By design, for better or worse [feel free to debate here.] The new logic [perhaps 1.3 as well, you would have to look] does a subrequest on the /~stas/ url ... and decides it's broken [or inaccessable, or whatever] and autoindex won't display it. What's broken about not displaying things that the user cannot access? Bill
