Purge Mode
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 Purge Mode to adjust the behavior of the purge system for the service, by choosing one of the following:
No purge (purge is disabled)
Exact purging only (a purge of a specific object)
Full directory purge (a recursive purge on everything in a specified directory.)
You can change Purge Mode for individual CacheFly services. See more on creating and managing a service.
To specify the paths to specific objects and to directories for purging, see also the section Purging Objects.
