nginx-cache-purge v1.1.1

nginx-cache-purge

• Gets a list of urls from one or more sitemaps.
• Send a PURGE request to list url's found

Install / Running

From npm

1. npm install -g nginx-cache-purge
2. nginx-cache-purge http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

Run from git clone

1. git clone https://github.com/mistralol/nginx-cache-purge
2. cd nginx-cache-purge && npm install
3. node index.js http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

Server configuration

In order for this to work properly nginx must have the proxy_cache_purge configured correctly. If it does not then this program will not be able to purge the cache. Typical system like debian / ubuntu have this by default when using the nginx-extras package. It has not currently been tested with any other type of server.
