Any way to know if you are in a backgound fetch in Varnish 4.1

[Craig Servin]

Thanks for the info,

In the interim I'm just doing this:

sub vcl_hit {

     if (obj.ttl < 0s && ( obj.ttl + obj.grace > 0s ) ) {

        set req.http.X-IN-GRACE = "true";
     }
}

I realize there is a race condition between my vcl and the builtin.vcl 
fallthrough, but it shouldn't affect my use case.

Thanks again,

Craig
