Note that this doesn't work when people do silly things like use "/index.html" instead of "/". Typically many people creating content use the two interchangeably. But that's ok, I think... since random people shouldn't be making documents linking to the default index page. Although we should perhaps make sure there are no silly links in the docs that reference /index.html. Hrm. When you committed the DirectoryIndex change, you did .html.var first then .html. Shouldn't it be the other way around (like you stated above)? In the current order, if someone sticks there own index.html in there, it will not behave entirely as expected in odd (to the user) ways... So I like the idea of using a type map so multiviews don't have to be enabled for "/". The performance for / requests will still be Leaving multiviews enabled for the docs subtree is ok from a performance and random bugs standpoint... there are still possibilities for security issues, but they should be minimal. So I like this direction... thanks. But... we still have the original question of the multi-lingual error messages, and if they should be enabled by default and, if so, then how. <g> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
