I tested incremental index options for mod_autoindex and I wonder whether I understand the documentation, whether it works as designed or whether I hit a bug. Right now I'm just confused. As far as I understand, IndexOptions are applicable on the server config level or within 'directory'. Since nothing else is stated, I expect same results: === variant A === IndexOptions +XHTML <Directory /foo> Options Indexes </Directory> === variant B === <Directory /foo> Options Indexes IndexOptions +XHTML </Directory> This is not the case. Variant A does NOT enable XHTML while variant B does. The documentation states also that multiple index options for a single directory now merged together. ** I believe that the documentation forgot to mention that incremental options only work on a "single" directory and not on a server config level. ** However: I can only speculate about the reasons why there should be a difference on handling options on a server config or on a directory level. To me, and I truly hope I'm not the only one, makes this difference no sense at all.
Moving docs bugs to docs@httpd.a.o ownership.
This semss to occur when there are no autoindex directives in the per-dir config, but goes away when there are unrelated directives.
this is a bug
