Description

zeus currently supports this. not sure if apache does it. i'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature.

currently it tries to process the entire string as a file. it doesn't split on "?" for the query string. while i think it's improper design, i'm sure there's some other (poorly designed) websites out there.

would this be something mod_magnet might be able to do?

if so... i'd be willing to pay someone to make the appropriate lua script to do it.

Changing to low priority. This would be a fair amount of effort to implement, as lighttpd 1.4.x does not currently implement full subrequests within a handler.

@mike503: if still interested in sponsoring this feature, please contact me (email on my github page)

Is there any interest in using this feature, or has the world largely moved on from SSI?

It seems to me that increased processing power and machine virtualization (and isolation) are better replacements to the much more limited SSI sandbox.
