It's more robust. Currently, /test/ is confirmed as a valid address [not an error or other problem.] With this patch, if /test/index.html is denied, the user won't be shown /test/ (which is a good thing, IMHO.) But reflecting on the patch, perhaps we should allow the admin to configure Autoindex to 'drill' into DIRs, or to always serve all (non-excluded) DIR entries without any subrequest checking whatsoever. Same on content, I suppose, although it would break all of the ByType directives for directories configured that way. Bill
