Re: Varnish and sticky sessions
Torstein Krause Johansen wrote: Heya, is there a way to get Varnish load balancing (the director) to support sticky sessions? Or do I need to put a load balancer behind the Varnish that ensures that a client with a given session always goes to the same backend server? Never tried it, but it seems to me you could read a cookie in VCL to determine the backend to use. This is how most load balancers handle sticky sessions, right? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.endpoint.com ___ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
Re: ESI works in IE6 curl, but not in FF, Opera, Konqueror

Ok, thanks for the confirmation :-) Sorry for asking, but I know many customers will be asking me this: do you have any idea when we could expect support for this? Torstein - We have a client who is interested in ESI and also requires gzip (as I think most would), and we've been working on it on the back burner for a while. Faster work from us depends on the client's priorities. It's not a trivial undertaking, but I have at least got to the point of understanding the ESI request flow enough to guess where the encoding should probably be performed.

Re: TCP_HIT header

Any ideas? 'obj' is only available in 'hit' and 'fetch'. So set it in vcl_fetch. The only side effect being then your header will be set in the case of a 'pass' as well, which may or may not be what you want. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.endpoint.com ___ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
Re: Varnish 2.01 - GETs with Grinder end up in PASS
Robert Ming wrote: Hi! We do load-testing with 'The Grinder' vers. 3.1 on Varnish in front of several Plone3 instances. The tests worked out fine with Varnish 2.0 beta. Now with version 2.01 we have the following issue: Executing any GET with the Testing-Framework results always in a PASS in Varnish. As a consequence all subsequent requests with the same url end up in cache hits for pass, that's not what we like to test. Requesting the same urls manually, say with firefox or ie are first LOOKUPed and afterwards cached, the behaviour we would like to test. Trying different ways to get around this PASSing-issue we came to the conclusion that it is not a grinder problem, because a simple GET done with the python httplib.HTTPConnection had the same effect. Any comments, solutions, enlightments on this issue are appreciated. Post your vcl?

Re: Strange browser hickups with varnish
Christian Wiese wrote: The funny thing is that this seems to be a client thing. When I have a browser hanging, I can fetch the same file with curl or wget just fine. This could be due to Varnish having different versions in different encodings (gzip/deflate/etc). Take a look at the encoding and see if this is the cause of differences between browsers. As to the larger issue, I don't have much idea, but I think you should post more information, at least your varnishlog output.
