Strange caching behavior

[Rodrigo Benzaquen]

Hi guys, today we saw that if our backend servers doesn´t add an HTTP
CACHE-CONTROL Varnish cache the URL for 30s.

 

We have tested the same using Netcache and we noticed that Netcache doesn´t
cache the object. 

 

Do you guys know how to modify Varnish to don´t cache URLs or Objects that
doesn´t have CACHE-CONTROL?

 

 

Example: as you can see our Backend Server is not sending cache-control:
no-cache and Varnish is caching the object for 30s.
