Varnish 4.1.4 - MAIN.n_gunzip counter increasing for every MAIN.backend_req

[Vlad Rusu]

Hi guys, 

https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/4.1/reference/vsl.html <https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/4.1/reference/vsl.html>

Gzip tag, in the format section, shows a possible flag of ‘u’ representing a Gunzip-test

In my varnishstat output I see how MAIN.n_gunzip equals (roughly) MAIN.backend_req


Looking at the Gzip tag, I see the following for every backend request:

Gzip           u F - 70 55 80 80 489


Can someone help me understand what a Gunzip-test means / does? It sure gets counted against MAIN.n_gunzip.

Am not attaching the VCL or a full varnishstat as I don’t think it makes sense. Each backend sends gzipped data back to Varnish and each client requests for gzipped data from Varnish.. 

Thanks!
