159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan <p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
159d09a20817016f09b3ea28d1bdada4a336bb91Mark Phalan CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>
