I got squid-3.0-PRE3-20060110 compiled OK. The intention I have is to replace squid-2.5.STABLE3 to accelerate a backend .NET server. There is a requirement to support digest authentication through to the .NET server and 2.5 does not seem to support it - I think because the backend request is using HTTP/1.0. I had hoped 3.0 would support HTTP/1.1 and digest auth based on the release notes, however there are some squid.conf directives which do not seem valid in 3.0 even though they are in 2.5 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 48 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_host virtual' 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 49 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_port 0' 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 50 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_single_host off' 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 51 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_with_proxy off' 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 52 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_single_host off' 2006/01/11 11:40:34.659| parseConfigFile: 'squid.conf' line 53 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_uses_host_header on' So to cut to the chase, my question is... can 3.0 be used as an accelerator supporting digest auth on the backside? Or alternatively, could this be supported in 2.5 if correctly configured?
