| <h2>Summary</h2> |
| <!-- XXX: Should mention other possibilities in Apache: mod_header --> |
| Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP |
| headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of |
| headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the |
| Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of |
| influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other |
| curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information, |
| this one was chosen because there is already a large number of |
| CERN users who can exploit this module. |
| |
| <p>More information on the <a |

| <p>Specifies the name of the directory in which Apache can find |
| meta information files. The directory is usually a 'hidden' |
| subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being |
| accessed. Set to "<code>.</code>" to look in the same directory |
| as the file.</p> |

| <p>Specifies the file name suffix for the file containing the |
| meta information. For example, the default values for the two |
| directives will cause a request to |
| <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/index.html</code> to look in |
| <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/.web/index.html.meta</code> and |
| will use its contents to generate additional MIME header |
| information.</p> |
