I should have looked it up and provided a link to it when I posted this. Thanks for the link! Yea, that Ruby on Rails article is what got me thinking about SSI again.

The original article perhaps gives a slightly more in depth explanation of the concepts. See: http://blog.kovyrin.net/2007/08/05/using-nginx-ssi-and-memcache-to-make-your-web-applications-faster/ I have been of the opinion for quite a while that SSI is under valued. This was part of the reason for implementing ability to add Python code direct into SSI pages into mod_python. Unfortunately most seem to have the mindset of using exclusively Python, or Ruby, or PHP etc, and don't see that the web server(s) as a whole can be seen as the application framework. In some respects this was more how things were with CGI, but the idea seemed to fade as CGI was replaced with these language specific mechanisms for web application development.
