# This arbitrary restriction is to prevent recursive include references
# from causing Squid entering an infinite loop whilst trying to load
# configuration files.
+#
+# Values with byte units
+#
+# Squid accepts size units on some size related directives. All
+# such directives are documented with a default value displaying
+# a unit.
+#
+# Units accepted by Squid are:
+# bytes - byte
+# KB - Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
+# MB - Megabyte
+# GB - Gigabyte
+#
+# Values with spaces, quotes, and other special characters
+#
+# Squid supports directive parameters with spaces, quotes, and other
+# special characters. Surround such parameters with "double quotes". Use
+# the configuration_includes_quoted_values directive to enable or
+# disable that support.
+#
+# For example;
+#
+# configuration_includes_quoted_values on
+# acl group external groupCheck Administrators "Internet Users" Guest
+# configuration_includes_quoted_values off
+#
+#
+# Conditional configuration
+#
+# If-statements can be used to make configuration directives
+# depend on conditions:
+#
+# if <CONDITION>
+# ... regular configuration directives ...
+# [else
+# ... regular configuration directives ...]
+# endif
+#
+# The else part is optional. The keywords "if", "else", and "endif"
+# must be typed on their own lines, as if they were regular
+# configuration directives.
+#
+# NOTE: An else-if condition is not supported.
+#
+# These individual conditions types are supported:
+#
+# true
+# Always evaluates to true.
+# false
+# Always evaluates to false.
+# <integer> = <integer>
+# Equality comparison of two integer numbers.

+# The following SMP-related preprocessor macros can be used.
+#
+# ${process_name} expands to the current Squid process "name"

+# Squid verifies that the destination IP address matches

+# and Request-URI components:
+#
+# * The host names (domain or IP) must be identical,
+# but valueless or missing Host header disables all checks.
