varnishncsa not logging POST requests?

[Chris Hecker]

Ah, it looks like I should be 'pass'ing POSTs, not 'pipe'ing them.  This 
makes them show up in the log.

Is this the recommended code 
(http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/15/using-varnish-so-news-doesnt-break-your-server/)?

     # Pass any requests that Varnish does not understand straight to 
the back end.
     if (req.request != "GET" && req.request != "HEAD" &&
         req.request != "PUT" && req.request != "POST" &&
         req.request != "TRACE" && req.request != "OPTIONS" &&
         req.request != "DELETE") {
       return(pipe);
     }     /* Non-RFC2616 or CONNECT which is weird. */

     # Pass anything other than GET and HEAD directly.
     if (req.request != "GET" && req.request != "HEAD") {
       return(pass);      /* We deal only with GET and HEAD by default */
     }
