Comment (by martijnheemels):
I'd like to second this report. We were bitten by the default "private/no-
cache" behaviour and I was surprised to find the solution on the
https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExampleHitMissHeader page.
Varnish usually seems to have sensible and reasonable defaults, just not
in this case.
I was also quite surprised by the respons to related ticket #477.
(https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/ticket/477#comment:3) and do not agree
with the reasoning. Safe defaults should always be the goal, especially
when easily implemented.
In my opinion it would be far easier to fix the default VCL, rather than
post warnings all over the docs, but anything is better than causing an
information disclosure problem for unsuspecting users.
