SSI and Firewalls

[Westat1]

Are there any firewall implications when using SSI?
Don't belive there are, but wanted to get your take.

Thanks

SSI means "Server-Side-Includes".

No one who doesn't have access to the internal workings of your server will ever know how your pages are composed. As soon as the data leaves your box, it's just another (hopefully valid) HTML page.

Westat1,
SSI is all handled by the webserver. The files are bundled as coded and then delivered via HTTP (HTTPS as the case may be). As long as your firewall allows for HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) then you shouldn't have any problems.

Caveat: Your webserver, database, and mail server are all behind the same firewall. Any RPCs must also be executed behind the firewall.
