NAME

6       cachemgr.cgi - Squid HTTP proxy manager CGI web interface
7

SYNOPSIS

9       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi
10

DESCRIPTION

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.
16

CONFIGURATION

18       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in  the
19       Squid FAQ wiki.  http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq
20
21       ./cachemgr.conf
22       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
23              The  access  configuration file defining which Squid servers may
24              be managed via this cachemgr.cgi program. Each line specifies  a
25              server:port followed by an optional description
26
27              The server name may contain shell wildcard characters such as *,
28              [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is  automatically  con‐
29              structed from the simple server names.
30
31              Specifying  :port is optional. If not specified then the default
32              proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any port on the target
33              server.
34

SECURITY

36       cachemgr.cgi  calls  the  requested  server on the requested port using
37       HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
38       is  recommended  to configure your web server to restrict access to the
39       cachemgr.cgi program.
