[Question]How to purge cache obejects by a url pattern?

[xq2248]

The answer of ChatGPT:
traffic_ctl cacheurl flush http://example.com/abc/*
traffic_ctl cacheurl flush ^https?://([^:/?])(:[0-9])?(/[0-9a-zA-Z]{32}

[myhost@localhost ~]$ traffic_ctl cacheurl flush http://example.com/abc/*
Error: No subcommand found for traffic_ctl

It does not work.

If you want to delete single object (not pattern):

If you want to use regex:

The cache inspector was removed in ATS 10 (PR #10710). For purging cached objects:

• Single URL: Use the PURGE HTTP method (see Removing an Object From the Cache)
• Pattern/regex: The cache_scan example plugin in example/plugins/c-api/cache_scan/ can iterate cache entries and delete by pattern
• Offline: traffic_cache_tool has a scan mode for inspecting cache contents
