Bug #13421: Problematic MIME-Type "application/x-httpd-php"

From: php@matthias-wimmer.de Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: Problematic MIME-Type "application/x-httpd-php" I noticed that using the MIME-Type "application/x-httpd-php" for php-Scripts produces a problem under Apache 1.3.x with MultiViews turned on. When an user agent (like Google or Altavista) sends the Header "Accept: text/*" and the complete location is not given (e.g. "http://domain.com/index" instead of "http://domain.com/index.php") Apache tries to guess the right file-name extension. But Apache will answer the request with a 406 error ("not acceptable") becaus it thinks the php file is of type "application/x-httpd-php", which is not compatible to "text/*". Me suggested solution would be to change the MIME-Type to "text/x-httpd-php". Content negotiation under Apache 1.3 would work then. Note: This problem is non existend at Apache 2.0.x where I can change the MIME type without any problems because php is a filter there. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13421&edit=1
