Research direction
Reproduce the request against a non-RDF binary such as a PDF using the Accept header shown in the issue, then trace the server's content-negotiation and conversion path. Done means an unsupported conversion returns HTTP 406 Not Acceptable instead of HTTP 500.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Reported by @timbl:
If you request a non-rdf resource (say a PDF file) with an accept header like Accept:image/*;q=0.9, application/rdf+xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/xml;q=0.2, application/xml;q=0.2, text/html;q=0.3, text/plain;q=0.1, text/n3;q=1.0, application/x-turtle;q=1, text/turtle;q=1, the server will try to convert it from PDF to RDF, and fail with a 500 error.
Should instead return a 406 Unacceptable.
