import randomstr; randomstr.randomstr(<int>, <string>);
Varnish Module (vmod) for generating a random string of a given length.
Example VCL:
backend foo { ... };
import randomstr;
sub vcl_recv {
set req.http.foo = randomstr.randomstr(10);
}
- Prototype
randomstr.randomst(INT, STRING)
- Return value
- STRING
- Description
- Returns a random string using characters from a given character set (defeult set is a-zA-Z0-9-_).
- Example
set resp.http.foo = randomstr.randomstr(10);
The source tree is based on autotools to configure the building, and does also have the necessary bits in place to do functional unit tests using the varnishtest tool.
Usage:
./configure VARNISHSRC=DIR [VMODDIR=DIR]
VARNISHSRC is the directory of the Varnish source tree for which to compile your vmod. Both the VARNISHSRC and VARNISHSRC/include will be added to the include search paths for your module.
Optionally you can also set the vmod install directory by adding VMODDIR=DIR (defaults to the pkg-config discovered directory from your Varnish installation).
Make targets:
- make - builds the vmod
- make install - installs your vmod in VMODDIR
- make check - runs the unit tests in
src/tests/*.vtc
