Subject: WWW Form Bug Report: "Negociation doesn't handle ASIS content-type" on Solaris 2.x

Submitter: Louis.Granboulan@ens.fr
Operating system: Solaris 2.x, version:
Extra Modules used: asis, imap
URL exhibiting problem: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/granboul/mirror/Vampire.html

Symptoms:
--
Suppose that you have a .html.asis document that
sets the Status: 302 Document moved, a Location:
and a Content-type: text/html.
Apache considers that this document is of type
httpd/send-as-is and refuses to send the data to
a client that issued a request with Accept: text/html
In my opinion, this bug limits strongly the use
of asis module.

Make *sure* you have either

1) The following line in srm.conf

AddType httpd/send-as-is .asis

or 2) The following line in mime.types

httpd/send-as-is asis

Check out the docs at http://www.apache.org/docs/E63.html.

I tried it out, and got the same bug problem as you, until I realized I
hadn't define that mime type yet, and then everything worked.

So, no bug! :) Thanks for the report though.

Brian
