NAME

6       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager 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

FILES

18       ./cachemgr.conf
19       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
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.
27
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.
31

SECURITY

33       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on  the  requested  port  using
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.
37
38       Configuration  examples for many common web servers can be found in the
39       Squid FAQ.
