Hi Guillaume,
Thanks for the response.
Can you provide us with a log of the transaction please?
I have sent a R*equest *to VARNISH which Contains *Cache-Control: no-cache
header*, we have made sure the request with *cache-control header* is a
MISS with a check in *vcl_recv subroutine*, so it's a *MISS *as expected.
*The problem as mentioned before: *
*Cache-Control: no-cache header is not being passed to the Backend even
though its a MISS.*
*Please find below the transaction log of Varnish.*
