If a client requests an XHTML file, it says to do normal

No, if a client asks for the URL "/abc/file.html", it wants the resource
corresponding to that URL.
If the client's HTTP Accept header says they like
text/html more, send them that.
/This/ is where content negociation starts, /if/ the server happens to
have more that one representation of the requested resource available.
The client indicates a /preference/ for one or the other representation
of the resource, /in case/ the server has several.
If it says they like application/xhtml+xml
more, ... (and if we have it) ... send them that.
kind of, but it's either, or.
Fine. I have even done that successfully with two different files.
Except I can't figure out how to provide multiple Content-Types for a
single file.
Logical, because you can't. One document/file has only one MIME type,
not several.
Unless you mean what is described here :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html
(Read it, don't just guess how it works)
The server /tries/ to find the alternative file which matches the client
preferences best. Once it finds it, it will send /that/ file, with the
MIME type of /that/ file in the Content-type header.
And I don't think creating multiple copies of the document
(even with linkes) is an appropriate solution.
AddType "application/xhtml+xml,text/html; qs=0.01" .html
What makes you think that you can do that ?
Not this :
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype
The first argument to the AddType directive is /one/ MIME media type,
not several, and no parameters. The following argument(s) is a list of
possible extensions.
Tells the client "Content-Type: cation/xhtml+xml,text/html; qs=0.01",
which is no good.
No, and it's even invalid.
See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html, 3.7 & 14.17
Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
is a valid header, the above is not.
An apache type-map always returns the Content-Type specified by AddType in
my main apache config file.
Re-read
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype
I believe you are a bit confused.
Your typemap file has the same mistake.
Because of that, your later tests do not make much sense.
