Göran,
I'm no Varnish expert, but it my informal testing (which means just
tailing the CouchDB log) I could see that when I request a page the
first time I saw a bunch of GETs, and when I hit refresh, the GETs
were not repeated. So, I'd have to assume Varnish respects the Etags.
Mmmm, no :). What you can assume is that it does indeed show "cache
behavior". But AFAIK it is purely based on a TTL. Which probably is 120
seconds per default.
I looked into this in detail a while back and couldn't come to any other
conclusion than that in fact, Varnish doesn't do etags at all.
Which is a pity because otherwise Varnish looks quite cool.
