manipulating page content

yes, unfortunately that is what I am looking for. I am trying to see if
varnish can "replicate" the functionality of a commercial cache appliance
from a "well-known" vendor.

ESI would probably work and be much easier, but reading the wiki (
http://varnish-cache.org/wiki/ESIfeatures) it seems like Varnish doesn't yet
support the "Content substitution based on variables" functionality.

I am not well versed in ESI, but I think would be looking to do something
like this:
<esi:vars>
<a href="
http://www.example.com/getpage?sessionKey=$(QUERY_STRING{'sessionKey'})"/>get
page</a>
</esi:vars>

In the wiki, it says "For now we have deemed this feature uninteresting, but
adding it is just a matter of programming." What are the chances of getting
support for variables in a future release?
