I have a tml file that I write to disk via Witango that contains the meta tag <@CGIPARAM name='SERVER_NAME'>, amongst others.
How can I escape the tag so that it is only evaluated by Witango when the file is served to the user, and not evalutated when the file is written to disk?
Thanks,
Jason.
Hi Mike,
I don't use Apache myself, but I understand mod_rewrite is just manipulating
the HTTP Response headers to provide the HTTP redirect instructions.
You can accomplish the same server-level results by writing your own custom
HTTP Response headers in Witango by assigning to the request$httpH

I would still recommend using @LEFT so only the first 8000 chars were

Hello Tom,
why don't you convert the fields to "text" fields in SQL server? I think
text fields might be better, even from a performance point of view. Text
fields are not limited in size, and you can still perform searches on them
(searches are costly, though).

Matt,
you know what, my include files are actually inside the web root, just
