logical or statement failing

[Tim Dunphy]

Hi Glenn,

 Thanks for your reply! And yes that does indeed compile.

 # Allow the beta site to login
   if ( req.http.host ~ "^beta\.jokefire\.com$" &&
"^/?\?oa_social_login_source=custom$"  ) {
      return (pass);
   }

I actually remembered that the ? is a regex character and needed to be
escaped before I read your email. That got it to compile. But one thing
that I didn't think of was including the beginning slash at the start of
the regex. So instead I had this: "^\?oa_social_login_source=custom$". That
compiles too. But actually neither solution, yours nor mine, allows you to
login to my wordpress site.

So I might have to do a little more digging there on how to do this. But of
course if anyone on the list can suggest some good resources on how to
front wordpress with varnish that you like and shows you how to solve the
login problem I'm having, that would be great!

Thanks,
Tim
