Aim

This repo minimally reproduces the problem described in GitHub issue

Usage

1. Get the proxy and test backend app up and running:

   docker compose up -d
   docker compose logs -f

2. Create 100 cache items in the proxy cache:

   for ((i=0;i<100;++i))
   do
     curl "http://localhost/category/cat-${i}" && echo
   done

3. Purge all cache items under /category using:

   docker compose exec proxy nginx-cache-purge p /cache 1:2 '/category/*'

4. List all cache items using:

   docker compose exec proxy ls /cache

You should see that NOT all the cache items under /category have been purged.
