Description:

Analyse two squid configuration files, and report parameters that are present in one file but not in the other, or have different values. Also attempt to identify valid parameter names in the comments and report on those as well (useful when new versions are released).

diffsquid - compare squid configuration files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<diffsquid> filespec filespec

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Analyse two squid configuration files, and report parameters that are
present in one file but not in the other, or have different values.
Also attempt to identify valid parameter names in the comments and
report on those as well (useful when new versions are released).

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 5

None.

=head1 DETAILS

By default, a squid configuration file "fresh out the box" contains
no values, as sensible default values are chosen for everything.
Fortunately most, if not all, parameters and their possible values
appear in the comments. As an added bonus, they are easily greppable
since those lines contain the string 'TAG:'.

This script takes two filenames, which should be Squid configuration
files, and isolates the TAG: comment lines to extract the parameter
names, and extracts all the parameters with explicit values.

It then compares the two sets of paramters and displays the
differences: the parameters than exist in both files but have
different settings, and parameters that exist in one file but not
the other.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Here is an excerpt of the output when run with against a working
2.4.STABLE3 config and a freshly downloaded copy from 2.4.STABLE7.

 squid.conf-2.4.3(1051) connect_timeout=45 seconds [squid.conf-2.4.7(1
+200) not specified]
 squid.conf-2.4.3(1283) http_access=allow all [squid.conf-2.4.7(1462) 
+differs: deny all]
 squid.conf-2.4.3(1303) miss_access=allow all [squid.conf-2.4.7(1478) 
+not specified]

These three lines indicate that two parameters are present in the firs
+t
file, but not in the second file. One parameter (http_access) is prese
+nt
in both files, but the value is different. The number in parentheses a
+re
line numbers.

 squid.conf-2.4.7(670) log_ip_on_direct not present in squid.conf-2.4.
+3
 squid.conf-2.4.7(707) referer_log not present in squid.conf-2.4.3
 squid.conf-2.4.7(786) ftp_sanitycheck not present in squid.conf-2.4.3

These lines indicate new parameters in the second file that do not
exist in the first file. This is probably an indication of new functio
+nality
that has been added to Squid in subsequent versions.

=head1 BUGS

The script is only as good as the comments it finds in the configurati
+on
file.
