The reason for this configuration option is that in order to process the ESI tags in Varnish you need to do SSL offloading since Varnish can not terminate an SSL connection. This is possible but not available in all hosting setups. Therefore we'll keep this option.
Currently setting "Disable ESI over HTTPS" to No would actually disable ESI everywhere. I think we could actually remove the flag completely, as the ESI-capable header would only come in if Varnish was there to set it.
