title: Excluding a specific URL from Varnish cache
body: <p>I have a seemingly simple problem:</p>
  
  <p>I need to exclude only the homepage from Varnish by modifying default.vcl.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following syntax:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (req.url == "http://www.test.com/") {
      return (pass);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>-- with all the variations (trailing slashes etc.).</p>
  
  <p>I feel like I am missing something simple/fundamental here... can anyone give me a hand?</p>
