Yes they should. Likewise the newer cachemgr.cgi should work as well with older Squid. The tool and Squid are explicitly being kept both forward and backward compatible.


But be aware that cachemgr.cgi older than 3.5.17 may be vulnerable to
<http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2016_5.txt>- which means they cannot safely handle some reports (as listed in the advisory).

And if you are talking *very* old CGI version maybe <http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2012_1.txt> as well, which is somewhat worse.
