--- Comment #7 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- Squid and varnish use the same purging mechanism. All the class names still say squid for historical reasons. On commons: mediawiki sends a HTCP purge packet on udp to a multicast address (see SquidUpdate).this multicast address goes to all varnish boxes, with a relay server to transfer it across data centers. The vhtcpd deamon on the varnish boxes turn that packet into a normal http PURGE against the varnish on localhost. This setup is a bit finicky and has caused many issues over the years. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
