Redirecting based on http verb and URL

[Davies Matt J A (LCSS)]

Hello everyone

I'm just checking I'm going down the right path here.

I've read the example redirect section on the docs here, http://varnish-cache.org/wiki/VCLExampleRedirectInVCL

In my case we've just moved web sites, and some crazy dudes are spamming our site, trying to send a POST form to an one page that may have one time allowed it.

My Rails app is picking up these attempts at spam and throwing them out, but I want to handle them, and other normal people who simply click on the old link somewhere, with varnish prior to that.

Here's my addition to the vcl_recv 

if (req.http.host == "^(www.)?webiste/blogs/oldpage$") {
      error 750 "Moved Temporarily";
        if (req.request == "POST"){
          error 751 "Please go away"
      }
    }

and vcl_error 

sub vcl_error {
    if (obj.status == 750) {
        set obj.http.Location = "http://newblogs";
	      set obj.status = 302;
        deliver;
    }
    if (obj.status == 751) {
      set obj.status = 500;
      deliver;
    }
}

Can anyone see any glaringly obvious stupid bits in there?

Thanks again.
