In some cases I've had situations where I've run a batch update on content, and have gone over the cache threshold which prevents cache from being cleared automatically.

It's not always possible to run drush ap-forget as I might not have access to the server via a terminal at that point.

What I would like to be able to do in this cache is to be able to login to Acquia, clear the varnish cache for the site, then be able to run the equivalent of drush ap-forget using the web UI, this means I now know all content is up to date, and any changes to content will immediately be made live.

So requesting a way to run the equivalent of drush ap-forget using the web interface if possible.

Hey!,

Thank you for this suggestion, I can see this as being useful sometimes... I added a button named Clear the Acquia Purge queue on Drupal's performance page, which is the logic place to add this in my opinion.

I've just committed it and it will become part of version 7.x-1.4-beta2 as soon as it is released!

Thank you!,

Niels

Hey Niels thanks a lot for this. Just gave it a test out, all works nicely! Is it possible for this to be added to the Drupal 8 Acquia Purge also if you have a chance.
