ESI is indeed not impressive, but it is also aimed at a very narrow market which Varnish is not (3rd party but non-adverserial caching) The only truly precise way to characterize varnish, IMO, is "A webserver that uses HTTP to get at its content". That description on the other hand, is so general as to be almost without meaning. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ varnish-dev mailing list varnish-dev@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-dev
