Comment(by david):
phk,
My entire website became problematic for many of my users after installing
Varnish 3 because of this ETag issue. We had hundreds of support requests
on our support board complaining of "Content encoding" errors. If you
intend to leave this flaky behavior as the default, I would recommend
changing the default VCL to work-around the bug. Expecting users to find
this ticket and come up with their own solution doesn't sit well with me.
Ultimately, it's your decision to serve conflicting etags or not.
