I will stop bothering the helpful guys at the irc for a minute and ask a question here ;)

My VCL conf looks like this:
sub vcl_recv {
#Change the host header to www.mysite.com
if(req.http.host == "10.1.1.54" || req.http.host == "test.mysite.com") {
set req.http.host = "www.mysite.com";
}

#Purge specified files from acl purge.
#Purge = Delete the specified url from the cache
if(req.request == "PURGE") {
if(client.ip ~ purge) {
purge_url(req.url);
}
}

sub vcl_miss {
#set http version 1.1
set bereq.proto = "HTTP/1.1";

if (req.request == "PURGE") {
error 404 "The url could not be found in the cache.";
}
}

sub vcl_hit {
if (req.request == "PURGE") {
set obj.ttl = 0s;
error 200 "Purged successfully!";
}
}

}
# End of VCL Conf

I receive a 404 error "The url could not be found in the cache." when I try to PURGE the url.
PURGE http://www.mysite.com/data/hello.gif HTTP/1.1

This is the varnishlog when I try to purge:

The strange thing is that the host is different in PURGE Match and GET Match. I have used the same host on both requests. Does it have anything to do with the vcl code where Im changing the hostheader?
