trying to inspect the cache
dear TS,
well I would like to have a look at my cache but I am not able to.
I followed the instructions on http://trafficserver.apache.org/docs/v2/admin/cache.htm#InspectingCache but in vain. It simply does not work.
I also read the posting on http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/trafficserver-users/201007.mbox/browser but still no luck.
the steps I did are :
1.) CONFIG proxy.config.http_ui_enabled INT 1 in records.config
2.) traffic_line -x
3.) in Firefox/3.5.9 (which is configured to use http://myts:8888 as proxy) I've entered http://{cache} -->
"Firefox can't find the server at www.{cache}.com."
I also try without proxy settings. In vain.
I intentially omit
"To access the cache inspector in reverse proxy mode, you must add a remap rule to remap.config to expose the URL.
For example:
map http://yourhost.com/myCI http://{cache} @action=allow @src_ip=corp_internal_address"
because I do not use the cache inspector in reverse proxy mode. Should I ?
My cache seems to be enabled (just using the default setting)
$ ls -lh var/trafficserver/cache.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nogroup 140M 2010-07-28 10:33 var/trafficserver/cache.db
What am I doing wrong ? (using trafficserver-2.1.1-unstable)

thank you Leif ! It works now. I had to pay attention at the slash after "cache_inspector".
If omitted "Your requested URL was not found."
Great !

Yeah, "modern" proxies don't allow that. We need to update the docs for
this, Cc:ing Miles and Diane so that we can file a ticket for this.
(Update: it'd help if I did indeed add the Cc:s here, so resending the
email, sorry about that).
In order to use the cache inspector, we added support so that you can
use it in a reverse proxy mode, using a map rule like
map http://myts:8888/cache_inspector/ http://{cache}
The LHS URL, path etc. doesn't matter, but is what you will use to
access the cache inspector. Note that this could potentially be
dangerous, since anyone could now access the inspector.
