The request was set to pass on the client side; that sets <br>
bereq.uncacheable=true, which is passed along to the backend side as <br>
beresp.uncacheable=true.<br>
<br>
The Expires response header (and also Cache-Control in your example) <br>
might at least tell browser caches that they can cache the response. But <br>
Varnish won't cache it.<br>

If you haven't changed this part of builtin.vcl, then yes:<br>
<br>
sub vcl_req_cookie {<br>
if (req.http.Cookie) {<br>
# Risky to cache by default.<br>
return (pass);<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
If a request/response has a property such as a Cookie header, and a <br>
number of other things that suggest that the response may be <br>
personalized, then it can't take the chance of caching it by default. <br>
That can be one of the worst mistakes you can make with a caching proxy.<br>
<br>
So if you need to be able to cache despite the presence of cookies, as <br>
do many sites these days, you need to write rules for that in VCL. <br>
Default VCL has to make the safest choice.<br>
<br>
<br>
