DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides the filename for a given URI. It supplements uri_to_file and provides typeless URIs, i.e. URIs that do not contain a file extension.

See http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI for a discussion of why this is a Good Thing (TM).

It works by trying several extensions on the given URI until the resulting file exists.

CONFIG

URIExtensions STRINGLIST

A list of file extensions to try in sequence not including the leading dot.

TODO

Content Negotiation should be investigated for another level of flexibility.
