<p>Files can have more than one extension, and the order of the
extensions is <em>normally</em> irrelevant. For example, if the
file <code>welcome.html.fr</code> maps onto content type
- text/html and language French then the file <code>welcome.fr.html</code>
- will map onto exactly the same information. If more than one
- extension is given which maps onto the same

+ <code>welcome.fr.html</code> will map onto exactly the same information.

type of meta-information, then the one to the right will be
- used. For example, if ".gif" maps to the MIME-type image/gif

<p>Care should be taken when a file with multiple extensions
gets associated with both a MIME-type and a handler. This will
usually result in the request being by the module associated
with the handler. For example, if the <code>.imap</code>

- and the <code>.html</code> extension is mapped to the MIME-type
