Very Computer

I am debugging some Apache API module and have run into these lines of
code.  No one here seems to know any longer what the code does, so I
thought I'd ask here!  It has something to do with SSI as best as I can
make out.

thanks much
Paul

             for this
        if (!(r->finfo.st_mode & S_IXUSR))
                return DECLINED;

        state = (enum xbithack *) get_module_config(r->per_dir_config,
&includes
_module);

        if (*state == xbithack_off)
                return DECLINED;

As for why it does that?  Without knowing what the module does, that
is a bit hard to answer.
