Actually, once updated, it will work better. It can solve the tangle of
index.html.unk.en
not being served when the user requests index.html.unk because it can recognize that
the
user asked for both index and unk. Right now, it strcmp's index.unk (the unknown bits)
to index.html.unk, and will die.
If it makes the original patch simpler/lighter, I do insist we will only parse elements
forward, so a request for index.html.en can't return index.en.html (two very different
names.) If we can agree on that, your patch should be very fast :)
