Having trouble with ESI headers

Hi Tom,

 

 

Yes the Surrogate-Control header is required when dealing with ESI. This lets WebAccelerator know that the content being received contains ESI tags and must be assembled on the way out. Without the Surrogate-Control headers the ESI tags will be passed as is to the client and the page will not be rendered properly.
