1.3.15 testing - SSI

I have just been doing some simple SSI testing (on both Win2k and
WinME). It all seems to be working OK except that
<!--#echo var="SERVER_SIGNATURE" -->
mucks up the formatting. A simple test.shtml is as follows;

====8<=============8<================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
Server sig is <!--#echo var="SERVER_SIGNATURE" -->
</BODY>
</HTML>
====8<=============8<================================

The output I get is;

====8<=============8<================================
Server sig is <ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.15-apache-1.3_20001213171201.tar.gz
Server at <A HREF="mailto:abraund_news@mail.com">192.168.0.67</A> Port
80</ADDRESS>
====8<=============8<================================

I don't think this is a new problem, I remember seeing something like
this months ago, but didn't report it :(

Uh oh. You forgot to add the "encoding" parameter to the #echo
command, which is available since apache_1.3.12; it defaults to
encoding="entity" and thus will rewrite the "<ADDRESS>" to "&lt;ADDRESS&gt;".

See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_include#echo> for details.

Fix: use 
  Server sig is 
instead.

Other than that, I did not notice any problems in 1.3.15 regarding XSSI.
