+== Gotchas
+
+The default TTL for most actions is set to 0, since for most cases you'll probably want to be fairly explicit about what pages do get cached by varnish. The default cache header is typically
+
+  Cache-Control: max-age=0, no-cache, private
+
+This is good for normal controller actions, since you won't want to cache them. If TTL for an action is set to 0, it won't mess with the default header. 
+
+The key gotcha here is that cached pages strip cookies, so if your application relies on sessions and uses authenticity tokens, the user will need a session cookie set before form actions will work. Setting default TTL to 0 here will make sure these session cookies won't break.
+
+As a result, all you have to do to set a cacheable action is the before filter above.
