klarlack

Klarlack is a ruby client library for the varnish administration interface.

See also: www.varnish-cache.org

Please note: You need at least version 2.0.3 of varnish for purging to work.

Installation (from gemcutter.org)

sudo gem install klarlack

Example

Lets purge all blog posts from the cache…

require 'rubygems'
require 'klarlack'

varnish = Varnish::Client.new '127.0.0.1:6082'
# the regexp is not a ruby regexp, just a plain string varnishd understands
varnish.purge :url, "^/posts/.*"

In a Rails app, you might want to use use this in a cache sweeper.

Specs

Start up a local varnishd with -T 127.0.0.1:6082. Then run

spec spec

TODO

  • Support authentication when varnishd is started with -S

  • Make parameter manipulation/display more friendly

WTF?
