Minimalistic VCL does not compile

[Viktor Gunnarson]

Hi,

There is no such thing as req.backend, I think what you are looking for 
is req.backend_hint but as you only have the default backend defined you 
do not need to specify it at all. You should however add "set" in front 
of the setting of the variables and the line "vcl 4.0;" first in the 
file as I hope you are running Varnish 4 or later.

    vcl 4.0;

    backend default {
             .host = "46.228.47.114";
             .port = "https";
    }

    sub vcl_recv {
             set req.http.host = "www.yahoo.com";
    }


Best regards,
Viktor
