forward TLD to www

[Tim Dunphy]

Hey Norberto,

 OK thanks for clarifying that. I put this statement into my sub vcl_recv
hoping to redirect the web browser from ref.mydomain.com to
www.ref.mydomain.com

So from what you're telling me, only the backend sees this translation.

 On my next attempt I tried setting an error in sub vcl_recv and then
passing that error to sub vcl_error. Like so:

In sub vcl_recv I have this:

  if (req.http.host ~ "^ref\.mydomain\.com$") {
          error 750 "Moved Permanently";
    }

Then I created a sub_vcl error like so:

sub vcl_error {
    if (obj.status == 750) {
      set obj.http.Location = "http://www.ref.mydomain.com";
      set obj.status = 301;
      return(deliver);
  }
}

Still no luck. The page is not redirecting in the browser. Any other
thoughts?

Thanks
Tim
