SOLVED: How do I serve cache from a different file path?
Hi,
I’m trying to create a configuration with the following logic:
visible to the web origin server path
feeds.example.com => origin-www.example.com/feed/default
feeds.example.com/news => origin-www.example.com/feed/news
feeds.example.com/latest => origin-www.example.com/feed/latest
feeds.example.com/maths => origin-www.example.com/feed/tag/maths
feeds.example.com/science => origin-www.example.com/feed/tag/science
Then anything else should redirect to the root “/” which maps to /feed/default on the origin.
Is this possible with Fastly?
-
Definitely. You can do this with a little VCL, our configuration language:
if (req.url == "/") { set req.url = "/feed/default"; } else if (req.url == "/news") { set req.url = "/feed/news"; } ... etc ...
If you had thousands of these, or you wanted to adjust them dynamically via API calls, I'd recommend looking at using an Edge dictionary.

Thanks for the advice, I've added a custom VCL like this:
sub vcl_recv { #FASTLY recv if (req.url == "/") { set req.url = "/feed/default"; } else if (req.url == "/news") { set req.url = "/feed/news"; } else { set req.url = "/feed/default"; } }
I added the final else block to catch any other URLs that might hit the address.
