If there is no physical file, then nothing will get done by the patch at all (since r->finfo.filetype is 0). It won't affect mod_dir's old behaviour at all.

I guess I was aiming at this: - if all files are physical and local, then mod_dir and DirectoryIndex are fine and make sense - if all files are not physical and local, mod_dir and DirectoryIndex don't make sense and should not be used Bojan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
