Still problems with the main ocaml web page

Still problems with the main ocaml web page

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Hi all,

Sorry to to harp on this, but the main ocaml web page still doesn't
render with some web browsers, for instance Galeon 1.2.5 and Galeon
1.3.20.

Going to http://caml.inria.fr/ results in the browser being served
a file with MIME type unknown/unknown. Since the browser doesn't
know the file type it offer me the option of saving the file 
rather than viewing it.

This is an problem with the setup of the web server itself. It
often means that the /etc/apache2/mime.types is missing or 
has no entry for the file type being served.

Someone pointed me to the HEAD script which on my machine produces
this:

    Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 13:15:04 GMT
    Accept-Ranges: bytes
    Age: 272
    ETag: "110072-1a09-ee80fb80"
    Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Debian GNU/Linux) mod_ssl/2.0.52 OpenSSL/0.9.7e
    Vary: negotiate,accept,accept-language
    Content-Language: en
    Content-Length: 6665
    Content-Location: index.en.html
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
    <snip>

which means that the server is OK and that the problem must be in my
browser.

I just installed Galeon 1.3.20 on Debian (unstable, i386) to test it, 
and seemed to render fine.  No visual anomalies or mime type problems. 
What was the specific rendering issue?

In my computer, the problem occurs with Galeon 1.3.19.  The error is
triggered by a malformed header line sent by Galeon:

    Accept-Language: English,fi;q=0.5

The server sends a correct Content-Type if the above is corrected to

    Accept-Language: en,fi;q=0.5

I was experiencing the same problem with Galeon 1.3.20, but it went
away when I set my Languages preferences to English and French.  But
then I deleted French and the problem did not reappear, so I am
mystified.

Try "cp index.html index.html.html".  This is a technique I found in Apache
manpage and that I use successfully for my multi-linguistic website.

=> no E-mail address is routable... What do you mean ? The host
caml.inria.fr is routable, i.e., the host which has the (alias) name
caml.inria.fr has a routable IP address (128.93.11.23).

I mean that the mail relay fails with that message:

That was the typo in the address. Having read of webmaster@ address
problems in the caml-list I did not double checked the delivery error
report. I am very sorry.

=> the error is right, its name is not (:-).
