This page demonstrates how to extract the query string from the path using the new req.url.qs variable and stash the value in a a new local variable for use later.


  sub vcl_recv {
  #FASTLY recv

    // Return non-image
    if (req.url.path !~ "(?i)\.(?:jpg|png)$" 
      || req.url.path !~ "/images/") {
      return(lookup);
    }

    // Signal to send to IO
    set req.http.X-Fastly-Imageopto-Api = "fastly";

    // Don't alter the request if we're running at 
    // the shield, it has already been rewritten
    if (req.http.Fastly-FF) {
        return (lookup);
    }

    // Declare a local variable for building the new params
    declare local var.qs STRING;
    set var.qs = req.url.qs;
    
  }
