table.contains

BOOLtable.containsIDidSTRINGkey

Available inall subroutines.

Returns true if the key key has an entry in the table id.

Example

Here's one way of implementing a simple redirect mechanism, conditional on presence in a table of URLs:

table redirects {
"/a": "/xyz",
"/b": "/abc",
}
sub vcl_recv {
if (table.contains(redirects, req.url.path)) {
error 800 "redirect";
}
...
}
sub vcl_deliver {
set resp.http.location = table.lookup(redirects, req.url.path)
+ if(req.url.qs == "", "", "?" + req.url.qs);
set resp.status = 301;
}

Try it out

table.contains is used in the following code examples. Examples apply VCL to real-world use cases and can be deployed as they are, or adapted for your own service. See the full list of code examples for more inspiration.

Override TTLs for path prefixes

Set TTLs at the edge based on looking up a path prefix in an edge dictionary.

Redirect old URLs at the edge

Use a dictionary of URL mappings to serve your redirects at lightning speed.
