Hello!
I've done extensive testing on this, and I believe I've found a bug in
Varnish. The VCL below loads correctly, but causes the Varnish client to
crash after 1-2 requests. The backstory is available in the forums here
https://www.varnish-cache.org/forum/topic/65 - if you have any questions
that are not answered in that post, please ask away; I'd love to explain
and make more sense of what I'm trying to do. This isn't the exact VCL I'd
use in production, it is a minimalistic version that is able to reproduce
the crash:
{{{
sub vcl_recv {
if (!req.http.X-Forwarded-For) { set req.http.X-Forwarded-For =
client.ip; }
if (req.http.X-Banned == "check") { remove req.http.X-Banned; }
elseif (req.restarts == 0) {
set req.http.X-Banned = "check";
return (lookup);
}
}
sub vcl_hash {
## Check if they have a ban in the cache, or if they are going to be
banned in cache.
if (req.http.X-Banned) {
hash_data(req.http.X-Forwarded-For);
return (hash);
}
}
sub vcl_error {
if (obj.status == 988) { return (restart); }
}
sub vcl_miss {
if (req.http.X-Banned == "check") { error 988 "restarting"; }
}
}}}
This is a successful request. After this request, the second request will
not work (Varnish restarts):
