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
     /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  selec-
          tion  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.
