POHow do I make Varnish purge all variants of a URL?

Body
copied!<p>Varnish 2.1: I'm trying to use http PURGE to get Varnish to renew one cached URL.</p> <p>While testing, I would get results that seemed strange until I read this bit in the documentation: "If there are several variants of the same URL in the cache however, only the matching variant will be purged. To purge a gzip variant of the same page the request would have to look like this:"</p> <p>So now if I do these two commands:</p> <pre><code>curl -I http://example.com/my-url curl -X PURGE http://example.com/my-url </code></pre> <p>I get back a 200 Purged response.</p> <p>And if I do these two:</p> <pre><code>curl -I http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" curl -X PURGE http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" </code></pre> <p>I also get a 200 Purged.</p> <p>Now if I try:</p> <pre><code>curl -I http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: deflate" </code></pre> <p>I get back headers that indicate that the Content-Encoding: is "text/html;charset=utf-8", and it has age in the cache. That seems to indicate that "deflate" isn't being supported by my app, which is probably correct.</p> <p>The page also has an Age: header indicating that it's being cached.</p> <p>Now how do I purge that? (Am I asking a moot question?)</p> <p>All of these attempts return "404 Not in cache":</p> <pre><code>curl -X PURGE http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: deflate" curl -X PURGE http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: text/html;charset=utf-8" curl -X PURGE http://example.com/my-url -H "Accept-Encoding: text/html" </code></pre> <p>Is there a magic way to purge all of the variants of a URL?</p>
