The default configuration file is the “authoritative” documentation for Squid options but its a bit on the big and unwieldy side. Henrik pointed out on IRC that it’d be nice if we had a HTML version of the squid.conf.default file; hyperlinked and highlighted.
So I hacked up a quick script to convert the default configuration data file (cf.data.pre, which gets processed into the configuration parser and default configuration file) into a bunch of HTML pages – one per option, then an index page.
Henrik then changed things around a little to generate an index page with sections – like the actual configuration file – and we’re shifting configuration options around into said sections. Amusingly, too much ended up in the “miscellaneous” section. Thats slowly being fixed.
Some options could do with better documentation; some options have no documentation at all! If you’d like to submit some updates then please feel free to leave a comment.
