Processing a document at run-time is called parsing it; hence the term "parsed HTML" sometimes used for documents that contain SSI instructions. Parsing tends to be extremely resource-consumptive... This has been true with 1.1 version of Apache, but running a server that is doing several millions includes a day, I would rather leave word 'extremely" out of that sentence, it simply is not true any more. http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#footer You can make arbitrary changes to static documents by configuring an Action which launches a CGI script. The CGI is then responsible for setting a content-type and delivering the requested document (the location of which is passed in the PATH_TRANSLATED environment variable), along with whatever footer is needed. Combined with above information about SSI being _extremely_ resource- consumptive, one may think that using CGI or PHP this way would need less resources, which of course is not the case. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Take away the word extremely from resource-consumption in SSI part, and add warning about resources when using CGI to add footers (etc). >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
