i think that directory context is not just <Directory>, and the text at the url says the directive may be placed in <directory>, <location>, or <files> which i assume means <filesmatch> as well.
Right. I was getting the German version of this page and I swear it didn't include the <Files> thing last time I looked. Now it does. And it looks like it has been added during the last days as it is still missing an "or". So, you are right, yes.
i did some more testing and i was able to override the forcetype (if it truly is working) via header('content-type'), like you'd do for serving images via php. i guess i haven't tested without forcetype yet...
Thanks for the info. Still, I think you can keep the AddType directive and not use ForceType because the problem is only the AddHandler directive that overrides the mime-type for the image.
