No, the semantics are completely different. With HTTP PURGE, you do a direct cache lookup, and set the object's TTL to 0 if it exists. With url.purge, you add an entry to a ban list, and every time an object is looked up in the cache, it is checked against all ban list entries that have arrived since the last time. This is the only way to implement regexp purging efficiently.
