[squid-users] GURU opinion required.

2009-04-27 Thread goody goody

after going thru different articles and analyzing the behavior of squid 2.5 
stable10 transparent proxy over freebsd machine, it is not possible that https 
requests are entertained in other words it simply means proxying will not be 
done for https traffic.

now let's dvlvle in details.

in case of transparent squid proxy whenever https traffic is passed through the 
proxy, proxy does not adds it's ip addres rather it forwards the packets with 
original client ip address located on internal network. the packets then 
finally are natted at the firewall with the public ip address, and operation 
successfully completes.

but in my case my network colleagues who are managing firewall device have 
blocked any traffic originating from internal network and have only allowed 
proxy address hence any https traffic is blocked becoz they have the source 
address as internal address not of the proxy.

as it should be, any traffic that leaves the proxy with the modified source 
address as of proxy address , successfully completes the request.

hence http traffic and https traffic with manual/force proxy works but 
transparent proxy with https traffic doesn't work. 

if i am wrong or there is any work around would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [squid-users] Transparent proxy with HTTPS on freebsd

2009-04-29 Thread goody goody

Dear Amos,

i say http works but https doesn't behind transparent proxy (no proxy details 
specified in browser) and this is simply I just want to achieve as some sites 
such as yahoo, gmail use https to connect to.

so if you guide my how can i configure squid to allow https sites to connect 
behind transparent proxy.

Further info regarding squid and bsd os is as follows.

squid version info

Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE10
configure options:  --enable-storeio=diskd,ufs --enable-snmp 
--with-openssl=/opt/ssl '--enable-auth=basic ntlm' --enable-wccp 
'--enable-removal-policies=heap lru'

BSD OS Info

FreeBSD XXX 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Fri Mar 30 18:16:33 PKT 2007
 r...@xxx.abc.com.:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/BSD-ROUTER  i386

an early response would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

2009-05-13 Thread goody goody

Hi There.

gives me the subject error. after studying the error on net i found suggestions 
to add followings in squid.conf, but it didn't helped me out even.

request_header_max_size 10 KB
request_body_max_size 1 MB
reply_header_max_size 40 KB
reply_body_max_size 0

BTW I am using ipfw as local firewall.

pls guide me how i can tackle this situation.

with thanks and regards,

2009-05-13 Thread goody goody

in continuation with my previous email, pls note that before setting 
transparent proxy, squid was behaving perfectly fine. however when i turn on 
natd and ipfw with http_port IP:3128 it started this problem.

important thing is that subject problem occurs while normal sites i-e yahhooo 
google etc, i m not download any larger files.

if you people need more info, pls let me know.

Thanks and regards,

[squid-users] squid 3.0 stable 14 terminates abnormally

2009-06-13 Thread goody goody

subject squid version running on freebsd 7 dies  and following messages is 
displayed.

assertion failed: HttpHeader.cc:1196: "Headers[id].type == ftInt64"


after search mailing list i found Amos's answer to wong asking to upgrade to 15 
or changes in src/HttpHeader.cc.

Trying Method-1 Apply latest patch.

now i have download the squid-3.0.STABLE15.patch and changed the pwd to the 
source files from where i had previously installed the stable 14 version, but 
when i apply this patch using command patch < /path/squid-3.0.STABLE15.patch, 
it successfully hunks some files and then stops and says "Hmm...  The next 
patch looks like a unified diff to me...".

So can any body tell me what should i do to continue

On Trying Method-2 changes in src/HttpHeader.cc.

after changing the said line i-e 

{"Max-Forwards", HDR_MAX_FORWARDS, ftInt}, 
to become
{"Max-Forwards", HDR_MAX_FORWARDS, ftInt64},

i don't what to do further to tell squid adapt changes. should i run "make 
clean && make && make install" and it would be done!!!.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [squid-users] squid becomes very slow during peak hours

2009-07-01 Thread goody goody

Thanks for replies,

1. i have tried squid 3.0 stable 14 for few weeks but the problems were there 
and performance issues was also severe. as we had previously 2.5 stable 10 
running that's why i reverted to it temporarily. further i have squid 3.0/14 in 
place as i have install 2.5 in separate directry and i can squid 3.0/14 run it 
anytime. i will also welcome if you tell me the most stable version of squid. 

2. secondly we are using RAID 5 and have very powerfull machine at present as 
compared to previous one, and previous was working good with the same amount of 
traffic and less powerfull system.

3. thirdly i have gigabit network card but yes i have 100 mb ethernet channel, 
but as defined in step 2 same link was working superb in previous setup.

4. i could not get chris robertson question regarding processors, i have two 
dual core xeon processors(3.2 ghz) and i captured stats at peak hours when 
performance was degraded.


So what should i do???

I figured out this it was actually a OS firewall rule which was causing problem.

Transparent or interception?

Interception, yes. Just point the clients to it. Transparent, not sure.

Okay Thanks i figured it out.

Solution is to an additional line in the squid.conf like below.

Ok, in Squid's usual terms, that's interception.

[squid-users] Yahoo mail Display problem

2010-04-14 Thread goody goody
Hi,

I am running squid 2.5 on 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, since the number of 
years and was working very fine.

Few days back i replaced my old windows 2003 DNS server and installed new 
server with windows server 2008 OS and configured DNS on it with the same IP 
address, since then i started to receive problem.

"Unable to determine IP address from host name xxx" 

DNS server returned 

"No Address Records"

This means 

Cache was unable to resolve host name present in the url
check if the address is correct.


Following the error I revisited the DNS configuration and found fine. after 
then i flushed the cache and recreated it using squid -z, assuming that it may 
help me out, but it didn't as after flushing the cache yahoo mail page started 
to appear scattered in the explorer. 

So can you please let me know why squid is behaving like this and how can i fix 
these issues?

An early solution would be very helpful.

Thanks and regards,
.Goody.

Hi Goody.
  2.5 is a really OLD version of Squid (as in: YEARS old). The most
up-to-date versions are 2.7 and 3.1.1 and they contain uncountable
improvements and fixes;using those versions you're most likely to get
help. If you can consider upgrading, please do so.

Thanks for your help Amos,

Actually the reason behind 
the question was my previous experience of 3.0.4 version, which i installed but 
after 
then it was shutting down after running for some time, and if there is not such 
a serious problem with 3.1.1 i would definitely love to install the latest 
to get benefit from new features.

Both the same by that measure. 126 bugs and enhancement requests each.

2.7 being the oldest version still supported. We do recommend trying 3.1 first.

Coming from 2.5 you will not already be using any of the features that have 
locked people into 2.7 use.

Be careful of the configuration file though, since there are now two full 
versions worth of changes you have to leap over. If you need any help with the 
conversion the release notes and we are here.

  Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.1

the question was my previous experience of 3.0.4 version, which i installed but 
after 
then it was shutting down after running for some time, and if there is not such 
a serious problem with 3.1.1 i would definitely love to install the latest 
to get benefit from new features.


Best Regards,

Both the same by that measure. 126 bugs and enhancement requests each.

2.7 being the oldest version still supported. We do recommend trying 3.1 first.

Coming from 2.5 you will not already be using any of the features that have 
locked people into 2.7 use.

Be careful of the configuration file though, since there are now two full 
versions worth of changes you have to leap over. If you need any help with the 
conversion the release notes and we are here.

  Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE9 or 3.1.1

[squid-users] block usres who create their own proxy behind main proxy

2010-07-25 Thread goody goody
Hi,


In our organization we have restricted access to only limited IPs as per 
company 
policy, but what some users are doing that they are building their own proxy 
servers on any single allowed IP addresses and distribute access to their 
locally formed group.

In this way our main proxy thinks that it is allowing access to only one IP 
whereas in real it is not the case.

This has become a challenge and if there is any solution / work around to this 
please let me know.

I am using squid 2.7 stable 6 on freebsd 7 release # 6

An early response is much appreciated.

Regards,
.Goody.

Re: [squid-users] how to allow ftp connection through squid proxy

2009-03-18 Thread goody goody

i have inserted the ftp_access allow all command but squid says on parsing

cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:73 unrecognized: 'ftp_access'

???
I have also tried to lookup that command on my squid books, but no clue.

Thanks,
