Varnish looks very promissing--thank you guys for making it happen.
A small question: I've been playing around with VCL and would like
Varnish to prefetch a fresh page from the backend after a timeout. The
idea is to spare the end user from waiting for a slow backend the first
time a page gets fetched after a timeout/purge.
Should'nt this ...
sub vcl_timeout {
fetch;
}
... do the trick? It doesn't seem to do what I expect.
The same issue when it comes to PURGE. I was hoping you could sneak a
"fetch" in here, but it doesn't work.
sub vcl_hit {
if (req.request == "PURGE") {
set obj.ttl = 0s;
fetch;
error 200 "Purged.";
}
}
Is there a way to let Varnish fetch a fresh page immediately after a PURGE?
