problem with content negotiation ?
Not sure if this is a bug/feature or what, but here goes
I was trying the multiviews on
http://ooo.lanl.gov/skull
which I though was going to choose from
skull.gif and skull.jpg
but I also had skull.xgif there too (by accident).
Mosaic seemed to force the choice to be skull.xgif, and
tried to display the image as plaintext.
I suspect that the "wrong" content-type was being sent back.
"wrong" in that it wasn't what *I* expected it to be :-)
If this is the case (I'm guessing), then maybe if the multiview code
doesn't recognise the content type, it should give it a lower
preference value.
Apart from that minor hicup (which might not be), the content negotiation
stuff looks great. Good job Rob.
