However, I've already written code for Apache which implements draft 2 of transparent negotiation*. This is an extension of the existing server-side negotiation module, mod_negotiation, which is part of the standard distribution. Hopefully this code will make it into the next release of Apache for others to experiment with. It will be commented out by default because it doesn't quite implement everything*, and because the draft is rather changeable at the moment. Paul -- Paul Sutton, Technical Director, UK Web --- http://www.ukweb.com/~paul/ Apache Week: Latest news on Apache server... http://www.apacheweek.com/ * my code does not implement features or cache control. The former because it seemed to be in flux (and indeed draft 3 has extended it a bit), the later because I'm not confide I fully understand cache issues at the moment.
