Summary: prefer-type, -encoding, and -charset cookie? (as prefer-
language)
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.4
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: mod_negotiation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Taken from the example were the Accept-Language (and it qualifiers) HTTP
header is overridden by a cookie set in the user’s browser; from
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html#better :
SetEnvIf Cookie "lang=(.+)" prefer-language=$1 Header append Vary cookie
I wish this could be done this be done with other Accept HTTP headers as well.
By introducing other enviromental variables—such as prefer-type,
prefer-encoding, and prefer-charset—they can be used to override other
default negotiation methods for the Content-Type, Content-Encoding, and
Content-Charset headers. I had visioned something like the below:
SetEnvIf Cookie "type=(.+)" prefer-type=$1 Header append Vary cookie
SetEnvIf Cookie "charset=UTF-8" prefer-type=utf8 Header append Vary cookie
Basically I want to offer the user a way to override the default content
negotiation method. Like with the prefer-language option. For web browsers that
does not spesicfy supported charsets, types, encodings, etc.
I mean to put an option to set override cookies on the 406 error ducoument
page. So users can fill in the blanks for their browsers.
