Yes, I'm not supposed to do so. I don't know that I
have to do so in order
to get the documented example working after several days of
trying.
Please understand that I classify this as a "bug in
the documentation".
Since I have looked into the code, I do understand its
logic.
The last sentence in the second paragraph under the
heading "Using a
type-map file" says:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cg
i?id=41885#add_comment
"This file would be named foo.var, as it describes
a resource named foo."
In an earlier paragraph "About Content
Negotiation", the first sentence of
the last paragraph:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiat
ion.html#about
"A resource is a conceptual entity identified by a
URI (RFC 2396)."
As for "a resource named foo", what's wrong if
I request for foo? Am I
supposed to request "foo.var" for "a resource
named foo"?
Also, the second paragraph under "Using a type-map
file":
"It is conventional to begin a map file with an
entry for the combined
entity as a whole (although this is not required, and if
present will be ignored)."
I suppose this means the first line "URI: foo"
in the example. So I request
the "combined entity", the "foo".
What's wrong with this anyway? If there is
no such combined entity "foo", why does it say so?
If foo.var is describing a
resource named foo.var, shouldn't it be documented this
way?

Actually, it is the first thing I checked, even before I
read the
documentation, in order to get our local documentation copy
working.

Please fix this in the documentation. I would not like
to see another one
wasting so much time on this.
