For those who might need a bit of help implementing a workaround, here
is one that uses mod_rewrite to kill these kinds of requests:
RewriteCond "%{HTTP:Accept-Language}" "q=[0-9.]{10,}"
RewriteRule .* / [L,E=no-jk:1,R=400]
I chose "10" arbitrarily as the cutoff for the quality indicator, and
"400 Bad Request" as the response. Technically, this is a redirect but
it relies with a 400 status code. I also have the "no-jk" environment
variable set which will cause mod_jk to ignore such requests. It's not
really necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
Hope that helps,
