http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41885 Summary: "AddType application/x-type-map" Still in Use (Not backwards-compatibility) Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.4 Platform: All URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content- negotiation.html#type-map OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear all, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. In the Apache 2.2 documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html#type-map "A type map is a document which is associated with the handler named type-map (or, for backwards-compatibility with older Apache configurations, the MIME-type application/x-type-map)." I tried and get really confused with this for several days of working. After digging into mod_negotiation.c it turned out that the MIME-type "application/x-type-map" is still in use. It is NOT only for backwards-compatibility, as static. If you create a type map page.html.var for the URL page.html and expect it to work, as the example on the documentation says, you have to: 1. Turn on MultiViews. 2. Add this line: "AddType application/x-type-map .var". This is contrary to what the documentation says. As a result, the example won't work if you follow the documentation. I think this should be corrected. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
