Negotiation not caring about language sequence in request

           Summary: Negotiation not caring about language sequence in
                    request
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_negotiation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: apache@jth.net


Apparently content negotiation no longer cares about the sequence in which the browser (e.g. 
Opera 6.05) presents the languages. The priority should be first mentioned, first served. Opera 
does not assign a q-value to each language, so they will have equal values, but it is wrong to treat 
them as equally good and pick any of them. This will give different languages from different 
directories depending on how the files are found.
This worked very well in 1.3.x for files like 
index.var mentioning index.da.html and index.en.html. Now its totally broken. Even explicitly 
calling index.var will not give the wanted primary language.

# DefaultLanguage 
da
AddLanguage da .da
AddLanguage en .en
ForceLanguagePriority and 
LanguagePriority have no consistent influence.
