Old platform I had no problem at all. Now, all my SSI's are giving me this:

The URL can only contain alphanumerics plus the following characters: /.,=:_-

my .htaccess looks like this because all my html files are *.htm, shouldn't be a problem

------------------------------------------------------------
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm
Options +Includes

Any ideas? :confused:

Try changing the file type of the included file to .txt, and make sure they don't have punctuation other than the standard dot, dash or underline. I don't think the .htaccess is relevant.

There is some odd restriction on the new platform that has been noted before.

Huh, I don't have a problem with my includes (SSI). Of course, mostly they are plain URL links but also some META tags that repeat in the <head> of each page. Do you have a link to threads where it has been "noted before"? (And yes, I'll search also ;))

OK, so I've been searching. Haven't found a solution to my problem yet, but...

To OP suftware8:
See if this might help:

Apparently the solution given preloads the variables/arguments after the ? in the URL (assuming you have such).

Good luck,

If you are using Query strings in SSI, here is the best instructional post ;)
