Good day team,
I'm using varnish in our projects already long time, so thank you very 
much for this great technology!
Let me explain 1 thing I can't realize already 2 weeks.

so, here is task. Please take a look, we are using some sort of security 
in links, so every client has own generated links. An example:
client1: /2ca6d77ff25927870b135c389c4692ef/book/ 
a7a5b1ce35c454dbc4abf6425739e9cd890cd68c640d3747947bc502d9da9e2a5aa93c3069f29630/thing1.txt 
client2: 
/2ca6d77ff25927870b135c389c4692ef/book/ea0c89a5895321aa7af058492d7ba33e0395bc04efc490e4ad1d4c29f0788446b9d0fee67a606s4t/thing1.txt 
client3: 
/2ca6d77ff25927870b135c389c4692ef/book/ea0c89a5895320d96d798f0ec4dc13b69f6c342d2f5cf86d09374d141c9119515003b1abb2351d4f/thing1.txt 
So, based on clean URL we can't build cache, that's why we have to 
modify urls to cache them like just: 
/2ca6d77ff25927870b135c389c4692ef/thing1.txt But get proper response 
possible if URL like: 
/magazine/ea0c89a5895320d96d798f0ec4dc13b69f6c342d2f5cf86d09374d141c9119515003b1abb2351d4f/thing1.txt 
So, how is it possible to reach with varnish, to lookup objects by 
custom key, fetch by custom url and put to cache by custom key? I 
already created URL rewriting and it works properly, varnish fetching 
content and sends to client, but not caching it at all. Also, I need a 
way to pause some clients requesting same object till first will not 
reach it, so needs to make a queue. Here is my current config I'm using 
(please remove all things not important): sub vcl_recv { set 
req.backend_hint = vdir.backend(); # send all traffic to the vdir 
director set req.url = std.querysort(req.url); unset req.http.cookie; if 
(req.method == "GET" && (req.url ~ "book")) { std.log("we are passing 
it"); return (pass); } std.log("we are looking for the cache "); return 
(hash); } sub vcl_pipe { #std.log("piped url:::"+bereq.url); #if 
(bereq.url ~ "/origin/") { # set bereq.url = regsub(req.url, 
"(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$", "\1/\4"); # std.log("piped::"+bereq.url); # } 
set bereq.http.Connection = "Close"; return (pipe); } # The data on 
which the hashing will take place sub vcl_hash { ###### here we should 
modify url to try to return from cache if (req.url ~ "/book/$") { set 
req.http.cacheurl = regsub(req.url, "(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$", "\1/\4"); 
std.log("hash rewrite was:" + req.url); std.log("become ::: 
"+req.http.cacheurl); } else { set req.http.cacheurl = req.url; } 
hash_data(req.http.cacheurl); if (req.http.host) { 
hash_data(req.http.host); } else { hash_data(server.ip); } } sub 
vcl_backend_fetch { if (bereq.url ~ "/book/") { set bereq.url = 
regsub(bereq.url, "(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$", "/magazine/\3/\4"); 
std.log("backend fetch::"+bereq.url); } return (fetch); } sub vcl_hit { 
# Called when a cache lookup is successful. if (obj.ttl >= 0s) { # A 
pure unadultered hit, deliver it return (deliver); } # if 
(!std.healthy(req.backend_hint) && (obj.ttl + obj.grace > 0s)) { # 
return (deliver); # } else { # return (fetch); # } # We have no fresh 
fish. Lets look at the stale ones. if (std.healthy(req.backend_hint)) { 
# Backend is healthy. Limit age to 10s. if (obj.ttl + 10s > 0s) { #set 
req.http.grace = "normal(limited)"; return (deliver); } else { # No 
candidate for grace. Fetch a fresh object. return(fetch); } } else { # 
backend is sick - use full grace if (obj.ttl + obj.grace > 0s) { #set 
req.http.grace = "full"; return (deliver); } else { # no graced object. 
return (fetch); } } # fetch & deliver once we get the result return 
(fetch); # Dead code, keep as a safeguard } sub vcl_miss { 
std.log("vcl_miss "+req.url); return (fetch); } # Handle the HTTP 
request coming from our backend sub vcl_backend_response { set 
beresp.grace = 20m; # Called after the response headers has been 
successfully retrieved from the backend. unset beresp.http.set-cookie; # 
Set 2min cache if unset for static files set beresp.ttl = 1200s; 
std.log("response url:::"+bereq.url); ###### here we should rewrite url 
to send it to wowza then if (bereq.url ~ "/live/") { set bereq.url = 
regsub(bereq.url, "(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$", "\1/\4"); } # Allow stale 
content, in case the backend goes down. # make Varnish keep all objects 
for 6 hours beyond their TTL return (deliver); } sub vcl_deliver { if 
(req.url ~ "/book/") { set req.url = regsub(req.url, 
"(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$", "\1/\4"); std.log("delivering :: "+req.url); } 
if (obj.hits > 0) { # Add debug header to see if it's a HIT/MISS and the 
number of hits, disable when not needed set resp.http.X-Cache = "HIT"; } 
else { set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS"; } # Please note that obj.hits 
behaviour changed in 4.0, now it counts per objecthead, not per object # 
and obj.hits may not be reset in some cases where bans are in use. See 
bug 1492 for details. # So take hits with a grain of salt set 
resp.http.X-Cache-Hits = obj.hits; # Remove some headers: PHP version 
unset resp.http.X-Powered-By; # Remove some headers: Apache version & OS 
unset resp.http.Server; unset resp.http.X-Drupal-Cache; unset 
resp.http.X-Varnish; unset resp.http.Via; unset resp.http.Link; unset 
resp.http.X-Generator; return (deliver); } sub vcl_purge { # Only handle 
actual PURGE HTTP methods, everything else is discarded if (req.method 
!= "PURGE") { # restart request set req.http.X-Purge = "Yes"; 
return(restart); } } sub vcl_synth { if (resp.status == 720) { # We use 
this special error status 720 to force redirects with 301 (permanent) 
redirects # To use this, call the following from anywhere in vcl_recv: 
return (synth(720, "http://host/new.html")); set resp.http.Location = 
resp.reason; set resp.status = 301; return (deliver); } elseif 
(resp.status == 721) { # And we use error status 721 to force redirects 
with a 302 (temporary) redirect # To use this, call the following from 
anywhere in vcl_recv: return (synth(720, "http://host/new.html")); set 
resp.http.Location = resp.reason; set resp.status = 302; return 
(deliver); } return (deliver); } sub vcl_fini { # Called when VCL is 
discarded only after all requests have exited the VCL. # Typically used 
to clean up VMODs. return (ok); }
