Weird mozilla,lynx,IE + apache + php problem
Hi all,
Ive had a strange and weird problem that i actually solved now but would
like youre comments on.
Problem with php source showing(And yes i have a working php install ;).
Apache 1.3.20 and php 4.x
If you have a swap file like "www.site.com/index.php~", you can via
mozilla/lynx(havent tried opera) see the php source by writing
"www.site.com/index".
With IE 6 i get the correct output.
Now i have setup a "files" directiv in httpd.conf so you can`t access
the swap files, the swap files should not exist in this area but there are
probably alot of people just like me that currently have not errased them
or setup restrictions.
I have confirmed that a Mandrake 8.1 with apache 1.3.22 dosent have the
problem, so my question is have any of you heard about this bug(Or if i
missed anything in the config).
You can actually see in the apache respond that it send different answers
for mozilla and IE.
Here are the http requests:

Ok great,
I turned of MultiViews and the problem is gone.
Interesting response though, that mozilla get´s one and IE another.
Thanks.

The best advice is to turn off Multiviews unless you really need it. It has
been turned on in the default httpd.conf for a while to let the
multi-language "it worked" page function, but that was probably a mistake.
There were also several changes in 1.3.22 to the Multiviews code that may
have changed this behaviour, and a complete rewrite in 2.0. I don't
recommend using Multiviews in 1.3.22 at all, however, because it trashes the
query string.
I don't know exactly what is happening in your case (these negotiation
things are very difficult to figure out), but it has to do with apache
negotiating between different versions of a file, and then favouring the one
that has no attributes attached to it (because the .php~ extension is
unrecognized).
