Basics

I made a very simple test action:

/**
 * @Route("/public/debug/varnish", name="debug_varnish")
 * @Template
 */
public function varnishAction()
{
    return [];
}
{# varnish.html.twig #}
<html>
<body>
    <h1>Layout</h1>
    <hr />
    {{ render_esi(controller('TestBundle:Debug:esi')) }}
</body>
</html>

The included action and twig isn't important now.

The test

The Varnish needs the Surrogate-Control: content="ESI/1.0" header in the response. Look what happens:

curl -H 'host:www.domain.com' -H 'Surrogate-Capability: abc=ESI/1.0' http://127.0.0.1:8080/public/debug/varnish

The response:

<html>
<body>
    <h1>Layout</h1>
    <hr />
    <esi:include src="/_proxy?_path=_format%3Dhtml%26_locale%3Den_US%26_controller%3DTestBundle%253ADebug%253Aesi" onerror="continue" />
</body>
</html>

Everythings alright! But look the headers:

curl -I -H 'host:www.domain.com' -H 'Surrogate-Capability: abc=ESI/1.0' http://127.0.0.1:8080/public/debug/varnish

The output:

There isn't Surrogate-Control header!

\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpCache\Esi class

There is a very-very simple function, which add Surrogate-Control header, if content contains <esi:include string:

/**
 * Adds HTTP headers to specify that the Response needs to be parsed for ESI.
 *
 * This method only adds an ESI HTTP header if the Response has some ESI tags.
 *
 * @param Response $response A Response instance
 */
public function addSurrogateControl(Response $response)
{
    if (false !== strpos($response->getContent(), '<esi:include')) {
        $response->headers->set('Surrogate-Control', 'content="ESI/1.0"');
    }
}

But it doesn't! The if is "true". When I call with this:

public function addSurrogateControl(Response $response)
{
    var_dump(false !== strpos($response->getContent(), '<esi:include'));
    if (false !== strpos($response->getContent(), '<esi:include')) {
        echo "before add header\n";
        $response->headers->set('Surrogate-Control', 'content="ESI/1.0"');
        echo "after add header\n";
    }
    echo "after if"
}
curl -H 'host:www.domain.com' -H 'Surrogate-Capability: abc=ESI/1.0' http://127.0.0.1:8080/public/debug/varnish

The response:

(bool) true
before add header
after add header
after if
<html>
<body>
    <h1>Layout</h1>
    <hr />
    <esi:include src="/_proxy?_path=_format%3Dhtml%26_locale%3Den_US%26_controller%3DTestBundle%253ADebug%253Aesi" onerror="continue" />
</body>
</html>
curl -I -H 'host:www.domain.com' -H 'Surrogate-Capability: abc=ESI/1.0' http://127.0.0.1:8080/public/debug/varnish

The output:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.2.1

WHERE IS THE Surrogate-Control HEADER? :-o

More tests:

public function addSurrogateControl(Response $response)
{
    // [1]
    if (false !== strpos($response->getContent(), '<esi:include')) {
        // [2]
    }
    // [3]
}

With $response->headers->set('Surrogate-Control', 'content="ESI/1.0"'); and (!!!) header('Test: test OK'):

  • [1] place: WORK!
  • [2] original place: doesn't work :(
  • [3] place: WORK!

Ok. So if ANY header modification is in the IF, it doesn't work. Why?

The magic

When I change the $response->getContent() with 'test <esi:include test' in the if condition, then everthing works fine. The Response class getContent() function:

public function getContent()
{
    return $this->content;
}

I don't understand :-/
