Hi I am using varnish 2.0-beta-2.
I am using varnish to cache a website where there is a small amount of personalised content in a particular directory. When the user is outside of that directory, the only difference for logged-in and non-logged-in users is a few links (e.g. login/register or view profile/logout - the targets are the same irrespective of which user). I am trying to come up with a cache setup to deal with this. How I had planned to deal with this was as follows: - set an ETag (e.g. "logged-in" or "anon") depending on whether the user is logged in or not; - add a "Vary: ETag" header, so varnish stores several representations - in varnish, set an "ETag" header on the request when it is received, depending on if the user is authenticated or not (can be determined by the presence of a cookie). the request should then match the correct page in the cache. I know varnish doesn't do If-None-Match, but I don't think that is a problem in this scheme. I haven't attempted this yet - can anyone see any holes in it as a method? Or does anyone else have a way of dealing with this sort of personalisation-lite?! Thanks in advance for your help!
