A easier method is to use squidclient to get the data. It doesn't do the
same pretty formatting into HTML as cachemgr.cgi does, but it gives you
access to exacly the same data from Squid.

squidclient mgr:

gives the menu of available cachemgr screens.

squidclient mgr:info

the general runtime information screen

etc for the other actions in the menu..

cachemgr.cgi is a CGI, so it accepts form input like any other CGI. So
to get the general runtime information screen you can run

  env METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING="server=localhost&operation=info" /usr/local/squid/libexec/cachemgr.cgi

to get the pretty formatted cachemgr.cgi HTML output, including HTTP
headers..
