I have several pages that use SSI's (server side include) in the form <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/script.cgi"-->
I would like for pages on another server to use the same script, but when I type the command <!--#include virtual="http://domain_name/cgi-bin/script.cgi"-->, I get an error processing the directive.

How do you configure a sever to allow external SSI requests?

If it is not possible to use the SSI, I might want to setup a cron job that would ftp updated files to the external server every hour. Is this possible? Do you have any other suggestions?

If I'm not misstaking, the include SSI command is used <!--#include virtual="/path/to/file.ext" --#> (full path) and <!--#include file="file.ext" --#> (sam dir). I don't think you can use this to include a file from another server (and I'm glad you can't!).

A while back I wondered about this and pretty much discovered its not possible.

I did see a couple of scripts at http://www.cgi.resourceindex.com to do this but I dont remember which ones, plus the author required payment for use.

you can do this with ColdFusion
you can suck in other peoples web pages and everyting pretty cool at times ;)
