Varnish ipcast Module

----------------------

:Author: Lasse Karstensen

:Date: 2016-04-29

:Version: 1.3

:Manual section: 3

SYNOPSIS

========

import ipcast;

DESCRIPTION

===========

This is a Varnish 3.0 VMOD for converting a string into an IP type

in VCL.

Note that previously this VMOD overwrote the ``client.ip`` internal

variable. This was an inherently flawed method and has since been abandoned.

For Varnish 4 use the built-in ``std.ip()`` function.

This VMOD is tested on Varnish 3.0.7.

FUNCTIONS

=========

ip

--

Prototype

        ::

                ip(STRING S, STRING fallback)

Return value

	IP

Description

	Parse the IPv4/IPv6 address in S and return that. If not successful, parse

	the string in fallback and return that.

	When parsing fails the getaddrinfo() error output will be logged to

	varnishlog.

	Caveat: If the fallback address is unparseable Varnish will crash.

        ::

                set req.http.xff = regsub(req.http.X-Forwarded-For, "^(^[^,]+),?.*$", "\1");

                if (ipcast.ip(req.http.xff, "198.51.100.255") == "198.51.100.255") { error 400 "Bad request"; }

                set resp.http.x-parsed-ip = ipcast.ip("2001:db8::1", "198.51.100.255");

INSTALLATION

============

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::

 # only if you are building from a git clone.

 ./autogen.sh

 ./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``

In your VCL you could then use this vmod along the following lines::

        import ipcast;

        acl friendly_network {

            "192.0.2.0"/24;

        }

        sub vcl_recv {

            set req.http.xff = regsub(req.http.X-Forwarded-For, "^(^[^,]+),?.*$", "\1");

            if (ipcast.ip(req.http.xff, "198.51.100.255") == "198.51.100.255") {

                error 400 "Bad request";

            }

            if (ipcast.ip(req.http.xff, "198.51.100.255") !~ friendly_network) {

                    error 403 "Forbidden";

            }

        }
