Righto. Here's my problem. I'm running a redirector for all the commonly-
grabbed files. I want to purge all the half-finished, and full files from
squid. I have a problem when I try to purge FTP's tho:

Escape character is '^]'.
PURGE ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/demos/diablosw.exe HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 501 Cache Detected Error
Content-type: text/html

<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>ERROR</H1>
<H2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</H2>
<HR>
<P>
While trying to retrieve the URL:
<A
HREF="ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/demos/diablosw.exe">ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/
pub/demos/diablosw.exe</A>
<P>
The following error was encountered:
<UL>
<LI><STRONG>Unsupported request</STRONG>
</UL>
<P>This means that:
<PRE>
    This request method is not supported for this protocol.
</PRE>
<P>

<HR>
<ADDRESS>
Generated by squid/1.NOVM.10@proxy.rpi.net.au
</ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>

[Apologies for the large quote]

Am I doing anything wrong? I can purge HTTP requests without a problem
