[Bug 65242] New: DirectoryCheckHandler ambiguous
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65242

Bug ID: 65242
Summary: DirectoryCheckHandler ambiguous
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.39
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: calestyo@scientia.net
Target Milestone: ---

Hi.

The documentation on DirectoryCheckHandler doesn't really tell which of "On" or
"Off" is the one, that enables/disables mod_dir's index/trailing-slash in the
case another handler has been set.

- The default is described as "Off", while pre-2.4 is described as having
effectively had "On"

- It also says: "In releases prior to 2.4, this module did not take any action
if any other handler was configured for a URL." ... which would make one
assume, that:
On = do not index/trailing-slash if another handler is set
Off = do index/trailing-slash if another handler is set

However, in the next sentence it says the opposite:
"This allows directory indexes to be served even when a SetHandler directive is
specified for an entire directory"


It should be clearly explained, what On/Off do... which one will lead mod_dir
provide index/trailing-slash if another handler is set, and which one will not.


Cheers,
Chris.
