I'm curious to understand why Varnish doesn't do validation / conditional GET. Has If-Modified-Since/If-None-Match support been considered and rejected on merit or is it something that could theoretically be accepted into the project? Has it just not received any real interest? Personally, I'd love to see support for conditional GET as this can significantly reduce backend resource use when the backend generates cache validators upfront and 304's without generating the full response.
