12 The cache manager (cachemgr.cgi) is a CGI utility for displaying sta‐
13 tistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man‐
14 ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics with‐
15 out logging into the server.

20 The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may
21 be managed via this cachemgr.cgi program. Each line specifies a
22 server:port followed by an optional description
23
24 The server name may contain shell wildcard characters such as *,
25 [] etc. A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con‐
26 structed from the simple server names.

28 Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default
29 proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any port on the target
30 server.

34 HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
35 is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the
36 cachemgr.cgi program.
