Content Negotiation

The MOD_NEGOTIATION module provides content negotiation

.

This module lets

you specify language variants of HTML files

.

To specify language variants on

OpenVMS, use an underscore instead of a period before the language extension.

For example:

On UNIX, filename.html.fr is the French variant of filename.html.

On OpenVMS, filename.html_fr is the French variant of filename.html.

For more information, see the Apache Software Foundation documentation at the
following web site:

http://www.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html

Apache API

You can use the standard Apache API to write your own modules that will run on
the Oracle HTTP Server for OpenVMS

.

For more information, see the Apache

Software Foundation documentation at the following web site:

http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/API.html

suEXEC Support

The suEXEC feature provides the ability to run CGI programs under user IDs
different from the user ID of the calling web server. This is not supported by the
Oracle HTTP Server for OpenVMS.

File Formats

All file formats are supported

.

However, the Web browser status bar will not show

page loading progress for logical or VFC format files larger than 8 K.

Page loading progress relies on an accurate byte count

.

Accurate byte count is not

readily available for files in logical or VFC format

.

For files in these formats, the

Oracle HTTP Server must count the bytes as the files load

.

The counting process

can slow performance, so it has been turned off in this situation.
