Sometimes it's hard to even know that man pages even exist (I'm looking at vsl and vsl-query in particular) so I tend to do that a lot ;) > not yet tested but I think this is what Dridi was pointing to? Yes, that was the suggestion. > Ok ... I also do understand that people need to read manuals a.k.a. RTFM ;) > > But is a mailing list ONLY here to get the finger pointed to MAN and RTFM??? No but it saves some time and typing for lazy me. > Isn't that what a mailing list is there for? To help others? > > Your thoughts please ;) Now that the finger is pointed at me, while I agree that I often point to the manual, I'm rarely saying to RTFM. I can be weeks between to peeks at the misc list for me, so sometimes I get extra lazy. I'm also sure you learned more than just how to pick the normalized host by looking at varnishncsa's manual. I could have been very nasty and not mention vmod_std(3) because after all, I had already hinted "std.log" in a previous email ;) I gave you a minimalist solution [1], you didn't know how to do it, I pointed to the right manuals since you already had the recipe. The little push that should get the ball rolling. Then if it doesn't work out as expected I can still try helping further. I'm usually reluctant to give a turn-key solution (except in the docs) and that's probably a habit I got from being a trainer. DYI and I will back you up, sort of thing.
