And what about when it's an accelerator? Polluting the site's URL space isn't so great...

I like the idea of making it vanilla HTTP, but it needs to be configurable on a different port/interface.

I'm thinking about adding some functionality to cache manager that

password);

AFAICT the @password suffix on the URL is deprecated; cachemgr.cgi and
squidclient both now use Basic auth.

What do folks think about removing support for @password in URLs?


I think we should be making it a standardized URI format same as HTTP, but
with a different protocol portion to identify.

That way the proper URI parse can be used and the special case tests
dropped.

I'd go a different route, deprecating cache_object entirely (my past
cachemgr work has this as a possible outcome too).
[http://<cfg.visible_hostname>]/squid-internal-cachemgr/<menu>
is imo a good candidate as an "application root".
