Tracking requests through Varnish servers

[samcrawford at gmail.com]

Hi Ben,

Do a search for Varnish string concatenation, it's (briefly) documented in the VCL guide.

The following should do the trick though:

set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS " resp.http.X-Cache

Thanks,

Sam

Subject: Tracking requests through Varnish servers

Hello,

I'd like to be able to track the progress of a request as it passes through multiple Varnish servers (using each other as backends).

What is the best way to do this? I've tried using +=, but this is not acceptable for strings (failed to compile). Currently I have multiple headers as follows but is there a way of concatenating them into a single string?

set resp.http.X-Cache-v1 = "MISS"
set resp.http.X-Cache-v2 = "HIT"

Thanks, Ben
