http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17936 Does not return HTTP 406 for restricted client Accept headers ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-13 16:27 ------- I know the docs ;-) But it's a simple answer: mod_negotiation is not involved in the request. Multiviews apply, if and only if the requested resource does not map exactly to a file (or directory), i.e. if the server would return a 404 otherwise (also described in the docs somewhere) type maps apply if the requested (existing) file is handled by the type-map handler. So if you're explicitely requesting an existing resource, which isn't magically negotiated (type-maps), mod_negotiation feels not responsible for the request. No bug. This is, by the way, the only way it can work. Consider, for example, the following situation: - request with Accept: something -> response 406 with a list of available variants. -> user explicitely selects one variant but _doesn't_ change his Accept-Header -> response 406? no. ignore Accept-Header, because it is an explicitely requested resource which has no alternative variants. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
