RE: [users@httpd] Re: Alternatives to SSI (server side includes)? [EXT]

There are a number of things you can do:

1) Why are you doing what you are doing - i.e. why are you updating what is displayed to the user
2) Others have suggested using AJAX, another thing you can look at here is what and how you are retrieving the data.
	You can look at using a cleanup handler (sorry mod_perl user here!) which does all the work for you and writes/updates the database, and then your ajax retrieves the data...
3) You can possibly speed up code by using a write-through cache to avoid a lot of read/writes to your database
4) From what you are saying it isn't clear what you are doing - perhaps an example URL or two would be useful for us to offer some support...

Let me be more specific about the data flow I'm using with the landing
(home) page of my websites:

+ the first SSI line executes a CGI program that extracts the CGI and
SSL variables and their values. Data of interest include: requesting IP, email address in the SSL client certificate, time of page load

+ the second line executes a CGI program that generates a link to a
page that presents the current and past statistics of the visitor based on the stats in the db updated with the first CGI program
