Does Varnish support Pre-loading?

Hi,

I have a question regarding pre-loading. When Varnish gets a response from the backend server, does it do any parsing of the page? If it does, and if it sees some embedded objects that might be requested by user browser, will it do the pre-loading?

Thanks,

L.

No.

The only circumstances where Varnish examines the content for anything,
is if you ask for ESI processing to be performed.

That's not to say that we could not do it in the future, but there
are no plans for it right now.
