Subject: squid: Please rebuild with '--enable-http-violations'

Date: Sat, 06 Feb 2016 00:50:53 +0100

Package: squid
Version: 3.5.12-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,


-- System Information:
Debian Release: stretch/sid
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

In order to remove specific headers from responses, squid must be 
built with '--enable-http-violations'.
This feature seems to have been built-in in the version 2 (present in wheezy). In the version 3 this is
a compile time option.
Please rebuild squid with this option enabled.

best regards,
  Kristijan Caprdja

Squid already is:
 "configure:31445: HTTP violations support enabled: yes"

The compile-time option in Squid is to *disable* violations support if
wanted, and that is not used in the Debian builds.

If you are having trouble mangling HTTP headers the problem is
elsewhere. Some details about what you are actually trying to do and how
it is not working would be a help.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Amos, your are right, this options is set per default!

I was trying to configure squid to change User-Agent string from http
headers using 'request_header_access' and 'request_header_replace'
configuration directives.

I got misled by squid documentation which claims that
'--enable-http-violations' is
a compile-time prerequisite in order to use these directives, see here:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/request_header_access/
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/request_header_replace/
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ConfiguringSquid

Quote from the last link:
'Squid must be built with the --enable-http-violations configure option
before building.'

Output of 'squid -v' shows no '--enable-http-violations', which led me to
the conclusion that this option is not set per default.
So I recompiled my own squid packages with this option set (which then
appeared in the ouput of 'squid -v') and got it to work.

I should have tested with official debian packages before reporting this as
an issue.

Sorry for wasting your time!

ps. it seems that there is a configuration option named
'--disable-http-violations' that really disables all 'violating'
configuration directives

Thanks,
Kristijan Caprdja
