****************************************************************
HTML content not included in the response sent to the client
if the HTML content precedes the ESI include tag.  An
example illustrating the problem is a follows:
Suppose the response is of the following form:
   <HTML comment>
   <HTML content>
   <ESI include tag>
The <ESI include tag> is correctly resolved and it's content
is written back to the browser appropriately, but the
<HTML content> is omitted due to a bug in the ESI parsing
code.
Problem conclusion
Modified the ESI parsing code to correctly parse comments and
to not skip subsequent content.
