The (unfinished) Squid Users Guide was written long time ago, long before Squid-2.5 was released. The syntax shown in it's examples are using the syntax which was correct at the time, but Squid-2.5 uses a slightly different syntax. The principles are the same however. You can find details on the Squid-2.5 syntax in a) squid.conf.default b) Squid-2.5 release notes b) the Squid FAQ c) list archives since Squid-2.5 was released The squid.conf.default file is THE authoritative reference to squid.conf syntax and is always up to date with the version of Squid you have installed. The Squid-2.5 release noted do document these squid.conf syntax changes, giving some guidelines in how to translate Squid-2.4 and earlier configurations to Squid-2.5 syntax The Squid FAQ is slightly more up to date than the (incomplete) Squid Users Guide or the Squid-2.4 Configuration Guide, but seriously needs someone maintaining it a little more actively.. volunteers for updating the Squid FAQ is highly welcome.. For this task the requirements is: * knowledge in how to use a text editor (required) * some understanding of Squid-2.5 (required) * follows discussions on Squid-users (required) * not being scared by SGML (desired, not required) * and reasonably good English writing skills (desired, not required) Regards Henrik
