A good varnish config for a Rails app
# https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/2.1/tutorial/vcl.html
# https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamples
# Summary
# 1. Varnish will poll the backend at /health_check to make sure it is
# healthy. If the backend goes down, varnish will server stale content
# from the cache for up to 1 hour.
# 2. Varnish will pass X-Forwarded-For headers through to the backend
# 3. Varnish will remove cookies from urls that match static content file
# extensions (jpg, gif, ...)

Ruby Signed Expiring Cloudfront URL
# A simple function to return a signed, expiring url for Amazon Cloudfront.
# As it's relatively difficult to figure out exactly what is required, I've posted my working code here.
# This will require openssl, digest/sha1, base64 and maybe other libraries.
# In my rails app, all of these are already loaded so I'm not sure of the exact dependencies.
