The problem in this case is that it's not the _user_ who is stating its priorities, but the software he uses... > The RFC2616 "12.1 Server-driven Negotiation" says : > > However, an origin server is not limited to these dimensions and MAY > > vary the response based on any aspect of the request, including > > information outside the request-header fields or within extension > > header fields not defined by this specification. > > And that's very useful for server side negotiation, because on the > server side, it's likely that the language were written in one given > language, then translated.

My more immediate concern is that for a very long time now, konqueror users are still shown an english Debian homepage, which is really annoying. I'll _maybe_ try to find time to go through the konqueror sources and try to find where a simple patch could apply to correct this annoying behavior. Let's hope I'll find time ! ;) Don't worry : I won't stop reporting and contributing for and on bugs : what lacks is time and knowledge, not motivation ;) .
