I think I'm beginning to lose my mind.

I want to deliver different home pages (replace index.html) based on
the contents of %{HTTP-ACCEPT} ... basically as follows:

if HTTP-ACCEPT matches /wml/  (perl regular expression), I
want to redirect the user to index.wml

if HTTP-ACCEPT matches /hdml/  (perl regular expression), I
want to redirect the user to index.hdml

Otherwise, they get index.html

I can't figure out why the following doesn't work:

Rewri*gine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTP-ACCEPT} wml
RewriteRule ^/index\.html$     index.wml      
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTP-ACCEPT} hdml
RewriteRule ^/index\.html$     index.hdml

I've tried everything from JUST

Rewri*gine on
RewriteRule ^/$ index.wml

To including just about every flag possible

and STILL nothing happens.  Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

Apache 1.3.12 + mod_php4 + mod_perl + mod_ssl on FreeBSD 3.5

Rewri*gine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} wml
RewriteRule ^$  index.wml
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} hdml
RewriteRule ^$  index.hdml  

I was making 2 mistakes:   1: it's HTTP_ACCEPT; NOT HTTP-ACCEPT
                           2: the rules are based on relative from root,
                                so ^$ matches /

Before you buy.

By the way, you should start a new thread when you have a new
question, rather than just replying to an existing thread and
changing the subject.  Otherwise, threaded newsreaders will
dump your message under the one you are replying to.
