[squid-users] Invalid URL when trying to access cachemgr

Sat Feb 29 03:11:09 UTC 2020

Hi all,

I have three squid proxies, two of which respond normally to cachemgr 
requests:

# printf "GET cache_object://localhost/info HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc HOSTNAME 
3128

The third proxy however returns an html error page:

	<body id=ERR_INVALID_URL>
	<div id="titles">
	<h1>ERROR</h1>
	<h2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</h2>
	</div>
	<hr>

	<div id="content">
	<p>The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the 
	URL: <a 
	href="cache_object://localhost/info">cache_object://localhost/info</a></p>

I have tried replacing `localhost' with the visible_hostname to no avail.

Does anyone have any clues as to why this may be?

Thanks,
Scott
