[opensuse-factory] w3m and http 406 (was: Language selection and keyboard during installation)

Yeah, I saw that - I think w3m is sending something odd in the request. You could try wget or firefox.
I could, but I'm using Alpine (text) which is currently configured to use w3m. I had to paste the link on firefox.
Why it didn't immediately work in w3m - w3m apparently asks for "/index" when no other path is given, i.e. if you run "w3m http://geo.jessen.ch". My webserver is set up to use content-negotiation, and the only available option in this case was a PHP file, which is why apache said "406 nothing appropriate, but feel free to pick this php code". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-2.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

On an xterm it works, true. Let me try in alpine again [...] today it works, too. Did you change something? I haven't, it is the same session (s2disk). Different IP, surely.

I changed it such that silly browsers asking specifically for "/index" also will get a result :-) (w3m really should leave it to apache and the webserver config to decide which document to present when the client doesn't ask for one). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Browsing standards are not that standard. Pity. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

They are. w3m just behaves badly. Not sure where upstream is, but
if you could file a bug there, that would be good.
