I just wrapped up work to integrate the Akamai Content Control Utility webservices and automatic purging from Sitecore.
Using the Telerik RadFileExplorer and some crafty C# code I am now able to trigger content purging from the Sitecore Desktop. Just created the service object, collected the parameters and called the webservice.
Pretty cool, I even get an email once the purge has been completed.
//create the purgeResult object
X.Web.Isc.UI.ServiceReference1.PurgeResult r = new X.Web.Isc.UI.ServiceReference1.PurgeResult();
X.Web.Isc.UI.ServiceReference1.PurgeApiClient a;
a = new X.Web.Isc.UI.ServiceReference1.PurgeApiClient();
string[] options = new string[4];
string[] uri = new string[1];
//get the login credential and other data for Akamai from the web.config
options[0] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUEmail"].ToString();
options[1] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUAction"].ToString();
options[2] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUType"].ToString();
options[3] = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUDomain"].ToString();
//build the URL to the file that was uploaded
uri[0] = "http://www.mydomain.com" + e.Path;
//request the content purge
r = a.purgeRequest(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUUserName"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AkamaiCCUPassword"].ToString(), "", options, uri);
//log the activity
X.Web.Core.Context.Current.LogMessage("Akamai CCU WebService Message: " + r.resultCode + " " + r.resultMsg + " " + r.sessionID + " " + uri[0].ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//something didn't work so let's report the issue
X.Web.Core.Context.Current.LogMessage("Error Akamai CCU WebService Message: ", ex);
}
