Apache 1.3.27 / HeaderName problem

#1 (**permalink**) 01-17-2008, 07:07 AM

Hi All!

I just moved my webpage from an older version of Apache to 1.3.27. In the
process I realized that the way 1.3.27 handles header files seems to have
changed: the old version would look for a file named HEADER.html or
HEADER.txt and prepend that to the directory listing. Version 1.3.27
seems to instead generate an HTML header and insert the HEADER file
*after* its own header, so that any settings in the HEAD or BODY tags of
the HEADER.html file are lost ...

Is there any way to change this back to the old behavior so that the
HEADER.html file is the first thing sent to the browser?

P.S.: I don't think it's a content negotiation issue, as MultiViews is on
and on some pages where I have multilanguage support, the language is
correctly selected ...

Oops nevermind ... when reading the documantation the first time I just
missed the last line:

If the file specified by HeaderName contains the beginnings of an HTML
document (<HTML>, <HEAD>, etc) then you will probably want to set
IndexOptions +SuppressHTMLPreamble, so that these tags are not repeated.

Doh!

I saw your other post also.
And why didn't you go for apache-1.3.28 instead?
