RE: [squid-users] How to purge an object from cache

I did have a simple cgi script to do this, you will need to make a form to
pass it the URL as
http://localhost/cgi-bin/purger.cgi?url=http://website/url.htm
Change the ip/port no as required, also you may need to make changes to
squid.conf to give 'yourself' permissions to purge. This script was on a
secure server - and I did not have to worry about malicious use, so it is
not safe to put on a publicly accessible site.

===========================================
use CGI qw(:standard);
$urltopurge=param("url");
print header();

print "Trying to purge <b>$urltopurge</b><P>";
print "sending command <B>squidclient -v -m PURGE -h 192.168.2.27 -p 8080
$urltopurge</b> to
proxy server<P><HR><b>Server Response:</b><P>";

$result = system ("squidclient -v -m PURGE -h 192.168.2.27 -p 8080
$urltopurge");

print "<hr>";
print "Purger.cgi v1.0 - Tony Melia";
============================================

Regards,
Tony

There is a FAQ entry for this question which refers to a 'client' program
but it I can't find it anywhere on my server. Can somebody tell me where
can I get a copy of the program?

Thanks,
Alvaro
