• SSIs
are enabled by default for your account.
• The simplest example of server-parsed HTML is to have a file
"foo.shtml" containing this text:
Line one
<!--#exec cgi="mycgi.cgi" --><P>
Line three
And then have a file "mycgi.cgi" that contains, on Unix:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Line Two";
And when you access "foo.shtml", it will output:
Line one
Line two
Line three
•
SSI command that is not allowed:
EXEC CMD
If your include
directive is <!--#exec cgi="..." -->, then the cgi program you run must
output a standard CGI header (Content-type: text/html)
Any file named foo.shtml will be parsed automatically by Apache on our servers.
Do not put any spaces before the '#' character in your include directives;
if you have
"<!-- #exec" (incorrect) instead of "<!--#exec" (correct), the line
will be ignored and not processed by the webserver.
Server-side includes in "custom trailers" will not work, since custom trailers
are appended to the output of your web pages after all other processing has
been done on them. Any server-side includes that you put into your custom
trailers will be sent directly to the browser without being parsed.
