Hi, I'm new to this list (hello!). Hope this is the right place to ask my question. I have searched the web quite extensively for answers but not got any.
I want to do Content Negotiation with a mime type (application/xhtml+xml) using its "profile" parameter. My server is a Apache 2.2.3, and currently I am using the +MultViews flavour of Content Negotiation. I want to associate a filename extension .mhtml to application/xhtml+xml;profile="FOO" so that: 1. a web client requesting "...application/xhtml+xml;profile="FOO"..." in its HTTP Accept header will receive such a file if it exists but will NOT receive other application/xhtml+xml documents from existing servers across the web unless that document has the parameter value profile="FOO" explicitly set at the server. 2. a web client requesting plain old "...application/xhtml+xml..." in its HTTP Accept header will also receive such a file if it exists whatever the parameter values at the server are; 3. clients not asking for application/xhtml+xml or asking for "...application/xhtml+xml;profile="BAR"..." will not get these files. (If they ask for */* only I will provide a text/html file as the default according to the usual Apache rules.) My understanding of the specs ( http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1 and http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3236.txt ) tells me that this should be possible and that it has already been forseen that people like me would need this feature, but I can't seem to configure my Apache to do it. All the obvious attempts at an AddType directive fail. I'd be grateful for any pointers or help, even (sadly) if you have to tell me that I have misread the specs and what I want is not possible.
