This supports the segreg paper.
home.html is the actual SSI-parsed file. index.shtml
is a soft link to it so that the CS web server is fooled into
SSI-parsing it (only shtml files are parsed). However, Front Page
requires .html in the filename to enable it's HTML design pane
so FP gets to edit home.html. This nonsense is repeated for any
file containing SSI.
SSI is used to automatically generate dates of last updates
and sizes of files, so that the web authors doesn't have to
type either of these or update the web pages' text when the
dates and file sizes change.
Editing is done on an AFS-enabled Windows PC by using the AFS path so that
FP can update the files without going through the web server.
I have not found a way to make FP edit HTML SSI <--#...--> commands
in it's fancy WYSIWYG design pane so I type them into it's
HTML editor pane directly.
Streaming video is via a URL pointer to UNC's campus streamer,
media10.unc.edu. The streamed videos are stored on isis.unc.edu
in RealPlayer G2 format, and since the campus folks (Todd Stabler)
said that the multi-speed all-on-one format was not being streamed
properly, I choose 3 speeds to match home use (56K), slow offices
and fast offices.
