Description Stanislav Brabec 2003-10-10 14:13:57 UTC

Because all documentation in /usr/share/doc in Gentoo is gzipped, "Options MultiViews" seems to be required to be able to browse these pages (if they are html ones).

I'm afraid I dont see why.

If I browse http://myserver/doc/maildrop-1.5.2/html/ I see everytyhing
properly.  I tested with other html files; they've all worked properly.

Maybe you'd be willing to complete a better/more informative bug report.
This doesnt tell me much, and I dont see any problems.

Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2003-10-30 13:16:39 UTC

Oh, sorry:

In currenct setup you can browse files from directory indexes, but you cannot
follow local links inside these files, simply because my doc files are gzipped
during installation.

Link searches for to http://myserver/doc/path/file.html, but file is actually
http://myserver/doc/path/file.html.gz.

Turning on MultiViews is the simplest way to fix it.

I'd argue html files shouldnt be getting gzipped... there's a 'dohtml' command
for ebuilds to facilitate this...

I guess its no problem to add the multiviews though, so whichever way you
want to go is fine by me.

Any further comments?
