Don't give up hope yet. How about creating type-maps for
all the files? With these files:
# foo.html.var
URI: foo.en.html
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en
URI: foo.de.html
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: de
# bar.html.var
URI: bar.en.html
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: en
URI: bar.de.html
Content-type: text/html
Content-language: de
# bar.de.html
<title>German</title><a href="foo.de.html">foo</a>
<p><a href="bar.html">[auto]</a>[de]
# bar.en.html
<title>English</title><a href="foo.html">foo</a>
<p>[auto]<a href="bar.de.html">[de]</a>
# foo.de.html
<title>German</title><a href="bar.de.html">bar</a>
<p><a href="foo.html">[auto]</a>[de]
# foo.en.html
<title>English</title><a href="bar.html">bar</a>
<p>[auto]<a href="foo.de.html">[de]</a>
My test pages at www.havoc.fi/z/foo.html seem to work
just fine! And at www.havoc.fi/zmirror/foo.html is a mirror
made with wget --mirror, it just causes "auto" to be "en".
The only problem is if we want content-negotiating mirrors,
they must mirror the pages by ftp -- so that the maps get
mirrored too. I don't think is too bad, as those mirrors will
have to check their configs for type-maps etc..
Any problems here?
