          The squid 2.7 here... i had installed squid3!
          

          Yes - it's a SG depences. Need fix.
          You can try install SG before and squid 3 then.

            You can try install SG before and squid 3 then.

            There is a missing units in the line that creates the .conf file for Squid3. in the squid.inc file

            The line

                    $conf .= 'reply_body_max_size ' . ($down_limit * 1024) . " deny all\n";
            
            

            Should read

                    $conf .= 'reply_body_max_size ' . ($down_limit * 1024) . " all\n";
            
            

            removing the "deny".  In Squid version 3 the use of allow or deny are no longer valid for this directive.

            the squid.inc file can be found in the /usr/local/pkg directory

            Strangely though I was also having problems when the limit was set to 0, which according to the Squid documentation should be valid, however I would always receive a "request to large" error.  I added a qualifier ( != 0) so that the line is only added if required.

            if ($down_limit != 0) $conf .= 'reply_body_max_size ' . ($down_limit * 1024) . " all \n";

              kewl!

              That change should go into the package. Thats that nasty error which made me scratch my head in a way my balls never like…
              I took out the whole line in my config to get rid of the error at last. What i can tell is that i didn't see any failures in the function of squid3 without that line.

              Thanks a lot for your finding!!!!

                  thank you very much, just installed a new router, install the Squid3 package and viola, the Change was made.  :)

                  Woot, I don't have to make the change manually any more.

                  If I find any other bugs, I will post them here.

                    Newb question here..
                    I've been searching and can't seem to find an answer on version 3 vs 2.  I can see posts from over a year ago on squid-cache about the comparison. v3 was in development, and 2 was stable.
                      Since then, I see v3 has stable versions (3.1).
                    So does this not mean instead of having both 2.x and 3.0.8 in pfsense, the path forward should actually be to remove the 2.x package and move into a stable 3.x release?
                      Not pushing and developers (although I'd contribute to a bounty), just trying to make sense of all the versions.
                      Am I understanding this right?

                      You are somewhat confusing the stability of squid with the stability of the pfSense package.

                      We still have a squid 2.7.x package for pfSense because it works, and it works well, and there isn't a large compelling reason to rush into 3.

                      The squid 3 pfSense package is largely untested and most likely still needs work. Until the squid 3 package for pfSense is proven to be stable, and work well with squidGuard/HAVP/whatever, then it will likely still remain in limbo.

                      There are FreeBSD ports still for Squid 2.x, 3.0.x, and 3.1.x, and 2.x is still the default as far as I can see there.

                        Thanks for the clarification.  I'm running 2.X right now and it's running with no issues.  I've always been confused as to the point of the 3.x packages.
