Sometimes it is also due to authorization via HTTP, especially with regard to the REST API of WordPress. In this case the following snippet in the `.htaccess` helps:

```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
  RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
</IfModule>
```
