[users@httpd] Why does type-maps rely on MultiViews?
Hi list,
Why does type-maps rely on multiviews to be enabled? I can sort of understand why it is required to match [../resource] with [../resource.var]. BUT as type maps are presented as an alternate to multiviews in the documentation; I find it strange that it still requires multiviews to work.
I have found a "sort of work-around" were I use "Option +MultiViews" with "MultiViewsMatch Handlers" only. This is the only thing that allows me to use type-maps that are not overridden by multiviews.

I have to specify every variant in every type-map. Apache’s respons to the above scenario was:

I'm not sure about that one. It should be easy enough to test.

Any file without an extension is treated as a type-map. I presume that .htaccess is excluded by design?
<FilesMatch "!.*\..*\$">
SetHandler type-map
</FilesMatch>
Another question, can I partaly negotiate between various type-maps? Say I have one type-map called [../resource] saying:
URI: resource,en
Content-Language: en
And then [../resource,en] saying:
URI: resource,en,utf-8.htm
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8; qs=0.8
URI: resource,en,utf-8.xht
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8; qs=1.0
Or would I have to spesify everything two times?

You can either use resource.var directly in your links (in other
words, expose that URL as your public address for the resource) or
change the name of your type-map file to just "resource" and use
SetHandler to mark it as a type-map.
