[squid-users] Cache Manager (cachemgr.cgi) with IIS version 10 as web server

[Francesco Chemolli]

Hi Yvon,
   the good news is, you don't really need cachemgr.cgi; it offers little
value by now, and in fact it will be removed in squid 7.

You can use any regular web browser (or curl or any other command line
tool) pointing at the URL:

http://
<adminuser:adminpassword>@<squid_hostname>:<squidport>/squid-internal-mgr/menu
