ESI (Edge-Site Includes)

If you have a tag in HTML like so:

<esi:include src="/shopping_cart" />

 
 

...and it passes through some ESI server/service that knows what to do with the ESI markup, this tag, which is otherwise illegitimate as HTML, can be replaced with something competent. That tends to be data sucked down from another web source. A reverse proxy middleman can do these sorts of manipulations.
