[Q] ForceType?

[Martin Haase-Thomas <mh...@meome-ag.de>]

Hi all,

I'm just about to destroy my application with writing workarounds for 
workarounds, so I better ask you:

Lets say there is a new file type, call it .vp (for virtual page). How 
can I tell apache that this file is associated with text/html? How can I 
tell it that something.vp IS A FILE?
I tried AddType, but without success - which is clear as the docs say.
ForceType dosn't work also. The funny thing is that I need this for a 
PerlHandler, where - as something.vp isn't a file for apache - I have to 
access the filename by $r->path_info, which is ugly and won't make the 
application portable.

<Location /views>
    ForceType text/html
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::MyHandler
</Location>

Is this correct? Or what do I have to do? Any help appreciated,
many thanx in advance
Martin
