       squidclient -- a simple HTTP web client

SYNOPSIS
       squidclient  [-arsv] [-g count] [-h remote-host] [-H 'string'] [-i IMS]
       [-I ping-interval] [-j 'Host-header'] [-l local-host] [-m  method]  [-p

DESCRIPTION
       squidclient is a tool providing a command line interface for retrieving
       URLs.   Designed	 for  testing  any HTTP 0.9, 1.0, or 1.1 web server or
       proxy.  This tool can be combined with scripts  to  perform  any	 basic
       HTTP operation.	Some additional features for access to the Squid proxy
       object cache and management information are provided.

OPTIONS
       -a     Do NOT include Accept: header.

       -g count
	      Ping mode, perform count iterations  (0  to  loop	 until	inter‐
	      rupted).

       -h host
	      Retrieve URL from cache on hostname.  Default is localhost.

       -H 'string'
	      Extra headers to send. Use '\n' for new lines.

       -i time
	      If-Modified-Since time (in Epoch seconds).

       -I interval
	      Ping interval in seconds (default 1 second).

       -m method

	      dard method called PURGE. You can use that to purge  a  specific
	      URL  from	 the  cache.   You  need to have purge access setup in
	      squid.conf similar to manager access. Here is an example:
		    acl purge method PURGE
		    http_access deny purge !localhost

       -p port
	      Port number of cache.  Default is 3128.

       -P file
	      PUT request. Using the named file.

       -r     Force cache to reload URL.

       -s     Silent.  Do not print data to stdout.

       -t count
	      Trace count cache-hops

       -T timeout
	      Timeout value (seconds) for read/write operations.

       -u user
	      Proxy authentication username

       -U user
	      WWW authentication username

       -v     Verbose. Print outgoing message to stderr.
