In vcl_fetch you have all the headers available with beresp.http.<header>.
You can set the TTL based on a header. For example:
if (beresp.http.X-Cache-Time) {
beresp.ttl = beresp.http.X-Cache-Time;
return (deliver);
} else
# default cache time - 30 minutes
beresp.ttl = 30m;
}
This way, backend must return the X-Cache-Time with something like "30s",
"1m" or anything varnish understands (no cache at all would be "0s").
If you don't unset the header on vcl_deliver, varnish will deliver the
exact headers received on beresp.
