Why doesn't varnish cache these requests?

Hi Rainer,

I cannot see anything wrong with this response, the VCL checks on
beresp.http.TYPO3-Pid && beresp.http.Pragma == "public" which is both
fulfilled.

Can you share a varnishlog output of such a request?

Does not matter as it seems you have TYPO3 configured properly because
otherwise the TYPO3-* headers would not be there at all. BTW, you could
add your backend server to the "ban" ACL, without this the TYPO3 Backend
wont be allowed to purge the Varnish cache.
