Hello -
I am trying to use SSI to get data from a text file that is not local. I
used the syntax <!--#include
virtual="http://OtherServerHere/~MyUserName/updates.txt" -->
This does not seem to work, however I know the server is parsing the page
because if I use a reference to a file inside my DocRoot Folder, it shows up
correctly.
I have tried changing the perlssi script in the program root to force
$DOCPATH = 'http://OtherServerHere/~MyUserName/'; and using simply
"/updates.txt" in the Include line of the shtml page, but it is almost as
though perlssi is not even used, it still will open local files if a file
exists. There is no error if it does not exist. I even set up a filter for
.shtml to use perlssi
How can I make this work?
Also - I do have access to the update.txt file via a H: Drive Mapping, but
can't seem to get it to work with Include File either.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!
