How to exclude any file or folder from varnish cache?

[Farukh Khan]

Hello,

I have hosted a File Server in my web hosting running with CWP. I have got huge files there like 6 GB 10 GB also small files like 6 MB 10 MB 150 MB. Now I want my CWP varnish cache not to cache these files because these files got direct download links and might get updated very often. How can I do that? I have facing a problem with the greater files like 6 GB or 10 GB files. When I use varnish cache in my server I cannot get direct download of these files. The direct download literally doesn't work. If I disable varnish and only keep apache then all the downloads work. What might be the solution to this problem?


Please help CWP team.


Thanks in advance...

Hello.

You can configure it manualy.
Just add in vcl_recv something like that:

Code Select Expand

if (req.url ~ "^/path/to/exclude/folder") {
return(pass);
}

Any good way to do it from admins? Because the suggestion of Igor seems not working at all...
