After being away for a while, I got back to looking at this recently. On my 
production system, which has a more complex configuration, using an explicit 
DirectoryIndex doesn't solve the problem: to get output filters working by 
Location I need to specify Options -MultiViews. I need to use MultiViews *and* 
output filters, and this seems to be a bug that prevents simultaneous use.

Can someone confirm or deny this behaviour and recommend on whether it should 
be reported to the Apache bug tracker? I've now observed it on several copies 
of Apache 2.0.52 as bundled with different Linux systems, so it seems like more 
than a one-off to me.

Thanks in advance for any help (again!),
Andy

Hello again,

Any confirmations or denials before I post this as a bug report? I've also 
confirmed it with an Ubuntu Linux system running Apache 2.0.55.

Thanks,
Andy
