71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive <p>Emulate the CERN HTTPD Meta file semantics. Meta files are HTTP
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive headers that can be output in addition to the normal range of
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive headers for each file accessed. They appear rather like the
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive Apache .asis files, and are able to provide a crude way of
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive influencing the Expires: header, as well as providing other
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive curiosities. There are many ways to manage meta information,
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive this one was chosen because there is already a large number of
71bdd7b1bc7c725bfd109a40fe690e5cdee02c2aslive CERN users who can exploit this module.</p>
