• 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.
