-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 * Package name : libvmod-selector Version : 2.6.0 Upstream Author : 2018, UPLEX Nils Goroll Systemoptimierung * URL : https://gitlab.com/uplex/varnish/libvmod-selector * License : BSD-2-clause Programming Lang: C Description : match strings with backends, regexen and other strings Varnish Module (VMOD) for matching strings against sets of fixed strings. A VMOD object may also function as an associative array, mapping the matched string to one or more of a backend, another string, an integer, or a regular expression. The string may also map to a subroutine that can be invoked. . The VMOD is intended to support a variety of use cases that are typical for VCL deployments, such as: . * Determining the backend based on the Host header or the prefix of the URL. * Rewriting the URL or a header. * Generating redirect responses, based on a header or the URL. * Permitting or rejecting request methods. * Matching the Basic Authentication credentials in an Authorization request header. * Matching media types in the Content-Type header of a backend response to determine if the content is compressible. * Accessing data by string match, as in an associative array, or by numeric index, as in a standard array. * Dispatching subroutine calls based on string matches. * Executing conditional logic that depends on features of the request or response that can be determined by matching headers or URLs. . Operations such as these are commonly implemented in native VCL with an if-elsif-elsif sequence of string comparisons or regex matches. As the number of matches increases, such a sequence becomes cumbersome and scales poorly -- the time needed to execute the sequence increases with the number of matches to be performed. With the VMOD, the strings to be matched are declared in a tabular form in vcl_init, and the operation is executed in a few lines. I intend to maintain this package as part of the Varnish Packaging Team. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFFBAEBCgAvFiEEqVSlRXW87UkkCnJc/9PIi5l90WoFAmGyZywRHGZsYWRpQGRl Ymlhbi5vcmcACgkQ/9PIi5l90WrgcQf9FRsoGoZizDrzo8KYNW4FnJ86vr65jcVq iyMM3EmZUdW9hM5i9Fb6V7JQRKnAmu0UUjtJ5JI69I6uzumTQyJ3h+dE70PVLqoM UlhPvqGcu3GXcZZ7KClK2ugJYGBzDj38+azQxN3EGrI1zDqBB8GFfCvqEj8l1Unh MLOG43TzRsDv+InWrchSyBnAYdzKP+wEXx8e0WsfyoXMJ+c+8wvnPzsuYC/qr2UM U0JiFiOorY+yGHq50fSAbnASvfuzQ/vzJuB31HUw5whMy0tEEOJRCETdCTxHjI1Z On9bYK8rbwoFV+2s3Bvpylu+EkmtKnnt2bk8Zr2OKOGdDKrWVXoORw== =/CHl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
