[squid-users] Logging users
Is there any way to get squid-cache to log the user? The request is coming from the wife to keep taps on the kids. Also, does anyone know of any good *NIX firewall/proxy distro's designed to keep the home clean of the crap? Sam

It is a Squid-Cache 2.6 install on my OpenBSD 3.5 firewall. It is a transparent proxy such that everything on the inbound on the intranet NIC port 80 is redirected to the Squid-Cache. Sam

I have been playing around with Linux and the BSD's now since about '94. I have not done much in the last few years other then run this firewall at home. I set this OpenBSD firewall up with squid-cache a few years ago and it has been running very nicely every since. I think it was last year I upgraded the squid-cache to 2.6s10. > Anyway, give us more details about your network setup - the Squid box > and the others on the network. The network consists of 2 workstations and a file server, plus the OpenBSD firewall. At one point I was running squidGuard to block bad content and the other day my wife asked me about that and about where our kids where going on the web. This is when I went to the firewall and realized that I was not logging user info in the squid-cache log. Someone else suggested Dansguard and I will be looking into that, but I am still curious about how to log who as well as where, with out forcing folks to log into the proxy server, for the server is transparent right now.

Amos, I am not looking for authentication, just logging the user name. Sam
[squid-users] subversion and REPORT requests
I am trying to check out the apache source code via subversion. I have been running into the following error: Execute: Checkout Error: Error while performing action: REPORT request failed on '/repos/asf/!svn/vcc/default' REPORT of '/repos/asf/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://svn.apache.org) Ready It looks like the problem is that squid-cache is not allowing the REPORT request through. How do I go about reconfiguring squid-cache to allow the REPORT request through? What are the side effects of doing something like that? Sam
[squid-users] Understanding a "REPORT request"
I posted a question two days ago and nobody responded, so I assume nobody knows the answer, thus I thought I might ask it a little different. I have learned that my squid-cache is blocking a "REPORT request" when trying to pull source code from an subversion repository that is served up by apache. At first I thought the REPORT request was a HTTP request method, but after looking at the specs, I don't see anything about a REPORT request type. Does anyone have any thoughts on what squid-cache is actually blocking? How best to trouble shoot this issue? Sam

[squid-users] upgrading from 2.5S6 to 2.6S10
I am upgrading after about two and a half years from 2.5 STABLE 6 to 2.6 STABLE 10. I do run in accelerator mode. After compiling the new version I tried simply using the old conf file and it did not work, so I thought I would simply copy over my settings into the new conf file. Thus I did a diff on the old conf vs the old default conf. I moved over a number of things, but I discovered the follow lines, from what I can tell the whole accelerator section, is in the old config but not in new one: httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on Is there a new way to setup accelerator mode or is that section simply not in the current config by default? Sam
[squid-users] upgrading from 2.5S6 to 2.6S10, part 2
I decided to do a bit more digging and realized that I am asking about the wrong thing. After looking at the documentation, it appears that httpd-accelerator is what I need once I start hosting my own busy web site and I want a proxy to take some load off my web server. It is *NOT* the feature I am using. I believe it is called a transparent proxy. I have my firewall redirect all traffic coming in on the internal NIC to port 3128 of the local machine/squid server. With 2.6 STABLE 10, what do I need to do to get it running correctly? Sam
[squid-users] Is squid-cache the right tool?
I have been using squid-cache at home on my firewall for years now, I use it for the normal standard old stuff of simply caching of where we surf. I am writing a new kiosk based software package that has a GUI app as the front end for the operator and apache is serving up the pages to the web browser clients. What is being served up are images. The images that come into the GUI app are full size images, 4 megapixel on up. Current what I am doing is after my software copies the full size images into the computer, it then creates the two different web images, one is a small thumbnail (120x180) the other is a larger image for the screen (400x600). When one is doing this to 200 images at one time, it takes a while, too long in my opinion. My first though was to have the indexing page detect if the smaller images where there and create them, page by page, and then save the smaller image so that next time it was snappy. Then it dawned on me: Isn't that was things like squid-cache do? Cache these processed files? So the question is: Is squid-cache (on Windows) the right tool to cache these images? I know that apache can be setup as a cache, but I don't know anything about that. Will I be better off using apache? The other question I have to ask someone, more myself then anyone... Am I making this too complicated by adding a proxy along with the web server? Thoughts and opinions? -- The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.

[squid-users] understanding how Last-Modified is really used...
Folks, If you have been following along my other questions, I want to use a proxy on my kiosk to cache downsized images. The problem is that the system operator can make changes to images, such as rotating them or cropping them. If I understand all this correctly, I can change the Last-Modified header to reflect the last time the image was changed rather then when the script was run to downsize the image. Correct? Assuming I can change the Last-Modified header, is there some type of "pre-fetch" that the proxy does to JUST get the header info as to knows whether or not to get the generated content? Assuming there is some type of pre-fetch. Is my impression correct that I have to handle the pre-fetch correctly within my script (PHP, by the way) and not do the actual content when receiving a pre-fetch request? If my impression is correct about this whole thing, how do I detect that the request is a pre-fetch and not a full fetch, generically speaking, for I don't know if I am going to be sticking with PHP;) Sam
[squid-users] Re: understanding how Last-Modified is really used...
I found the answer: HTTP/1.1 Specs --> 13.3 Validation Model http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.3 and HTTP/1.1 Specs --> 14.24 If-Match http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.24 Very, very cool! I am about to go to beta, but this I will do for the RC1! For those that helped enlighten me, thanks! Sam
[squid-users] OpenBSD and TCP Proxying
I am working on setting up squid-cache on my OpenBSD firewall. When the web browser is configured to go through squid-cache (port 3128), everything works. I added an entry to proxy everything that is going through the firewall to the squid-cache with this line: rdr on $int_if proto tcp from any to any port 80 -> \ 127.0.0.1 port 3128 Then I get an error. I am assuming that it is an issue with the pf.conf rather then squid-cache because squid-cache is working otherwise. Here is the error: While trying to retrieve the URL: / The following error was encountered: Invalid URL Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems: Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar) Missing hostname Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed Your cache administrator is webmaster.
