Both solutions are unavailable in the case of mirrors or caches.  You
want a per file solution, and a solution that does not require operator

And the .var file solution is simply hideous.  Better to use shtml and
have the server parse the META HTTP-EQUIV header itself.  (I don't
know if such a extension to shtml is available, but it should be.)
