Hello,
I didn't find how to instruct Squid to form PROXY header for request going to parent cache_peer.
Moreover, briefly looking at a code I found parsing PROXY protocol header but not found where it formed to prepend request to cache_peer.
Google AI said:
To make a Squid cache send the PROXY protocol (v1 or v2) to a peer connection, add the�`proxy-out`�option to the�`cache_peer`�directive in�`squid.conf`. This enables sending the client's original IP address information to the parent or sibling proxy.
But it seems to be a sweet hallucination.
Can somebody bring clarity to the subject?
