that's what I'm thinking, Nick. I'm wondering about using the content-negotiation to serve the standard "index.fr.html", but then having mod-rewrite to transform ".fr.html" into the real path to file. I'd have to read up on the order of processing, but IIRC that might work. bit of a fiddle though. am I the only person to want this ... ? On 11/30/06, Nick Kew <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Specifically, the point of a yes/no decision as to whether a user accepts a language. But content negotiation is a bigger wheel to reinvent, because it supports not just yes/no, but also preferences such as "I read A and B, but prefer A, and at a pinch I also read C and D". Using mod_negotiation with map files - like Apache's own documentation is bundled - is a better solution. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
