I have experienced the same problem with Apache 2.2.0 on Solaris 2.8. Would not have found a solution if not for this report. I have found that while I get a blank index returned in MS IE 6 on Win2k, Netscape 7.1 in Win2k and Firefox 1.5 on Solaris 8, if I telnet into the server and GET a directory, the properly formatted index is returned. I can also get a properly formatted index by connecting with Netscape 4.76 on Solaris or Win2k. I worked around the problem using SSI with an shtml file containing only an include for a file containing the original content of my HeaderName file and another for my ReadmeName file. The problem is exhibited with a ReadmeName file over 255 bytes as well. Derek derekcooper30[at]hotmail_dot_com
