The META tag is used to convey meta-information about the document, but can also be used to specify headers for the document. You can use either HTTP-EQUIV or NAME to name the meta-information, but CONTENT must be used in both cases. By using HTTP-EQUIV, a server should use the name indicated as a header, with the specified CONTENT as its value. For example,
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Keywords" CONTENT="Nanotechnology, Biochemistry"> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Reply-to" CONTENT="dsr@w3.org (Dave Raggett)">
The server should include the following response headers when the document is requested:
Expires: Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT Keywords: Nanotechnology, Biochemistry Reply-to: dsr@w3.org (Dave Raggett)
