Description

Varnish Module (VMOD) for matching strings against regular expressions, and for extracting captured substrings after matches. Matching is equivalent to VCL's infix operator ~, but unlike standard VCL -- where capturing a backreference requires a second, less efficient regsub() over the whole subject -- this VMOD exposes captured subexpressions directly via .backref(), so one match is enough. Complements vmod-re2, which offers the Google RE2 engine (linear-time, but without backreference capture).

Built for Amazon Linux.
