sorry about replying all.
"No, a 'ban' only affects objects already in the cache at the time it is
set."
let's see if I understand this correctly:
1. homepage will be cached until a purge comes in
2. purge triggers the ban, which removes the homepage from the cache
3. when homepage is viewed again it is cached, and will be until another
purge comes in?
I think the use of the word 'ban' is what causes my confusion.
I tried adding:
purge("req.host == " req.http.host " && req.url == " ^/magazine-homepage/);
and
ban("req.host == " req.http.host " && req.url == " ^/magazine-homepage/);
as I'm using 3.0, but I kept getting a syntax error. Can you tell me what
I'm doing wrong please.
Thanks
