SSI Includes

[Idontwantspam]

Is there any way to use SSI includes that will point to an absolute path?

I know one can use something like

<!--#include virtual="/somedirectory/somefile.html" -->

but I want to do something like

<!--#include something="http://example.com/includes/included.html" -->

with an absolute path beginning with HTTP:// This doesn't seem to be working for me. I have to use html with ssi includes here, PHP and require() aren't an option. Any idea anyone?

i dont beleive you can do that. i think SSI will only allow you do include a file that is directly on the server, meaning u cant use http..

again im not sure. but u can test to try to include google.com

from what i remember it wont work. not 100% sure tho.

Apparently it's not possible. Here's what I'm trying to do: there's a domain, let's call it example.com. In the root directory and some of the sub directories, there are files that I want to include a common footer and header into using SSI includes. I also want to include those files into some pages inside a subdomain, http://subdomain.example.com. So, I was going to have the files to be included reside in the root directory, and then have the files in the subdomain include the files at http://example.com. But apparently that's not possible. So I guess I'll just set it up separately for the different subdomain.

WTF? For some reason it keeps trying to turn those into links. I don't want that, but I can't get rid of them for some reason.

press f5 to fix the links

so ur trying to go from subdir to maindir? just use:

../footer.html

No! Not a subdirectory. A subdomain. Like this:

File is in http://www.example.com

I want to include that ^ file in a file that is at http://something.example.com. Not www.example.com/something, but http://something.example.com. I don't think it'll work.

And reloading the page doesn't make the links go away.

well arnt subdomains the same as subdirectories? they way they are displayed in ftp mode at least. do you just want to preserve the url name?
