Script to assist migrating a VCL file from Varnish 3 to 4.x. [1]

Suggested usage

 $ varnish3to4 -o <filename>.v4 <filename>
 $ diff -u <filename> <filename>.v4

To limit changes for Varnish 4.0:

 $ varnish3to4 -v 4.0 -o <filename>.v4 <filename>
 $ diff -u <filename> <filename>.v4

Currently understands

Won't be implemented

 - vcl 4.0
 - import directors
new xx = directors.yy();
xx.add_backend(ss);
set req.backend_hint = xx.backend();

Add imports resulting from changes in V4, complete purge handling and any other changes missing from this document.

N/A for 3.0 (for documentation only)

V4.0 V4.1
return (fetch) in vcl_hit [3] return (miss)

Notes

  1. Comments in VCL are treated as code and as such references within will be rewritten.
  2. Required in 4.1 and above.
  3. Optional in 4.1. Required in 5.0 and above.
