  page has been requested several times I'm sure!. Isn't it supposed to
  get it from it's local cache?.

 It's fetching all cachable misses from the parent (which is the intent).
 It isn't caching them for some other reason.  You may want to strip the
 comments out of your squid.conf and post it.

Please find attached my squid.conf file.

  Moreover, in squid.conf, I have configured the following (as
  requested in the documentation):
  cache_effective_user squid
  cache_effective_group squid

 It launches as root and switches over to these.  There are plenty of
 ways to see what the user id is.  A 'ps au' should show you the user
 for each process.  Just look for squid.  If it uses a decent amount of
 CPU, it will probably pop up in 'top' as well.

Thanks for your help.

RE: [squid-users] Authenticate and 407 errors

2003-07-20 Thread Gareth Hastings
 Other than the http_port line being commented out, your 
 squid.conf looks fine. It WAS uncommented when you tried to 
 use the proxy, right?

No its always been commented out. AFAIK squid had a default setting and
this wasn't required. I will try using it anyway though.

 
 If so, I can give you two suggestions:
 
 1) When you tried the ncsa_auth program from the command 
 line, did you su to the user Squid runs as (ps aux will tell 
 you)? If not, try that.

Yeah I tried this and it authenticated fine, or at least it returned OK

 
 2) You hinted at this, but didn't explicitly say it - did it 
 work using the daytime acl? If not, check to see if a 
 firewall on the Squid box (or elsewhere) is blocking access.

The daytime acl worked fine. It was just with the ncsa_auth.

 
 Adam

Thanks for the help, I think I am going to try upgrading to the latest
version of squid because I have a version 2.5STABLE3 running on another
machine and that works fine using ncsa_auth.

[squid-users] Get Squid to log to MySql database?

Morning all,

After a fair amount of searching I'm none-the-wiser on this one.  Is there 
any way (easy preferred but not essential!) I can get Squid to log directly

There was a project for this, but as far as I know that project doesn't

And on the other side..If you will write every access to a

[squid-users] Analysing cache contents

2003-07-20 Thread Antony Stone
Hi.

How can I:

a) find out what html files have been stored in my Squid cache?
b) retreive those files from the cache so I can look at the contents?

(I guess the answer to (b) could be use a browser, once I know the answer 
to (a), but is there a more direct method which allows me to just pull raw 
html files out of the cache directories, once I know where to look?)

I tried the Squid FAQ, and found instructions on retreiving 'lost' file from 
the cache (q.6.20), but the answer says it applies only to Squid-1.1

I'm using 2.5stable3

Thanks,

Antony

The easiest way is to run a small login monitoring daemon, monitoring 
the log file and dumping it into mysql while Squid writes the log. 
Much easier and more efficient than messing around with a cron job.

The File::Tail perl module is an excellent basis of such monitoring 
daemon.

Re: [squid-users] peering

  On my parent proxy however, I get constant 403's when the sibling
  tries to query it.  I suspect it is a acl that I am missing, but
  I'm not sure what...

 The other peer needs to be allowed to access the server in
 http_access. If not they will be given 403 on attempt to access the
 cache, just as any other http client not allowed by http_access.

Yup.  Thanks Hendrik, I've seem to sort it out.  Appart from a small glitch
in the ACL, I seemed to have made a mistake with miss_access as well.  A
couple of minutes on google did fix it however.

[squid-users] [announce] Squeezer - new version

2003-07-20 Thread Maciej Koziski
Hello Squid Users!

 I have the pleasure to announce new version of Squeezer - logfile 
analysis script. This is brand new version of this utility after 4 years.
 Squeezer gathers information from access.log about Squid's 
performance:  hits, misses, traffic volume and - most important - 
traffic speed from different class of sources (original servers, peers, 
internal cache). You could find out what is slowing down transfer and 
report what benefits on speed You have using Squid. You could also 
optimize relations with Your peers.
 I have completely rewritten this utility. The reports have new, clear 
look. The internal data structures are similar to those Andrew Fresh did 
in his rewrite. I have kept most of features, but added one: the 
diagnostic messages, which appear at the end of report. This should help 
you to find bottlenecks in your installation.
 The script is Open Source  GPL, so feel free to use it, test it, 
find bugs and tell Your opinion, flames, proposals of features to me.

Squeezer is available from:

http://strony.wp.pl/wp/maciej_kozinski/squeezer.html

Regards,
Maciej


RE: [squid-users] Running squid -k reconfigure frequently

2003-07-20 Thread Jay Turner
I have been running Squid versions 2.4 STABLE6 - 2.5 STABLE2 and I have a
system that also uses reconfigure frequently to update blocking lists
automatically for squidGuard.

I generally use a 5 minute interval scheduled in cron but I use a token file
that is checked  for before I issue a reconfigure. That is, reconfigure is
only called if changes have been made (which is infrequent, but could occur
at any time). I have found this system to work quite well for our systems.
During testing, I have even gone down to once a minute, but again,
reconfigure will only be triggered if it is required.

There is a slight disruption to service during a reconfigure, but it is
negligible and generally unnoticeable by end-users in my experience.

Jay

[squid-users] Skymaster 630e Internet Page Accelerator replacement?

2003-07-20 Thread gustavo

Hello,


There is a service here in Brazil that uses the Skymaster 630e
(http://www.gilat.com/Products_Skystar360e_OverView.asp) modem. It
communicates via satellite and it have a huge delay in the requests...
so browsing the Internet isn't possible, to solve that they provide a
Internet Page Accelerator, unfortunately just for M$ Windows.

The software runs with Wine, but requires a local windows installation :(

The basic operation of that software is: it's a proxy that reduces ACK
requests packaging requests like this: Each page is downloaded in 2
requests: 1 for HTML and 1 for Images and likes

So I wonder if that is possible with Squid or other GPL software? If
it's not possible with Squid right now, how difficult would be to
implement that?

I would have presumed squid would decompress before sending to client.
While there will be a processor and memory overhead in decompressing, html
files tend to compress really well, and if this was to be implemented, maybe
an ACL could exist so as not to waste time trying to compress .jpg files
which are already compressed.

RE: [squid-users] Compressing HTML pages before sending to client

2003-07-20 Thread mwestern
true.  but isn't he suggesting:

Client ---compressed data squid internet

??

i gather this by the 'saving bandwidth and time for dialup users' statement.
if a dialup user we having a squid proxy on their box it would save
bandwidth but i don't think that's what he means

hmm.

I would have presumed squid would decompress before sending to client.
While there will be a processor and memory overhead in decompressing, html
files tend to compress really well, and if this was to be implemented, maybe
an ACL could exist so as not to waste time trying to compress .jpg files
which are already compressed.

there's only one problemm with that idea (which i might add is a good one).
the browser has no idea about any compression of any kind (as far as i
know).  you'd need an appl on your browsing machine to undo the compression
and feed it to the browser.  

sounds like a complicated setup.

Hi, 

I recently searched the archives and found one
post/reply where the ability to dinamically compress
the HTML before sending to the users was put as a
3.1/3.2 feature.

I do not subscribe to the devel list so should we
expect this 3.1 for this year ?

Is there any other proxy (and that can me sent to me
directly) that do offer this feature ?

It really can save a lot of bandwidth and time for
dial-up users so please consider adding this as soon
as possible.
