🔗 cache_object:// URI Scheme

• This Feature has been removed in Squid-6.

The cache_object is the URI scheme which can be used to access the Cache Manager. The scheme specific part is defined as below:

• cache_object://hostname/request@password
  • hostname - server where the target Cache Manager resides.
  • request - name of the action that should be executed.
  • password - pass-phrase for access-controlled actions.

If request is not specified, the default is menu, which will enumerate all available actions. The password is only required for pages that require it.

Squid-3.1 and later all accept HTTP Basic authentication credentials instead of a URL-based password. Use the WWW-Authenticate: header to pass the password.

Squid-4 and later serve Cache Manager contents through the http://hostname/squid-internal-mgr URL-prefix.

🔗 Examples

• cache_object://localhost/ - refers the menu action.
• cache_object://machineA/info - refers the info action at machineA.
• cache_object://10.1.2.3/config@badpass - points to the config action using the badpass pass-phrase.
