[SOLVED] squidclient

bellera · Apr 8, 2014, 5:33 PM

Tested with squid3-dev 3.3.10 pkg 2.2.1 & 2.2.2

I wanted to use squidclient for viewing delay_pools monitoring:

squidclient mgr:delay | less

I had to indicate my LAN address because I haven't activated squid for localhost address:

squidclient -h 192.168.0.1 mgr:delay | less

squidclient -h 192.168.0.1 cache_object://delay

http://192.168.0.1:3128/squid-internal-mgr/

However, I got a denied response. Here is the beginning of the header:

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Server: squid/3.3.10
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2014 11:58:12 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 3260
X-Squid-Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED 0

squidclient is working correctly because if I put something like:

squidclient -h 192.168.0.1 http://www.google.com

I got the page.

I think I need some more permission at squid.conf, but I can't see which one.

squid_ng.xml have code related to activate cachemgr.cgi but I can't find this option at the WebGUI.
