vcl_miss and purge question

[Rangel, Raul]

You need it in the vcl_miss because you need to clear our Very objects as well.

Subject: vcl_miss and purge question

Using varnish 3. Our configuration works but when I was putting it together, I was learning from docs and blog posts. I have:

sub vcl_hit {
  # 'manual' purge
  if (req.request == "PURGE") {
    purge;
    error 200 "Purged.";
  }
}

sub vcl_miss {
  # 'manual' purge
  if (req.request == "PURGE") {
    purge;
    error 404 "Not in cache.";
  }
}

Does the purge in vcl_miss need to be there?
Could it just be:

sub vcl_miss {
  # 'manual' purge
  if (req.request == "PURGE") {
    error 404 "Not in cache.";
  }
}

?

Thanks,
Sean
