RabbitMQ HTTP API - Purge based on queue

[cw storm]

I'm wondering if it's possible to purge all messages based on certain
queue names using rabbitmq http api service. If not, maybe writing a
shell script using rabbitmqadmin command line perhaps? Any suggestion
or recommendation is greatly appreciated it.

Thanks,
Phil

With rabbitmqadmin.py:

./rabbitmqadmin.py purge queue name=your_queue

using the HTTP API (use DELETE Method not GET):

http://localhost:15672/api/queues/%2f/your_queue/contents
