Name

httpd_accel_uses_host_header

Synopsis

When this directive is enabled, Squid uses a request’s Host header when rewriting accelerated/intercepted requests. When disabled, Squid uses either the origin server’s IP address or the httpd_accel_host value.

You should probably enable httpd_accel_uses_host_header when running Squid as an HTTP-intercepting proxy. If Squid is a surrogate (accelerator), you only need to enable this directive if the backend server is configured for virtual hosting.

Syntax

httpd_accel_uses_host_header on|off

Default

httpd_accel_uses_host_header off

httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
