I thought I'd give the .htaccess approach a try, to see what's involved in actually setting it up. I'm no expert on Apache, but I know the basics of how it works, I've got full access to a web server and I can read the online Apache documentation as well as the next person.

So... after an hour or so of messing around, I still couldn't get Apache based linked data content negotiation to work properly. (Something to do with turning off MultiViews which in turn meant fiddling with AllowOverride). I had more pressing things to do so I gave up.

Anyway, I conclude that I agree with Martin that this is not in general an easy way to set up content negotiation! And I had full access to all the Apache conf files - without that I wouldn't have got anywhere. In contrast, last year I wrote some code to do linked data content negotiation in a Ruby on Rails app, which was pretty easy.

Regards

Bill
