configure squid3 as transparent proxy

Question

After adding this lines to the file squid.conf:

httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy  on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

I'm having this error message:

* Restarting Squid HTTP Proxy 3.0 squid3                                       2013/05/12 20:33:57| cache_cf.cc(346) squid.conf:59 unrecognized: 'httpd_accel_with_proxy'

There was a change in squid config option after version 2.6, replace that with :

http_port 3128 transparent
http_port 80 vhost

Should it be updated with 'intercept'? https://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/LinuxRedirect – tuxErrante Oct 27 '21 at 07:42
I don't think an 8 year answer should be updated with anything – Sandor Marton Oct 27 '21 at 13:51

In squid versions 3.1 and up, the directive is: http_port 80 intercept. In versions 2.6 up to and not including 3.1, it's http_port 80 transparent. The intercept or transparent option tells squid to infer the proxy destination from the Host: header as with httpd_accel_uses_host_header.
