How to clear the cache?

[stefanos82]

Is there a way to clear the cache for either an individual feed or all feeds at once?

I do not get what you mean with cache? Do you want to forget all feed headlines? Or do you want to do something else?

When we right-click on a feed to Update, there are cases where some feed articles are cached and we cannot pull new updates:

< HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
< Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1689535604
< Soup-Debug: SoupMessage 6 (0x5595774d9c60)
< Server: nginx
< Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2023 19:26:44 GMT
< Connection: keep-alive
< ETag: "30af7753a5f7fe9063705497e124e6a2"
< Vary: Accept-Encoding,Cookie
< X-Powered-By: PleskLin

I have had cases where an article had typos and the author of that feed fixed them but due to the aforementioned message, I could see the old article with typos and could not fetch the updated one.

It would be really useful to have something like Firefox's web tools that have a Disable cache button or a clear cache button to force each feed to pull all data anew.

Ah you want to disable "Last Modified" and "Etag" timestamp handling. This is actually done upon each startup, so the first fetch of a feed is actually an "uncached" fetch.

Let's say the startup handling is a compulsory behavior; it would be handy to have the manual option too, just in case like in my aforementioned situation.

@stefanos82 I understand you use case and it makes sense. At the same time I do only have resource to support one (already complex) use case as is implemented right now.

No worries :+1:
