[dev] [jira] [Commented] (LIBCLOUD-267) Support for CDN purges

["Tomaz Muraus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-267?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13509540#comment-13509540 ] 

Tomaz Muraus commented on LIBCLOUD-267:
---------------------------------------

I've added this functionality as an extension method in trunk - http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=r1416790.

Keep in mind that I've added this feature reluctantly, because it's not even documented in the Rackspace CloudFiles API documentation -http://docs.rackspace.com/files/api/v1/cf-devguide/content/Purge_CDN-Enabled_Containers_or_Objects-d1e2747.html.

I assume the reason for not documenting it is, that it puts extra load on the CDN provider and people could abuse it...
