Another Content Negotiation Problem (Only This One's Real!)
I've got a question about content negotiation... Basically, I'd like to know if there's a way to make type-maps and the MultiViews option work side-by-side. I'd like to utilize both within the same directory. Right now, the only way I can access a resource via type-map is by specifying the .var extension in the URL, even though ".var" isn't part of the resource name.
If I don't specify the .var extension in the URL, then MultiViews takes over. To test things out, if you visit http://img.cparker15.com/bushcheney04 you get one of three formats of images, all with the same base (resource) name; a PNG, a GIF, or a JPEG. If you visit http://img.cparker15.com/bushcheney04.var, then you get a text file, which I've specified in the type-map (.var file) to have the highest "quality".
Here is my type-map file:URI: bushcheney04
URI: bushcheney04.txt
Content-type: text/plain; qs=0.800
URI: bushcheney04.png
Content-type: image/png; qs=0.600
URI: bushcheney04.gif
Content-type: image/gif; qs=0.400
URI: bushcheney04.jpg
Content-type: image/jpeg; qs=0.200
Any ideas on how I can get this to work the way I need it to work? Basically, I need type-maps to be processed before MultiViews, and if a type-map doesn't exist, then MultiViews takes over and effectively creates its own type-map. The setup that I need isn't explained in any of the documentation.
Here's an excerpt from one of my conf files in sites-available:
AddHandler type-map .var
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
cross-posted from #apache on DALnet and to apache
