Through traffic control we have the limited ability for CDN customers to add revalidation requests. Unfortunately there are times when assets need to be revalidated multiple times due to whatever reason.
The way regex_revalidate works now it is first rule wins, meaning that once a rule (regex) is loaded any attempts to reissue that rule again is ignored. To work better with this self service case I’d like to propose that when regex revalidate sees a new rule with a changed expiration that this new rule’s expiration time becomes the new expiration time and the activation time is reset to this new load time. I think it would be best to add some parameter to regex_revalidate so that it works in this way. Any comments? Thanks!
