DESCRIPTION

       squidclient  is  a tool providing a command line interface for retrieving URLs.  Designed for testing any
       HTTP 0.9, 1.0, or 1.1 web server or proxy.  This tool can be combined with scripts to perform  any  basic
       HTTP  operation.   Some  additional  features  for  access to the squid proxy object cache and management
       information are provided.

OPTIONS

       -a          Do NOT include Accept: header.

       -A 'string' Send string as User-Agent: header. To omit the header completely set string to empty ('').

       -g count    Ping mode, perform count iterations (0 to loop until interrupted).

       -h host     Retrieve URL from cache on hostname.  Default is localhost

       -H 'string' Extra headers to send. Use '0 for new lines.

       -i time     If-Modified-Since time (in Epoch seconds).

       -I interval Ping interval in seconds (default 1 second).

       -j hosthdr  Host header content

       -k          Keep the connection active. Default is to do only one request then close.

       -l host     Specify a local IP address to bind to.  Default is none.

                   can  use that to purge a specific URL from the cache.  You need to have purge access setup in
                   squid.conf similar to manager
                    access. Here is an example:
                   acl purge method PURGE
                   http_access deny purge !localhost

       -n          Proxy Negotiate(Kerberos) authentication.
                   Use kinit username@DOMAIN first to get initial TGS.

       -N          WWW Negotiate(Kerberos) authentication.
                   Use kinit username@DOMAIN first to get initial TGS.

       -p port     Port number of cache.  Default is 3128.

       -P file     Request body. Using the named file as data.

       -r          Force cache to reload URL.

       -s          Silent.  Do not print data to stdout.

       -t count    Trace

                   HTTP relay or proxy hops
