I want to configure Server Side Includes (SSI) in IIS 7.5. By default, the file extension that indicates that a file should be processed as an SSI file is .shtml. However, I want to configure IIS so that files with the .html extension are processed as SSI files. This is to enable me to change the footer for multiple .html pages by changing a single file named footer.html.

Is this possible, and if so, are there are any caveats?

I would also be receptive to suggestions for alternative approaches to changing the footer on multiple HTML pages by changing just a single file.
