Cache PURGE Feature

Proxy Server allows PURGE requests to clear the cached URL. If the requested URL is purged successfully, a response with an HTTP status code of 200 (OK) is sent by the server. If the specified URL is not cached, a 404 (Not Found) response is sent.

In the following example, the server returns the value 200

bash-2.03$ telnet localhost 8088
Trying 172.9.10.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
PURGE http://foo.com/ HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Oracle-iPlanet-Proxy-Server/4.0
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:15:30 GMT
Connection: close

In the following example, the server returns the value 404.

Connection closed by foreign host.
bash-2.03$ telnet localhost 8088
Trying 172.9.10.1...

Escape character is '^]'.
