Hi Amos, Thanks a lot for your help . I used "ftp://test123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/tools/patches/myfile.zip"; URL because in squid log , I am seeing this 1216310397.416 9508 127.0.0.1 TCP_HIT/200 6500407 GET ftp://test123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/tools/patches/myfile.zip - NONE/- application/zip . that's the reason why I used the above url in PURGE . From web application. it's a POST request which is translated by web application to ftp request. I am sorry that I didn't understand what you are referring by "others things like Vary: header needed also, but with FTP mid-squid translation of the protocol its anybodies guess" , could you please explain this .
