How to configure HAVP

andrew0401

I think we have the same/similar problem.

Squid and squidguard work. Havp works. But not together with havp as the parent proxy. We get

havp[22448]: (127.0.0.1) Invalid request from browser

when the above cache peer line is used.

Any more clues on what to try as I am now totally confused.

Post pls you havp config, squid 'cutom options' and 'upstream proxy' options

andrew0401

Upstream proxy - blank - not used

Custom

redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf;redirector_bypass on;redirect_children 3;cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3121 7 no

HAVP is now logging most entries to syslog - about 1 in 10 are either "could not send body to browser" or "Inavlid request from browser".

But Eicar test comes through no problem! I seem to either have havp working in isolation or as a parent proxy and it stops scanning.

Confused

cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3121 7 no-query

havp mast have port 3121

andrew0401

havp is on 3121

also just realised that whilst havp is working as much as logging some (but not all reuests), squidguard and lightsquid have both stopped working!

At this stage not impressed with havp

As suspected - removed Havp and lightsquid and squidguard started working again.

Has anyone managed to get this group of packages to work together and if so how?

HowTo use squid & HAVP

Scheme: {inet}->[HAVP]->[Squid cache]->{clients}

HAVP:

'Use external proxy interface' disable
'Proxy port' - select HAVP-proxy-port, different from the squid-proxy-port
'Parent proxy' leave empty

Squid:

disable upstream proxy
custom options Add (here 3121 - havp proxy port, change to you self)

cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3121 7 no-query

(do not delete exists options)

This is exactly what I had - agree Havp & squid seemed to be working (though logging was irregular) but squidguard etc stopped working.
