Description

Recently moved a site from Apache to lighttpd. The only problem was the fact that lighttpd refused to interpret our SSI includes, which use single quotes, as so:

<!--#include virtual='/includes/head.txt' -->

A sed script was the solution for now, but I think it should be considered to allow the use of single quotes in SSI.

Here is the regular expression the ssi commands are "parsed" with:


<!--#([a-z]+)\\s+(?:([a-z]+)=\"(.*?)(?<!\\\\)\"\\s*)?(?:([a-z]+)=\"(.*?)(?<!\\\\)\"\\s*)?-->

I don't see how to allow single quotes there... sry. And we will not rewrite mod_ssi for 1.4, ssi isn't worth that imho.

If you have a regex which gives the same result and accepts single quotes just post it :)
