Revision: 1.7
Committed: Tue Mar 23 20:22:37 2004 UTC (20 years, 9 months ago) by tdb
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.6: +1 -4 lines
Log Message:
Move to .xhtml files instead of .shtml. They still use SSI.

We're now validating as XHTML 1.1 (or, at least we will be when I've tested
every page of the site to make sure it validates). I've put the necessary
frigs in the webserver so it returns the content-type as text/html if the
web browser doesn't make any claims to know about application/xhtml+xml
(which is the content type defined by the XHTML standards).

104 i-scream.&nbsp; ihost is centrally configured by the server it connects to
105 and periodically sends information about the machine on which it is
106 running.&nbsp; The ihost is written in Perl, so can be easily altered to
107 send extra information to your i-scream server.</font>
