1. The problem I’m having:
I have locally saved mine old web-site. This site was built with SSI, CGI (Perl scripts) technologies. I already successfully adapt it for running with lighttpd. Now I want to adapt this site for running with Caddy2.
So, for replacing original SSI technology I need to use Caddy’s templates with include. Goal is to include one HTML file into another.
Example of my site’s file structure:
web-site’s root/index.shtml
web-site’s root/left.html
“index.shtml” includes “left.html” by this string:
<!--#include virtual="left.html"-->
But for now, I am using these test files with default delimiters “{{” “}}”:
web-site’s root/index.html
web-site’s root/index.shtml
web-site’s root/include.htm
Now my tryouts with defaults:
- If index file is index.html
curl -v http://example.com/- include works - If directly get “index.html”
curl -v http://example.com/index.html- include works - If use as index file “index.shtml”
curl -v http://example.com/index.shtml- include do not work nor with indirect access, nor with direct access
My bet that problem is somehow connected with MIME. Docs:
…any responses that do not have a qualifying Content-Type will not be evaluated as templates
But, as testing “index.shtml” I am using simply renamed same “index.html”:
<html>
<body>
{{include "./include.htm"}}
<br>
{{.RemoteIP}}
</body>
</html>
Now I am absolutely do not know what to do else. Thanks for any help!
