Alternatively, if the URI was shortened to not include the country, e.g. <http://www2.uibk.ac.at/fakultaeten/index.html>, then the server is free to negotiate which language variant it serves you, if they exist. e.g. It might have index.html.de index.html.en index.html.fr And you'd get the best match served to you *as* "index.html". This might be where de-de was falling down - the server looking for something specific, with no obviously equivalent alternative (to it). Different servers have different negotiation abilities, too. My site suffers because the host still uses Apache 1.3.x. Anybody visiting without their browser configured to accept English, amongst any other languages, gets a 406 error, rather than my English pages anyway. Apache 2 can avoid that annoying problem, by letting the webmaster configure a fallback. (I use content negotiation for a different purpose than language negotiation.) -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
