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.
       https://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.
