Ahh, but how are we to help you if you don't provide any details? What
does your configuration look like? What about it is not working? In
terms of the differences between the two versions, you should look at
the MultiViewsMatch and ForceLanguagePriority directives, which are new
in 2.0.

Yes, I understand, but I cannot find an explanation for the ebay.com reference
and return code 200 in that URL ? They do not seem to be coming from the same
place or the same timestamp... I know about code red and nimda, and get a lot of that
traffic, but I thought this was different ?

Yes. As someone else pointed out, this question gets asked and answered
about once a month. Even easier than the telnet technique is to check the
file-size returned in the request (266 bytes in this case). If that is
the file size of your home page, then you are most likely safe.
This probably deserves a FAQ entry. Anyone care to write one up?

Oops, didn't read the question, just read the last line and thought it was
another code red question :)
Yes, it is possible somebdy is using your apache server as a proxy.
Check to see if you have mod_proxy enabled in your configuraiton file
(loaded or compiled in and ProxyREquests on)
The easiest way to check it out is to connect yourself, using telnet
issue that request, and see if you get Ebay pages in return

Newbie question, but I didn't find anything in the FAQ...
I get the following lines in my access log (nonwrapped samples):

Why would a request to my Apache 2.0.36 for www.ebay.com generate a 200 in
response ? Isn't 200 "success" return code ? Is somebody using my Apache for proxy ?
As you can see, I'm all new at this :-)

Well, you are of course quite right, and I apologize for the trouble caused and misinformation sent
to this list. I took out MultiViewsMatch and added the appropriate AddType (present in the 1.3
server that worked OK) and it works fine.
Perhaps this shows there are many ways to skin a cat and that if Apache is a robust server there's a
reason...
Thanks again,
BT Higonnet

To the best of my knowledge, that documentation is correct. The setting
of MultiViewsMatch should only matter if you have not properly associated
one of the file extenstions. In other words, you need to have
AddLanguage en en
AddLanguage fr fr
AddType text/html html (or similar entry in mime.types)
MultiViewsMatch only comes into play if you try to negotiate based on an
extension that is not mapped to anything. If that is not what you are
seeing, please present us with the simplest possible case that shows the
problem; use LIVE URLs so that we can check ourselves.
Thanks.

I was loath to either include the entire configuration file for reasons of size, or exerpt it for fear of giving an improper impression by not including something in the file.
My problem was that I looked, but not closely enough, at MultiViewsMatch which I mistakenly thought was needed to do fancy things not previously possible. Including "MultiViewsMatch Any" made the server behave as I expected.
I would beg all readers to believe that I am NOT incriminating Apache documentation and blaming it for what was my mistake only, but I think the passage called
"Note on hyperlinks and naming conventions" on page
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/content-negotiation.html
(which appears to me left over from 1.3) might mention that the behavior described there requires "MultiViewsMatch Any" (as regards files called abcd.en.html or abcd.fr.html anyway). Of course there's a good chance I got this wrong too!
Many Thanks for the replies
