Hi, In VCL, the fact that you can't create your own variables at runtime can sometimes be a limitation when writing very complicated configs. You have to use the variables Varnish already has defined for you; that is, resp.*, etc. You can of course use HTTP headers as temporary variables, but that seems like a hack to me.
My question is: why doesn't VCL let you do custom variables? If I'm not mistaking, a .vcl file is just an easy-to-read and easy-to-code version of a C script (.vcl is compiled as .c at runtime), and it's not too hard to create variables in C. Are user-defined variables ever going to appear in VCL, or is that out of the scope of the Varnish Cache project (if so, why)?
