It seems that this problem may be related with Accept-Language HTTP
header what is set
by browser according to the user language preferences. I'm using Firefox
1.0.2 (Windows XP),
and when I add English or French to the list of preferred languages,
OCaml site works very
well. But if I don't specify none of these, I get 'unknown/unknown'
content type.
It seems that caml.inria.fr web server can't handle the situation where
none of supported
languages (English, French) is specified in Accept-Language header.
Maybe the best solution
would be to change web server configuration and to make it behave just
like Accept-Language="en"
when Accept-Language is not specified or does not contain 'en' nor 'fr'.
As a workaround, it is easy to us users to set up our browsers to
request content in
English or French in addition to our favorite languages :). This
workaround works not
only for Mozilla Firefox, but for MS IE too (at least version 6.0).
Thank you for the excellent work you do!
OCaml is a very good and useful language, and new OCaml site looks
really nice!
