GitHubのREADME上の画像キャッシュはPURGEリクエストで破棄させられる

GitHubのREADMEの画像，とくにビルドステータス・カバレッジ・コードクオリティ関連のものが長期間キャッシュされてしまって困ったことは無いでしょうか？

RFCで標準化されていないようですが，PURGEというHTTPメソッドでリクエストを送るとそれを破棄させることができるようです。

curlコマンドの-Xオプションを使用

mpyw@localhost:~$ curl -X PURGE https://camo.githubusercontent.com/f3bff8cae56a5e157f25ed6bf0a76aa610832897/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d7079772f657863657065722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572
{"status": "ok", "id": "397-1491501868-70734"}

いちいち1個1個インスペクタで調べるのも面倒なので，スクレイピングして自動でリクエストを送るシェルスクリプトを書きました。
