Hello all,
(I'm quite new to Squid, so excuse me for some inexperience....)
I have a doubt about external ACLs. This is my setup and it works (the
linechange and the '\' character are not present in the squid.conf):
-------------------------------------------------------------
external_acl_type xACLtypBL %SRCPORT %SRC \
%DST /etc/squid/redirectors/x_acl_BL_logger.pl /etc/aaa bbb ccc
acl xACL_BL external xACLtypBL xACL_01
--------------------------------------------------------
My question: if I remove the xALC_01 argument (in the acl line) this
external ACL simply does not work (ACL program does not detect anything
on STDIN !!!); if I include the xACL_01 portion it works as expected.
In my application I really do not need to pass any arguments to the
externa ACL, but if I dont do it it, won't work...
So: what is it for ? and why doesn't it work without it?
thx
joao
---------------------------------------------------
see bellow my ACL script (Perl)...
... it is a simple logger (always prints "OK")
--------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use strict;
$|=1;
use IO::Handle qw(autoflush);
while (<STDIN>) {
my $openok=0;
chomp;
if(open(LOG,'>>',"/var/log/squid/BL.log")){
$openok=1;autoflush LOG;print LOG "|| $_ ||\n";
};
} continue {
print "OK";
}
