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.
