OK I think this is because 'error' is not allowed in vcl_deliver. After some google I found this guy had the same problem with me in 2008.<div><a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no/msg00372.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no/msg00372.html</a></div>

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried your config and varnish started with no error but if I send http request in this case, varnish will have empty response. And if I comment off the vcl_deliver it responds as normal. Can you help me a little bit more? Thanks again.<div>

</div>return (pass); doesn't work from vcl_deliver, nor is it needed after<br>
an error-statement.<br>

</div>Hmm. What you could do is:<br>
<br>
In vcl_fetch: if (req.http.Cache-Control ~ "just-cache") { set<br>
obj.http.X-Cache-Only = "true"; }<br>
In vcl_deliver:<br>
<br>
if (resp.http.X-Cache-Only == "true") {<br>
if (obj.hits == 0) {<br>
error 795 "Cached";<br>
} else {<br>
remove resp.http.X-Cache-Only;<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
I used the error code 795 to differentiate from 200, so you can catch<br>
it in vcl_error and strip most of the content of the error message if<br>
you want to. You may use whatever error code you want, of course.<br>
<br>
(I haven't tested this, but I don't see why it shouldn't work, except<br>
perhaps syntax typos).<br>
