Tinderbox

I’m working on a multi-lingual site problem for a friend of sorts. The basic problem was how to get Apache MultiViews to remember your language preference regardless of what your browsers Accept-Language header is set to without having to alter any browser configurations. Of course you could hack some scripts and links to do the same using a redirector page, but this way the href links remain clean and simple.

With a little bit of PerlInitHandler goodness and some javascript, all is well.

Take a tinker with the mock site.

P.S.. Yes. “Tinderbox” isn’t too original of a host name, but I find it funny in a code-burst-into-flames sort of way. :-)

P.S.S. I’m a loser. It really does validate. :-)
