Hi All, I'm thinking about how to auto warm my varnish caches. I have a list of cacheable urls which I like to refresh once in a while to make sure that whenever somebody hits that page, it's really a cache hit.
I'm wondering about best practices with regards to holding a cache warm. I remember that I saw an eMail on this list where somebody used a curl based script with a specific http header. Whenever that http header was set, the vcl logic said "go and fetch from backend". However, I can't find that mail anymore and I cant remember how it was accomplished. I also remember something about the reaper thread which is clearing the cache and whenever it's about to remove an object from cache, there was a way to tell varnish to not delete the object, but rather re-fetch it. Again, I can't find any documentation about. Is my mind playing tricks on me?! :) Long Story Short: Any advices on how to keep the cache warm?
