Re: using the cache manager

You need to use ACL's to allow:
    * manager access to the box where the cgi is running.
    * http access to it,
    * miss access to it (the one that I forgot, myself).

And don't cram all your ACL's on one line:

http_access allow localhost internal_lan external_lan

won't work the way you want. List each one on a separate line...they are
ANDed together.
