Document API call to drop the entire cache

[rudolfbyker]

It would be very useful to have an API call to drop the entire cache. I would like to do that when deploying a new version of the app, because on every build, all JS and CSS files get new names (build hash), and the cached HTML in rendertron will still try to load the old JS files, resulting in a broken page. When a JS-aware bot hits such a page, it will fail to execute the JS.

Hey @rudolfbyker

There is an API endpoint for this already, looks like it's not documented.

GET /invalidate

So basically the same as the documented api to remove a specific url, just without the /<url> bit

[rudolfbyker]

Does the /invalidate endpoint also work with some kind of wildcard?

In general, as we're deprecating the project, you should look into alternative approaches to rendering on the web.
