Individual Cache for different Browsers?

[Klapproth, Martin]

Hello,

 

I have requested one page with different browsers (firefox, chrome). If
I make a second request with the same browser I get the object from the
varnish cache. But if the first browser makes the first request and the
second browser makes the second one I get a miss.

 

In my configuration the hash will be determined only by the url and host
header (nothing else). Client side Cache-Control or Pragma headers were
totally ignored. Here a snippet out of my vcl config:

 

sub vcl_recv {

        unset req.http.Pragma;

        unset req.http.Cache-Control;

        ...

}

 

sub vcl_hash {

    set req.hash += req.url;

    if (req.url == "/") {

        set req.hash += req.http.host;

    }

    return (hash);

}

 

sub vcl_deliver {

           if (obj.hits > 0) {

              set resp.http.X-Cache = "HIT";

           } else {

                set resp.http.X-Cache = "MISS";

           }

           unset resp.http.X-Varnish;

}

 

Here the 2 browser requests:

Response 2 by Chrome

CacheInfo: 600

Connection: keep-alive

Content-Encoding: gzip

Content-Length: 8004

Server: nginx

X-Cache: MISS     // That's not ok, cause the request was done 30 sec
after the first one ant the max-age is 600

 

The nginx is only proxying the request to varnish and handles gzip. The
object will be cached (can see it in varnishlog).

 

Can you help me with my problem?

 

Thanks

 

Martin
