Feature: ECCU wildcard clearing #22

Closed cdenneen closed 9 years ago

cdenneen commented 9 years ago

So ECCU now supports wildcard clearing where as the CCU doesn't (has to be full path). Can this gem be updated to support wildcard remove/invalidate for ECCU function?

Indeed ECCU supports much more features than CCU but it requires to write an XML file. Are you suggesting to implement a command like akamai_api eccu invalidate http://foo.com/*/bar to generate and publish an XML file ?

cdenneen commented 9 years ago

Yes something just like that... so you can use "invalidate" or "remove" (same as ccu) but for eccu which will allow for wildcards like http://foo.com/*/bar or http://foo.com/directory/*

I checked the ECCU documentation.

It's definitely doable, but it's not easy because ECCU doesn't directly support wildcards or regexp. Instead it offers a tag to match all nested directories, a tag to match the file extension, and so on.

Maybe we could start with a dumb implementation, able to match only wildcard in directories.

+1 for this. Having this feature would unblock one of my projects to move away from the http wrapper for ccu api requests.

FYI, from the akamai docs: «Using ECCU applications, Akamai recommends that you limit the number of matches to 250 or fewer—see “ECCU Matches and the purge.data File” on page 6 for a definition of ECCU matches. Submitting more than 250 invalidation requests at one time can result in a “global invalidation” –revalidating all content for that host header» I think this should be added in the readme once the feature is added.

Feature implemented as akamai_api eccu revalidate command and gem released with version 0.4.0. Can you check if it is ok ?
