I am using squid server to cache the zip files , so that next time user looks for same zip file, it can be downloaded from squid cache. Now I am facing a problem like , I want to remove individual zip file from squid cache. I tried to achieve this by using -m PURGE option in squidclient. I have added permissions in squid conf . But I am always getting a 404 Not Found , but right after executing this command , if I try to download the same file , I am getting a TCP_HIT also , that means file is till in cache. Could some body tell me what's wrong on my side.

Only EXACT same URL the user used to request it will PURGE. There may be
others things like Vary: header needed also, but with FTP mid-squid
translation of the protocol its anybodies guess.
