Hi Tom,
There are a couple obstacles in your path, all of which are
surmountable. I guess the root of the problem is that you want SSI to
work, but you don't want to use SSI to insert the footer. Since that's
probably not a very common situation, I'm not sure this ground has been
tread before.
First, I'll need to modify Apache::SSI so that its output can be
filtered via Apache::Filter. Currently it can filter others' output,
but its output can't be filtered (it has to be last in the chain). This
change has been on my TODO list for a long time though, so I guess it's
about time I did something about it. Try version 2.16_01 at
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/~ken/modules/archive/ . It contains a new
Apache::FakeSSI module that's just a simple subclass of Apache::SSI, the
only change being that it doesn't do a full-blown subrequest for
includes, it just opens the file and handles it itself. (Subrequests
can't be filtered, Apache sends them straight to the browser.)
Note that Apache::FakeSSI <!--#exec cgi="..."--> doesn't work yet with
2.16_01.
Second, Apache::Footer will need slight changes to work with
Apache::Filter. I'm not sure whether there's an official place to
submit patches to the book code or not, but the following patch should
get you going:

Finally - I noticed that you're subclassing Apache::SSI, but I'm not
sure why you'd need to do that unless you need additional functionality
that you haven't mentioned.
