Hi,
The system is using Squid version 3.1.8.
I have configured squid to use a url_rewrite_program that redirects
users to the company portal sites under certain circumstances. The
problem is that the portal sites references external content and the
external content URI's are also being re_written. Is there any way for
me to determine if a particular uri has a referer? It would be idea if
I could determine the referer's domain name, but even just knowing if
the uri request has a referer would be helpful.
Sincerely,
dustfinger.
Use "acl referer_regex" and url_rewriter_access. For example:
acl intranet_ref referer_regex *.intranet.com.*
url_rewriter_access deny intranet_ref
url_rewriter_access allow all

Hi Diego,
Thank you very much for your response. The challenge that I face is
that there will probably be a lot of referred to domains and these may
potentially change over time. If it is possible to somehow determine
the referrer from the url_rewrite_program, then that would be idea.
Your solution is not totally out of the question, but it would be a
maintenance issue for me.
I suspect that what I want to do is simply not supported, but I did
read one user's post that he was able to pass the referrer to the
redirector using user variables. The poster did not detail how he went
about this though.
Sounds way too complex. You can use external ACL in url_rewrite_access to
make the ACL checks real-time based on arbitrary data source. Usage the same
as in http_access.

Hi,
Correct me if I am wrong, but in your suggested solution I would still
have to know in advance all of the domain names that I wanted to
redirect, or all of the domain names that I do not want to redirect.
Is it possible to use your suggested solution in the following
scenario:
Suppose that I have in a database a list of URI's that I would like to
allow access to. Consider one of these URI's and let's referrer to
that URI as URI_A. It turns out that URI_A contains content that is
hosted by a domain not contained in our database of URI's that we
would like to allow access to. Let's refer to the referred-to URI as
URI_UNLISTED. Now when a user requests content from URI_A, any of the
content that is referred to by URI_A, but is hosted by URI_UNLISTED,
is redirected. The result is that none of the reffered to content will
be returned to the client and that is not the behavior that I am
looking for.
If I understand that right you want:
* unknown page 'URI_A' which is pointing *to* one of your acceptable
URLs to be automatically accepted.
* AND you want all other references that page makes (URI_UNLISTED) to
be also automatically accepted.
Assuming that is correct, two major problems:
1) what if the URI_A refers to a URI_UNLISTED before it refers to the
acceptable URL?
2) what if malicious person adds reference to one of your acceptable
URLs to a page you actually want blocked?
I hope I misunderstood your above paragraph. The one below is clearer
and seems to describe a safer set of requirements.
This is what I am looking for. If a client makes a direct request to
URI_UNLISTED, then I would like to redirect that request by rewriting
the URI. If the client makes a request to URI_A, and URI_A refers to
URI_UNLISTED, then I would like all of the content to be accessible,
with no URI rewriting. That is, the request to URI_UNLISTED is
accepted since it is being referred to by a URI that is in our
database.
I know that if I could gain access to the referrer in the
url_rewrite_program, then I could achieve this behavior.
Does anyone know how I could achieve the behavior that I have described.
You don't need a URL-change helper. You need an access control helper.
This is how I would code up the config and script to meet your scenario
requirements:
# external ACL helper. To determine if this URL request is acceptable.
# may be a read-only lookup, or may add thing to the database live.
# whatever you desire as side-effects, it could do.
external_acl_type urlTest %URI %{Referer}>h /path/to/script
acl urlIsOkay external urlTest
# redirect to this URL if the requested URL is bad.
deny_info http://example.com/badurl.html urlIsOkay
# deny the bad URL requests.
# NOTE: using allow here will not trigger the redirect above.
http_access deny !urlIsOkay
# the regular
http_access allow localnet
http_access deny all
You risk malicious persons adding forged Referer: headers to their
requests in order to get past your access controls. This is a standing
risk with depending on the Referer in any security system you need to be
aware of.
see http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/external_acl_type for details
on the external ACL directive and its parameters. What I wrote above was
an example and you will need to tune things further.
