TAG NAME http_port

Description Port where Squid will listen for clients http requests
Build Option
 Default
Usage
 http_port port [options]
http_port hostname:port [options]
http_port ip_adderss:port [options]
Default
 none


Synopsis
This parameter allows the user to define the address on which Squid will listen for client’s http requests. This is a required parameter, and there are no defaults.
Without this configuration, Squid will never start.

Arguments

port Port to which Squid will bind the socket
hostname hostname to which Squid will bind the socket
ip_address ip_address to which Squid will bind the socket


When a hostname or IP address is specified (as shown in variations 2 and 3 above), Squid binds the socket to that specific address.

Note: The http_port parameter may be specified multiple times, with different addresses each time. This will cause Squid to listen on multiple ports.

Options are arguments that further control the behavior of the Squid proxy. The supported values are explained in the table below:

Options Functions
transparent Support for transparent interception of outgoing requests without browser settings
accel Accelerator mode. Also needs at least one of vhost/vport/defaultsite.
defaultsite= Main web site name for accelerators. Implies accel.
vhost
 Accelerator using the Host header for virtual domain support.
vport
 Accelerator using the Host header for virtual domain support.
allow-direct Allow direct forwarding in accelerator mode.
vport= As above, but uses specified port number rather than the http_port number.
urlgroup= Default urlgroup to mark requests with.
protocol= Protocol to reconstruct accelerated requests with. Defaults to http.
no-connection-auth Prevent forwarding of Microsoft connection oriented authentication.
act-as-origin Act is if this Squid is the origin server.
http11 Enables HTTP/1.1 support to clients
name= Specifies a internal name for the port.
tcpkeepalive= Enable TCP keepalive probes of idle connections
tproxy Support Linux TPROXY for spoofing outgoing connections using the client IP address.
