but how would i proceed if i want to know what actually is in the cache?

e.g. view a cached version of an URL: http://mydomain.com/somepage
Fetch it with a HTTP client.

thanks andreas,

yes, i know i can fetch it with a http client to see the cached version ;)

but i'm looking more into finding out what URL's there are in the cache to find the culprits as i never know what clients out there request.

in the past i was working with other caching systems, like PEAR Cache Lite, which is based on PHP. and there I can easily see what URLs are in the cache. this way i could easily see the 'wrong' cached URLs and re-adjust my caching system to get a high positive hit rate.

for example, i got URL like:

http://mydomain.com/?param=foo&doe=john

but anyone out there is allowed to request stuff like:

http://mydomain.com/?param=foo&doe=john&culprit=this&anotherculprit=that

the additional params the client sends actually do nothing but as far as I understood, varnish will cache based on URLs ... so ending up with 2 cached versions ...

so ... to spot those culprits i would like to know if there is a list of URLs / cached objects in varnish that i can view ... investigate

to then adjust the vlc to filter out those bad cached to get a higher positive hit rate.

does this make sense? is something like that available in varnish 5?

thanks & greetings
becki
