The data is available using http, requesting URLs on the form

   cache_object://squid-cache:port/action

where action is one of the cachemgr actions. To get a list of actions
leave it blank.

Note: squidclient has a shortcut for such urls using the mgr:action
syntax.

You can also call cachemgr.cgi from your script. It's just a CGI script,
so you only need to set the proper CGI variables (mainly QUERY_STRING I
think, maybe REQUEST_METHOD as well) to have the program do what you
want.
