Hi all, we are considering changing the defaults on how the cache-control header is handled in Varnish. Currently, we only look at s-maxage and maxage to decide if and how long an object should be cached. (We also look at expires, but that's not relevant here.)
My suggestion is to also look at Cache-control: no-cache, possibly also private and no-store and obey those. You would still be able to override this in vcl by setting obj.cacheable to true and the ttl to some value. The reason I think we should at least consider changing this is the principle of least surprise: we support max-age and s-maxage, so we should also support the other common values of the cache-control header field.
