[squid-users] How to see client IP behind a reverse proxy
I have a web application server that needs to be able to see the client request IP address. But when I add a Squid as a reverse proxy in front of my web server, my application only sees the IP of the reverse proxy. Is there any way to configure Squid to expose client IP's to my web app?

[squid-users] Java Webstart problem
On my web server I have a Java Webstart application that starts using a JNLP descriptor file. When I add Squid STABLE10 as a web accelerator in front of my webserver (Apache Tomcat 5.5) I am not able to load the webstart application. The webstart application is a JAR file that is loaded by JAVA. The Java console says it can't download the JAR file, but when I point my browser to the JAR file it downloads just fine. Is there limited support for JAVA in Squid STABLE10? Roland
[squid-users] Need configuration advise
Hi I would like to use Squid servers in my network for a couple of reasons but I am having trouble making it all work together. I have a central site with a webserver that needs acceleration, and I have about 1000 external sites each with 10-50 clients that need a local cache to save bandwidth. The clients on my local sites are not web users, but an automated client that downloads files based on rules. My first goal is to set up the central HTTP Accelerator (reverse proxy) to help out my webserver. The content is protected using Basic Authentication. I have set up the accelerator using the following configuration (Squid 2.6 Stable 10): http_port 80 accel defaultsite=centralsquid.foo.bar cache_peer webserver.foo.bar parent 80 0 no-query originserver login=PASS url_rewrite_host_header off collapsed_forwarding on acl port80 port 80 http_access allow port80 This seems to work just fine. My second goal is to set up the proxy-cache at the local sites. My idea was to configure this as a reverse proxy for the central accelerator. So what I did was to configure this server much the same way as the central accelerator, only I point the local squid at the central squid: http_port 80 accel defaultsite=localsquid001.foo.bar cache_peer centralsquid.foo.bar parent 80 0 no-query originserver login=PASS url_rewrite_host_header off collapsed_forwarding on acl port80 port 80 http_access allow port80 This does not work, and I am stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is it possible to pull this off? Regards Roland Rabben
[squid-users] Two levels of reverse proxy
I need to be able to set up two levels of reverse proxy (http accelerators) but I need help with the configuration. I have no trouble configuring just one reverse proxy, but if I try to put a reverse proxy in front of the reverse proxy, I get into trouble. I have several clients located at many sites all connecting to a central origin server. I have a reverse proxy in front of the origin server to speed up things. I also need a local cache near the clients. It looks like this; my client is pointed at squid.local.server, and I need the requests to reach the orign server. I am also using collapsed forwarding. +--+ |Client| | | +--+ | LAN | +--+ | squid.local.server | | | +--+ | INTERNET | +--+ | squid.origin.server | | | +--+ | LAN | +--+ | origin.server| | | +--+ Please advice on how to configure squid.local.server and squid.origin.server.
