34<h3>Summary</h3>
35
36    <p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
37    headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
38    headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
39    Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
40    influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
41    curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
42    this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
43    CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>
44
45    <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>

72    meta information files. The directory is usually a 'hidden'
73    subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being
74    accessed. Set to "<code>.</code>" to look in the same directory
75    as the file:</p>
76

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