[Bug 52403] FallbackResource doesn't work for non-existent PHP files in webroot

--- Comment #5 from Richard George <ri...@phase.org> ---
This (or a very similar) issue causes OSX clients ONLY to fail to connect to
virtual hosts configured with any DirectoryIndex line together with a
FallbackResource line, unless "DirectoryIndex disabled" is used.

This has been tested with the following clients:

OSX 10.9.4 Firefox 30.0                 - FAILS
OSX 10.9.4 Safari 7.0.5                 - FAILS
OSX 10.9.4 command-line telnet port 80  - FAILS

Ubuntu 14.04 links (command-line browser) - WORKS
Ubuntu 14.04 command-line telnet port 80  - WORKS
Windows 7 Firefox 30.0                    - WORKS

All working machines were VirtualBox VMs inside the OSX boxes. When the page
loads, it loads instantly, when it fails, it never connects and eventually
times out.

The following server config shows the problem. Server is Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit,
Apache 2.4.7-1ubuntu4 on an AWS EC2 t2.small instance

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName tdd-deciphered.com
        ServerAlias tddd.ec2.phase.org

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

#  OSX clients cannot connect when these DirectoryIndex directives are missing
        DirectoryIndex disabled
        DirectoryIndex index.php

        DocumentRoot /home/wechsler/repos/tdd-deciphered/web/
        <Directory />
                Options +FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
        </Directory>
        <Directory /home/wechsler/repos/tdd-deciphered/web>
#  OSX clients cannot connect when this directive is used
#               DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
                Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Require all granted

                FallbackResource /index.php
        </Directory>

        ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tdd-error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel warn

        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tdd-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

This particular issue would appear to be a doozy of an edge case
