The Vary: header is why your PURGE is not doing anything. It means you have to find and send in the exactly right value for Accept-Encoding, in order for PURGE to find and erase the actual object. The request *not* having an Accept-Encoding header is one of the possible variations of values. In particular it is the one which is foudn to already be absent from your cache by your PURGE command. This is where that quoted string up top of the object file comes in. What is cached on disk is the object for: squidclient -m PURGE -p 3129 -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\n' The purge tool has not been updated in some years and does not support these types of variant commonly found in HTTP/1.1 traffic.
