 While you need mod_rewrite for discovery via http://example.com/wp-json/
 to work, I run into problems without it. The Link resonse header then says

 {{{
 <http://example.com/index.php/wp-json/>; rel="https://api.w.org/"
 }}}
 but calling this results in
 {{{
 {"code":"rest_no_route","message":"No route was found matching the URL and
 request method","data":{"status":404}}
 }}}

 The same error is returned on my public site https://browser-
 unplugged.net/index.php/wp-json/ where rewrite is working. The response is
 obviously given by the REST API. The REST API plugin was never installed,
 and I did flush the rewrite rules as proposed in [ticket:39424]

 For sites like developer.wordpress.org or demo.wp-api.org, the address
 works.

 http://example.com/index.php/index.php/?rest_route=/,
 http://example.com/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/ and all endpoints work as
 expected.
