I’m trying to get Varnish to cache a magento store but it keeps setting different cookies each time I curl it:
$ curl -IL -X GET https://myurl.com/ |grep cookie
set-cookie: store=default; expires=Sat, 17-Apr-2021 19:51:22 GMT; Max-Age=31536000; path=/index.php/; HttpOnly
set-cookie: PHPSESSID=j5uhb0oe5qh8d212j12sfcnsaa; expires=Fri, 17-Apr-2020 20:51:22 GMT; Max-Age=3600; path=/; domain=myurl.com; HttpOnly
$ curl -IL -X GET https://myurl.com/ |grep cookie
set-cookie: store=default; expires=Sat, 17-Apr-2021 19:51:26 GMT; Max-Age=31536000; path=/index.php/; HttpOnly
set-cookie: PHPSESSID=dg09e4uaj9kiqo37rp4pk2g8co; expires=Fri, 17-Apr-2020 20:51:26 GMT; Max-Age=3600; path=/; domain=myurl.com; HttpOnly

Is this expected? site loads extremely slow, even if I reload it over and over again
Thanks for your time, gentleman.

Based on de
VCL
code, it doesn’t look like Varnish is removing thePHPSESSID
and thestore
cookies. One way to be sure, is by running the followingvarnishlog
command on your Varnish server:This will look at requests from requests to the homepage and will list the following things:
vcl_recv
)vcl_backend_request
)This will give you a clear indication whether or not cookies are remove by Varnish. You can replace the
cookie
header filter with any other header potentially being removed.If you want to know which VCL flow is run, you can add
-i "VCL_*"
and then you’ll see if it is a HIT, a MISS, or a deliberate PASS.Once you’ve done the necessary debugging, you’ll know if it is a Varnish issue, or a PHP issue.
check for X-Magento-Vary cookie. It might be on a Ajax response and this cookie is in hash routine
