<section id="typemaps"><title>Type maps</title>
<p>A type map has a format similar to RFC822 mail headers. It
content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one
of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client's
requirements, and returns that document.</p>
+
+ <p>The <directive module="mod_mime">MultiViewsMatch</directive>
+ directive configures whether Apache will consider files
+ that do not have content negotiation meta-information assigned
+ to them when choosing files.</p>
</section>
<directivesynopsis>
<p>Note that this directive only has an effect if a 'best'
language cannot be determined by any other means or the <directive
module="mod_negotiation">ForceLanguagePriority</directive> directive
- is not <code>None</code>. Correctly implemented HTTP/1.1 requests
- will mean this directive has no effect.</p>
+ is not <code>None</code>. In general, the client determines the
+ language preference, not the server.</p>
