Hi, I'm revisiting a very old Mason site (still running 1.05, I'm upgrading it to the latest Mason) and I stumbled on something about serving index.html files and multiple component roots.
This sites uses a "common" and "channel" component setup. Its the same basic site, shared with different output channels. Each channel has its on component root and it appears first in the list of component roots, so that each site can override the common one. The Apache document root points to the channel document root, and the Apache configuration uses a DocumentIndex directive to set the index.html file as the one to get on directory URLs. But if I move all index.html components to the common component root (outside the Apache document root), the /dir/ => /dir/index.html internal rewrite will not happen, because there is no /dir/ nor /dir/index.html in the Apache document root. The question is: do you have a similar setup that is working? If so how? I searched the docs and I found about decline_dirs setting that might help me but it seems that I would need to create a dhandler for each directory where I have an index.html file. Looking at the code it seems that Mason doesn't deal with this situation at all. Maybe moving the Apache "DirectoryIndex" setting to Mason would make some sense, given that right now it doesn't seem to be able to deal with multiple component roots? If so, would you accept a patch for it?
