 Using popular configuration for vcl_recv():

 # do not cache POST requests
     if (req.request == "POST") {
         return (pass);
     }

 and initiating POST request to backend - I got connection closed in
 60seconds.

 Varnish backend is configured like that:


 backend default {
      .host = "127.0.0.1";
      .port = "8088";
      .connect_timeout = 600s;
      .first_byte_timeout = 600s;
      .between_bytes_timeout = 100s;
  }

 I use Apache 2.2.3 as backend.
 When requesting directly Apache without Varnish - no problem arises.
 The only villain left is Varnish.
 If return(pipe); is changed to return(pass) -> requests are proceeded
 correctly.

 We use Ubuntu on Amazon cloud:

 #uname -a
