cvs commit: httpd-docs-1.3/htdocs/manual/mod mod_mime.html
slive 00/12/02 12:56:52
Modified: htdocs/manual/mod mod_mime.html
Log:
Set a new documentation policy: All file extension examples will
include the leading dot. Also, mention in the directives that
take extensions, that they are case-insensitive and can be
specified with or without the dot.
