Apache Dispatcher invalidateHandler configured but not working.

[SKK]

According to the documentation here:  https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/deploying/dispatcher/disp_config.html, we should be able to call a script specified in the property /invalidateHandler in the /cache section of the dispatcher config

I have /invalidateHandler mapped to /var/www/cache/dispconfigs/disp.sh in publish-farm.any under /cache section but seems like I am unable to make a call to disp.sh. The script permissions are good and it works fine when I run it manually.

This URL started working after the invalidateHandler is enabled

curl -H "CQ-Action: Delete" -H "CQ-Handle: /content" -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" http://branda.com/invalidateHandler

but I am unable to get this URL working.I guess the syntax for the curl command below is wrong. A sample of how to use curl with invalidateHandler would be helpful

curl http://branda.com/invalidateHandler?parameter1&parameter2&parameter3

when I run this, the dispatcher.log says "The requested URL /invalidateHandler was not found on this server." 

Dispatcher Version: build 4.1.12

@SKK,

Is your dispatcher accessible by "http://branda.com/"? Invalidate Handler works just like the Activate/De-activation page works And, as far as In know Dispatcher has different invalidation handler url. something like invalidate.cache.

Does below url handled by custom module at the server level?

http://branda.com/invalidateHandler?parameter1&parameter2&parameter3

Hi,

IIRC you need to do a POST request to this URL, a GET is not sufficient.
