37 <p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
38 headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
39 headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
40 Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
41 influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
42 curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
43 this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
44 CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>
46 <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>

73 meta information files. The directory is usually a 'hidden'
74 subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being
75 accessed. Set to "<code>.</code>" to look in the same directory

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