Hello Any,

Indeed, you can't go directly from vcl_recv to vcl_deliver.
Using vcl_error will work, however vcl_error sets a Connection: close
header which will degrade performances a lot if a single client makes
multiple calls to the API.

I think a workaround could be to use a fake cached object using a static
hash, and then rewriting the response in vcl_deliver with the actual
JSON.

Never done that though - just an idea.
