 * Hi,
 * We are using Varnish for caching. We noticed that the cookie bps_request makes
   Varnish send back x-cache: MISS in the header.
 * When we “include” this cookie for Varnish, it returns x-cache: HIT which is what
   we want (caching to be active, especially for the home page). Our question is,
   is this OK and safe to do? Will it have any negative impacts for users or cause
   unexpected behaviours?
 * Thanks for your help.

 * Hi niftythree,
 * I’m not very familiar with Varnish, but I don’t see any problems with your solution.
 * Please let me know if you find any drawbacks.
