Description

Is it really neccesary to have souch strange URLs containing brackets?
Nobody uses this, there will be a lot of mistakes from not using what users
expect (you know Nielsen about this ...).

http://www.gnupg.org/docs.html had much better usability than
http://www.gnupg.org/(de)/documentation/index.html.

I'd prefer the simple and intuitive system Debian use:

http://www.debian.org/intro/free triggers content negotiation upon the
language set in the browser (it is also the adress that should be linked
to).
http://www.debian.org/intro/free.en.html forces the english version.
http://www.debian.org/intro/free.de.html forces the german version etc.

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/multi/6.html mainly deals with Apache but
is good for the basics as well.

Fix

This is an optimization used by Caudium when cookies are disabled. There is nother we can do about this unless we switch the Webserver or write a new Caudium language module.

The URL w/o the (de) does still work so it is more a cosmetich problem.

Event Timeline

Werner should make a decision about keeping Caudium and update it to latest
version that should suppport .xx.html scheme, or switching to Apache.

Explained that it is a Caudium issue

werner removed a project: Stalled.

Caudium eats too much resources and for our static pages its
overkill to use such a dynamic server. I consider to switch
to another webserver; not very likely Apache becuase this
beast is similar to Caudium.
