Hello. Switched to Varnish from Nginx for additional functionality and better control of handling requests. But still can't implement what i want. And I want simple behaviour "Redirect on MISS/PASS". I want to use VC for deploying quick "cdn" servers for our mp4-video-servers (used for HTML5 players), without need to store all files on this quick (ssd, upto 2x480GB space, full database about 6TB).
Currently we have 6 servers with SATA HDDs and hitting iowait like a trucks :) Examples: - Request -> Varnish -> HIT: serve it using Varnish. - Request -> Varnish -> MISS: start caching data from backend, and instantly reply to client: `Location: http://backend/$req.url"; - Request -> Varnish -> UPDATE: see `-> MISS` behaviour. >From my perspective, i should do this "detach & reply redirect" somewhere in >`vcl_miss` OR `vcl_backend_fetch`, because if i understood correctly >https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/4.1/reference/states.html, i need >vcl_backend_response to keep run in background (as additional thread) while >doing return(synth(...)) to redirect user. Similiar thing is "hitting stale content while object is updating". But in my case "replying redirect while object is updating". Also, i pray to implement this without writing additional scripts, why? I could do external php/ruby checker/cache-pusher with nginx & etc. But scared by performance downgrade :( _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
