Enable SQUID Rules Debug

Nightmare

Have you ever tried to debug SQUID rules? It's a real PITA. This post, which is as usual a self-reminder, shows you how to enable SQUID rules debug by showing the last rule processed in your cache.log.

The Configuration Line(s)

There are two lines, one that will show you debug information and the second one, which will be more verbose, I haven't needed the second one, it just helped me get even more confused with all the extra log text.

Just add one of the two above lines, at the top of your squid.conf file, reload squid, et voilá, you'll see clearly what's going on at the acl's level in your squid processing.

Thanks!
