The config command initializes the format for other commands.
The errmsg attribute defines a message sent to the client when an error occurs while parsing the file. This error is also logged in the error log file.
The timefmt attribute determines the format of the date for the flastmod command. It uses the same format characters as the util_strftime function. The default time format is: "%A, %d-%b-%y %T". For more information about time formats, see the “Time Formats” section in the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP8 NSAPI Programmer’s Guide.
The sizefmt attribute determines the format of the file size for the fsize command. It can have one of these values:
<!--#config timefmt="%r %a %b %e, %Y" sizefmt="abbrev"-->
This sets the date format to a value such as 08:23:15 AM Wed Apr 15, 1996, and the file size format to the number of KB or MB of characters used by the file.
