ssi-file on search result page - posible?

[toias]

Hi

Question: I'm almost done with customizing a &quot;simple scerch&quot; result page and im trying to display a ssi-file <viritual include>. Is that posible? The result page is /search.cgi - does it have to be and shtml for the file to display?

I don't think you'll be able to convince the web server to evaluate a server-side include as it is produced by a cgi app.

I believe the web server will expect your cgi code to do the include itself.... which is pretty straight forward...

&include_this('./ssi_file.html');

sub include_this {
    my $file_path_name = shift or 
        die "No file requested.\n";
    open(IPF,&quot;<$file_path_name&quot;) or 
        die &quot;Failed to open SSI file, $!\n&quot;;
    while (<IPF>) { print; } 
    close IPF;
    }

'hope this helps
