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.

following web site:

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.
