quant purge
Purge cached content from QuantCDN by URL path or cache key. Use it after manual cache-affecting changes; quant deploy already purges paths it touches.
Synopsis
Section titled “Synopsis”quant purge [path] [options]You must pass either path or --cache-keys, but not both.
Description
Section titled “Description”Removes cached responses from the edge. By default a purge deletes the cached object so the next request fetches fresh content. With --soft-purge, the cached object is marked stale rather than deleted — useful when origin issues mean serving stale content is preferable to serving errors.
For background on cache keys versus paths, see purging using cache keys.
