Description

With the attached patch, one should be able to redirect clients based on their `Accept-Language' request-header. This is a good thing for cgi-less multilingual sites.

i think this is most likely something for 1.5 not for 1.4. jan?:)

Just for the record: I applied the patch on a productive lighttpd-1.4.13, the language-related config-section looks something like..


$HTTP["host"] =~ "^www\.site\.net$" {
        $HTTP["language"] =~ "(de|it|hr)" {
                url.redirect = ( "^/$" => "http://www.site.net/%1/" )
        }
        else $HTTP["language"] =~ ".*" {
                url.redirect = ( "^/$" => "http://www.site.net/en/" )
        }
}

..and the whole thing works quite well.

There is something wrong with the attachment viewer. Raw file downloads work, but the viewer just displays a part of the file.

Just FYI: I'm carrying this patch since 1.4.18 (or even 1.4.16) and never had any problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll ask if we can have this included in .21 too because it is lingering around for such a long time now but I'm not sure if we will do that as we want to get .21 out really really soon.

Not sure at all if this is the right way to complain about this (apologies if it isn't), but this useful feature has apparently not been ported to the 1.5x branch. Is it possible/desirable to do so?

Thanks!
