Varnish Purging with URL in browser

[Roberto O. Fernández Crisial]

Hi!

I think you're looking for something like this, in your VCL (vcl_recv):

        if (req.url ~ ".*\?purge=true$")
        {
                set req.http.X-Purge = regsub( req.url, "(.*)\?purge=true$",
"\1" );
                purge_url(req.http.X-Purge);
        }

I hope this helps you!

Regards,
Roberto O. Fernández Crisial.
