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.
