    Hey, all:

    I've been reading the docs for Apache 1.3.x trying to understand content
    negotiation, and while I think I'm starting to get the picture I'm not
    altogether clear. Can someone offer a quick hint to getting this working?

    I am switching all ".html" files on my website to ".php" but I now realize
    that I will need a bunch of "Permanent Redirect" calls so as not to break
    links and search engines. And, should I ever choose to change a suffix I
    will have the same problem, which is why content negotiation sounds so
    nice. All I want is for Apache to see a URI like
    "http://domain.com/sendmail-howto" and serve up sendmail-howto.php if it
    exists, or sendmail-howto.html if the .php file does not exist. That way my
    URI's will be shorter, easier to remember for users, and less prone to
    breakage later if/when I have to change something.

    Pointers and hints most welcome!
