#!/bin/sh

# A simple shell script to delete a media from Apache's mod_disk_cache.
# You will likely need to setup a sudo rule like the following:
#
# Cmnd_Alias HTCACHECLEAN = /usr/local/sbin/htcacheclean
# pleroma ALL=HTCACHECLEAN, NOPASSWD: HTCACHECLEAN

SCRIPTNAME=${0##*/}

# mod_disk_cache directory
CACHE_DIRECTORY="/tmp/pleroma-media-cache"

## Removes an item via the htcacheclean utility
## $1 - the filename, can be a pattern .
## $2 - the cache directory.
purge_item() {
    sudo htcacheclean -v -p "${2}" "${1}"
} # purge_item

purge() {
  for url in $@
  do
    echo "$SCRIPTNAME delete \`$url\` from cache ($CACHE_DIRECTORY)"
    purge_item "$url" $CACHE_DIRECTORY
  done
}

purge $@
