Accessing Magento API with PHP SoapClient results in redirect - Access over browser works

Question

I'm accessing the Magento SOAP API v2 with PHP's SoapClient

$soap_client = new SoapClient($wsdl_url, array('trace' => 1));

The wsdl url is http://www.example.org/index.php/api/v2_soap/?wsdl=1
Opening the url in the browser results in a valid xml document.
However when I access that same url with the SoapClient I get the following error message from $soap_client->__getLastResponse():

Invalid webservice adapter specified.

Looking at the request headers with $soap_client->__getLastRequestHeaders() shows that the call is being redirected to http://www.example.org/api/v2_soap/index/:

POST /api/v2_soap/index/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.org
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: PHP-SOAP/5.4.3
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "urn:Mage_Api_Model_Server_V2_HandlerAction"
Content-Length: 542

Calling that url (http://www.example.org/api/v2_soap/index/) in the browser outputs the same error message that the SoapClient returns (Invalid webservice adapter specified.)

How is it possible that the SoapClient is being redirected while a normal http request works fine?

Any help greatly appreciated

Have you tried disabling MultiViews in Apache with .htaccess? stackoverflow.com/questions/13932908/… — B00MER

The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo.*, and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client's requirements.
