Varnish File Purge
This module ensures that Varnish correctly purges cached files when they are updated or replaced, especially in multi-domain Varnish setups. It resolves issues where older files might be served after updates by directly managing file purges for Varnish.
The Varnish file purger is a new Drupal project developed to address compatibility issues between the Varnish Purge and Purge File modules, especially in setups where files are served across multiple domains. In scenarios involving the file_replace module, these existing modules did not effectively handle file purging, leading to stale file caches being served by Varnish.
The Varnish file purger module simplifies the integration, ensuring that file purges work seamlessly across various domains. It directly manages purging of replaced or updated files, making it compatible with multi-domain configurations and solving the setup issues that arise when using Varnish with the file_replace module.
