A patch for intercepted/WCCP HTTPS and 409 errors

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

 



Hi,

I understand that squid does some security checking that the SNI of an 
intercepted/WCCP HTTPS requests matches the reverse DNS of the IP of the 
connection.  Or something like that.

However with the prevalence of CDNs and badly configured DNSs and geographic 
DNSs, this breaks lots of connections (eg, I can't watch the NHL).

I run Squid on a trusted network and use it primarily for caching and 
logging, and so I while I need to run WCCP for some non-proxy capable 
devices, I don't need that security check.

It stops all of those 409 errors occurring.

Because of that I've created some patches that add a new option
"host_verify_strict_intercepted" which is off by default.  They are
for Squid 4.9.  As this is disabling a security feature of Squid do
not apply this patch unless you are prepared for any and all consequences.
