vmod_purge - Varnish Purge Module
import purge [as name] [from "path"] INT hard() INT soft(DURATION ttl, DURATION grace, DURATION keep)
vmod_purge contains functions that offer a finer-grained control than return(purge) from vcl_recv{}. The functions can only be called from vcl_hit{} or vcl_miss{} and they should in general be used in both to ensure that all variants of a same object are taken care of.
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.method == "PURGE") {
if (client.ip !~ purge_acl) {
return (synth(405));
}
return (hash);
}
}
sub my_purge {
set req.http.purged = purge.hard();
if (req.http.purged == "0") {
return (synth(404));
}
else {
return (synth(200));
}
}
sub vcl_hit {
if (req.method == "PURGE") {
call my_purge;
}
}
sub vcl_miss {
if (req.method == "PURGE") {
call my_purge;
}
}
sub vcl_synth {
if (req.method == "PURGE") {
if (req.http.purged) {
set resp.http.purged = req.http.purged;
}
return (deliver);
}
}
This is equivalent to return(purge) but explicitly called from vcl_hit{} and vcl_miss{}. It returns the number of purged objects.
Example:
set req.http.purged = purge.hard();
INT soft(DURATION ttl=0, DURATION grace=-1, DURATION keep=-1)
Sets the ttl, grace and keep.
By default, ttl is set to 0 with grace and keep periods left untouched. Setting a negative value for grace or keep periods leaves them untouched. Setting all three parameters to 0 is equivalent to a hard purge. It can only be called from vcl_hit{} or vcl_miss{}. It returns the number of soft-purged objects.
