> I'm new to Varnish. I host a web application (which is otherwise not in my control) which basically shows the timetable for school classes on a number of schools. It does this (and don't ask me why) by mixing a POST and GET request to pass the parameters needed to show the correct timetable. So, e.g. the users visits the URL /Timetable.jsp/school=MySchool which contains a form. The user then selects the class in a form, which is then sent to the server as a POST request to Timetable.jsp/school=MySchool.

There's no support for this.
