Or said another way, it's a step in the proper direction.
At this point I should remind that it is a *wiki* and largely written by
all of us in the community.
The ConfigExamples section a collection of configs that people here in
the community are (or were) actively using and found useful to share.
We (the main devs) have made a point of trying to update the contents to
prune mistakes and mention when there are Squid version-specific
differences. That is all.
That said, Francesco is working on converting the wiki content to
another format so right now is not good for edits.
I think one of the most important things to have with examples is meta
information about the configuration (both server and client side) that
it is being used and the version.
E.g. Clients are configured to talk directly to Squid (vX.Y) proxy
server on port 80 / 443 wherein SSL "bumping" a la. monkey in the middle
for caching purposes on a low bandwidth / metered connection.
Sounds like you are talking about
<https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/HTTPS>. From that page it is a
matter of selecting which situation is the use-case and diving into the
rabbit hole of links.
/Just/ having configuration examples doesn't do much in and of itself
without knowing the context the examples are from. If anything /just/
examples is worse in that people have no context and are left with
trying to identify the version, what was being and intended to be done,
and then translating that to the version & configuration they are
working with. This is something that's non-trivial for seasoned (Squid)
administrators and can be near impossible to new (Squid) administrators.
Nod.
