Description

I know lighttpd has mod_magnet, but an implementation of the ESI standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/esi-lang) would be a good match for lighttpd's performance reputation. There are a number of os projects that help serve up ESI cacheable content (zope, java jsp taglibs, just a matter of time for rails) but few to actually do the caching. Squid 3 will have ESI support, and there are some java implementations but thats about it.

Currently IBM's version of apache has a non-free implementation (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v6r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.commerce.admin.doc/concepts/cdc_esi.htm), and Oracle's webserver has one too (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/web_cache/index.html).

Lighty should have one to compliment mod_magnet.
