39 <p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
40 headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
41 headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
42 Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
43 influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
44 curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
45 this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
46 CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>
48 <p>More information on the <a href="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Daemon/User/Config/General.html#MetaDir">CERN metafile semantics</a> is available.</p>

75 meta information files. The directory is usually a 'hidden'
76 subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being
77 accessed. Set to "<code>.</code>" to look in the same directory
80 <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">MetaDir .</pre>

116 <p>Specifies the file name suffix for the file containing the
117 meta information. For example, the default values for the two
118 directives will cause a request to
119 <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/index.html</code> to look in
120 <code>DOCUMENT_ROOT/somedir/.web/index.html.meta</code> and
121 will use its contents to generate additional MIME header
