Hi,  
I am using Nginx 1.0.10 and purge module 1.4. But i have a problem with  
clear cache.

Example:  
[http://myserver/test.html](http://myserver/test.html) → can clear cache with  
[http://myserver/purge/test.html](http://myserver/purge/test.html)

[http://myserver/](http://myserver/) → can not clear cache  
[http://myserver/news/](http://myserver/news/) → can not clear cache

Anybody help me how to do that.

Thanks.

You are trying to clear whole directories recursively…  
Are you sure the purge module is capable of doing that?  
From reading the README, it seems to only handle files…

What exactly are you trying to do and what is your configuration?

Hi,  
I don’t want to clear directories. I mean, clear a URL without .html.  
[http://myserver/](http://myserver/) is home page.  
[http://myserver/news/](http://myserver/news/) is a URL

How to clear these link with purge module?

Thanks,
