RE: [squid-users] How to purge an object from cache

Alvaro:

run the command 'find / -name squidclient -print'

With squid-2.5.STABLE3-20030602 on a Linux box it was in /usr/local/squid/bin

Note: the program name is squidclient not client (I'm not sure when it got changed).

Thanks Tony for your prompt reply. I think I'll give your solution a
try. However, solution in the FAQ entry I referred to before is as
simple as 'client -m PURGE http://urltopurge' (FAQ 7.5 I think) I've
been unable to make it work though, despite I modified my squid.conf
file according to the FAQ. I get an error 'access deny' so I guess
there's something I'm missing from squid.conf.

Regards,
Alvaro
