## XBitHack

Syntax: XBitHack status
Default: `XBitHack off`
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: Options
Status: Base
Module: mod_include

The XBitHack directives controls the parsing of ordinary html documents. This directive only affects files associated with the MIME type `text/html`. Status can have the following values:

off
  No special treatment of executable files.
on
  Any file that has the user-execute bit set will be treated as a server-parsed html document.
full
  As for `on` but also test the group-execute bit. If it is set, then set the Last-modified date of the returned file to be the last modified time of the file. If it is not set, then no last-modified date is sent. Setting this bit allows clients and proxies to cache the result of the request.

  Note: you would not want to use this, for example, when you `#include` a CGI that produces different output on each hit (or potentially depends on the hit).
