<h2>Summary</h2>

Content negotiation, or more accurately content selection, is the

capabilities, from one of several available documents.

There are two implementations of this.

<ul>

<li> A type map (a file with the mime type <code>application/x-type-map</code>)

<li> A type map (a file with the handler <code>type-map</code>)

which explicitly lists the files containing the variants.

<li> A MultiViews search (enabled by the MultiViews

<A HREF="core.html#options">Option</A>, where the server does an implicit

name, which always ends in a colon, followed by a value. Whitespace is allowed

between the header name and value, and between the tokens of value.

The headers

allowed are:

<p>If set, this directive allows content-negotiated documents to be

<p>

This directive only applies to requests which come from HTTP/1.0 browsers.

HTTP/1.1 provides much better control over the caching of negotiated

documents, and this directive has no effect in responses to 

HTTP/1.1 requests.

<A name="languagepriority"><h2>LanguagePriority</h2></A>

and <code>foo.html.de</code> both existed, but the browser did not express

a language preference, then <code>foo.html.fr</code> would be returned.<p>

<P>

Note that this directive only has an effect if a 'best' language

cannot be determined by other any other means. Correctly implemented

HTTP/1.1 requests will mean this directive has no effect.
