There may be different ways to handle the data that Apache returns, and there are two equivalent ways of implementing this functionality. The multiviews method is simpler (and more limited) than the *.var method, so we shall start with it. The Config file (from ... /site.multiview) looks like this:
User webuser Group webgroup ServerName www.butterthlies.com DocumentRoot /usr/www/APACHE3/site.multiview/htdocs ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /usr/www/APACHE3/cgi-bin AddLanguage it .it AddLanguage en .en AddLanguage ko .ko LanguagePriority it en ko <Directory /usr/www/APACHE3/site.multiview/htdocs> Options + MultiViews </Directory>
For historical reasons, you have to say:
Options +MultiViews
even though you might reasonably think that
Options
All would cover the
case. The general idea is that whenever you want to offer variations
of a file (e.g., JPG, GIF, or bitmap for images, or different
languages for text), multiviews will handle it. Apache v2 offers a
relevant directive.
