The language version of pages that are being served by CCN does not seem
to be correct in some cases - I'm not sure if the list forwarded below is
exhaustive :-)
One example is the "English" link on the French home page, which always
displays french under beta-lynx - FR, but that is clearly not the only
case, it seems to be a general problem. That implies it is not just
apache, but also Local lynx which sees the problem.

It may be partly Netscape, but I think its also partly a configuration
problem on CCN's machine. We had two disk crashes last week, a few things
are not working quite right yet (although I'm not sure if that is to blame
here :-(
First, I see the same behaviour as you do, if I set Netscape 3.0 to
{en,fr} But if I set Netscape to {fr} only, then the default page on
chebucto.ns.ca is English, and the .fr version is French. On the other
hand, if one uses http://reseau.chebucto.ns.ca/ one sees the French
version, regardless of preferences (that is set up in apache config.)
On Beta-Lynx, with preference set to fr, I get the behaviour you see, and
cannot see the English version at all. :-(
BTW, the default home page on CCN is Home.html, not index.html, which
is a link to Home.html, as is home.html; same for the French versions.
Home.html is generated by a script from Home.tmpl
ALL of which is to say that I'll forward the issue to someone who can take
a closer look at the config.
