I'm not trying to argue, I just want to make sure that *I* understand how Apache works -- I thought that if you deny "read" access to a directory to Apache, then it won't list the files, but as long as Apache still has "execute" access to the directory then it should still serve files from it. Just like using "ls" in the shell, you can read files in a directory you cannot read, as long as you can execute the directory and know the exact filename. Am I wrong?
