Not generating the www redirect (IMO that's more of a web server / application layer job than a cache job); but you can make varnish cache www and non-www objects together: if (req.http.host == "www.foo.net") {

Rather than "is this perfect?", the important question for me is "is this better or worse than my current diet of instant noodles and baked beans, with the occasional delivery pizza when I'm too lazy for instant noodles?

Last I checked the unix philosophy was "small tools that each do one thing well". You're saying that perl is a good example of that? IMO making "cut" be better at its one job is more unix-y than using the more compl

I don't think kids should learn to use cutlery at such early age, not without proper ethics training. Cutlery gives you a lot of power. The power to do both good and evil. Children just don't have that kind of judgement. If you te
