For more information, including an example to see how this can be implemented, please see http://www.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_negotiation.html and http://www.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html Please note that both Apache itself (in the details of the Apache Negotiation Algorithm) and the webmaster have considerable freedom with regards to both server organization (i.e. which variants have what names) and server behaviour (i.e. what exactly is returned on a client request). I agree with Larry that we don't want to restrict this. Regards, Martin.
