View Shtml Extra Quality -

For high-quality rendering, Nginx requires the http_ssi_module.

location ~ \.shtml$ 
    ssi on;
    ssi_types text/html;

If you’re not the server admin but need to verify how an SHTML page actually appears to end users, use these browser-based techniques:

The most reliable way to "view shtml extra quality" is to bypass the browser's "View Source" fetish and request the file as the server renders it. view shtml extra quality

SSILogLevel debug SSILog ssi_log

Then use an SSI directive to echo parsed content: If you’re not the server admin but need

<!--#config errmsg="[Error: Include Failed]" -->
<pre>
<!--#include virtual="/debug/ssi_status.html" -->
</pre>

This shows you the server's final output after all SSI directives have been executed. This is the "extra quality" view because it matches exactly what the browser's rendering engine received.

Pro Tip: In the Network tab, right-click on the request → "Copy" → "Copy Response" to paste the fully rendered output into a diff tool (e.g., Beyond Compare, VS Code Diff) to compare production vs. staging SHTML outputs. Then use an SSI directive to echo parsed content: &lt;

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome() driver.get("http://site.com/page.shtml")

Install the SSI Viewer extension (ID: benscho.ssi-viewer). Right-click any .shtml file → “Preview with SSI”. It resolves includes relative to your workspace.

Quality gain: Syntax highlighting + click-through includes + live error detection.
