Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.My site is sitting behind Akamai, with images cached on the edge for 7 days. This works great, except manual intervention is required if a preset or image is flushed. I've added a couple of hook invocations to the preset and image flush functions so that my Akamai module can send a SOAP request to Akamai to clear the flushed images from the cache. I can imagine this would be useful for anyone running imagecache behind a reverse proxy with aggressive caching rules for images. Attached is a very simple patch.

drewish commentedthis would need to happen in the D6 version and then be backported to D5.

Comment #3
drewish commentedThis looks like a great addition, sorry it got ignored. The one thing that it needs is documentation of the hooks in imagecache.api.php.

tomchuk commentedSorry, I'm stuck in d5 land so am quite unfamiliar with *.api.php files, but have done my best in the attached patch. Applies against 6.x-2.x-dev from May 8.
