Authcache supports ESI. Looking at the code for SSI it shouldn't be too difficult to support this with an additional module

Maybe. Please post some links to good reference material here, then I will take a look.

I don't mind writing the module. I think it should be based on the existing ESI module

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssi_module.html - is a good guide from nginx

http://www.programering.com/a/MDO5YjMwATQ.html - offers a good idea of the differences between ESI and SSI

and the module description here is a good idea of the tag differences https://www.drupal.org/project/esi

Tag support
The ESI module supports three types of server/edge includes tags:

ESI: standard Edge-Side Include tags

SSI: Server-Side Include tags (typically used on nginx cache servers)

Remote SSI: An alternative SSI tag syntax, used by mod_publisher

Great. Note that emitting the SSI tags is only one half the battle. It is at least as important that the results are cached somehow. Otherwise Authcache might even slow down a site instead of speeding it up, e.g., if Drupal is always bootstrapped multiple times per request. Do you think this is possible with proxy_cache? Do you have an idea whether this respects the Vary response header?

Indeed - looked into this further. Will work on a module :)

P.s. awesome module by the way.
