test SSI

Server Side Include (SSI)

Server Side Include (SSI) refers to system call from within an HTML document. What happens is that when the server gets a request to send an HTML page that contains SSI's, the server interprets the information and sends that information instead of the actual code.

If I type  the server reads that as a command that needs to be interpreted and then sends you the information obtained by running that command. The server basically reads a variable called REMOTE_ADDR that comes with your request and sends you what that variable is equal to - in this case - 38.103.63.16 .

The following examples have text preceding and then the Interpreted requests are in Bold. The command that is entered to achieve the SSI is on the line following each example.
