Hi there,

I tried to use ngx\_cache\_purge with the configuration below  
location ~ /purge(/.\*) {  
allow 127.0.0.1;  
deny all;  
proxy\_cache\_purge one backend$request\_uri;  
}

```
location ~* ^.+\.(css|js)$ {
    proxy_pass http://backend;
    proxy_cache two;
    proxy_cache_key backend$request_uri;
    proxy_cache_valid 200 1h;
    proxy_cache_valid 404 1m;

```

Then when I tried to open by browser with url  
[http://myurl/purge/style.css](http://myurl/purge/style.css), it’s saying Page not Found (404)

Is there any something I’ve missed?

the url will only work if requested from the server itself…
