You can't trust clients, so Varnish will not likely honor clients' claims, like no-cache or max-stale. If you want to give control to the clients (which I don't recommend for the general case) you have do painfully do it yourself in VCL. It's a bit tedious to implement. > controlled by varnish.

There is, you can see the Age header going above the Cache-Control's mas-age when it happens. _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] https://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
