Stripping out select querystring attribute/value pairs so varnish will not vary cache by them

Question

My goal is to \"whitelist\" certain querystring attributes and their values so varnish will not vary cache between the urls.

Example:

Url 1: http:/         


        

Answer 1

From https://github.com/mattiasgeniar/varnish-4.0-configuration-templates:

# Some generic URL manipulation, useful for all templates that follow
# First remove the Google Analytics added parameters, useless for our backend
if (req.url ~ "(\?|&)(utm_source|utm_medium|utm_campaign|utm_content|gclid|cx|ie|cof|siteurl)=") {
  set req.url = regsuball(req.url, "&(utm_source|utm_medium|utm_campaign|utm_content|gclid|cx|ie|cof|siteurl)=([A-z0-9_\-\.%25]+)", "");
  set req.url = regsuball(req.url, "\?(utm_source|utm_medium|utm_campaign|utm_content|gclid|cx|ie|cof|siteurl)=([A-z0-9_\-\.%25]+)", "?");
  set req.url = regsub(req.url, "\?&", "?");
  set req.url = regsub(req.url, "\?$", "");
}
