Because your Browser seems to add * to the Accept-Language header. That's a PITA but it's the way it is. So your final request header looked something like this: Accept-Language: en-us, * If you request * you get any page -- in that case it was portugese. > Why do you think a setting of en-us (only) should return Portugese?

Because debian.org is more or less the only site that uses Content-Negotiation. There aren't many pages that use that feature, unfortunately. If there were, we wouldn't have to answer the same boring questions over and over again :-( > Note that I have not ignored Debian's warning about adding country > extensions to the browser settings.

Well, and that common default configuration disrespects the content negotiation handling. Go and blame your browser producer, not debian. Thanks for the attention. > P.S.

If you take every question as a personal attack you should get some more self confidence. Sorry for made you feel that way. The point is still: Your browser defaults stink and are broken. There's no need to blame us for that. Have a nice day, Alfie -- Debian trennt strikt zwischen stable, unstable und testing releases, so daß Du entscheiden kannst, ob Du auf den Gegner, Deinen Fuß oder beide Füße gleichzeitig schießen willst. -- Robin S.
