Directives

MetaFiles

Module: mod_cern_meta
Syntax: MetaFiles on | off
Default: MetaFiles off
Context: directory
Override: none
Origin: Apache
Example: MetaFiles on

This directive allows you to emulate the CERN 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 like the .asis files, and are able to influence the Expires: header.

Parameter: on | off
  • Turns on or off the meta file processing on a per-directory basis.

Default: MetaDir .web
Context: directory

Example: MetaDir .meta Specifies the name of the

Specifies the name of the directory where HTTP Server can find meta information files. The directory is usually a hidden subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being accessed. Set directory name to "." in order to look in the same directory as the file. Hidden directories begin with "." so the default directory will be hidden.

Parameter: directoryname
  • The directoryname parameter specifies the name of the directory in which HTTP Server can find meta information files.

MetaSuffix

Module: mod_cern_meta
Syntax: MetaSuffix suffix
Default: MetaSuffix .meta
Context: directory
Override: none
Origin: Apache
Example: MetaSuffix .stuff

Specifies the file name suffix for the file containing the meta information. A request will cause the server to look in the file with the MetaSuffix in the MetaDir directory, and will use its contents to generate additional MIME header information.

Parameter: suffix
  • The suffix parameter is the file name suffix of the file containing the meta information.
