[Bug 64663] New: Please set prefer-language

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64663

            Bug ID: 64663
           Summary: Please set prefer-language
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_negotiation
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: apache@ohreally.nl
  Target Milestone: ---

Hello,

This page [1] explains how mod_negotiation supports the 'prefer-language'
environment variable. But unfortunately, the module does not set this variable.
This means that currently, if I need to determine the language the server has
selected within the file/script served, I have no other option than to dissect
the DOCUMENT_NAME variable. But since the module has already made the
selection, it's probably trivial to have it set this environment variable.

Thanks for considering,
  Rob

Thank you for your report. As part of an effort to clean up our issue tracker,
we are closing tickets that have seen no activity for more than 5 years. If
this issue is still relevant to a current version of Apache httpd (2.4.x or
trunk), please reopen this ticket or open a new one with updated information.
We appreciate your contribution to the project.

Thinking beyond my own use case (mod_include, creation of URLs for images,
style sheets and scripts, and design of links), I can imagine that this may not
be desirable in every situation. So I guess that if this is implemented, it
should come with a configuration directive SetPreferLanguage that may be set to
'on' or 'off'.
