Dear Folks, I have created a file index.var in the root of my document tree, and have index.sxhtml a symlink to index.shtml. As you can see below, I am using SSI (to include static menu and style xhtml). $ cat index.var URI: index URI: index.sxhtml Content-type: application/xhtml+xml; qs=0.95 URI: index.shtml Content-type: text/html; qs=1.0 I also have these in my global configuration: AddHandler type-map .var AddType text/html .shtml AddType application/xhtml+xml .sxhtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .sxhtml .shtml When I ask for http://nicku.org/index I get 404, but with http://nicku.org/index.var I get the page correctly served as application/xhtml+xml in Firefox 1.5.0, and as text/html to other browsers. QUESTIONS: ========== 1. From http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html#naming I expected that I would be able to ask for http://nicku.org/index and get the negotiated content, and that I would not have to ask for http://nicku.org/index.var Is this understanding correct? 2. If it is correct, what could I be doing wrong? 3. If it not correct, then what is the appropriate method to ask for the negotiation to happen; should I do a redirect using mod_rewrite or some other shenanigans? 4. Could there be any interaction between using SSI and content negotiation together? 5. If I want the entire web site to use content negotion, do I need to create a corresponding type-map file foo.var for each foo.shtml/foo.sxhtml and foo.html/foo.xhtml pair? (I have written a little Perl program to do that at http://nicku.org/software/gen-type-map) -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 7FFA CDC7+5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
