Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
urlMap

string

Name of the UrlMap scoping this request.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (

00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

).

CacheInvalidationRule

JSON representation 
{
  "path": string,
  "host": string,
  "cacheTags": [
    string
  ]
}
Fields
path

string
host

string

If set, this invalidation rule will only apply to requests with a Host header matching host.
cacheTags[]

string

A list of cache tags used to identify cached objects.

  • Cache tags are specified when the response is first cached, by setting the `Cache-Tag` response header at the origin.
  • Multiple cache tags in the same invalidation request are treated as Boolean `OR` - for example, `tag1 OR tag2 OR tag3`.
  • If other fields are also specified, these are treated as Boolean `AND` with any tags.

Up to 10 tags can be specified in a single invalidation request.
