How to get Squid to allow access based on referral?

  • 772

I have a very specific need of allowing access to an unknown set of domains where they all have a common domain as referral.

Put the other way around I have a website including items (js, images, css, etc) from an unknown set of domains which I need to allow access through to.

I know referrals are set client side and can be edited. This is not a concern in this case as the users are already authenticated via credentials and logged.

Is allowing access based on referral possible in Squid?

authentication proxy squid domain

    You can, using the referer acl-type - quoting the manual:

    acl aclname referer_regex [-i] regexp ...
  # pattern match on Referer header [fast]
  # Referer is highly unreliable, so use with care

    An example configuration that should work:

    acl myreferer referer_regex -i ^http://www.example.org
http_access allow myreferer
