Complex 8.3 file name question....

Scarpozzi

Lifer
I'm going to do my best explaining this. I'm running a web server and a file server. The web server is running apache and talks to the file server for the hosted directories using an apache module. My problem is that I'm trying to make SSI work and I think the 8.3 file names are getting in the way since that's how Apache reads the files. (though this is transparent to the user...just the Apache config)

Here is an example:
In Apache, to get .htaccess files to work, I had to add double references for .htaccess and ~htacces

My problem now is that when I add my mime types/handlers for .shtml, they're not working and I don't know how I should code it. Should I try .sht or what? .htaccess is a uniform file and I'm sure users will want to use multiple file names so I can't generalize since mime types/handlers are specific to file extensions. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem or had to work with similar issues. Thanks.
 
One word....and I quote: "w00t!"

Using the shortened extensions worked like a charm and I was able to get remote file systems to work via Apache in my testbed. Now on to production tonight.
