Rewriting of language negotiated pages fails

           Summary: Rewriting of language negotiated pages fails
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: adam@os.inf.tu-dresden.de

If a have a directory "a" with two files: "index.html.en" and "index.html.de", and query /a/index.html, rewriting rules will be applied to /a/index.html rather than to the file sent out (i.e. /a/index.html.en (in most cases)). /a/index.html doesn't exist on the filesystem. The same applies if one queries /a/ only, the DirectoryIndex file is found (i.e. index.html in this case) and the rewriting rules are applied to index.html instead of the actual file.
This used to work with apache 1.3.x.

I used a fresh copy of httpd-2.0.43.tar.gz and configured it with --prefix=/var/tmp/apache2 --enable-so --enable-rewrite --enable-modules=all --enable-mods-shared=all,

to the standard configuration I added at the end of the file: RewriteEngine On
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /var/tmp/apache2/logs/rwlog
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [L]

and the option MultiViews to the DocumentRoot directory

to see the following in the logs:

==> access_log <==

... - - [01/Jan/2003:15:01:53 +0100] "GET /a/ HTTP/1.0" 304 0
