I am relatively new to mod_rewrite, but have a site which I would like to have "pretty urls." Similarly to SO :). I am attempting to have things like: "http://www.whatever.com/search/test" get rewritten to "http://www.whatever.com/search.php?q=test" and have had some limited success. I believe that content negotiation is getting in my w...
I'm trying to use content negotiation to give both a HTML and a RDF/XML representation of a resource on a HTTP server. On the server side this works, i.e. curl -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://localhost:8182/ontologies/1 will retrieve the correct version. I can also do the same with JavaScript/Dojo: function downloadOntologyRD...
I am trying to use Apache Content negotiation for localizing my site. I have the files index.htm.en, index.htm.es, index.htm.zh-ch and index.htm.en-GB. Apache content negotiation is not working in the third and fourth case. So is this because of the hyphen(-) in the extension? ...
I'm looking to implement content negotiation on some resources in a Rails app. I'm using Mootools and will likely be able to tweak the content type accepted by an XMLHTTPRequest to "application/json". Is there any way to pick up on this information in my controller and generate JSON responses instead of XHTML? I'm trying to avoid doin...
So I was wondering what should be done with HTTP Content Negotiation regarding requests where the returned data may have multiple valid MIME types. For example if say I have some arbitrary data that has the following possible MIME types: text/data,application/x-data,application/data+xml Given that there are multiple MIME types possib...

I was reading the Spring 3.0 Documentation and Blog Posts (followups) on how to create REST style services with Spring MVC but I can't find any working example on how to use the ContentNegotiatingViewResolver. I have a test controller like this @Controller public class IndexController implements Serializable { @RequestMapping("/inde...
I want to redirect users based on browser language, I figured out how to do this here, it works fine, here is the code(PHP): if(preg_match('/en-US/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) header("location:index.php"); else header("location:http://cn.gearor.com"); The problem is I only want to redirect users from other websites or at t...
I'm trying to get my Tomcat to use pretty URLs, similar to Apache's MultiViews option. I tried using AJP to proxy Tomcat to Apache, but the .htaccess file is still ignored. What are my options for Tomcat? ...
Is there a C# or .NET class to handle HTTP Content Negotiation with a User Agent? I would like to be able to supply a list of acceptable Content Types, and have those negotiated with the browser to find the best match. ...
Hello, everyone! What are different terms for "content negotiation" (when not talking about HTTP)? For example: some (remote or local) services, components, modules, are negotiating about which protocol to use and/or which content type to exchange. Service provider About the content: What I am very good at, is providing apples. I a...
I'm wondering how caching works with content negotiation based API. Since the to get a resource in XML or JSON, the URI will be the same, for example: http://example.com/bikes/mountain The service returns JSON / XML based on the Accept type header. How smart are caches? For example: if one client requested this using Accept t...
I'm trying to get my Rails app to serve XHTML content properly, with the correct content-type of application/xhtml+xml. Ideally with content negotiation so that IE users get a chance to use the site too. Given that all the HTML generated by Rails is marked at XHTML 1.0 Transitional, I'm a bit surprised that there is no obvious option to...

Is there a standard or at least a recommended way to do so? Or would it just be written to the response body as text? ...
