config

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 SP9 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:

  • bytes to report file size as a whole number in the format 12,345,678.

  • abbrev to report file size as a number of KB or MB. This is the default value.

Example

<!--#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.
