Problems with Cache-Control: max-age=0

[Mike Adolphs]

Hi,

I've just been playing around with Varnish since yesterday, read the
various examples and thought I'll give it a try with caching munin
generated png's for 3600s (just as a test). When I now refresh the
page I see that the cache is missed. Couple of seconds and a refresh
later I see that the cache gets hit.
So far so good, but a few minutes later new requests hit the backend
again instead of getting its content from the cache. How do I alter
the incoming request's header to unset or alter the Cache-Control:
max-age=0? Is that possible?

My current config looks like the following, but this is obviously for
backends that sends "Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0,
must-revalidate":

sub vcl_recv {
  if (req.request == "GET" && req.url ~ "\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|png)$") {
    lookup;
  }
}

sub vcl_fetch {
  if (req.request == "GET" && req.url ~ "\.(html|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|png)$") {
    set obj.ttl = 3600s;
  }
}


Best regards,
Mike
