Squid 2.6STABLE1 and IE6 SP2
I have a very short period of time in which to set up a proxy server for about 800 Windows boxes that "have to" use IE5 or IE6. I decided to try Squid since it seems to be the most popular proxy out there and it supports SSL/https proxying. I tested quiet a few things the past few days and everything looked good. But I run Gentoo Linux as my desktop and Firefox as my browser. Today, I gained access to a Windows box to test with and I found that the proxy didn't work. When I'd point IE to my Squid proxy and then restart it, I couldn't get anywhere when I'd type in any URL (local or on the internet). So I did some Googling and found a tip that I could either set "use http 1.1 when proxying" to on in the Internet Options dialog or I could apply the latest IE patches. I tested by setting the suggested http 1.1 setting and that allowed the proxy to work. The problem I'm facing is that our Windows admin is positive there is no way to set this for all the browsers centrally. So I'm wondering if there are any changes that I can make on the proxy side to make Squid a bit more friendly to IE. Anyone else using Squid in a medium sized (500+ workstations) environment with IE5 or IE6(SP2)/?

NAME
mrtg-squid - using mrtg to monitor Squid
DESCRIPTION
Squid 2.3 knows SNMP and you can therefore use mrtg to monitor it quite easily.
I have made some modifications to mrtg which simplify this. My work is based on earlier modification made by: matija.grabnar@arnes.si and
kostas@nlanr.net.
MODIFICATIONS
I added new code for displaying correct units to the previous patches "perminute" and "perhour" ("option" tokens), which allows other
measurement in addition to "persecond".
Then I created a new option token "dorelpercent" which allows the calculation of the percentage of IN-stream / OUT-stream on the fly and
then displays it on a fixed scale from 0% to 100%. For my requirements, this does good work. Maybe someone wants a floating scale. It
should not be a problem to implement it, too (but give me an option to keep my fixed scale). If IN-stream is always less than OUT-stream
both lines (OUT-stream and relative percent) are always displayed on top of IN-stream bulk. Otherwise this option makes no sense. With this
option you can display hitrates, errorrates (for router monitoring: rel. droprates) easily now.
If you use this options please consider that you need a 5th colourname/value pair in your Colours statements!
Due to some discussion on this list, I have implemented two tokens too:
"kilo" and "kMG"
"kilo" should contain the value of k (1000 or 1024), where 1000 is the default.
"kMG" is a comma separated list of multiplier prefixes, used instead of "", "k", "M", "G", "T" on the MRTG display. Leave the place free,
if you want no prefix.
Also an incomplete list of OIDs for the new SQUID release is added.
You may need to turn on snmp_port in squid.conf to as it is disabled by default.
I hope you enjoy it.
CONFIG EXAMPLE
First load the squid mib
LoadMIBs: /usr/share/squid/mib.txt
You can measure responsetimes in ms and display it with MRTG correctly with:
kMG[measure-ms]: m,,k,M,G,T
short[measure-ms]: s
You can display now MB/s as 1024*1024 B/s with:
kilo[volume]: 1024
Assuming you're not running squid's SNMP on the default snmp port, you need to include a port number in your target line:
Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheProtoClientHttpRequests:public@localhost:3401
A sample config for squid:
Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheProtoClientHttpRequests:public@proxy
Title[proxy-hit]: HTTP Hits
PageTop[proxy-hit]: <H2>proxy Cache Statistics: HTTP Hits / Requests</H2>
Suppress[proxy-hit]: y
LegendI[proxy-hit]: HTTP hits
LegendO[proxy-hit]: HTTP requests
Legend1[proxy-hit]: HTTP hits
Legend2[proxy-hit]: HTTP requests
YLegend[proxy-hit]: perminute
ShortLegend[proxy-hit]: req/min
Options[proxy-hit]: nopercent, perminute, dorelpercent
Target[proxy-srvkbinout]: cacheServerInKb&cacheServerOutKb:public@proxy
Title[proxy-srvkbinout]: Cache Server Traffic In / Out
PageTop[proxy-srvkbinout]: <H2>Cache Statistics: Server traffic volume (In/Out) </H2>
Suppress[proxy-srvkbinout]: y
LegendI[proxy-srvkbinout]: Traffic In
LegendO[proxy-srvkbinout]: Traffic Out
Legend1[proxy-srvkbinout]: Traffic In
Legend2[proxy-srvkbinout]: Traffic Out
YLegend[proxy-srvkbinout]: per minute
ShortLegend[proxy-srvkbinout]: b/min
kMG[proxy-srvkbinout]: k,M,G,T
kilo[proxy-srvkbinout]: 1024
Options[proxy-srvkbinout]: nopercent, perminute
