Future of ESI

[Janne Kario <janne.kario@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've understood that the ESI support in squid is still experimental. 
What is the status of ESI in general? Akamai, Oracle Web Cache and IBM 
WebSphere seem to support it. However, articles on ESI date back to 
2001-2004 and JESI (Java ESI tag library) still lacks a reference 
implementation. Additionally, there is very little information about ESI 
outside Akamai/IBM/Oracle websites. These small signs have lead me to 
believe that nobody cares and it's not that great a technology in the 
first place.

What will become of ESI?

I'm working on a project which is to produce a public website with ads 
and some personalized content blocks (on the front page). I'm evaluating 
whether ESI might be the silver bullet.
