Delete Files from GAE

[phrozen77]

Hi,

Got a file "stuck" on GAE with an expiry date of mid-August that i've
already deleted from the datastore 3 or 4 days ago but it is still
being served on request. Problem is, the .js itself contains a wrong
path causing lots of 404 errors in the webserver log and due to the
error also causes some functionality to not work :(

So, since the .js is no longer in the datastore list, i obviously
can't delete it anymore and if i wait till it expires - well, that's
still more than 2 weeks to wait :/

Do you have an idea how i could clear (all?) files from the datastore
(which i kinda already did with the webinterface, other static
resources like pictures have then been re-requested by cirruxcache)
and purge any eventual caches (memcached?) they have?

Hi,

I think there is still a bug on the purging webservice, I think the
object remains in memcache. Until I find a fix and release it in the
next version, you could try to flush the object manually by doing a
request using curl like this:

$ curl -X DELETE http://your.domain.tld/path/to/file.js

After that, you can also try to flush memcached objects to ensure
getting rid of any stale content:

$ curl -X DELETE http://your.domain.tld/<base url>/__ALL__\?memcache

You should receive the message "Memcache flushed.".

Let me know about that.

Best,

Samuel

Hm, where would i do that though?

Just from my normal, local shell?

When i do that, i get "Forbidden" for the first command and "None" for
the second :(

You need to explicitly authorized your IP to send DELETE request.

To do that, fill the variable named "allowFlushFrom" to your IP
following the form below:
allowFlushFrom = ['x.x.x.x']

(replace with your public ip from whatismyip.com for instance).

You can read http://code.google.com/p/cirruxcache/wiki/PoP for more details.

Yes the commands need to be executed from your local shell ;)

Try to do it, and if you fail, please copy/paste your app.py config
(only PoP section will be enough, adding your url mapping), and the
executed curl commands.

Let me know.

Yay, that did the trick - i think this is a topic for the FAQ :)

Unfortunately not yet, but I plan to add in the next release. Keep in touch :-)

Let me know if you have another idea to implement.

I have edgecast a/c and don't mind giving you access ;)


Another ideas...

We pass file to delete controller
http://appname.appspot.com/DELETE/path/to/file.js

Lengthy and hard work but furusitic...once for all!
Creating restful API
API keys placed in config file
