AcceptPathInfo does not apply to DirectoryIndex files





------- Additional Comments From wrowe@apache.org 2002-05-15 04:28 -------

Of COURSE mod_dir is responsible for translating a directory into
a DirectoryIndex document, which is what the user is attempting to do.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex

What I'd suggest is a brand new directive. Either in mod_dir or in
mod_actions, to specify the files to serve for not found rather than
DirectoryIndex.

But wait, we have that already. They are ErrorDocuments. In fact, that's
the workaround I believe this admin needs. Replace the ErrorDocument 404
with a php script, and he's all set.

Remember, /foo/bar where foo is a dir and bar doesn't exist is really
a request for bar, not foo. You will break DAV and tons of other HTTP
applications changing that semantic.
