Subject: Downloading main web page based on location From: Glen Lee Edwards <GLEdwards@uswest.net> Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 21:23:51 -0500 (CDT) I know that Apache has a feature that allows for the downloading of different home pages based on language, but does it offer this feature based on location? I have a domain that is international in scope. Some English speaking people associated with me in Switzerland would like to be able to download an English language Swiss oriented home page, meaning, if I download the home page from here in the US my page comes up in English, but if they download the home page for the domain from Switzerland their home page in English comes up. Can this be done? === Subject: Re: Downloading main web page based on location From: Cameron Simpson <cs@zip.com.au> Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 14:57:52 +1000 On Sat, Aug 12, 2000 at 09:23:51PM -0500, Glen Lee Edwards wrote: | I know that Apache has a feature that allows for the downloading of | different home pages based on language, but does it offer this feature | based on location? No. Leaving aside the nongeographic domains (which most are), the mapping from country code to language is a bit dubious. Instead, the browser is meant to express a language preference in the request. ===
