Redirection To Existing WebP Images Fails

    I have installed WebP Express v0.18.2 on a WampServer Apache 2.4.43a webserver running PHP 7.4.0 as a localhost website dev environment a few hours ago. When I run the “Enable direct redirection to existing converted images” live test it fails with the following message:

    Lets check that browsers supporting webp gets the WEBP when the JPEG is requested
Making a HTTP request for the test image (pretending to be a client that supports webp, by setting the "Accept" header to "image/webp")
Request URL: https://localhost/IST01/wp-content/uploads/webp-express-test-images/FSNTxk.JPEG
The remote request errored
The request FAILED
The test cannot be completed
Deleting test images

    I am also getting the error message "It seems your server setup does not support headers in .htaccess. You should either fix this (install mod_headers) or deactivate the "Enable direct redirection to existing converted images?" option." I have verified that Apache’s mod_headers module has been loaded using phpinfo(). I have spent two hours reading the support tickets on this forum for this error message but nothing seems to apply to my situation. BTW – I have disabled the “Enable redirection to converter” and “Create webp files upon request” options. I manually bulk converted all existing files in the /uploads directory (and subdirectories) and the appropriate WebP files are present.

    Any suggestions about what to do?
