Re: Dynamic web page

Hey,

there is not really a notion of filenames or files in httpd-cgi, since
its not built on top of a real filesystem. Files are only hardcoded
byte arrays that have an filename associated with them in the web
server.
Also, httpd-cgi certainly doesn't care about any standards that might
be associated with those file-types; the only difference between them,
as far as the server is concerned, is how they're processed. A file
with '.html' will simply be sent in its entirety to the client, while
'.shtml' files are processed with its simplistic scripting system.

Check out line 236 of httpd.c
(http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/uip-1.0-refman/a00185.html); this is
where it checks if there was an request for a .shtml file (and if so,
process it through the script interface), otherwise just send its
content directly back to the client. You can modify or remove this
very check and it will try to process all files (regardless of
'.shtml' or '.html' ending) through the script interface.

Greetings
