Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3
Apache module mod_cern_meta
This module provides for CERN httpd metafile semantics.
Status:
Extension
Source
File: mod_cern_meta.c
Module
Identifier: cern_meta_module
Compatibility:
Available in Apache 1.1 and later.
Summary
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.
More information on the
CERN
metafile semantics is available.

Status:

Module:
mod_cern_meta
Compatibility:
MetaDir is only available in Apache 1.1 and later.
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 "." to look in the same directory as the file.

Module:
mod_cern_meta
Compatibility:
MetaSuffix is only available in Apache 1.1 and later.
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 DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/index.html
to look in DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/.web/index.html.meta and will use its contents
to generate additional MIME header information.
