Chrome doesn't respect Vary headers (see bug 766080 - or http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=79758). This is a problem for us since the locale isn't in the URL anymore. We're instead setting locale and region in cookies, and the pages need to be cached differently based on those. In Firefox we can use Vary, and everything is peachy. In Chrome we cannot. Here's what andym suggests: 14:07 < andym> etag per language?
etag for every page for every language?
Does this bug surface on normal page views or is it only on fragment loads? If it's the latter, can't we just add the locale to the query string parameter that we're already passing for Chrome fragment loads?

It's not pretty and it eats a few bytes per request [in Chrome], but it works around their broken Vary support properly. https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/commit/b0596842b35656742be580051b97dabb03352dfe
