Sir, you are mistaken. daedalus's config file contains AddHandler send-as-is asis That says that if /search.html is requested, and file <docroot>/search.html.asis exists, it is a match and it to be served by the handler who understands the "send-as_is" string (mod_asis's handler), without interference from other modules. That no longer happens. We cannot put this code into production until it is fixed. > If a user of 1.3/earlier 2.0 copied index.html to index.html.bak, and > added a new paragraph to index.html, then queried index.html ... > > index.html.bak was returned, since the file was _smaller_. I agree...that's clearly wrong. But so is the current fix. > Any extension that A) was not requested, or B) is not negotatied > is not eligable to be served. Please take a look at this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_asis.html This shows an example of a .asis file being used to redirect a URL which has moved. That's how we are using it on apache.org. It would be useless if the user had to type in a new URL (http://www.apache.org/search.html.asis) to get a match. The point is to allow the old URI (/search.html) to match the <docroot>/search.html.asis file, which contains the proper headers to redirect the user to the new location. Greg
