Squid.conf (how to access, if any)

I noticed that the web-proxy is an implementation of Squid. Is there a way to access squid.conf (if any)?

My problem: the acl in Mikrotik ONLY support IP Address while on Squid, I can use DST-DOMAIN instead of IP address ( eg: dst-domain .mikrotik.com).
It is very difficult to work with IP address for domain which have huge block of IP (eg. microsoft.com)

Thanks for any info.

you can not change any configuration for web-proxy.
I suggest you to use web-proxy test package, there will be dst-host and path parameteres:
http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/ip/proxy||0.44928588719438395
Right now, it lacks accessing via Winbox (GUI).

However, you may use old ‘/ip proxy’, it is similar to new test package, but old one do not provide caching.

Thanks for the hints. Further question:

Is web-proxy-test stable enough for operation?
can both web-proxy and web-proxy-test co-exist in one machine?

Thanks.

test packages works fine for us, right now there is not GUI (Winbox) support for web-proxy test.
no, only one web-proxy package can be installed (web-proxy, web-proxy test).

You might be able to access squid.conf by using SLAX linux or some CD based OS. It’s possible to browse the system drive in v 2.8 in this manner. Maybe the MT guys have changed it though to be different.
