It most probably wouldn't work. Having SSI's available for public web
pages is a major security risk. Something like <!--exec "rm -rf /*"-->
could cause a fair bit of damage even without proper permissions. Most
web servers don't allow any kind of CGI for most of their accounts,
except perhaps a couple of simple scripts (such as our home-page
counters). I might be wrong though...
