Synopsis: Adding a little cachability to HTTP/<=1.0 type-map responses...
State-Changed-From-To: open-feedback State-Changed-By: pcs State-Changed-When: Sat Aug 23 08:19:01 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: Cacheing the result of negotiated resources is usually not a good idea because proxies or browsers will cache one variant when others might be better for subsequent requests. If you really want to make the response cacheable you can use the CacheNegotiatedDocs, which also only applies to HTTP/1.0 and earlier requests. Why do you want to issue redirects instead of making the response itself cacheable? Unless there is a good reason for this, we will prefer not to implement your RedirectPre1.1TypeMappedDocs directive. Incidently, the only time when it is safe to cache the response of negotiation is when multiviews is being used and there is a single variant with a matching filename (for example, to map requests for /index to /index.html). Apache 1.3 will mark the results of such negotiation as cacheable.
