is the POST content reforwarded in case of a restart ?

[Ken Brownfield]

Yes, this has been confirmed a few times on varnish-misc.  I'd suggest not
restarting POST in the case of a 500 status.  A 503 status (no available
Varnish backend) is debatable.  Personally, I restart POSTs that receive
503s because my app(s) don't return 503.

FWIW,
