I don't use server side includes (because my original host didn't support
them), but I believe that ssi is quite independent of asp (or php etc). The
Apache documentation puts it more clearly than I could
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html): "They [SSI] let you add
dynamically generated content to an existing HTML page, without having to
serve the entire page via a CGI program, or other dynamic technology." So,
ssi is implemented by the webserver and is different from asp, php etc where
it delegates to another application. (I'm sure someone will put me right if
I'm mistaken.)

Sorry, my knowledge of ssi is rather lacking. A search through the Apache
documentation should show you what you need to know. If you are using IIS
then this might be a good starting place -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q203064, but to be
honest its just the first relevant looking article that came up when I
searched for "ssi iis".
