Types of files

[Wizet]

There are some files on some websites that arent html nor php related here are some of them:

***.nhn
***.aspx

If there are some other then post below and I will edit them into this thread. The question is what type of files are these and how they can be used.

[galaxyAbstractor]

.aspx = active server page.
.nhn = Have no idea
.pl = pearl
.py = python

What is the 's' in .shtml?
Also, you can change all your file types to anything you want in your .htaccess file, so some file types may not be real.

Some servers are configured so that they don't parse SSI statements (basically short-hand PHP include statements) unless the 's' is there.

.cgi is CGI

Pretty sure I've seen a ".rb" (Ruby) once too.

S is for Server-generated Hyper Text Markup Language. Pretty much if I'm not mistaken it's used for things such as PERL/CGI files that need to be created by the server, but the server cannot do it using the regular html format.

Like displaying your ip and browser on shtml with server codes.

<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER" -->
<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR" -->
<!--#echo var="REQUEST_URI" --> 
<!--#echo var="HTTP_HOST" --> 
<!--#echo var="HTTP_USER_AGENT" --> 
<!--#echo var="REDIRECT_STATUS" -->

there are a million filetypes in the world... the format is not just based on the filename, but how it was built and what it contains...
