    <p>Type map files should have the same name as the resource
    which they are describing, and have an entry for each available
    which they are describing, followed by the extension
    <code>.var</code>. In the examples shown below, the resource is
    named <code>foo</code>, so the type map file is named
    <code>foo.var<code>.</p>
    
    <p>This file should have an entry for each available
    variant; these entries consist of contiguous HTTP-format header
    lines. Entries for different variants are separated by blank
    lines. Blank lines are illegal within an entry. It is
    conventional to begin a map file with an entry for the combined
    entity as a whole (although this is not required, and if
    present will be ignored). An example map file is shown below.

    <p>URIs in this file are relative to the location of the type map
    file. Usually, these files will be located in the same directory as
    the type map file, but this is not required. You may provide
    absolute or relative URIs for any file located on the same server as
    the map file.</p>

    <p>Note also that a typemap file will take precedence over the
