# The Sultanate Hotels — static site server config
# Pure static HTML/CSS. No build step.

# ---- Character encoding -------------------------------------------------
# Without this the server sends "Content-Type: text/html" with no charset and
# strict clients (some crawlers, link previewers, feed readers) mis-decode the
# em-dashes and "·" separators used throughout the copy.
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
  AddCharset UTF-8 .html .css .js .svg

# ---- Canonical HTTPS ----------------------------------------------------
# Both conditions must hold before redirecting, so a TLS-terminating proxy
# that forwards plain HTTP internally cannot cause a redirect loop.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

# ---- Caching ------------------------------------------------------------
# HTML stays uncached so admin-panel publishes appear immediately.
# Fingerprinted CSS and photography are safe to cache hard.
