I've made a new 2.5.STABLE10 squid and squid debian package. I took the debian unstable package as starting point and include the follow_xff patch (see: http://squid.sourceforge.net/projects.html#follow_xff). After lots of efforts I managed to build a new package. Furthermore I used a logging patch for xforward (see http://dansguardian.org/downloads/squidxforwardloggingpatch.txt) All seems to go well: squid -v Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE10 configure options: --prefix=/usr --exec_prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/sbin -- sbindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid --sysconfdir=/etc/squid -- localstatedir=/var/spool/squid --datadir=/usr/share/squid --enable-async-io -- with-pthreads --enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,diskd,null --enable-linux-netfilter --enable- arp-acl --enable-removal-policies=lru,heap --enable-snmp --enable-delay-pools -- enable-htcp --enable-poll --enable-cache-digests --enable-underscores --enable- referer-log --enable-useragent-log --enable-auth=basic,digest,ntlm --enable-carp -- with-large-files --enable-follow-x-forwarded-for i386-debian-linux During the build there there are no errors and this message is in the log: follow X-Forwarded-For enabled So I assume the --enable-follow-x-forwarded-for is working. After installing the new squid when I try to configure it in squid.conf: follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost I got an errormessage: ParseConfigFile: line 1911 unrecognized: 'follow_x_forwarded_for allow localhost' What went wrong? Any ideas? Met vriendelijke groet/Regards, Ruud Baart Prompt, Kerkstraat 173 5261 CW Vught, Netherlands Tel: +31 73 6567041 http://www.prompt.nl
