+This returns the Last-Modified and ETag values for the listed directory
+in the HTTP header. It is only valid if the operating system and file
+system return legitimate stat() results. Most Unix systems do so, as
+do OS2's JFS and Win32's NTFS volumes. OS2 and Win32 FAT volumes,
+for example, do not. Once this feature is enabled, the client or proxy
+can track changes to the list of files when they perform a HEAD request.
+Note some operating systems correctly track new and removed files, but
+do not track changes for sizes or dates of the files within the directory.
