[users@httpd] File name with dots AND MultiViews
Hi,
I've got a strange problem with MultiViews and Apache 2.0.55 : in a
directory, we have to files :
lastname.en.html
firstname.lastname.en.html
MultiViews option is enabled in this directory.
When I ask for "lastname" with my web client, Apache serves
lastname.fr.html as I accept HTML and english.
However, if I ask for "firstname.lastname", I get "404 file not
found".
In my apache error log, I can read :
Negotiation: discovered file(s) matching request:
/directory/firstname.lastname (None could be negotiated).
What's the problem ? Are filenames with dots forbidden while using
MultiViews negotiation ?
Regards,

"Unpredictable" is probably a little strong. "Surprising" would be
more accurate.
The option is safe as long as you never have stray files hanging
around in the webspace that you don't want seen from the web.

It works.
It's a great pity that this option can lead to « unpredicatable
results », according to Apache documentation [1]...

Try:
MultiViewsMatch Any
in httpd.conf.
