cachemgr.cgi(8)		    System Manager's Manual	       cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME
       cachemgr.cgi - Squid HTTP proxy manager CGI web interface

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

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

CONFIGURATION
       Configuration  examples for many	common web servers can be found	in the
       Squid FAQ wiki.	https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq

       ./cachemgr.conf
       /usr/local/etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
	      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  con-
	      structed 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.
