[thelist] absolute path for SSI file

[Pamela Corey]

I'm trying to use a SSI in a template that will be used by many 
offices/divisions which have their own directory structures.  I want 
to use an include file but I need to give it an absolute path -  such 
as: <!--#include virtual="http://www.nist.gov/test/header.txt" --> - 
versus <!--#include virtual="includes/header.txt" --> - but it is not 
working.  Is it possible to use an absolute path for a SSI?

Thanks,
Pam
