[users@httpd] Content Negotiation with in Apache 2.0.43
Dear all,
I believe I did not found anything related to this problem. Maybe I
have missed something somewhere.
I cannot do content negotiation with <DirectoryMatch> in Apache
2.0.43. My testing httpd.conf is:
imacat@rinse ~ % cat /etc/apache/httpd2.conf-test
User nobody
Group nogroup
DocumentRoot /var/tmp/htdocs
PidFile /var/run/httpd2.pid
Listen 50080
ErrorLog /var/log/apache/error_log
Options +MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.html
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage zh-tw .zh-tw
AddLanguage zh-cn .zh-cn
LanguagePriority zh-tw zh-cn en
<DirectoryMatch /var/tmp/htdocs>
</DirectoryMatch>
imacat@rinse ~ %
My document root is:
imacat@rinse ~ % ls /var/tmp/htdocs -l
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 imacat root 517 Dec 25 23:34 index.html.en
lrwxrwxrwx 1 imacat root 13 Dec 25 23:36 index.html.html -> index.html.en
-rw-r--r-- 1 imacat root 504 Dec 25 23:35 index.html.zh-cn
-rw-r--r-- 1 imacat root 500 Dec 25 23:35 index.html.zh-tw
imacat@rinse ~ %
My httpd is:
imacat@rinse ~ % /usr/sbin/httpd2 -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
worker.c
http_core.c
mod_mime.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_dir.c
imacat@rinse ~ %
After starting /usr/sbin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache/httpd2.conf-test, and
try to connect, I get:
imacat@rinse ~ % lynx -dump http://rinse:50080/
Index of /
* [1]index.html.en
* [2]index.html.html
* [3]index.html.zh-cn
* [4]index.html.zh-tw
References
1. http://rinse:50080/index.html.en
2. http://rinse:50080/index.html.html
3. http://rinse:50080/index.html.zh-cn
4. http://rinse:50080/index.html.zh-tw
imacat@rinse ~ %
This is strange. It should display index.html.html. And if I
comment out <DirectoryMatch>:
imacat@rinse ~ % cat /etc/apache/httpd2.conf-test
User nobody
Group nogroup
DocumentRoot /var/tmp/htdocs
PidFile /var/run/httpd2.pid
Listen 50080

AddLanguage zh-tw .zh-tw
AddLanguage zh-cn .zh-cn
LanguagePriority zh-tw zh-cn en
#<DirectoryMatch /var/tmp/htdocs>
#</DirectoryMatch>
imacat@rinse ~ %
And try again, I'll get:
imacat@rinse ~ % lynx -dump http://rinse:50080/
Test Page
This is a test page.
imacat@rinse ~ %
which is the correct answer.
This had never happened before in Apache 1.3.x (at least in my
experience). I'm using content negotiation throughout my website, along
with several <DirectoryMatch>. I cannot switch to Apache 2 now for this
reason. This does not happen on <Directory> or <LocationMatch>. It
only seems to be a problem of <DirectoryMatch>
I don't know if anyone has noticed this, or if I have missed
something in the Apache 2 documentation. I have tried some search on
the mailing list archives, but found nothing. Can anyone give me a hint
on this? Or is it really a bug?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please tell me whoever needs
more infomation on this.

But it is OK if I request index.html directly. It seems to be
mod_dir related.
imacat@rinse ~ % lynx -dump http://rinse:50080/index.html
Test Page index.html.en
This is test page index.html.en.
imacat@rinse ~ %
It is OK, too, if I have an index.html there. It seems to be
mod_negotiation related, too.
imacat@rinse ~ % ln -s index.html.en /var/tmp/htdocs/index.html
imacat@rinse ~ % lynx -dump http://rinse:50080/
Test Page index.html.en
This is test page index.html.en.

And there's nothing left in the error_log. Not even if I turn on:
LogLevel debug
mod_negotiation does not seem to be working with mod_dir, if it is
somewhere under <DirectoryMatch>. But they both have no problem solely.

How about you don't waste your time replying to e-mails if you think they're

I have a hotmail account. I doubt those other clients can connect and get my

Of course. You use PGP, without S/MIME. You only signed the mail
body, but not the whole mail. PGPfreeware Outlook Express plug-in can
only sign the mail body. It cannot use S/MIME sign the whole mail. But
I sign the whole mail, including the attachments such as debug logs,
sample configuration files or patches I wrote (which, like software
distribution, needs signature). It's not fully functional if you can
only sign the mail body.
> And it's just polite to send standard plain text IMHO....
PGP/SMIME mail is standard (RFC 2015, also, OpenPGP RFC 2440). It's
definitly plain text. It's Microsoft Outlook Express (or, also, Hotmail)
that is not standard compliant. Outlook Express can deal with S/MIME
mails signed with X.509 keys, but not S/MIME mails signed with PGP keys.
If you receive a S/MIME mail signed with X.509 keys in Outlook Express,
it display the signed mail in plain text. You will never question if it
is standard plain text or not. :)

At least one. It helps to keep a good habit of signing things
(words, mails, distributions, patches) that you do, and helps to keep
yourself be responsible to what you wrote. :)

I'll tell you what is a waste of time. It's not my fault to send
RFC-2015/2440 S/MIME standard-conforming PGP signed mails. It's
Microsoft's fault to be not standard-compliant. But I'll have to take
time to explain how Microsoft processes mails here, un-paid, again and
again, just to comfort those that fear the result of Microsoft's
stupidity. I've even been refused by some customer service department
just for the same reason, "unknown attachment", even I was a paid
customer.
Right now I don't care a bit about this PGP stuff. The subject of
this mail is "Content Negotiation with <DirectoryMatch> in Apache 2.0.43".
I spent 2 whole nights debugging, doing experiments, logging results,
searching internet, writing proper mail reports, just to make clear this
problem to my best extend. I concern about whether this problem of
mod_dir, mod_negotiation and <DirectoryMatch> can be fixed. But now I
have to explain this PGP thing, comforting those that fears for 2 days,
doing the same thing I have done many, many times in the past, just to
see if anyone knows this problem for 3-4 days.
It's a waste of time. I should report this as a bug directly and
ignore the bug-reporting suggestion written on the Apache website.

That's precisely what the OP was sending - granted, it was a multi-part
MIME message but I'd hope it was safe to assume that everyone is using
MIME-compliant mailers these days. Attachments are not - and never have
been - inherently evil.
FWIW, I really don't see the point in signing messages to lists such as
these. After all, the signature verifies the integrity of the message and
the identity of the sender - neither of which is particular important in
this context.
Signing files is another matter entirely - this is important to allow users
to verify that the binaries (or source!) have not been tampered with.
My 2c, add tax where appropriate

Ya, me. Can you use something else smarter than Microsoft Outlook
Express that can read PGP/SMIME-signed mails normally? (For ex, Mozilla
mail or Becky!) This is the first time on this kind of list that
someone complaints about this. I'm surprised. Though I'm new to this

PGP/SMIME-signed mails, since this is easily seen in all kinds of

It's a PGP signature. A lot of us use PGP to sign our mail messages. If
your mail client does not know what it is, you can either ignore it, or
get another mail client.

I believe there is a bug in DirectoryMatch processing in 2.0.43. It is
fixed in the next version, due out soon.

You probably should try DefaultLanguage directive

Yes, you are right. And it does not do anything at all here. Lynx
does send a Accept-Language header. There's no need to be a default
document. It should be removed.

I believe its "en" here. The Accept-Charset has no effect here,
since there's no AddCharset in the configuration file.

Yes, you are right. ^^; I made a mistake at this point. It's not
used anyway.

Well, that's the whole point. ^_*' My original configuration file
is far more complicated. It's:
imacat@rinse ~ % wc -l /etc/apache/httpd.conf
890 /etc/apache/httpd.conf
imacat@rinse ~ % cat /etc/apache/httpd.conf
...
<DirectoryMatch /usr/local/apache/htdocs/(wov|imacat|emandy|emily|htc)>
ErrorDocument 400 /errors/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 /errors/401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /errors/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.html
</DirectoryMatch>
...
imacat@rinse ~ %
I certainly will not put the whole 890 lines here. It makes no
sense to debug such a large file on this list. I simplified the problem
as much as possible. What I posted here (httpd2.conf-test) is the
simplest abstract that can work and demostrate this problem.
I had suspected if the problem comes from ErrorDocument, but then I
was wrong. An empty <DirectoryMatch> disables the content negotiation
of the directory index file, too.
Of course, I can work around my own problem by having multiple
<Directory>s instead of a single <DirectoryMatch>. But that makes my
configuration file more complicated. Besides, I still consider this as
a problem that should be solved. I wish to make clear what happens here.

Thank you. ^_*'
By the way, type maps work here. (Thanks to Irmund Thum. ^_*') I
shall consider using it, since it is much faster, according to the
description. But it is painful to add type maps, as I'm using content
negotiation throughout my websites. Also, as I said above, I still
consider this as a problem that should be solved. It does not work as
expected, according to the current documentation. If this is indeed a
bug, there should be some fix on this.

I'm a little confused here. You have Multiviews on for the whole server.
The empty DirectoryMatch section does not do anything at all. It does
not add to, or detract from, the content-negotiation setting. I'm not
entirely clear, from your description, exactly what is happening.

This symlink will be explicitly ignored, since you don't have Options
FollowSymLinks turned on, as far as I can tell.

What Accept headers is lynx sending? What do the associated entries in
the access log look like?
> This is strange. It should display index.html.html. And if I
No, it should not, because that file is a symlink. Add
Options +FollowSymlinks
and see what happens.

OK, this makes no sense to me at all. An empty <DirectoryMatch> section
should not have any effect on the results at all. I probably need to
experiment with this some on my own server.

It is certainly not desired behavior. Try my suggestions, and I'll do
some experimentation on this end, now that I have some free time
available. I'll get back to you on this.
