    <p>Consider, for example, a resource called
    <code>document.html</code> which is available in English, French,
    and German. The files for each of these are called
    <code>document.html.en</code>, <code>document.html.fr</code>, and
    <code>document.html.de</code>, respectively. The type map file will
    be called <code>index.html.var</code>, and will contain the
    following:</p>
    
    <example><title>index.html.var</title>

    Content-language: en<br />
    Content-type: text/html<br />
    URI: document.html.en<br />
    <br />
    Content-language: fr<br />
    Content-type: text/html<br />
    URI: document.html.fr<br />
    <br />
    Content-language: de<br />
    Content-type: text/html<br />
    URI: document.html.de<br />
    <br />

    </example>

    <p>All four of these files should be placed in the same directory,
    and the <code>.var</code> file should be associated with the
    <code>type-map</code> handler with an <directive
    module="mod_mime">AddHandler</directive> directive:</p>

    <example>
    AddHandler type-map .var
    <example>

    <p>A request for <code>document.html</code> in this directory will
    result in <code>document.html.var</code> being consulted, and the
    variant chosen which most closely matches the language preference
    specified in the user's <code>Accept-Language</code> request
    header.</p>
