What if the browser does not send proper accept type

This ideally should be a comment, but since github doesn't allow comments, filing an issue.
Your nginx config mentions to check if the client accepts webp or not.
Is it 100% sure that browsers send this? I see things like
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
What do the q=0.9 mean?
I don't see an explicit mention of webp
Doesn't the config file check for *.webp in the accept headers (as a string regex)
Or am I missing something?
Chrome will only send "image/webp" accept header for image requests - e.g. a request initiated by an tag.
