Hi all, I keep exploring the darkest corners of the Squid universe thus meeting unexpected creatures. :-) Today's discovery is hier_code ACL. I stumbled upon it while looking for a way to prevent SMP workers from swapping duplicate objects they got from the shared memory cache. On second thought, hier_code could also help me prevent swapping objects fetched from cache peers, making my peername ACL redundant. Oh, great! 2-in-1. Let's do it: ===[cut]=== # swap only objects fetched directly from source # objects fetched from cache peers or # shared memory shall not be cached acl direct hier_code HIER_DIRECT acl direct hier_code CLOSEST_DIRECT acl direct hier_code SOURCE_FASTEST acl direct hier_code PINNED acl direct hier_code ORIGINAL_DST cache allow direct cache deny all ===[cut]=== Unfortunately, the above config prevented ANY objects from being cached, like the hier_code wasn't available at the time the swap decision is taken. Am I doing it wrong? Is it possible to use hier_code acl against cache deny/allow? Best, Niki P.S. I'm using Squid 3.4.3 in case it matters...
