I believe in that thread, Torsten was suggesting 3 different SSI techniques to get the Last-Modified header out. If this one doesn't work, maybe try the other two, or try them in combination. I don't know if any of these are specific to particular versions of Apache or other web servers, so you should probably look at the documentation for the server you're using. Also, I believe we had concluded in that thread that any SSI tag intended to generate an HTTP header MUST be at the very start of the document, before any HTML that will be output. As Geoff suggested, some verbose output from htdig may be helpful. > The sysadmin wants to avoid XBitHack as a workaround and can't figure out > any other way to add Last-Modified to the http headers.

Thanks, All the XBitHack does is enable SSI on .html files that have the execute bit turned on, treating them as .shtml files. If you're needing to use SSI tags to get the Last-Modified header to be output, presumably it's because the files are already server-parsed, so I don't see what the XBitHack would get you. If the files aren't server parsed, you should be getting the header based on the "mtime" of the file. If the files are server parsed, but not SSI, then it must be something else like ASP, JSP, PHP, or some other pre-processor, so you'd need to use whatever trick that pre-processor allows for getting the header out. -- Gilles R.
