+ <a name="cnegbug"></a>
+ <LI>Apache's <A HREF="../content-negotiation.html">Content
+ Negotiation</A> should pick the smallest variant if there
+ are several that are equally acceptable. A bug in 1.2 means it no
+ longer does this unless all the variants have character sets.
+ This <A HREF="../../dist/contrib/patches/1.2/conneg-bug.patch">patch</A>
+ fixes this problem. It also fixes the problem which makes Apache
+ pick the last equally acceptable variant instead of the first.
+ <p>This will be tracked as
+ <a href="http://www.apache.org/bugdb.cgi/full/94";>PR#94</a>.
