It would be good to be able to include a header and footer to the 'details' page
to be able to theme it correctly with the rest of the site.

Example:
This page - http://mirror.archserver.org/iso/sums.txt.mirrorlist
Should be themed like this page - http://mirror.archserver.org/iso/

A configuration directive to include a header and/or footer could be added to
mirrorbrain.conf

If a header is included, then MB should only output a

rather than a
complete page.

Adding Apache configuration directives for this purpose is easy and I'm happy to do it
(at least something I mastered meanwhile ;)

I assume that this implies that the header/footer would be read from disk (resp. out of
memory) each time, as HeaderName/ReadmeName in mod_autoindex do. But that should be
okay.

I have a working patch and am about to commit it to trunk. One thing I just
wonder is if the

container should already be included; after all, it could
also be added into the header and footer HTML. Maybe it is more flexible if it's
not happening hard-coded in mod_mirrorbrain. On the other hand, one more div
shouldn't harm either.

It looks like this now:

INJECTED_HEADER

Mirrors for ...

  ...
</ul>

INJECTED_FOOTER ##### msg263 (view) Author: poeml Date: 2010-09-19.00:10:08

Thinking further, I wonder whether the

container wouldn't be useful always,
or even more so, if running with the plain built-in HTML.

In conjunction with the existing MirrorBrainMirrorlistStyleSheet directive it
would allow some theming as well.
