Hello!
I recently learned that both the AddType and AddHandler directives run a
multiple extension approach [1]. So a line like
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
^^^^^^^
could get you into situations where image uploads of files named
"code.php.png" despite ".php" not being the end of the string. Okay.
I have seen lines like
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
^^^^
using AddType rather than AddHandler (e.g. at a rather popular German
website called Selfhtml [2]), too. That's why I'm contacting you.
>From the official AddType docs [3] I was assuming that AddType would
only set the string sent in "Content-type: ..." server response headers,
previously.
To put it into questions:
* What are the effects of a "AddType ..." line really?
* What are the differences of AddType and AddHandler?
* What is the relation of MIME types and handlers in Apache?
* Are there differences from what Apache 2.2 did compared to 2.4
in this area of working?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
Sebastian
