This plugin in base on ngx\_cache\_purge-1.4

P.S: This plugin current will blocking web request, now is only for  
test. I cannot found a method to make nginx run a new thread.

Usage:  
location ~ ^/regex\_purge(/.\*) {  
proxy\_cache\_batchpurge cache\_zone $1$is\_args$args;  
}

download: [http://m-b.cc/share/ngx\_batch\_purge-0.1.tgz](http://m-b.cc/share/ngx_batch_purge-0.1.tgz)

Hey,

I know you’ve got good intentions, but this module will kill your box.

> I cannot found a method to make nginx run a new thread.

Just fork() the worker process.

I have tried for this, but when done the first time, it will have some  
error for next. I Have thinking for spawn a process at startup or  
using nginx cache manager process to do this.
