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 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.

FILES
       ./cachemgr.conf
       @DEFAULT_CACHEMGR_CONFIG@
	      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.

       Configuration  examples for many common web servers can be found in the
       Squid FAQ.
