For your information:

One of the changes I'm working on right now is to move vcl_fetch{}
up to after receiving the headers from the backend, but before
dealing with the backend.

This is necessary to be able to decide, per object, if it should be
stored in temporary (malloc) or persistent (disk) storage.

With some extra work, this will allow pass to become streaming.
