[users@httpd] Content negotiation and IE7
Hi list,
IE 7 and 8b, and newer versions of Safari sends HTTP "Accept: */*" headers. How to deal with these browsers when working with content negotiation? I have three different types available:
application/xhtml+xml; qs=1.0
text/html; qs=0.75
text/plain; qs=0.2
Fsome reason, IE7 retrives the plain text version. I have been told Safari does the same.
I have a variant type map for the URI with source quality identifiers (as above). So really it should use XHTML or HTML before falling back to plain text. The "DefaultType text/html" is specified on the server too.

Could this be a collission between multiviews and a type-map?
