You don't need to put the query string back and even if you do so, it won't
change anything.
GET /[email protected] GET /promo.php
client -----------------------------------------------> Varnish
-------------------------> backend
/[email protected] /promo.php
client <---------------------------------------------- Varnish
<-------------------------- backend
On the Varnish side, the url cached is promo.php.
On the client side, the url in the browser bar will stay promo.php?
[email protected] and you can access the query string, in javascript.
