How does one use SSI without changing file extensions to shtm?

Server Config
1

I read somewhere that there is an alternative method to indicate to the server to look for SSIs, without having to use the unconventional shtm file extension. Can someone either tell me about that, or help me locate a resource to read about how to do that?

Thanks!

I think the solution is to add the following line to your .htaccess file:

AddType text/html .shtml

which tells the server to treat all files with MIME-type text/html as though they are .shtml files (but I could be wrong … I just went with using .shtml extensions!)

I’m moving this to the Apache forum, where you might find more knowledgeable people can either confirm what I’ve said or tell me off for talking rubbish…

shtml is not required, only a secure server (and use of the 443 port).

I have a secure server with my host and it shares my content by which protocol is requested. Of course, I manage that via mod_rewrite so that the secure server is not abused.
