But both Safari and IE having the same error in the content-negotiation?

I suspect that the problem may be that Apache and/or Safari and IE aren't
designed correctly for handling content-negotiation of textual documents with
the character encoding specified (i.e. "text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1").

I have hacked my configuration of Apache a bit, so there is a chance that even
buggy browsers will get the documents.  Does it help?  (the critical URL is
<http://lego.jacob-sparre.dk/By/Huse/Tre_hjoernehuse/#square-ghost-cafe> - does
it help omitting the in-page-id?
<http://lego.jacob-sparre.dk/By/Huse/Tre_hjoernehuse/>)

Play well,

Jacob

(...) I'm guessing that maybe IE isn't doing content-negotiation correctly? Anyone with IE and a sniffer handy that can tell us what the headers look like on the request? (21 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
