Varnish cache configuration on site that uses a boolean cookie to switch out frontpage content.

Posted by supermoos on January 17, 2013 at 2:52pm

Hello
I need a guy who has experience with switching out content based on a cookie value, just two blocks switching based on a cookie value, while still having varnish kick in.

So varnish/drupal guru needed.

This is a paid job.

Something like that

This is similar to what you want. It redirects the home page to /welcome if you don't have the cookie set.

Needs to be modified to your specifics.

sub vcl_recv {
  if (req.url == "/" &&
    req.http.Cookie !~ "name_of_your_cookie")
      error 752 "/welcome";
  }
}

sub vcl_error {
  if (obj.status == 752) {
    set obj.http.Location = obj.response;
    set obj.status = 302;
    return(deliver);
  }
}
