Even more varnish 4.1 issues

[Jason Heffner]

It took me a few tries but finally got 4.1.0 to work as expected. As it turns out I use Nginx as a reverse proxy in development to simulate our F5 load balancer on staging/production. I had to upgrade the HTTP proxy version to 1.1 in nginx and it just started working. Nginx 1.8.0 defaults to HTTP 1.0 which should have been fine according to the varnish docs. I was able to recreate through Google Chrome by setting it back to HTTP version 1.0.

I was mostly interested in the HTTP range header fixes which I confirmed are fixed in 4.1 now. Yes! Wouldn’t mind seeing those back ported.

I removed the custom selinux policy I created for v 4.0.3 which required some additions and confirmed the current selinux targeted default policy (v24) for varnishd is working on RHEL6.7 with 4.1.0.

When I try and load a page that sets a cookie I will get the first response to the page fine, and request for a second page will return a 0 length content and white screen. I clear cookies and I can load another page till one page sets cookies and I’m back to the 0 length response. It’s really odd.
