I have ATS 7.1 setup as a reverse proxy for a Drupal-Managed Website. My Drupal Development Team wants to use a feature called Cache Tags (https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/api/cache-api/cache-tags-varnish ) that is designed specifically for Varnish.
The Drupal system would send a Request with method ‘BAN’ to the ATS servers expecting the ATS servers to read the X-Cache-Tags headers (a list of pages to not cache) and have ATS do the following: 1. Purge the ATS cache of any of the items in the X-Cache-Tags list 2. Dynamically update a list of ‘Never Cache’ to the items in the X-Cache-Tag list. 3. Remove these four headers from origin responses before sending the response to the requestor: X-Url, X-Host, X-Cache-Tags, X-Cache-Contexts (can do this with the headers plugin) So I have a few questions. Can I setup a method called ‘BAN’ on the ATS servers? I think I can use the headers plugin and possibly a lua script to do the purging and update the cache.config file. If I can get the ‘BAN’ method to be accepted by ATS. I am pretty new to extending ATS with lua. Any help is appreciated.
