Server Side Includes<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Server side includes are allowed with the exception of Exec which is <\/span>disallowed. Although it is slightly more work (you have to spit out a <\/span>header), just about anything you could do with Exec can be done with a CGI <\/span>script. The reason Exec is disallowed is that, unlike CGI scripts, it is <\/span>not restricted to one directory and thus it is easy to accidentally <\/span>execute the wrong thing with unknown and possibly nasty consequences.\u00a0 Also, CGI and PHP is executed with your user ID, there is no method of doing that with SSI.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Normally, “.html” files are not parsed for SSI directives. There are <\/span>two ways to tell the server to parse a file for SSI directives. If you <\/span>give the file an extension of “.shtml” the server will parse the file for <\/span>SSI directives. Also, if you set the user execute bit the file will be <\/span>parsed for SSI directives. This is known as the Apache X-bit hack, <\/span>although today it is a standard feature. To do this type:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

     chmod u+x file.html\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The include syntax to use inside an HTML file to include another file is:<\/span><\/p>\n
     <!--#include file=\"included.html\" -->\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cache control is no longer done with the group execute bit. This must <\/span>now be done with a “.htaccess” file. This method is far more <\/span>flexible in that not only can you specify what and what not to cache, but <\/span>you can specify how long to cache it and with what criteria. See http:\/\/httpd.apache.org\/docs\/current\/mod\/mod_expires.html <\/a><\/span>for details.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
