No, as there to my knowledge is no Vary header syntax for specifying which
cookie the response entity varies based on, so all that the origin web
serer can say is that the response varies on cookies, not which. It is
very hard for Squid to guess what to look for.
However, if you are in an accelerator context then there should be no
problem extending the X-Accelerator-Vary header with a custom syntax for
this purpose. The amount of modifications needed to Squid to support
this would be very small.
