Have you tried looking at the SSI documentation on the Apache web site?

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/ssi.html

Specifically, look for:

   <!--#config timefmt="%A %B %d, %Y" -->
    Today is <!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->

The format string for time is based on what system strftime()  
function takes.
You can look at what these generally are by looking at the Python  
strftime()
documentation, although that isn't what is actually being used here.

   http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html
