Hello

I have 2 LAN interface on squid box, say department A (192.168.1.1/24)
and department B (192.168.2.1/24)

I have few banned sites. Say Facebook.

I have HTTP server (running on same server as squid) which shows custom
pages with custom logo based on IP address.

When request comes for a banned site I would like client to be
redirected based on squid's own IP.
Firstly, is there any particular reason you are requiring it to be a
redirect?
  from what you have said it appears you can achieve the same outcome
without the extra web server by using a custom error page.
No I cant use custom error page as Javascript will leak the IP range of
department A to department B.
(I had simplified my example, its actually two companies and not two
departments infact I have 4-5 companies/subnets)

Thirdly, on the issue of %h - the Squid hostname is *required* to
resolve in DNS explicitly so clients can access things like these URLs.
If your network and DNS is configured correctly each client subnet
should resolve that hostname to the relevant IP which you are trying to
"pass" to the web server in your redirect URL. So they will naturally
(and only) connect to the web server (or Squid itself) using the right
IP anyway - the web server should be able to detect what it needs from
its own inbound TCP/IP connection instead of using raw-IPs in the traffic.

Some company uses OpenDNS, other Cloudflare, other Google etc.

So DNS will not resolve the hostname to same as %MYADDR.
I suspect something is going screwy there. How are these clients getting
to the proxy if they resolve its name to a different IP than they
connect to?

They connect by putting IP address in Proxy setting.


There are three options available to work around broken DNS:


Option 1) to do exactly (and only) what you asked for.

Currently this can be done with an external helper:

  external_acl_type getIp concurrency=100 %MYADDR /path/to/script
  deny_info 302:http://%et/banned.html getIp

where the script just echos back to Squid the IP it was given like so:
     [channel-id] OK message="<input-IP>"\n

Based on documentation of FORMAT for deny_info, I think you mean %o and
not %et
Ah, yes. Sorry. Getting my legacy formats mixed up.

Also will this "message" be available if I change by http_access line to:
deny_info 302:http://%o/banned.html blockedsites
http_access deny blockedsites getIp

will "message" of getIp be available to deny_info of blockedsites?
The message will persist as an annotation in the transaction, but only
from the point the external ACL is tested. So the deny_info has to be
attached to the external ACL or something following it.

Also, deny_info only works if it is attached to the *last* ACL named on
a line.

So:

  deny_info 302:http://%o/banned.html getIp
  http_access deny blockedsites getIp

or,

  deny_info 302:http://%o/banned.html blockedsites
  http_access deny getIp blockedsites

or,
  deny_info 302:http://%o/banned.html blockedsites
  http_access deny getIp !all
  ...
  http_access deny blockedsites


should work, but other orderings do not.


Tried this and it works as I expect it to.
_*Feature request:*_
Can we have the following switch-case in file errorpage.cc?

Source:
https://github.com/squid-cache/squid/blob/master/src/errorpage.cc#L857

Currently case 'I' (capital i) for building_deny_info_url returns string
"[unknown]"

Can it be modified to return "interface" address? i.e. same as MYADDR

I believe it would be just few (may be one) line change in code.

I can create a PR if required but can you or someone guide me on how to
fetch MYADDR?
A PR is welcome, but re-using a %macro which already has a different
definition will add problems in the long-term plan of conversion to
logformat %macro codes. So picking a letter that has not yet been used
for anything would be best.

The Squid IP:port on client requests should be available to that code as
request->masterXaction->tcpClient->local , the request and tcpClient
pointers may be nil since not all transactions have a client or the
error may be about the lack of an HTTP request on the TCP connection.

I chose I (capital i) as it is not used for deny_info (and not documented either) and also properly reflects that it means interface address.

Document source: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/deny_info/

%i (small i) is used for client IP address
%I (capital i) may be used for interface (own) IP address

Let me know if its ok and I would attempt to create a PR.

Thank you again.
