| <H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Apache module mod_cern_meta</H1> |
| |
| This module is contained in the <CODE>mod_cern_meta.c</CODE> file, and |
| is not compiled in by default. It provides for CERN httpd metafile |
| semantics. It is only available in Apache 1.1 and later. |
| |
| <H2>Summary</H2> |
| |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| |
| 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. |
