There's a program that comes with squid when you compile it called
cachemgr.cgi - put that in your webserver's cgi-bin, and change the acl's
to allow access to the squid statistics from your webserver. How to do
this is all in the documentation somewhere, but I'm not entirely sure
where.. :) (I can't find it atm) You may want to check the squid FAQ at
