1356N/A<p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
1395N/A    headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
1356N/A    headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
561N/A    Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
561N/A    influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
    curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
    this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
    CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>


<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>

<usage>

<p>Specifies the name of the directory in which Apache can find
    meta information files. The directory is usually a 'hidden'
    subdirectory of the directory that contains the file being
    accessed. Set to "<code>.</code>" to look in the same directory
    as the file.</p>

<usage>

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