I don't. I like SNMP for machine reading, and I don't see SNMP stick
it's fingers more into the Squid code than the cache_object class of
functions, only differently.

The stats pages are raw text, not HTML. cachemgr.cgi translates it to
HTML using very simple rules. But the thing with the stat pages is that
they are intended to be read by a human, not a computer.
