Hi there, this is a question about Apache/2.0.52. I have content negotiation and mod_dir working, serving stuff like dir/index.html.en or dir/index.html.de on requests for: dir/index.html dir/index dir/ dir But I'm confused about the order in which rewrite, negotiation and dir modules are (re)applied. For the first two requests, the mod_rewrite variable REQUEST_FILENAME (and SCRIPT_FILENAME) is set to path/dir/index.html.en resp. path/dir/index.html.de. (I test this by passing it to SSI, using mod_rewrite's E flag.) For the latter two requests, it is set to path/dir/, even though apache does resolve those requests in the end. Question: Is there any way to access the final resolved path (after content negotiation) in mod_rewrite? Background: I'm experimenting with per dir mod_rewrite although this stuff will end up in server config finally, this may make a difference. I'm using rules like RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^t(.*)/([^/]*)\.en$ - [E=lang:en,E=brother:$2.de] RewriteRule ^t(.*)/([^/]*)\.de$ - [E=lang:de,E=brother:$2.en] in order to define language dependent environment variables which I use in SSI. (The ^t is for restricting to test dirs.) The main problem is defining the "brother" page, e.g. index.html.de for index.html.en and vice versa. SSI can't do this, PHP is no-go over here. The above works flawlessly for the 1st two requests mentioned above, but not for the last two. This seams to mean that content negotiation happens before mod_rewrite, but mod_dir substitution happens after; OK, but mod_dir triggers content negotiation (or else it would be stuck with non-existing index.html rather than resolve to index.html.en), but this does not seem to go through mod_rewrite any more. Possible approaches: - Have mod_dir->mod_neg. results go through mod_rewrite again. How? I could use the above rules then. - Have mod_dir->mod_neg. results available in some var which is accessible in mod_rewrite. Which, how? I could amend the above rules by rules matching on /$ and using that var. Cheers, Michael P.S.: Additional complication: We allow index, Welcome, welcome here with mod_dir, not only index. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
