Apache 1.1 introduced AddHandler, but the AddType hack lived on as a zombie. There are a lot of such zombies around: for example, almost all mod_rewrite examples you'll ever see are obsolete but live on because "everyone knows" that mod_rewrite is the universal configuration tool. Multiple "extensions" are a different matter. They are required for some situations such as content negotiation, but in other cases they can present a gotcha. There may well be a case for changing the current default behaviour. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
