Nope. There will be a header denoting non-standard MobileFrontend views if the mobile team wants to leave the caching situation as is. It will be a response header set by mediawiki, not varnish. The header will have a unique name, it will not share the name of the zero carrier header. The udplog field that currently only ever contains carrier information on zero requests will become a key value field. Udplog fields are not named, they are positional. > This will avoid an explosion of > cryptic headers for analytic purposes. > > Questions: > - It seems there's some confusion around "bypassing Varnish".

"Bypasses varnish caching" != "bypassing varnish." I don't see any use of the later in this thread, but if there has been confusion, know that all m.wikipedia.org requests are served via varnish. > - Since we're repurposing X-CS, should we perhaps rename it to something > more apt to address concerns about cryptic non-standard headers flying > about? Nope.. We're repurposing the fixed position udplog field, not the zero carrier code header. > > > *2.
