last-modified for CGI-output...

I would like a cgi-program to output have a static last-modified date. In Navigator, the last-modified date can be seen by selecting view-page info from the menu.

I tried a meta tag as follows, with no luck:
<META name="Last Modified" content="Sat, 26-Aug-95 21:57:56 GMT">

The CGI-program prints out the entire-page of the resultant-html.

The server I am using is Netscape Enterprise 3.0, on NT and Solaris.

I have heard about server-parsed HTML(SSI) for APACHE but do not know more about it myself.

Do you want this CGI to be "the page" or an element in the page. It appears that you'd like to have the last modified info be a part of the existing page is this correct?

Also, what server are you working with?

Are you allowed to have SSIs (server parsed HTML)?

There are several possible solutions. Answering these questions will allow for a solution which fits your needs better.

Why go through all of that how about a quick javascript.
just put this at the end of your page and it will do it.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
I tested this on netscape 3.01
and ie 3.02

Oh, furthermore, you'll have a much easier task of converting the times to GMT accurately if you add hours*3600 to the mtime of the file in epoch seconds, and then convert the new epoch seconds into the required format...

Is there a way to get HTML-header information into a page if I write directly from a daemon-program at a port as well?
