[users@httpd] mod_rewrite not applied to default files?
Hi,
I'm using mod_rewrite to send .html files as application/xhtml+xml for
agents that say they accept it, and text/html for all others, using
mod_rewrite.
At the moment I simply have a .htaccess file with
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.html$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} application/xhtml\+xml
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/xhtml+xml]
This works fine on, for example,
http://chrisseaton.skylis.net/index.html, but it does not work on, for
example, http://chrisseaton.skylis.net/. mod_rewrite doesn't seem to be
applied when serving a default file for a directory.
I tested this by modifying my .htaccess to read
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/xhtml+xml]
With this every file should be served as application/xhtml+xml, and they
all were, apart from the default file for the directory - which still
went out as the .html default of text/html.
I'm using Mozilla HTTP live headers to check the MIME type returned by
the server.
Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

I see what this does - rewrite / to /index.html, but I'm already
refering to %{REQUEST_FILENAME}, which is the resolved file name and so
will already be /index.html for /, won't it?
I tried it out, and for my / page, nothing changed, however, for
directories such as /foo/ and /foo/bar/ I'm now getting served the page
for / - although it does get served with application/xhtml\+xml!
I really appreciate the help. Any other ideas? This has been driving me
crazy for days.

I think you should to one more rewrite before the other rules and that is
RewriteRule /$ /index\.html
or
RewriteRule ^/$ /index\.html
as you need.
