2019## Ways to access the manager reports
2120
2221Squid packages come with some tools for accessing the cache manager:
23- - [ cachemgr.cgi] ( ./CacheManagerCgi )
24- is a CGI utility for online browsing of the manager reports. It can
25- be configured to interface with multiple proxies so provides a
26- convenient way to manage proxies and view statistics without logging
27- into each server.
2822- [ squidclient] ( /Features/CacheManager/SquidClientTool )
2923 is a command line utility for performing web requests. It also has a
3024 special ability to send cache manager requests to Squid proxies.
3125- [ CacheMgrJs] ( ./CacheMgrJs ) is a javascript-based tool
3226 being developed as an alternative to the CGI tool
27+ - (deprecated) [ cachemgr.cgi] ( ./CacheManagerCgi )
28+ is a CGI utility for online browsing of the manager reports. It can
29+ be configured to interface with multiple proxies so provides a
30+ convenient way to manage proxies and view statistics without logging
31+ into each server.
