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 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.

CONFIGURATION

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

       ./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 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.
