Re: [squid-users] Squid as HTTPS Proxy Server

Squid2.x works also well on reverse-proxy for https. see https_port directive on squid.conf.default.
[squid-users] about half_closed_clients
# Change this option to 'off' and Squid will keep open connections # until a read(2) or write(2) on the socket returns an error. # This may show some benefits for reverse proxies. But if not # it is recommended to leave OFF. # #Default: # half_closed_clients off in squid3.0-stable12's squid.conf.default, the statement of above: Change this option to 'off' and Squid will keep open connections until a read(2) or write(2) on the socket returns an error. I think it should be: Change this option to 'on' and Squid will keep open connections until a read(2) or write(2) on the socket returns an error. Is it? Thanks. Ralf.
Re: [squid-users] Precaching? Is it possible?
if it's in reverse proxy, it's possible. write a script to fetch all the links through Squid. 2009/1/30 Matt Browne : > Hi, > > Does anyone know if it's possible to configure precaching in squid.

Re: [squid-users] Any one can help me to start squid automatically as service ?
You should edit /etc/rc.local and put this line in it: /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -D not try to put this line in: echo "/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -D" >> /etc/rc.local (or you should run this line in root's shell.)

Re: [squid-users] Squid, firewall in suse 9.1

Ok since you're using linux as firewall, you may enable iptables. so use iptables as NAT, that's pretty easy to setup a gateway for going internet. also you should know squid proxys only on web, not on others like email. try google "iptables+nat+masq" that will help you.

If PHP can get remote address by $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], then it should always get it by this way, nothing to do with Squid. Also X-Forwarded-For just behaves well under your case. Ralf.

If I remember that correctly, you should be able to modify src/HttpHeader.cc and change the string of 'X_FORWARDED_FOR' to what you wanted then recomplie and install Squid. Ralf.
