Blocking or allowing specific arbitrary request headers in squid-3.1.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

In older versions of squid, I was able to block or allow specific arbitrary
request headers. For example:

header_access X-SomeRandomHeaderA allow all
header_access X-SomeRandomHeaderB deny all

In squid-3.1 (and 3.0, I think), the equivalent of header_access for request
headers is now request_header_access.

But if I try this, squid gets upset and doesn't start:
request_header_access X-SomeRandomHeaderA allow all
request_header_access X-SomeRandomHeaderB deny all

It says:
2010/03/16 13:55:19| parse_http_header_access: unknown header name 'X-SomeRandomHeaderA'

So, it seems that you can only add headers that squid knows about internally.
Which is what this page says:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/request_header_access/

	You can only specify known headers for the header name.
	Other headers are reclassified as 'Other'. You can also
	refer to all the headers with 'All'.

I could use 'Other', but it means that I have to treat all unknown headers
in the same way. Unless I'm missing something.


So, can anybody tell me how to block or allow specific arbitrary request
headers in squid-3.1?

Thank you.
