Alternatively, if you're doing this from within an application (java,
perl, whatever), you can open up a connection to the squid server
port and issue the following http request:
PURGE /thedocument HTTP/1.0
Followed by 2 "\n"s.

Hi,
I'm planning to use squid to cache content from a content-rewriting
proxy (running apache).
The proxy sucks content from a live site and replaces specific
text strings.
So, http://proxy.example.com/?id=12345 might map to the site
http://squid-cache.org replacing all instances of the word "squid"
with
"foobar". I want squid to cache this.
Is it possible to manually expire content in the squid cache when
changes are made to the content-rewriting in the proxy?
Basically, I'd like to be able to say something like:
Expire all content containing the query string "id=12345"
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Robin,
You can try with purge tool.This is squid related software.
The purge tool is a kind of magnifying glass into your squid-2 cache.
You can use purge to have a look at what URLs are stored in which file
within your cache. The purge tool can also be used to release objects
which URLs match user specified regular expressions. A more
troublesome
feature is the ability to remove files squid does not seem to know
about
any longer.
Thanks,
