In vcl_fetch you'll have the headers, not the object itself. I think you
should modify the req object in vcl_fetch and add a X-pipe: header. The
restart the transaction.

In vcl_recv you test for the named header and call pipe. I'm
not entirely sure how Varnish will handle a switch from pass to pipe in the
middle of a restart, but it should be easy to test.
