Apache 2 multiviews and 406 error for image/* request

问题

The client is requesting an image:

GET /api/2.0/users/80.png HTTP/1.1
Host: learnwithecho.com
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: image/* <------------------------------ HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART
Accept-Language: en-us
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Echo/1.0.16.1 CFNetwork/672.0.2 Darwin/12.5.0

And I have a script at api/2.0/users.php (yes, PATH_INFO is on)

...
header('Content-Type: image/png');
$user = User::getUserWithID($filename);
header("Location: ".$user->getImageURL());
exit(0);

But Apache or PHP is trying to act like it knows me... and it don't. It assumes a PHP script couldn't possibly want to respond with a image/png and it throws a 406 Not Acceptable error.

Can I successfully configure Apache/PHP to respond to this request?

回答1:

Yes. Just use the MultiviewsMatch directive to tell Apache that it can serve .php files regardless of whether their MIME type is compatible with the Accept header:

<Files "*.php">
    MultiviewsMatch Any
</Files>

From the docs, the effect is as follows:

You may finally allow Any extensions to match, even if mod_mime doesn't recognize the extension.

回答2:

You need to either disable MultiViews in this context or create dummy copies of your script with extensions that tell mod_negotiation what kinds of mimetypes it can generate (not really recommended)

as-is, mod_negotiation has no way to probe for what types can be generated by users.php.
