Accept-Language Issue

I do notice that the Vary header is malformed:

Vary: User-Agent Accept-Language

It should be comma-separated AFAIK.  Also, all of the lines from your last header dump have appended periods... not sure that's the actual output or just a paste glitch.

Perhaps Varnish is being very strict about malformed headers and dumping the connection immediately.  Which is probably a good thing, if true.

I have Zope instance that is proxied by nginx (doing address rewriting) that I want to be cached by varnish, but as soon as I configure Zope to add Accept-Language to Vary header, varnish starts closing connection when asked for object from Zope without returning any data. I'm using default.vcl
