Hi all,
I just wanted to ask, how I can use PURGE on a proxy-farm standing
behind Carp-proxies? I know that there is the Multicast option, but
this
is quite complicated to accomplish in our current network set-up.
If I send the PURGE-request to the Carp-proxies, will it reach the
correct proxy?
Thanks and regards,
Markus
PURGE will only affect the individual proxy to which you send it. It is
not relayed.
To do a removal from a whole cluster or hierarchy use HTCP. The HTCP
CLR packet is equivalent to PURGE, but is much faster gets passed around
the cluster. Each proxy has an htcp_clr_access directive to control
whether it will accept CLR or ignore (default is to ignore).
I'm not aware of any publicly available tools which send HTCP though.
I'd kind of like squidclient to get an upgrade. Patches welcome.
