Ouch. OpenBSD doesn't have mod_mime by default? That's crazy.
You might find it difficult to get help here with OpenBSD's version of
apache, since they don't really include apache, but rather a forked
version with some of their own patches and without patches from recent
apache versions. I'm not sure how far it diverges from the official
version at the moment, but I believe it is significant and growing.
Hence it is pretty much impossible for us to know if your problem is
in your configuration, in the apache source code, or in something that
openbsd did to apache.

It might be helpful to see what is in the error log.
One thing missing from your config is a test.html.en. This is
necessary so that someone requesting "en,fr;q=0.5" will get the
english page. But the fact that that is missing doesn't explain why
request test.html doesn't get you something. That is a little
curious.

Hey Joshua,
Thanks for your response.
Just replying to snips 'cause I figured it out.

In fact OpenBSD does have mod_mime and mod_negotiation compiled in, I've
gotten so used to them ripping out things for security reasons, that
somewhere along in my trying to get this to work I came to this false
conclusion. I had forgotten about httpd -l . Takes writing out the email
to find the problem... :)
It seems my extra LoadModule lines had been messing things up. I removed
them and things work as expected.
I've even added a some UTF-8 auto-negotiation
and Japanese pages with
AddCharset UTF-8 .ja
AddCharset UTF-8 .fr
Nice !

Thanks for the tip. I've symlinked page.html.html to page.html.en
Server is negotiating happily, and it's still too hot in NYC.
Thanks,
