How to test if cookie contains pattern VCL (Varnish)

Question

How can I test if a cookie starts with SESS* in the Varnish config file. I want all requests to hit the server if this cookie is set. Is it a regular regex?

Yeah, just use a regex in vcl_recv. Something like:

if (req.http.Cookie ~ "(^|;\s*)SESS") {
    return(pass);
}

I already have something like: `if (req.http.Cookie ~ "(VARNISH|DRUPAL_UID)") { return (pass); }`. Should I just add this afterwards? – Eduard Luca Jul 25 '12 at 21:11
Yeah that'll work. – Pax Jul 26 '12 at 13:58
