Make Varnish 3.x handle jsonp requests so that we can cache them (even when jQuery generates random callback function names when using $.getJSON). Inspired by https://gist.github.com/simonw/640331 and adapted for Varnish 3.x.
#<jsonp>
# We go BACK to varnish to get it to generate an ESI template that
# generates a JSON-P response.

.host = "127.0.0.1";

}
# <jsonp>
# How the jsonp_template_backend dispatches to the ESI generating code:
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.url == "/JSONP-ESI-TEMPLATE") {
error 760;
