Brenner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "Steven E. Brenner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: config/1385: AddHander incorrectly interprprets extension of .cgi.txt Thank you for prompt handling of the 'bug' report. It seems as though I encountered a 'documentation' bug rather than a 'software' bug. (In other words, "It's not a bug, it's a feature!" -- as indeed I suppose it is.) The documentation for "AddHander" makes reference only to extensions, and not to Regex handling. Moreover, it is very peculiar that it would work differently from the AddType directive which has nearly identical syntax and description. If "This is the way things are supposed to work," it would be very useful to have that reflected in the documentation. Thanks again for letting me personally know what to do.
