Directory Purge Skip
You can use different ways to purge the content served by a given CacheFly service, thus leading to a refresh by CacheFly of the content from your origin.
Use Directory Purge Skip to determine the number of directories at the start of a path which are not eligible for directory purge.
To specify the paths to specific objects and to directories for purging, see also the section Purging Objects (PURGE).
