NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager interface

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  cache  manager  (cachemgr.cgi)  is  a  CGI  utility for displaying
       statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as  it  runs.  The  cache
       manager  is  a  convenient  way to manage the cache and view statistics
       without logging into the server.

FILES

       ./cachemgr.conf
       @DEFAULT_CACHEMGR_CONFIG@
              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
              constructed 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.

       Configuration  examples for many common web servers can be found in the
       Squid FAQ.
