If you use an SSI to execute a CGI, all the headers from the CGI are not passed through to the browser. Specifically, I have tried this with headers "Set-cookie" and "Expires", with no luck. I think "Status" goes through, but have not verified that. The reason why I have encountered this now is because Netscape will (moronically) cache SSI's or CGI's if you set it to 'never' check cached items. By sending an 'Expires' header, a CGI will be forced to decache. >How-To-Repeat: Just make a simple CGI that sets a cookie, and call it with an SSI. Did you get the cookie? >Fix: Certainly -- send those headers on through! :-) %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
