Bunny purge wildcard: use {hash}* not {hash}/*

TL;DR

When purging a Bunny pull zone with a wildcard, use the bare '{hash}' prefix form, not '{hash}/'. The latter silently misses extension-suffixed paths and your takedown or deploy verification will see stale files.

Steps

1. When purging a Bunny pull zone with a wildcard, use the bare '{hash}' prefix form, not '{hash}/'. The latter silently misses extension-suffixed paths and your takedown or deploy verification will see stale files. Also purge every zone that serves the content; Volume and Standard zones do not share cache.

When to use

You are seeing this: Also purge every zone that serves the content; Volume and Standard zones do not share cache. Use this skill when you run into "Bunny purge wildcard: use {hash} not {hash}/".

When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.

Edge cases

• Also purge every zone that serves the content; Volume and Standard zones do not share cache.

Source: Engineering write-up (divinevideo/divine-blossom, takedown-drill notes): the team measured Bunny purge wildcard semantics and found a real gotcha. A purge of '{hash}' catches every derivative, the .mp4, the /720p.mp4 paths, the HLS chunks, the thumbnails, because it is a literal prefix match. A purge of '{hash}/' with the slash misses the extension-suffixed paths entirely while clearing only the subpaths. The purge took effect in about 4 seconds, and they also note purging is per zone since Volume and Standard cache independently.

Verified resolution: When purging a Bunny pull zone with a wildcard, use the bare '{hash}' prefix form, not '{hash}/'. The latter silently misses extension-suffixed paths and your takedown or deploy verification will see stale files. Also purge every zone that serves the content; Volume and Standard zones do not share cache.
