Re: SSI

While I have yet to find any documentation stating you cannot pull an SSI 
from a different server, common sense tells me it's not possible 
anyway.  According to Apache documentation, "SSI (Server Side Includes) are 
directives that are placed in HTML pages, and evaluated on the server while 
the pages are being served."

Since a server must be configured to utilize SSIs, it seems to me you are 
attempting some type of foreign body implant and the server is not 
configured for external SSIs.  You might want to write to the Apache folks 
but I'm betting they will tell you it ain't possible.

I would think this to be a security feature, as well as a technical 
point.  Otherwise, it would be possible to create an SSI of an off-site web 
page, remove its headers and footers and just insert the content into your 
site and claim it as your own.
