req.url value replacement issue

[Paul A. Procacci]

Travis,

You have to have a request.  An empty request isn't a valid request.
As for it being documented, it's documented in the rfc's but I'm not sure varnish documentation includes this at all.

I tried replacing it with nothing via set req.url = "" and I also tried using regsub.  It turns out that if you try to set req.url to an empty value, nothing happens.  I ended up having to use set req.url = "/";
