Hi,

We're having trouble getting our heavily customized backend to purge changed pages automatically from Varnish.

As a workaround, I would like to enable CMS editors to call content with a postfixed string to purge it. Like this: www.website.com/index.html$PURGE

That should purge index.html from the cache.

I'm stumped on how to extract the original url from that request, though. I got this far:

sub vcl_recv {
  if (req.url ~ "\$PURGE$") {
    $original_url = some magic code to strip "$PURGE" from req.url
    set req.x-purge = 1;
    set req.url = $original_url;
  }
}

sub vcl_hit {
  if (req.x-purge == 1) {
    purge;
    error 200 "Purged";
  }
}

sub vcl_miss {
  if (req.x-purge == 1) {
    error 404 "Page not in cache";
  }
}

Is this the right way to go about it, and can somebody supply the rather essential missing piece?
