Fair enough. I can understand why Squid would want to do that for user security purposes. Sounds like having a single layer/wide cache using the rock cache is the way to go. Probably would end up fixing a lot of issues I'm seeing. -- Aaron Turner https://synfin.net/ Twitter: @synfinatic My father once told me that respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. "Something cannot emerge from nothing," he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable "the truth" can be. -- Frank Herbert, Dune On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 10:48 AM, Alex Rousskov <rousskov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 08/28/2017 10:27 AM, Aaron Turner wrote: > >> So I guess what I'd like to know is how squid handles a multi-layer >> cache config with ssl bumping? > > If you are asking how to SSL bump requests in one Squid worker and then > satisfy those bumped requests in another Squid worker (and/or another > Squid instance), then the answer is that you cannot do that because > Squid does not support exporting decrypted bumped requests (without > encrypting them) from a Squid worker. > > >> For obvious performance reasons, I >> don't want to bump the same connection twice.
