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.

I suspect there is another file somewhere doing the Apache based redirect?

I can’t see information there that will help debug.
