Problem/Motivation

Our purge queue is being overwhelmed (has risen to 80k+).

What can I do to reduce the usage? There used to be an "ignore" option for paths like /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml that are constantly spammed. I think I remember it in Drupal 8, but maybe 7? I suspect that this sort of traffic is what's causing the purge queue to fill up.

Is it possible to ignore paths?

I'm guessing that the right way to handle this is to add redirects, but I'm not getting expected behavior from the regular expression processing.

I'm seeing multiple hits to /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml every minute, so it's an easy place to track this problem.

When I add a redirect like this: \/autodiscover\/.* (similar to the example in this project's homepage) the hits do not stop. If I add the full path, the hits do stop. However, there are many hacking attempts to URLs that include autodiscover and also Wordpress based paths, that I really need to get this regular expression working.
