hello list:

I have a squid box version:

Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE16
configure options:  '--prefix=/var/squid' '--enable-snmp'
'--enable-arp-acl' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for'
'--enable-ssl' '--disable-wccp' '--disable-wccpv2'
'--with-openssl=/usr' '--enable-icmp' '--enable-useragent-log'
'--enable-referer-log' '--enable-forward-log' '--with-large-files'
'--enable-kill-parent-hack' '--enable-multicast-miss'
'--enable-pthreads'

I have squidGuard and AdZap in place as filters. the filters worked
great, but I would like to allow video streaming through squid as
well. I have tried putting the URL on a whitelist but without any
luck. I haven't set up any blocking method on streaming but it seems
to be doing it. below are my logs.

is there any other setting I may need to put into my squid.conf
directly in order to allow streaming? or does it do it by
default(which if it does by default for some weird reason it's not
working on mine).

The defaults for 2.6 are wowking properly in yours (preventing dynamic pages ever caching)

You will need to update your cache policy a little.

KILL any of these in your squid.conf:

  acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \?
  cache deny QUERY
  no_cache deny QUERY


UPDATE the default refresh_patterns:

  refresh_pattern ^ftp:		1440	20%	10080
  refresh_pattern ^gopher:	1440	0%	1440
  refresh_pattern cgi-bin	0	0%	0
  refresh_pattern \?		0	0%	0
  refresh_pattern .		0	20%	4320

This will allow any dynamic pages that contain proper cache-controls to follow those settings. Dynamic pages without will continue to non-cache.

Have a look at your logs with the setting updates and decide which domains you will need to handle specially.
