so it has a better chance of getting a
+#       hit.  It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since
+#       it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects.
+#
+#       The heap LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of
+#       their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of
+#       hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many
+#       smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
+#
+#       Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents
+#       cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based
+#       replacement policies.
+#
+#       NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase
+#       the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4 MB to
+#       to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA.
+#
+#       For more information about the GDSF and LFUDA cache replacement
+#       policies see http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/1999/HPL-1999-69.html

+
+#  TAG: minimum_object_size     (bytes)
+#       Objects smaller than this size will NOT be saved on disk.  The

+
+#  TAG: cache_dir
+#       Format:
+#               cache_dir Type Directory-Name Fs-specific-data [options]
+#
+#       You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the
+#       cache among different disk partitions.
+#
+#       Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Only "ufs"
+#       is built by default. To enable any of the other storage systems
+#       see the --enable-storeio configure option.
+#
+#       'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap
+#       files will be stored.  If you want to use an entire disk
+#       for caching, 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.
+#
+#       In SMP configurations, cache_dir must not precede the workers option
+#       and should use configuration macros or conditionals to give each
+#       worker interested in disk caching a dedicated cache directory.
+#
+#
+#       ====  The ufs store type  ====
+#
+#       "ufs" is the old well-known Squid storage format that has always
+#       been there.
+#
+#       Usage:
+#               cache_dir ufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
+#
+#       'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this
+#       directory.  The default is 100 MB.  Change this to suit your
+#       configuration.  Do NOT put the size of your disk drive here.
+#       Instead, if you want Squid to use the entire disk drive,
+#       subtract 20% and use that value.
+#
+#       'L1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which
+#       will be created under the 'Directory'.  The default is 16.
+#
+#       'L2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which
+#       will be created under each first-level directory.  The default
+#       is 256.
+#
+#
+#       ====  The aufs store type  ====
+#
+#       "aufs" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing
+#       POSIX-threads to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
+#       disk-I/O. This was formerly known in Squid as async-io.
+#
+#       Usage:
+#               cache_dir aufs Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options]
+#
+#       see argument descriptions under ufs above
+#
+#
+#       ====  The diskd store type  ====
+#
+#       "diskd" uses the same storage format as "ufs", utilizing a
+#       separate process to avoid blocking the main Squid process on
+#       disk-I/O.
+#
+#       Usage:
+#               cache_dir diskd Directory-Name Mbytes L1 L2 [options] [Q1=n] [Q2=n]
+#
+#       see argument descriptions under ufs above
+#
+#       Q1 specifies the number of unacknowledged I/O requests when Squid
+#       stops opening new files. If this many messages are in the queues,
+#       Squid won't open new files. Default is 64
+#
+#       Q2 specifies the number of unacknowledged messages when Squid
+#       starts blocking.  If this many messages are in the queues,
+#       Squid blocks until it receives some replies. Default is 72
+#
+#       When Q1 < Q2 (the default), the cache directory is optimized
+#       for lower response time at the expense of a decrease in hit
+#       ratio.  If Q1 > Q2, the cache directory is optimized for
+#       higher hit ratio at the expense of an increase in response
+#       time.
+#
+#
+#       ====  The rock store type  ====
+#
+#       Usage:
+#           cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options]
+#
+#       The Rock Store type is a database-style storage. All cached
+#       entries are stored in a "database" file, using fixed-size slots.
+#       A single entry occupies one or more slots.
+#
+#       If possible, Squid using Rock Store creates a dedicated kid
+#       process called "disker" to avoid blocking Squid worker(s) on disk
+#       I/O. One disker kid is created for each rock cache_dir.  Diskers
+#       are created only when Squid, running in daemon mode, has support
+#       for the IpcIo disk I/O module.
+#
+#       swap-timeout=msec: Squid will not start writing a miss to or
+#       reading a hit from disk if it estimates that the swap operation
+#       will take more than the specified number of milliseconds. By
+#       default and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O time limit
+#       enforcement. Ignored when using blocking I/O module because
+#       blocking synchronous I/O does not allow Squid to estimate the
+#       expected swap wait time.
+#
+#       max-swap-rate=swaps/sec: Artificially limits disk access using
+#       the specified I/O rate limit. Swap out requests that
+#       would cause the average I/O rate to exceed the limit are
+#       delayed. Individual swap in requests (i.e., hits or reads) are
+#       not delayed, but they do contribute to measured swap rate and
+#       since they are placed in the same FIFO queue as swap out
+#       requests, they may wait longer if max-swap-rate is smaller.
+#       This is necessary on file systems that buffer "too
+#       many" writes and then start blocking Squid and other processes
+#       while committing those writes to disk.  Usually used together
+#       with swap-timeout to avoid excessive delays and queue overflows
+#       when disk demand exceeds available disk "bandwidth". By default
+#       and when set to zero, disables the disk I/O rate limit
+#       enforcement. Currently supported by IpcIo module only.
+#
+#       slot-size=bytes: The size of a database "record" used for
+#       storing cached responses. A cached response occupies at least
+#       one slot and all database I/O is done using individual slots so
+#       increasing this parameter leads to more disk space waste while
+#       decreasing it leads to more disk I/O overheads. Should be a
+#       multiple of your operating system I/O page size. Defaults to
+#       16KBytes. A housekeeping header is stored with each slot and
+#       smaller slot-sizes will be rejected. The header is smaller than
+#       100 bytes.
+#
+#
+#       ==== COMMON OPTIONS ====
+#
+#       no-store        no new objects should be stored to this cache_dir.
+#
+#       min-size=n      the minimum object size in bytes this cache_dir
+#                       will accept.  It's used to restrict a cache_dir
+#                       to only store large objects (e.g. AUFS) while
+#                       other stores are optimized for smaller objects
+#                       (e.g. Rock).
+#                       Defaults to 0.
+#
+#       max-size=n      the maximum object size in bytes this cache_dir
+#                       supports.
+#                       The value in maximum_object_size directive sets
+#                       the default unless more specific details are
+#                       available (ie a small store capacity).
+#
+#       Note: To make optimal use of the max-size limits you should order
+#       the cache_dir lines with the smallest max-size value first.
+#
+#Default:
+# No disk cache. Store cache ojects only in memory.
+#
+
+# Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.

+#       The disk with the least I/O pending is selected.
+#       When there are multiple disks with the same I/O load ranking
+#       the cache_dir with most available capacity is selected.
+#
+#       When a mix of cache_dir sizes are configured the faster disks
+#       have a naturally lower I/O loading and larger disks have more
+#       capacity. So space used to store objects and data throughput
+#       may be very unbalanced towards larger disks.
+#
+#
+#               round-robin
+#
+#       This algorithm is suited to caches with unequal cache_dir
+#       disk sizes.
+#
+#       Each cache_dir is selected in a rotation. The next suitable
+#       cache_dir is used.
+#
+#       Available cache_dir capacity is only considered in relation
+#       to whether the object will fit and meets the min-size and
+#       max-size parameters.
+#
+#       Disk I/O loading is only considered to prevent overload on slow
+#       disks. This algorithm does not spread objects by size, so any
+#       I/O loading per-disk may appear very unbalanced and volatile.
+#
+#       If several cache_dirs use similar min-size, max-size, or other
+#       limits to to reject certain responses, then do not group such
+#       cache_dir lines together, to avoid round-robin selection bias
+#       towards the first cache_dir after the group. Instead, interleave
+#       cache_dir lines from different groups. For example:

+#
+#               adapt::sum_trs Summed adaptation transaction response
+#                               times recorded as a comma-separated list in
+#                               the order of transaction start time. Each time
+#                               value is recorded as an integer number,
+#                               representing response time of one or more
+#                               adaptation (ICAP or eCAP) transaction in
+#                               milliseconds.  When a failed transaction is
+#                               being retried or repeated, its time is not
+#                               logged individually but added to the
+#                               replacement (next) transaction. See also:
+#                               adapt::all_trs.
+#
+#               adapt::all_trs All adaptation transaction response times.
+#                               Same as adaptation_strs but response times of
+#                               individual transactions are never added
+#                               together. Instead, all transaction response
+#                               times are recorded individually.
+#
+#       You can prefix adapt::*_trs format codes with adaptation
+#       service name in curly braces to record response time(s) specific
+#       to that service. For example: %{my_service}adapt::sum_trs
+#
+#       If SSL is enabled, the following formating codes become available:
+#
+#               %ssl::>cert_subject The Subject field of the received client
+#                               SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
+#                               received an invalid/malformed certificate or
+#                               no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
+#                               logged value because Subject often has spaces.
+#
+#               %ssl::>cert_issuer The Issuer field of the received client
+#                               SSL certificate or a dash ('-') if Squid has
+#                               received an invalid/malformed certificate or
+#                               no certificate at all. Consider encoding the
+#                               logged value because Issuer often has spaces.
+#
+#       The default formats available (which do not need re-defining) are:
+#
+#logformat squid      %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un %Sh/%<a %mt
+#logformat common     %>a %[ui %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st %Ss:%Sh
+#logformat combined   %>a %[ui %[un [%tl] "%rm %ru HTTP/%rv" %>Hs %<st "%{Referer}>h" "%{User-Agent}>h" %Ss:%Sh
+#logformat referrer   %ts.%03tu %>a %{Referer}>h %ru
+#logformat useragent  %>a [%tl] "%{User-Agent}>h"
+#
+#       NOTE: When the log_mime_hdrs directive is set to ON.
+#               The squid, common and combined formats have a safely encoded copy
+#               of the mime headers appended to each line within a pair of brackets.
+#
+#       NOTE: The common and combined formats are not quite true to the Apache definition.
+#               The logs from Squid contain an extra status and hierarchy code appended.
+#
+#Default:
+# The format definitions squid, common, combined, referrer, useragent are built in.
+
+#  TAG: access_log
+#       Configures whether and how Squid logs HTTP and ICP transactions.
+#       If access logging is enabled, a single line is logged for every
+#       matching HTTP or ICP request. The recommended directive formats are:
+#
+#       access_log <module>:<place> [option ...] [acl acl ...]
+#       access_log none [acl acl ...]
+#
+#       The following directive format is accepted but may be deprecated:
+#       access_log <module>:<place> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
+#
+#        In most cases, the first ACL name must not contain the '=' character
+#       and should not be equal to an existing logformat name. You can always
+#       start with an 'all' ACL to work around those restrictions.
+#
+#       Will log to the specified module:place using the specified format (which
+#       must be defined in a logformat directive) those entries which match
+#       ALL the acl's specified (which must be defined in acl clauses).
+#       If no acl is specified, all requests will be logged to this destination.
+#
+#       ===== Available options for the recommended directive format =====
+#
+#       logformat=name          Names log line format (either built-in or
+#                               defined by a logformat directive). Defaults
+#                               to 'squid'.
+#
+#       buffer-size=64KB        Defines approximate buffering limit for log
+#                               records (see buffered_logs).  Squid should not
+#                               keep more than the specified size and, hence,
+#                               should flush records before the buffer becomes
+#                               full to avoid overflows under normal
+#                               conditions (the exact flushing algorithm is
+#                               module-dependent though).  The on-error option
+#                               controls overflow handling.
+#
+#       on-error=die|drop       Defines action on unrecoverable errors. The
+#                               'drop' action ignores (i.e., does not log)
+#                               affected log records. The default 'die' action
+#                               kills the affected worker. The drop action
+#                               support has not been tested for modules other
+#                               than tcp.
+#
+#       ===== Modules Currently available =====

+#               Place: the filename and path to be written.
+#
+#       daemon  Very similar to stdio. But instead of writing to disk the log
+#               line is passed to a daemon helper for asychronous handling instead.
+#               Place: varies depending on the daemon.
+#
+#               log_file_daemon Place: the file name and path to be written.

+
+#  TAG: icap_log
+#       ICAP log files record ICAP transaction summaries, one line per
+#       transaction.
+#
+#       The icap_log option format is:
+#       icap_log <filepath> [<logformat name> [acl acl ...]]
+#       icap_log none [acl acl ...]]
+#
+#       Please see access_log option documentation for details. The two
+#       kinds of logs share the overall configuration approach and many
+#       features.
+#
+#       ICAP processing of a single HTTP message or transaction may
+#       require multiple ICAP transactions.  In such cases, multiple
+#       ICAP transaction log lines will correspond to a single access
+#       log line.
+#
+#       ICAP log supports many access.log logformat %codes. In ICAP context,
+#       HTTP message-related %codes are applied to the HTTP message embedded
+#       in an ICAP message. Logformat "%http::>..." codes are used for HTTP
+#       messages embedded in ICAP requests while "%http::<..." codes are used
+#       for HTTP messages embedded in ICAP responses. For example:
+#
+#               http::>h        To-be-adapted HTTP message headers sent by Squid to
+#                               the ICAP service. For REQMOD transactions, these are
+#                               HTTP request headers. For RESPMOD, these are HTTP
+#                               response headers, but Squid currently cannot log them
+#                               (i.e., %http::>h will expand to "-" for RESPMOD).
+#
+#               http::<h        Adapted HTTP message headers sent by the ICAP
+#                               service to Squid (i.e., HTTP request headers in regular
+#                               REQMOD; HTTP response headers in RESPMOD and during
+#                               request satisfaction in REQMOD).
+#
+#       ICAP OPTIONS transactions do not embed HTTP messages.
+#
+#       Several logformat codes below deal with ICAP message bodies. An ICAP
+#       message body, if any, typically includes a complete HTTP message
+#       (required HTTP headers plus optional HTTP message body). When
+#       computing HTTP message body size for these logformat codes, Squid
+#       either includes or excludes chunked encoding overheads; see
+#       code-specific documentation for details.
+#
+#       For Secure ICAP services, all size-related information is currently
+#       computed before/after TLS encryption/decryption, as if TLS was not
+#       in use at all.
+#
+#       The following format codes are also available for ICAP logs:
+#
+#               icap::<A        ICAP server IP address. Similar to <A.
+#
+#               icap::<service_name     ICAP service name from the icap_service
+#                               option in Squid configuration file.
+#
+#               icap::ru        ICAP Request-URI. Similar to ru.
+#
+#               icap::rm        ICAP request method (REQMOD, RESPMOD, or
+#                               OPTIONS). Similar to existing rm.
+#
+#               icap::>st       The total size of the ICAP request sent to the ICAP
+#                               server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including chunking
+#                               metadata (if any).
+#
+#               icap::<st       The total size of the ICAP response received from the
+#                               ICAP server (ICAP headers + ICAP body), including
+#                               chunking metadata (if any).
+#
+#               icap::<bs       The size of the ICAP response body received from the
+#                               ICAP server, excluding chunking metadata (if any).
+#
+#               icap::tr        Transaction response time (in
+#                               milliseconds).  The timer starts when
+#                               the ICAP transaction is created and
+#                               stops when the transaction is completed.
+#                               Similar to tr.
+#
+#               icap::tio       Transaction I/O time (in milliseconds). The
+#                               timer starts when the first ICAP request
+#                               byte is scheduled for sending. The timers
+#                               stops when the last byte of the ICAP response
+#                               is received.
+#
+#               icap::to        Transaction outcome: ICAP_ERR* for all
+#                               transaction errors, ICAP_OPT for OPTION
+#                               transactions, ICAP_ECHO for 204
+#                               responses, ICAP_MOD for message
+#                               modification, and ICAP_SAT for request
+#                               satisfaction. Similar to Ss.
+#
+#               icap::Hs        ICAP response status code. Similar to Hs.
+#
+#               icap::>h        ICAP request header(s). Similar to >h.
+#
+#               icap::<h        ICAP response header(s). Similar to <h.
+#
+#       The default ICAP log format, which can be used without an explicit

+
+#  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.
+#       There are not really utilities to analyze this data, so you can safely
+#       disable it (the default).
+#
+#       Store log uses modular logging outputs. See access_log for the list
+#       of modules supported.
+#
+#       Example:
+#               cache_store_log stdio:/var/log/squid/store.log
+#               cache_store_log daemon:/var/log/squid/store.log
+#Default:
+# none
+
+#  TAG: cache_swap_state
+#       Location for the cache "swap.state" file. This index file holds
+#       the metadata of objects saved on disk.  It is used to rebuild
+#       the cache during startup.  Normally this file resides in each
+#       '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 %s can be used in the file name it will be replaced with a
+#       a representation of the cache_dir name where each / is replaced
+#       with '.'. This is needed to allow adding/removing cache_dir
+#       lines when cache_swap_log is being used.
+#
+#       If have more than one 'cache_dir', and %s is not used in the name
+#       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, these index files will NOT correspond to
+#       the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename
+#       them).  We recommend you do NOT use this option.  It is
+#       better to keep these index files in each 'cache_dir' directory.
+#Default:
+# Store the journal inside its cache_dir
+
+#  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 file name 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>'.
+#
+#       Note, from Squid-3.1 this option is only a default for cache.log,
+#       that log can be rotated separately by using debug_options.
+#
+#       Note2, for Debian/Linux the default of logfile_rotate is

+#       the final recipient (e.g., a disk file or logging daemon) and,
+#       hence, increases the risk of log records loss.
+#
+#       Note that even when buffered_logs are off, Squid may have to buffer
+#       records if it cannot write/send them immediately due to pending I/Os

+#
+#       This is where general information about Squid behavior goes. You can

+
+#  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.
+#       The default is to run with "ALL,1" to record important warnings.
+#
+#       The rotate=N option can be used to keep more or less of these logs
+#       than would otherwise be kept by logfile_rotate.
+#       For most uses a single log should be enough to monitor current
+#       events affecting Squid.

+# Log all critical and important messages.
+
+#  TAG: coredump_dir
+#       By default Squid leaves core files in the directory from where

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

+#       In theory, all of the logformat codes can be used as %macros.

+#       request and, if it happens to be cachable, use that response.
+#       Here, "concurrent requests" means "received after the first
+#       request headers were parsed and before the corresponding response
+#       headers were parsed".
+#
+#       This feature is disabled by default: enabling collapsed

+#       content. However, in some cases, such as acceleration of highly
+#       cachable content with periodic or grouped expiration times, the
+#       gains from collapsing [large volumes of simultaneous refresh
+#       requests] outweigh losses from such delays.
+#
+#       Squid collapses two kinds of requests: regular client requests
+#       received on one of the listening ports and internal "cache
+#       revalidation" requests which are triggered by those regular
+#       requests hitting a stale cached object. Revalidation collapsing

+# DELAY POOL PARAMETERS
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  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.
+#
+#       See also delay_parameters, delay_class, delay_access for pool
+#       configuration details.
+#Default:
+# 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:
+#
+#       Example:
+#           delay_pools 4      # 4 delay pools
+#           delay_class 1 2    # pool 1 is a class 2 pool
+#           delay_class 2 3    # pool 2 is a class 3 pool
+#           delay_class 3 4    # pool 3 is a class 4 pool
+#           delay_class 4 5    # pool 4 is a class 5 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 IPv4 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 IPv4 address.
+#
+#               class 4         Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an
+#                               additional limit on a per user basis. This
+#                               only takes effect if the username is established
+#                               in advance - by forcing authentication in your
+#                               http_access rules.
+#
+#               class 5         Requests are grouped according their tag (see
+#                               external_acl's tag= reply).
+#
+#
+#       Each pool also requires a delay_parameters directive to configure the pool size
+#       and speed limits used whenever the pool is applied to a request. Along with
+#       a set of delay_access directives to determine when it is used.
+#
+#       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"
+#
+#       NOTE-2: Due to the use of bitmasks in class 2,3,4 pools they only apply to
+#               IPv4 traffic. Class 1 and 5 pools may be used with IPv6 traffic.

+
+#  TAG: delay_access
+#       This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into.
+#
+#       delay_access is sorted per pool and the matching starts with pool 1,
+#       then pool 2, ..., and finally pool N. The first delay pool where the
+#       request is allowed is selected for the request. If it does not allow
+#       the request to any pool then the request is not delayed (default).
+#
+#       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

+#
+#Default:
+# Deny using the pool, unless allow rules exist in squid.conf for the pool.
+
+#  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_class pool 1
+#               delay_parameters pool aggregate
+#
+#       For a class 2 delay pool:
+#               delay_class pool 2
+#               delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
+#
+#       For a class 3 delay pool:
+#               delay_class pool 3
+#               delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
+#
+#       For a class 4 delay pool:
+#               delay_class pool 4
+#               delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
+#
+#       For a class 5 delay pool:
+#               delay_class pool 5
+#               delay_parameters pool tagrate
+#
+#       The option variables 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 speed limit parameters for the aggregate bucket
+#                               (class 1, 2, 3).
+#
+#               individual      the speed limit parameters for the individual
+#                               buckets (class 2, 3).
+#
+#               network         the speed limit parameters for the network buckets
+#                               (class 3).
+#
+#               user            the speed limit parameters for the user buckets
+#                               (class 4).
+#
+#               tagrate         the speed limit parameters for the tag buckets
+#                               (class 5).
+#
+#       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.
+#
+#       There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool.
+#
+#
+#       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 64Kbit/sec
+#       (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is:
+#
+#               delay_parameters 1 none 8000/8000
+#
+#       Note that 8 x 8K Byte/sec -> 64K bit/sec.
+#
+#       Note that the word 'none' is used to represent no limit.
+#
+#
+#       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 256Kbit/sec (strict limit)
+#       with each 8-bit network permitted 64Kbit/sec (strict limit) and each
+#       individual host permitted 4800bit/sec with a bucket maximum size of 64Kbits
+#       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 600/8000
+#
+#       Note that 8 x  32K Byte/sec ->  256K bit/sec.
+#                 8 x   8K Byte/sec ->   64K bit/sec.
+#                 8 x 600  Byte/sec -> 4800  bit/sec.
+#
+#
+#       Finally, for a class 4 delay pool as in the example - each user will
+#       be limited to 128Kbits/sec no matter how many workstations they are logged into.:
+#
+#               delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000

+
+#  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

+
+# CLIENT DELAY POOL PARAMETERS
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  TAG: client_delay_pools
+#       This option specifies the number of client delay pools used. It must

+#       Example:
+#               client_delay_pools 2
+#
+#       See also client_delay_parameters and client_delay_access.
+#Default:
+# client_delay_pools 0
+
+#  TAG: client_delay_initial_bucket_level       (percent, 0-no_limit)
+#       This option determines the initial bucket size as a percentage of
+#       max_bucket_size from client_delay_parameters. Buckets are created
+#       at the time of the "first" connection from the matching IP. Idle
+#       buckets are periodically deleted up.
+#
+#       You can specify more than 100 percent but note that such "oversized"
+#       buckets are not refilled until their size goes down to max_bucket_size
+#       from client_delay_parameters.
+#
+#       Example:

+#
+#           client_delay_parameters pool speed_limit max_bucket_size
+#
+#       pool is an integer ID used for client_delay_access matching.
+#
+#       speed_limit is bytes added to the bucket per second.
+#
+#       max_bucket_size is the maximum size of a bucket, enforced after any
+#       speed_limit additions.
+#
+#       Please see the delay_parameters option for more information and
+#       examples.
+#

+#
+#       See also client_delay_access.
+#
+#Default:

+#           client_delay_access pool_ID allow|deny acl_name
+#
+#       All client_delay_access options are checked in their pool ID

+#       are no client_delay_access options, the request bandwidth is not
+#       limited.
+#
+#       The ACL-selected pool is then used to find the

+#       for that ACL Squid returns a corresponding error page.
+#
+#       The acl is typically the last acl on the http_access deny line which
+#       denied access. The exceptions to this rule are:
+#       - When Squid needs to request authentication credentials. It's then
+#         the first authentication related acl encountered
+#       - When none of the http_access lines matches. It's then the last
+#         acl processed on the last http_access line.

+#
+#       Alternatively you can tell Squid to reset the TCP connection

+# OPTIONS INFLUENCING REQUEST FORWARDING
+# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#  TAG: nonhierarchical_direct
+#       By default, Squid will send any non-hierarchical requests
+#       (not cacheable request type) direct to origin servers.
+#
+#       When this is set to "off", Squid will prefer to send these
+#       requests to parents.
+#
+#       Note that in most configurations, by turning this off you will only
+#       add latency to these request without any improvement in global hit
+#       ratio.
+#
+#       This option only sets a preference. If the parent is unavailable a
+#       direct connection to the origin server may still be attempted. To
+#       completely prevent direct connections use never_direct.
+#Default:
+# nonhierarchical_direct on
+
+#  TAG: prefer_direct
+#       Normally Squid tries to use parents for most requests. If you for some
+#       reason like it to first try going direct and only use a parent if
+#       going direct fails set this to on.
+#
+#       By combining nonhierarchical_direct off and prefer_direct on you
+#       can set up Squid to use a parent as a backup path if going direct
+#       fails.
+#
+#       Note: If you want Squid to use parents for all requests see
+#       the never_direct directive. prefer_direct only modifies how Squid
+#       acts on cacheable requests.
+#Default:
+# prefer_direct off
+
+#  TAG: cache_miss_revalidate   on|off
+#       RFC 7232 defines a conditional request mechanism to prevent
+#       response objects being unnecessarily transferred over the network.
+#       If that mechanism is used by the client and a cache MISS occurs
+#       it can prevent new cache entries being created.
+#
+#       This option determines whether Squid on cache MISS will pass the
+#       client revalidation request to the server or tries to fetch new
+#       content for caching. It can be useful while the cache is mostly
+#       empty to more quickly have the cache populated by generating
+#       non-conditional GETs.
+#
+#       When set to 'on' (default), Squid will pass all client If-* headers
+#       to the server. This permits server responses without a cacheable
+#       payload to be delivered and on MISS no new cache entry is created.
+#
+#       When set to 'off' and if the request is cacheable, Squid will
+#       remove the clients If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers from
+#       the request sent to the server. This requests a 200 status response
+#       from the server to create a new cache entry with.
+#Default:
+# cache_miss_revalidate on
+
+#  TAG: always_direct
+#       Usage: always_direct allow|deny [!]aclname ...
+#
+#       Here you can use ACL elements to specify requests which should
+#       ALWAYS be forwarded by Squid to the origin servers without using
+#       any peers.  For example, to always directly forward requests for
+#       local servers ignoring any parents or siblings you may have 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
+#
+#       NOTE: If your goal is to make the client forward the request
+#       directly to the origin server bypassing Squid then this needs
+#       to be done in the client configuration. Squid configuration
+#       can only tell Squid how Squid should fetch the object.
+#
+#       NOTE: This directive is not related to caching. The replies
+#       is cached as usual even if you use always_direct. To not cache
+#       the replies see the 'cache' directive.
+#
+#       This clause supports both fast and slow acl types.
+#       See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details.
+#Default:
+# Prevent any cache_peer being used for this request.
+
+#  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
+#               never_direct deny local-servers
+#               never_direct allow all
+#
+#       or if Squid is inside a firewall and there are local intranet
+#       servers inside the firewall 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 clause supports both fast and slow acl types.
+#       See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl for details.
+#Default:
+# Allow DNS results to be used for this request.

+#
+#       The 'httpready' filter delays delivering new connections

+#
+#       Note that this is a global limit. It affects all HTTP, HTCP, Gopher and FTP

+#Default:
+# icap_enable off
+
+#  TAG: icap_connect_timeout
+#       This parameter specifies how long to wait for the TCP connect to
+#       the requested ICAP server to complete before giving up and either
+#       terminating the HTTP transaction or bypassing the failure.
+#
+#       The default for optional services is peer_connect_timeout.
+#       The default for essential services is connect_timeout.
+#       If this option is explicitly set, its value applies to all services.
+#Default:
+# none
+
+#  TAG: icap_io_timeout time-units
+#       This parameter specifies how long to wait for an I/O activity on
+#       an established, active ICAP connection before giving up and
+#       either terminating the HTTP transaction or bypassing the
+#       failure.
+#Default:
+# Use read_timeout.
+
+#  TAG: icap_service_failure_limit      limit [in memory-depth time-units]
+#       The limit specifies the number of failures that Squid tolerates
+#       when establishing a new TCP connection with an ICAP service. If
+#       the number of failures exceeds the limit, the ICAP service is
+#       not used for new ICAP requests until it is time to refresh its
+#       OPTIONS.
+#
+#       A negative value disables the limit. Without the limit, an ICAP
+#       service will not be considered down due to connectivity failures
+#       between ICAP OPTIONS requests.
+#
+#       Squid forgets ICAP service failures older than the specified
+#       value of memory-depth. The memory fading algorithm
+#       is approximate because Squid does not remember individual
+#       errors but groups them instead, splitting the option
+#       value into ten time slots of equal length.
+#
+#       When memory-depth is 0 and by default this option has no
+#       effect on service failure expiration.
+#
+#       Squid always forgets failures when updating service settings
+#       using an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, regardless of this option
+#       setting.
+#
+#       For example,
+#               # suspend service usage after 10 failures in 5 seconds:
+#               icap_service_failure_limit 10 in 5 seconds
+#Default:

+
+#  TAG: icap_service_revival_delay
+#       The delay specifies the number of seconds to wait after an ICAP
+#       OPTIONS request failure before requesting the options again. The
+#       failed ICAP service is considered "down" until fresh OPTIONS are
+#       fetched.
+#
+#       The actual delay cannot be smaller than the hardcoded minimum
+#       delay of 30 seconds.
+#Default:
+# icap_service_revival_delay 180
+
+#  TAG: icap_preview_enable     on|off
+#       The ICAP Preview feature allows the ICAP server to handle the
+#       HTTP message by looking only at the beginning of the message body
+#       or even without receiving the body at all. In some environments,
+#       previews greatly speedup ICAP processing.
+#
+#       During an ICAP OPTIONS transaction, the server may tell Squid what
+#       HTTP messages should be previewed and how big the preview should be.
+#       Squid will not use Preview if the server did not request one.
+#
+#       To disable ICAP Preview for all ICAP services, regardless of
+#       individual ICAP server OPTIONS responses, set this option to "off".
+#Example:
+#icap_preview_enable off
+#Default:
+# icap_preview_enable on
+
+#  TAG: icap_preview_size
+#       The default size of preview data to be sent to the ICAP server.
+#       This value might be overwritten on a per server basis by OPTIONS requests.
+#Default:

+
+#  TAG: icap_206_enable on|off
+#       206 (Partial Content) responses is an ICAP extension that allows the
+#       ICAP agents to optionally combine adapted and original HTTP message
+#       content. The decision to combine is postponed until the end of the
+#       ICAP response. Squid supports Partial Content extension by default.
+#
+#       Activation of the Partial Content extension is negotiated with each
+#       ICAP service during OPTIONS exchange. Most ICAP servers should handle
+#       negotation correctly even if they do not support the extension, but
+#       some might fail. To disable Partial Content support for all ICAP
+#       services and to avoid any negotiation, set this option to "off".

+#               services in squid.conf.
+#
+#       vectoring_point: reqmod_precache|reqmod_postcache|respmod_precache|respmod_postcache
+#               This specifies at which point of transaction processing the
+#               ICAP service should be activated. *_postcache vectoring points
+#               are not yet supported.
+#
+#       uri: icap://servername:port/servicepath
+#               ICAP server and service location.
+#
+#       ICAP does not allow a single service to handle both REQMOD and RESPMOD
+#       transactions. Squid does not enforce that requirement. You can specify
+#       services with the same service_url and different vectoring_points. You
+#       can even specify multiple identical services as long as their
+#       service_names differ.
+#
+#       To activate a service, use the adaptation_access directive. To group
+#       services, use adaptation_service_chain and adaptation_service_set.
+#
+#       Service options are separated by white space. ICAP services support
+#       the following name=value options:
+#
+#       bypass=on|off|1|0
+#               If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is treated as
+#               optional. If the service cannot be reached or malfunctions,
+#               Squid will try to ignore any errors and process the message as
+#               if the service was not enabled. No all ICAP errors can be
+#               bypassed.  If set to 0, the ICAP service is treated as
+#               essential and all ICAP errors will result in an error page
+#               returned to the HTTP client.
+#
+#               Bypass is off by default: services are treated as essential.
+#
+#       routing=on|off|1|0
+#               If set to 'on' or '1', the ICAP service is allowed to
+#               dynamically change the current message adaptation plan by
+#               returning a chain of services to be used next. The services
+#               are specified using the X-Next-Services ICAP response header
+#               value, formatted as a comma-separated list of service names.
+#               Each named service should be configured in squid.conf. Other
+#               services are ignored. An empty X-Next-Services value results
+#               in an empty plan which ends the current adaptation.
+#
+#               Dynamic adaptation plan may cross or cover multiple supported
+#               vectoring points in their natural processing order.
+#
+#               Routing is not allowed by default: the ICAP X-Next-Services
+#               response header is ignored.
+#
+#       ipv6=on|off
+#               Only has effect on split-stack systems. The default on those systems
+#               is to use IPv4-only connections. When set to 'on' this option will
+#               make Squid use IPv6-only connections to contact this ICAP service.
+#
+#       on-overload=block|bypass|wait|force
+#               If the service Max-Connections limit has been reached, do
+#               one of the following for each new ICAP transaction:
+#                 * block:  send an HTTP error response to the client
+#                 * bypass: ignore the "over-connected" ICAP service
+#                 * wait:   wait (in a FIFO queue) for an ICAP connection slot
+#                 * force:  proceed, ignoring the Max-Connections limit
+#
+#               In SMP mode with N workers, each worker assumes the service
+#               connection limit is Max-Connections/N, even though not all
+#               workers may use a given service.
+#
+#               The default value is "bypass" if service is bypassable,
+#               otherwise it is set to "wait".
+#
+#
+#       max-conn=number
+#               Use the given number as the Max-Connections limit, regardless

+#
+#       The named services are used in the set declaration order. The first
+#       applicable adaptation service from the set is used first. The next
+#       applicable service is tried if and only if the transaction with the
+#       previous service fails and the message waiting to be adapted is still
+#       intact.
+#
+#       When adaptation starts, broken services are ignored as if they were
+#       not a part of the set. A broken service is a down optional service.
+#
+#       The services in a set must be attached to the same vectoring point
+#       (e.g., pre-cache) and use the same adaptation method (e.g., REQMOD).
+#
+#       If all services in a set are optional then adaptation failures are
+#       bypassable. If all services in the set are essential, then a
+#       transaction failure with one service may still be retried using
+#       another service from the set, but when all services fail, the master
+#       transaction fails as well.
+#
+#       A set may contain a mix of optional and essential services, but that
+#       is likely to lead to surprising results because broken services become
+#       ignored (see above), making previously bypassable failures fatal.
+#       Technically, it is the bypassability of the last failed service that

+#
+#       A chain may contain a mix of optional and essential services. If an
+#       essential adaptation fails (or the failure cannot be bypassed for

+#  TAG: adaptation_masterx_shared_names
+#       For each master transaction (i.e., the HTTP request and response
+#       sequence, including all related ICAP and eCAP exchanges), Squid
+#       maintains a table of metadata. The table entries are (name, value)
+#       pairs shared among eCAP and ICAP exchanges. The table is destroyed
+#       with the master transaction.
+#
+#       This option specifies the table entry names that Squid must accept
+#       from and forward to the adaptation transactions.
+#
+#       An ICAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
+#       shared table by returning an ICAP header field with a name
+#       specified in adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
+#
+#       An eCAP REQMOD or RESPMOD transaction may set an entry in the
+#       shared table by implementing the libecap::visitEachOption() API
+#       to provide an option with a name specified in
+#       adaptation_masterx_shared_names.
+#
+#       Squid will store and forward the set entry to subsequent adaptation
+#       transactions within the same master transaction scope.
+#
+#       Only one shared entry name is supported at this time.

+
+#  TAG: adaptation_meta
+#       This option allows Squid administrator to add custom ICAP request
+#       headers or eCAP options to Squid ICAP requests or eCAP transactions.
+#       Use it to pass custom authentication tokens and other
+#       transaction-state related meta information to an ICAP/eCAP service.
+#
+#       The addition of a meta header is ACL-driven:
+#               adaptation_meta name value [!]aclname ...
+#
+#       Processing for a given header name stops after the first ACL list match.
+#       Thus, it is impossible to add two headers with the same name. If no ACL
+#       lists match for a given header name, no such header is added. For
+#       example:
+#
+#               # do not debug transactions except for those that need debugging
+#               adaptation_meta X-Debug 1 needs_debugging

+#               adaptation_meta X-Authenticated-Groups "G 1" authed_as_G1
+#
+#       The "value" parameter may be a regular squid.conf token or a "double
+#       quoted string". Within the quoted string, use backslash (\) to escape

+#
+#       Used adaptation_meta header values may be logged via %note
+#       logformat code. If multiple adaptation_meta headers with the same name

+#
+#       For legacy reasons DNS UDP replies will default to 512 bytes which
+#       is too small for many responses. EDNS provides a means for Squid to
+#       negotiate receiving larger responses back immediately without having
+#       to failover with repeat requests. Responses larger than this limit
+#       will retain the old behaviour of failover to TCP DNS.
+#
+#       Squid has no real fixed limit internally, but allowing packet sizes

+#
+#       An overhead for maintaining memory pools is not taken into account
+#       when the limit is checked. This overhead is close to four bytes per

+#  TAG: forwarded_for   on|off|transparent|truncate|delete
+#       If set to "on", Squid will append your client's IP address
+#       in the HTTP requests it forwards. By default it looks like:
+#
+#               X-Forwarded-For: 192.1.2.3
+#
+#       If set to "off", it will appear as
+#
+#               X-Forwarded-For: unknown
+#
+#       If set to "transparent", Squid will not alter the
+#       X-Forwarded-For header in any way.
+#
+#       If set to "delete", Squid will delete the entire
+#       X-Forwarded-For header.
+#
+#       If set to "truncate", Squid will remove all existing
+#       X-Forwarded-For entries, and place the client IP as the sole entry.

+#  TAG: refresh_all_ims on|off
+#       When you enable this option, squid will always check
+#       the origin server for an update when a client sends an
+#       If-Modified-Since request.  Many browsers use IMS
+#       requests when the user requests a reload, and this
+#       ensures those clients receive the latest version.
+#
+#       By default (off), squid may return a Not Modified response
+#       based on the age of the cached version.
+#Default:
+# refresh_all_ims off
+
+#  TAG: reload_into_ims on|off
+#       When you enable this option, client no-cache or ``reload''
+#       requests will be changed to If-Modified-Since requests.
+#       Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard.  Enabling this
+#       feature could make you liable for problems which it
+#       causes.
+#
+#       see also refresh_pattern for a more selective approach.
+#Default:
+# reload_into_ims off
+
+#  TAG: connect_retries
+#       This sets the maximum number of connection attempts made for each
+#       TCP connection. The connect_retries attempts must all still
+#       complete within the connection timeout period.
+#
+#       The default is not to re-try if the first connection attempt fails.
+#       The (not recommended) maximum is 10 tries.
+#
+#       A warning message will be generated if it is set to a too-high
+#       value and the configured value will be over-ridden.
+#
+#       Note: These re-tries are in addition to forward_max_tries
+#       which limit how many different addresses may be tried to find
+#       a useful server.
+#Default:
+# Do not retry failed connections.
+
+#  TAG: retry_on_error
+#       If set to ON Squid will automatically retry requests when
+#       receiving an error response with status 403 (Forbidden),
+#       500 (Internal Error), 501 or 503 (Service not available).
+#       Status 502 and 504 (Gateway errors) are always retried.
+#
+#       This is mainly useful if you are in a complex cache hierarchy to
+#       work around access control errors.
+#
+#       NOTE: This retry will attempt to find another working destination.
+#       Which is different from the server which just failed.
+#Default:
+# retry_on_error off
+
+#  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.
+#Default:
+# as_whois_server whois.ra.net
+
+#  TAG: offline_mode
+#       Enable this option and Squid will never try to validate cached
+#       objects.
+#Default:
+# offline_mode off
+
+#  TAG: uri_whitespace
+#       What to do with requests that have whitespace characters in the
+#       URI.  Options:
+#
+#       strip:  The whitespace characters are stripped out of the URL.
+#               This is the behavior recommended by RFC2396 and RFC3986
+#               for tolerant handling of generic URI.
+#               NOTE: This is one difference between generic URI and HTTP URLs.
+#
+#       deny:   The request is denied.  The user receives an "Invalid
+#               Request" message.
+#               This is the behaviour recommended by RFC2616 for safe
+#               handling of HTTP request URL.
+#
+#       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.
+#               Note this may be considered a violation of RFC2616
+#               request parsing where whitespace is prohibited in the
+#               URL field.
+#
+#       encode: The request is allowed and the whitespace characters are
+#               encoded according to RFC1738.
+#
+#       chop:   The request is allowed and the URI is chopped at the
+#               first whitespace.
+#
+#
+#       NOTE the current Squid implementation of encode and chop violates
+#       RFC2616 by not using a 301 redirect after altering the URL.
+#Default:
+# uri_whitespace strip
+
+#  TAG: chroot
+#       Specifies a directory where Squid should do a chroot() while
+#       initializing.  This also causes Squid to fully drop root
+#       privileges after initializing.  This means, for example, if you
+#       use a HTTP port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you may
+#       get an error saying that Squid can not open the port.
+#Default:
+# none
+
+#  TAG: balance_on_multiple_ip
+#       Modern IP resolvers in squid sort lookup results by preferred access.
+#       By default squid will use these IP in order and only rotates to
+#       the next listed when the most preffered fails.
+#
+#       Some load balancing servers based on round robin DNS have been
+#       found not to preserve user session state across requests
+#       to different IP addresses.
+#
+#       Enabling this directive Squid rotates IP's per request.
+#Default:
+# balance_on_multiple_ip off
+
+#  TAG: pipeline_prefetch
+#       HTTP clients may send a pipeline of 1+N requests to Squid using a
+#       single connection, without waiting for Squid to respond to the first
+#       of those requests. This option limits the number of concurrent
+#       requests Squid will try to handle in parallel. If set to N, Squid
+#       will try to receive and process up to 1+N requests on the same
+#       connection concurrently.
+#
+#       Defaults to 0 (off) for bandwidth management and access logging
+#       reasons.
+#
+#       NOTE: pipelining requires persistent connections to clients.
+#
+#       WARNING: pipelining breaks NTLM and Negotiate/Kerberos authentication.
+#Default:
+# Do not pre-parse pipelined requests.
+
+#  TAG: high_response_time_warning      (msec)
+#       If the one-minute median response time exceeds this value,
+#       Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get the
+#       administrators attention.  The value is in milliseconds.
+#Default:
+# disabled.
+
+#  TAG: high_page_fault_warning
+#       If the one-minute average page fault rate exceeds this
+#       value, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
+#       the administrators attention.  The value is in page faults
+#       per second.
+#Default:
+# disabled.
+
+#  TAG: high_memory_warning
+# Note: This option is only available if Squid is rebuilt with the
+#       GNU Malloc with mstats()
+#
+#       If the memory usage (as determined by gnumalloc, if available and used)
+#       exceeds this amount, Squid prints a WARNING with debug level 0 to get
+#       the administrators attention.
+#Default:
+# disabled.
+
+#  TAG: sleep_after_fork        (microseconds)
+#       When this is set to a non-zero value, the main Squid process
+#       sleeps the specified number of microseconds after a fork()
+#       system call. This sleep may help the situation where your
+#       system reports fork() failures due to lack of (virtual)
+#       memory. Note, however, if you have a lot of child
+#       processes, these sleep delays will add up and your
+#       Squid will not service requests for some amount of time
+#       until all the child processes have been started.
+#       On Windows value less then 1000 (1 milliseconds) are
+#       rounded to 1000.
+#Default:
+# sleep_after_fork 0
+
+#  TAG: windows_ipaddrchangemonitor     on|off
+# Note: This option is only available if Squid is rebuilt with the
+#       MS Windows
+#
+#       On Windows Squid by default will monitor IP address changes and will
+#       reconfigure itself after any detected event. This is very useful for
+#       proxies connected to internet with dial-up interfaces.
+#       In some cases (a Proxy server acting as VPN gateway is one) it could be
+#       desiderable to disable this behaviour setting this to 'off'.
+#       Note: after changing this, Squid service must be restarted.
+#Default:
+# windows_ipaddrchangemonitor on
+
+#  TAG: eui_lookup
+#       Whether to lookup the EUI or MAC address of a connected client.
+#Default:
+# eui_lookup on
+
+#  TAG: max_filedescriptors
+#       Reduce the maximum number of filedescriptors supported below
+#       the usual operating system defaults.
+#
+#       Remove from squid.conf to inherit the current ulimit setting.
+#
+#       Note: Changing this requires a restart of Squid. Also
+#       not all I/O types supports large values (eg on Windows).
+#Default:
+# Use operating system limits set by ulimit.
