What do you mean by 'updates the "Directory of" HREF accordingly'? Are you trying to say mod_proxy_ftp requests a *different* URL from the origin server? If so, it sounds like a bug. > The browser is unsure whether > the dir2 is a file or directory so it's base_href location stays at: > > ftp://ftp.example.com/dir1/ That's entirely right if the server didn't issue a redirect. > In http a redirect would have been returned to the browser with a trailing > slash once the directory is detected.

That correction, in either http or ftp, is the business of the origin server, not the proxy. For a proxy to issue it would be deeply broken. -- Nick Kew
