>From your description, I cannot immediately see what has gone wrong. You say that the URL list is at the top of the Purge section above the default values and this is the correct order to place them. The URL specification does not need to be <http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/*> because when use-url=no is set then it is the root URL of the server that is looked up and used as the age for all pages on the server. By testing this on my cache (after disabling deleting of files in purge.c) I have been unable to replicate this problem. By setting use-url=no and either URLs like <http://www1.foo/> and <http://www2.foo/*> none of the pages on either host were deleted. Are you sure that you do not have any options like use-url=yes or age=... above the list of URLs that you have set up specifically? Do the images that you are trying to keep really come from the server eol.jsc.nasa.gov and not from another server with a redirection from the original location? -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
