Try sending an HTTP request with Request-URI you are interested in and
with a "Cache-Control: only-if-cached" header. You should get a 504
(Gateway Timeout) error if the object is missing.

If you prefer to use squidclient, its -H command line option can be used
to send the extra header (do not forget \n though).
