Re: [squid-users] monster.com with squid 2.4 STABLE4

If the server responds differently based on the precense of a cookie
then the server SHOULD indicate this to downstream caches by including a
"Vary: Cookie" header. See RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1 spec).

Without the Vary header downstream caches have no way of knowing that
this page makes use of the cookie.
