I'm trying to use squidclient to get some information on the performance of one of our squid boxes. The version is 2.7x. See below.. -- dss-cs99lv02-a:/usr/local/squid/bin # nmap localhost Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2010-05-21 14:16 CDT Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1): (The 1665 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 111/tcp open rpcbind 427/tcp open svrloc 2033/tcp open glogger 2034/tcp open scoremgr 8080/tcp open http-proxy Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.146 seconds dss-cs99lv02-a:/usr/local/squid/bin # ./squidclient -p8080 mgr:5_min HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Server: squid/2.7.STABLE6 Date: Fri, 21 May 2010 19:17:01 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 1229 X-Squid-Error: ERR_INVALID_URL 0 X-Cache: MISS from dss-cs99lv02-a Via: 1.0 dss-cs99lv02-a:8080 (squid/2.7.STABLE6) Connection: close <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <TITLE>ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved</TITLE> <STYLE type="text/css"><!--BODY{background-color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana,sans-serif}PRE{font-family:sans-serif}--></STYLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>ERROR</H1> <H2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</H2> <HR noshade size="1px"> <P> While trying to retrieve the URL: <A HREF="cache_object://localhost.dss.state.la.us/5_min">cache_object://localhost.dss.state.la.us/5_min</A> <P> The following error was encountered: <UL> <LI> <STRONG> Invalid URL </STRONG> </UL> <P> Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect.

Any ideas?
