Hello, S?bastien

Unfortunately, there is still quite a lack of more fleshy documentation
than the man pages. John Buswell wrote a nice article in issue #6 of
o3magazine. It's available online at
http://www.emea.o3magazine.com/pastissues/issue6/ . It includes some
starting point vcl code and some general advice. You should start with
that article and the man pages, and then be welcome to return to the
mailing list for more help.

Regards,
Ingvar

Unfortunately, I already read that articles and it has only a bit of meat to feed my hunger.

Where can I found vcl languages docs ?
The website and my googling did not gave me good results.

I know basics but wants to go further.

Varnish is already production used on a 7M hits/D website and it works perfectly.

I don't think there exists more, at least not in publishable form.
Dag-Erling?

I agree that documentation of the vcl language, and some best-practice
notes and advice is poorly needed for the project. On the other hand, at
least, we now have the man pages. We all have to prioritize how we use
our time, and that of course includes the main developers, who probably
wisely use most of their varnish time on squashing bugs and programming
for varnish-2. Dag-Erling, is it possible to push some documentation
production up the prio list?

Post your config here and ask about comments for it. Then tell us what
else you want to do with varnish, and if you are lucky, some on the list
may tell you more.

'man vcl'

I'm working on a "getting started" document which will deal with
basic-to-intermediate VCL and how to measure performance.
