I have a basic web application packaged as an EAR deployed on GlassFish.
The web module has some html files.
The html files have a common footer, an html file, that I would like to extract out and make an include.
When I do, and put:
<!--#include virtual="insertthisfile.html" -->
in an html file, it does not work.
Should this work?
This is a technique called Server-Side Includes (SSI). It may not be enabled on your web host. If it is, sometimes they force a .shtml extension to be required for included files, so try renaming your file insertthisfile.shtml.
If that doesn't work, you might be able to enable SSIs in a .htaccess file (assuming your web server is Apache). You can find instructions on how to do this by googling. There's a decent set here.
If that fails, I would contact your web host and see if they have SSIs enabled.
Should this work?
Perhaps, at some special settings, with some experienced programmer, this could be useful.
In my case the include statement seems to be ignored.
I could include some text with
(embed src="include.shtml")
(/embed)
Above, I type () instead of angular brackets.
With the "embed", the setting in the header of the page does not apply to the included text; it should be repeated again, and, by default, the result is ugly.
It looks strange, as if the designers of the html did not build-in the very basic tool, the include command. For short articles, the include could save an order of magnitude in the size of files.

I have a set of templates as files, like base.html, login.html, profile.html, header.html and so on. They are structured in folders.
It's fine to have them as separate files during development but when I deploy the app, I'd like to have them all embedded as strings or parsed and compiled templates ready to use from the code as usual.
How should I better make these templates as Go code? So that I don't have to have a templates folder in production, but everything in the single executable file?
With Go 1.16 there would be official "embed" package and the following would be possible (is possible if you read this after February 2021):
//go:embed "mytemplate.tmpl"
var myTemplate string
This code embeds mytemplate.html at compile time and it becomes available as a string (or as []byte or as a FileSystem, if you wish). No 3rd-party tools or libraries needed.
The most simple solution is to embed templates in string literal inside Go source code.
There is a tool that can help, see go-bindata.
I used go generate in some of previous projects for this type of operation, see blog post on go generate command for introduction.
As of the Go 1.16 release, there is the //go:embed comment directive.
This allows you to directly embed files in your binary.

In addition to go-bindata which was already mentioned, there is go-bindata-assetfs which you can use to serve static files from a webserver. It's good for Javascript, CSS, etc.
How do I find the filename of an website I am inspecting with Firebug? As example when I look on http://example.org/ I can view inspect the Element, I see the whole html structure but I didn`t find the filename. I am searching for index.html or something in that way. Maybe this is an analog question, but I am not sure, because he/she is working with php. LINK
I know there are some solutions with Dreamweaver or other tools but I am searching for an easy way to figure that out with Firebug or an free Browser Add-On. I Hope you have a solution for that.
The URL you entered is the one that usually returns the main HTML contents. Though on most pages nowadays the HTML is altered using JavaScript. Also, pages are very often dynamically generated on the server.
So, in most cases there is no static .html file.
For what it's worth, you can see all network requests and their responses within Firebug's Net panel.
Note that the URL path doesn't necessarily reflect a file path on the server's file system. It is depending on the server configuration, where a specific URL maps to in the file system. The simplest example is the index file that is automatically called when a domain is accessed. In the case of http://example.org the server automatically loads a file index.html in the file system, for example.
So, in order to get the file name on the file system, you need to either check the server configuration or the related access logs.
So I'm recreating a website from web.archive.org. I've downloaded it and it has many pages. The problem is that the past site was a forum php script and now I obviously can't recreate it again. Nevertheless I will be satisfied with only being an html until I build something else.
So the problem now is that there are a lot of files generated from the query urls like this:
index.php#lang=fr
index.php#lang=fr§ion=4
index.php#lang=fr§ion=5
index.php#section=15&fonc=imp&lang=fr
etc...
And when I upload these files to my server the browser threats these no-extension files as text instead of an html, despite the html content inside.
Can anyone tell me why is this happening and is there an easy way to solve it?
EDIT: So apparently is the download software that I used which replaced the original urls ? with #. But if I just bulk rename all files from # to ? they still won't open. So how about the ultimate solution below, how to do that painless and fast?
Ultimately I would like to place each of the old files in one folder and rename them to html and then create htaccess rules from the original URLs to each file respectively in that folder. However doing this manually would take infinite time. So can anyone suggest a simpler solution to this?
This happens because your default content type is likely configured to be text/plain (which is the default in Apache). With HTTP, a resource type is not indicated by a file name extension, it is indicated by the Content-Type response header.
I think that you will have to set the default Content-Type header with this directive in your configuration:
DefaultType text/html

Dear Haskell community I have written my first gui application and decided to use
threepenny-gui to do so.
The task is the following search the files in a given folder for matches and provide links to open those files. In addition I made nice parse and render function as the files (mostly) have a special formatting.
But now I have stumbled upon a problem - most browsers prohibit links to local files by href="file://localhost/home/user/folder/file.pdf" being opened, for security reasons, which I do understand and find completely sensible.
I tried to use href="./file.pdf" when the program and the file are in the same folder, which also doesn't seem to work.
The code of the whole application is available at github/epsilonhalbe, I run it in a folder and access it via a browser at localhost:100000
The HTTP server provided by threepenny-gui will serve up static content from the directory you specify in tpStatic. Put your files in that directory, and make your links' paths be relative to it, and you'll be good to go!
As of threepenny-gui-0.4.*, there are also two functions loadFile and loadDirectory that can be used to serve a local file or directory at an automatically generated URL. This can be useful if the tpStatic field is not enough.
So, I've been trying to get a web page to display links to videos (over a symbolic link) dynamically (i.e., without hardcoding an <a></a> tag for each one) I have, and I think I may have found a solution, albeit a hacky one:
Video
Ignoring that this is a horrible way to do this, does anyone know how to format the following?:
I'm guessing there is an apache config file somewhere, but it is extremely hard to search for it as I do not know what it is called when files are just listed in this manner.
i'm basically looking to resize the widths of columns, and maybe even do some pretty-fication.
this is all running on my web/file server and is being accessed form my local machine.
This is what you're looking for:
http://perishablepress.com/better-default-directory-views-with-htaccess/
This tutorial details how directory listing by Apache can be modified to suit your taste using HTAccess file.
Using Apache HeaderName and ReadmeName directives and the module "mod_autoindex.c" you can add custom markup to your directory listing pages.
For displaying links to A/V and other files, look at my website: https://wrcraig.com/ApacheDirectoryDescriptions.
It goes beyond the default directory description, providing a spreadsheet to assist in creating detailed descriptions and exporting them in FancyIndex/AddDescription format for inclusion in .htaccess.
It also provides a menu driven BASH scripted alternative, using the FancyIndex descriptive data above (automatically adding A/V durations) to recursively populate a custom index.html while retaining the security features of .htaccess.
The site has examples of the input spreadsheet and both the FancyIndex output and the optional BASH scripted output.
