Re: Ap. Server Doc inaccessible (fwd)

Just for the information of the list....

I don't think there is anything we can do about this, other that tell the
user to fix their browser configuration as Brian has done.  It would be
nice if Apache could just deliver the english version when no acceptable
variant is found.

That would be the expected answer you'd get if you don't have language en
as an acceptable language.  Check your browser configs - are you emitting
an "Accept-Language" header, and if so, what does it say?

	Fixing the server to fallback to .en seems like a good idea; 
another possibility would be to fall back to no language (index.html 
instead of index.html.??) if no match is found. This would let the 
user choose a fallback other than .en without adding a directive for 
this obscure case.
