Server-Side Authentication and SSI (28 April 2008)

Today we'll discuss basic web server operation--what gets sent back and forth between a client and a server, and what's the order of operations.

Then I'll cover how to create an .htaccess file to restrict access to a directory on your site (server side authentication), as well as to create a custom 404 error page, or change the way the server handles various file types.

We'll also discuss methods for including dynamic information on your pages, particularly Server-Side Includes (SSI).
