Ah, we may have been looking at this backwards. Rather than ask why Apache ISN'T serving JSON, we might ask why it SHOULD. IIRC, following the general principle of least access Apache's defaults serve only a small number of types, and additional types must be added explicitly. Just as we use directives to tell Apache to recognize the file type ".lc", you should be able to tell it to recognize .json by adding this to Apache's config: AddType application/json .json Details here also show how to force UTF-8 for json, along with other tips: https://htaccessbook.com/useful-htaccess-rules/ -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

The server return 400 Not Found when routing for a *.json file, while 200 OK when routing for a *.txt file - all other conditions seem the same. If I replace “json” with “json” or “xyz” or any arbitrary txt in the (Revigniter) routing everything works as expected. The .htaccess in the $DOCUMENT_ROOT folder does not mention json file endings.

Is the redirect a 301, 302, or something else? Is the returntype appropriate for JSON?

Livecode server configuration: tracking down and Apache redirect
I have a Livecode server running Revigniter under Apache on Ubuntu. I installed it 8 years ago or so, and it is causing redirect problems with files ending in .json. I am assuming that a long time ago a set the configuration somewhere to handle .json files in a particular way, but I can’t track this down. Any thoughts where to look? I’ve tried the following places so far: .htaccess and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf which do their job - but no mention of .json files. I’m wondering if there is some sort of log that would allow me to know how Apache is handling a faulty redirect? I’m a bit stuck tracking it down. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
