 * When updating anything, resulting in a conditional purge, my Nginx Helper Log
   just lists a whole bunch of this. Nothing get’s purged from the cache.
 * It’s treating location ~ /purge(/.*) as if it’s an actual location, which results
   in a 404 error.
 * This error does not occur when using the purge cache button on the admin bar.
   Any insight into what might be causing this?
