Logging of POST requests, cookies and XID in varnish (varnishncsa)

Question

I would like to include following information in my varnishncsa logs (I need to relate some issues with specific users).

content of post requests
cookie with full content
XID

After reading https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/reference/varnishncsa.html I am not really sure how I can achieve it.

BTW, I am not able to add the "varnishncsa" tag to the question - someone can add it (with higher reputation? :P).

It is possible with the varnish 3.0.3 release:

Do you absolutely need to use varnishncsa? Varnishlog (with some extra command line options or shell piping magic) can give you the cookies (and their contents), and the XID, easily. I doubt the full content of the POST requests is available to log.
