I just looked through the NCSA httpd source code and found
no way to specify an Expires: header for a file. If this
was a CGI script, I know I could add one myself, but how
do I tell the server to send an Expires: header for an
ordinary HTML or GIF file?
I realize this is getting off track, but it'd be nice to
be able to specify HTTP headers for random files. For the
Unix environment, perhaps file `foo.html' could have an
associated `foo.html.hdr' file that the HTTP server knows
to look for, and adds any headers found there (like Expires).
This would also be a solution to the problem of moved files
-- if I rename `foo.html' to `bar.html', then `foo.html.hdr'
could contain `Location: bar.html' (is that right?), without
having to modify httpd's config file.
