Strange response from http://www.apache.org/ recently - I get this
response page, with the title 406 Not Acceptable...
Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource / could not be
found on this server.
Available variants:
index.html , type text/x-server-parsed-html
Clicking on "index.html" takes one to the real "front door".
Can we learn something about how [not] to configure an Apache
server from this? One surmises that it's some kind of unfortunate
interaction between SSI and multiviews?

Umm, I seem to remember that they used to be a problem with Lynx compiled
in SGIs which meant it always sent
Accept: text/html; q=0.000
with every request. Of course you can also send other Accept lines which
generate the list response.

There must be an "AddType text/x-server-parsed-html html" in the config
file. Should be possible to use "AddHandler server-parsed html" instead to
fix this.
