SYNOPSIS
http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi
DESCRIPTION
The cache manager ( cachemgr.cgi ) is a CGI utility for displaying sta-
tistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics with-
out logging into the server.
CONFIGURATION
Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the
Squid FAQ wiki. http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
./cachemgr.conf
/etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may
be managed via this cachemgr.cgi program. Each line specifies a
server:port followed by an optional description
The server name may contain shell wildcard characters such as *,
[] etc. A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
structed from the simple server names.
Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default
proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any port on the target
server.
SECURITY
cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using
HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the
cachemgr.cgi program.
