Yes apache is "running in a mode where it returns the myfile.html
whenasked for myfile". That is the problem.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html indicates that,
that is the way apache works.
There are no symlinks.
As for "Mapping URLs to Filesystem Locations"
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/urlmapping.html).
I'm not using
Alias <mod/mod_alias.html#alias>
AliasMatch <mod/mod_alias.html#aliasmatch>
mod_rewrite <mod/mod_rewrite.html>
or
mod_speling <mod/mod_speling.html>
and I don't think that this is a mod_userdir issue. <mod/mod_userdir.html>
You guys are keeping me honest... I'll give you that. I really
appreciate your willingness to jump in there and get dirty with this one.
