varnish caching with jsessionid being set

[Jim Louis]

Dridi,

I must not be understanding your example on [2] as I'm still getting
everything passed.

The BereqHeader in varnishlog -b shows:
BereqHeader    Cookie: JSESSIONID=4A1158EB11C9E93D6AD2A101BB9FA204;
pfmhelp=1; _ga=GA1.2.1694534677.1489779146;
TrackJS=f2465051-cb66-4cfa-8a47-5c7a5d07aab4; navigation=520533110%7C4130

and I'm seeing:
BerespHeader   Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
BerespHeader   Pragma: no-cache

Also, was there a part 2 to that blog?

Thanks,
Jim
