[squid-users] Squidcllient making request

[John Pearson]

Thanks Amos! It works.

New problem:
I am checking whether a url (object) is cached or not by using:

squidclient -p 3129 $url | fgrep X-Cache

I am getting a lot of messy code and when I quit (CRTL-C), squid logs are
showing TCP_HIT_ABORTED.

How can I not get the messy code and just get the result of fgrep.

Thanks
