SetHandler was an Apache 1.3 thing, it hasn't really mattered since. In Apache 2, all my testing has always indicated that when I register a handler, every request for anything passes through it if something else doesn't grab it first. Nothing I ever tried, be it file extension or MIME type, ever made a difference.

So it checks whether the request's computed handlerURL is contained as a prefix of the actual request URL, and if it is, it runs as one. If not, it doesn't.
