cache purge

[Johan Bergström]

Hey,
while you're patching - please update the example as well. We found (a while ago, sorry for not letting you know) that since location matches "omits" args from $1, we need to add it again. proper example should be:
       location ~ /purge(/.*) {
           allow 127.0.0.1;
           deny all;
           proxy_cache_purge tmpcache $1$is_args$args; 
       }
