forward TLD to www

Tue Nov 25 04:26:06 CET 2014

Ah, well the problem seems to be one I’ve been having for a little while now. I seem to be having some trouble caching the site because of the cookie headers we’re seeing from the app.

However I wasn’t 100% positive that the site had to be cached in order to perform a simple redirect. But I guess that’s the case… still early in the learning curve in my defense.

Here’s what I saw:

Is there anything varnish can do to cope with these cookie headers?

Thanks
