http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29446 want directive for setting content negotiation quality (qs) Summary: want directive for setting content negotiation quality (qs) Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.49 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: mod_negotiation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In brief, I would like a directive for setting the qs value for a resource. Synopsis: <Files index.rss> SetQs .1 </Files> I know that it is possible to set the qs value using a type map, but it's a burden to maintain such a configuration for the following reasons: 1) every variant must have an entry in the type map, even if you want to set the Qs on just one file 2) each variant entry must spell out the content type, even though it is ignored when the resource is located in a file (mentioned in Bug 29445). An example use case is when you would like to publish an .rss variant of a resource. The problem is that certain poorly maintained browsers, and even the validator.org validator, don't bother specifying which types they expect, and so the .rss file might be served to them. A reasonable solution is to lower the qs value for the .rss variant. Currently, for the directory index, I have to make a map file like this: URI: index URI: index.rss Content-type: application/rss+xml; qs=.1 URI: index.en.html Content-type: text/html URI: index.fr.html Content-type: text/html . . . Obviously that's difficult to maintain if you have many variants of a resource. I would much rather just set the qs of index.rss, as shown at the beginning of this report. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
