http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18443 "Media Types and Wildcards" section is incorrect Summary: "Media Types and Wildcards" section is incorrect Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.32 Platform: Other URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/content- negotiation.html#better OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to RFC2616 Section 14.1, specific types have a high precedence than more general types at the same quality level: ---begin_snippet--- Media ranges can be overridden by more specific media ranges or specific media types. If more than one media range applies to a given type, the most specific reference has precedence. Accept: text/*, text/html, text/html;level=1, */* have the following precedence: 1) text/html;level=1 2) text/html 3) text/* 4) */* ---end_snippet--- As a result, the example given: text/html, text/plain, image/gif, image/jpeg, */* would read as "I prefer text/html, text/plain, image/gif, or image/jpeg. If none of those are available, then give me anything you might have." It is not necessary to give */* a lower quality level. Technically, the outcome will be the same. But the assertion is incorrect to start with. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
