I think I have made up my mind about how to do synthetic objects in<br>
V4, but I'd like to run the idea past you guys first.<br>
<br>
In vcl_backend_(fetch|response){} you do:<br>
<br>
return (synth(777));<br>
<br>
Then you end up in vcl_backend_synth{} where, like in vcl_error{}, you<br>
can flesh out the object with headers and a body.<br>
<br>
The object will have a TTL of zero by default, but you can change that<br>
if you want to cache the object (unless it's a pass of course).<br>
<br>
Good or bad idea ?<br>

PS: Yes, I do realize that together with std.fileread() this makes<br>
Varnish a webserver, but I trust^H^H^H^H^Hhope that people will<br>
restrain themselves<br>
