keep-alive and Firefox

Hi

Somewhere around r1640 Firefox started to behave weirdly
while loading pages from varnish.

It seems to have to do with an entry in vcl_recv like:

if (req.url ~ "random") {
set req.backend = server2;
pass;
}

But Safari and Explorer handle that fine.

I think it has to do with keep-alive.

Can you get me at least a varnishlog output ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

oh, I'm sorry, but while diffing the logoutput
manually I recognized an interesting header:

13 TxHeader c Age: 3110952656

With r1639 the Age header is only 245s

Maybe this is it.
