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! -- Dimitri
