Create VCL Snippets
Create a VCL snippet for the recv
subroutine with the following VCL code:
if (req.url.path !~ "/media_[0-9a-f]{40,}[/a-zA-Z0-9_-]*\.[0-9a-z]+$"
&& req.url.ext !~ "(?i)^(gif|png|jpe?g|webp)$"
&& req.url.ext != "json"
&& req.url.path != "/.auth") {
// strip query string from request url
set req.url = req.url.path;
}
Create VCL snippets for the miss
and pass
subroutines with the following VCL code:
set bereq.http.X-BYO-CDN-Type = "fastly";
set bereq.http.X-Push-Invalidation = "enabled";
NB: The X-Push-Invalidation: enabled
request header enables the push invalidation incl. long cache TTLs.
