--- Comment #9 from Mark Bergsma <m...@nedworks.org> ---
Yeah that makes sense. Varnish converts a HEAD into a GET when doing a backend
request on a miss, and then doesn't allow streaming. It'll wait until the
entire object has been retrieved before generating the response.

In theory, in "streaming mode" it could do this once the response headers (for
the GET) have been received, and then just not stream the body.

I'm not sure how much it's worth spending time on now though, given that
Varnish 4 (slated to come out in a few months) will have a different
implementation of streaming. Is this ever a problem in practice?
