The problem is that asking the backend to purge is not an option
because that would not scale. If we would want to do that we need to
know at the backend how many varnish nodes the cluster has and how
to reach them all to purge the object effectively. Scaling the
landscape would very soon become a big nightmare.<br>
<br>
The solution you provide here sounds like something that is
programmable by someone familiar with VCL. VCL is completely new to
me so I will start creating a flow diagram to see if I can
understand that way what you wrote down. If you have any example
code that would help me in the right direction I would be very
happy.<br>

I think it is actually rather simple. At
least I think that I'm seeing the correct

that the response is first generated and
that the origin is only checked after the
response has been send to the client. What I
have now in my vcl_backend_response is
nothing more then:<br>
<br>
sub vcl_backend_response {<br>

<pre>Wiki page is obsolete -- it was about an experimental branch that
was developed while Varnish 3 was the released version.
(Maybe we should delete the Wiki page, it's not the first time someone
has been led astray.)
Varnish has supported 304 responses to client requests with
If-Modified-Since/If-None-Matc<wbr>h for as long as I've known about it
(going back to Varnish 2). Backend conditional requests have been
supported since Varnish 4.
However, by default that doesn't quite work as your flow chart
indicates, if I've understood it correctly. If the client request is
for a cached response with an unelapsed TTL, then Varnish delivers the
cached response unconditionally, without re-validating the response
with the backend. Conditional requests to backends are done for the
fetch after the TTL elapses.
That's the default, but I believe you can get your own VCL to
implement re-validation after cache hits. I haven't tried that myself
-- maybe someone reading the list has some working VCL they can share?
Best,
Geoff
