httpd::dirlist - directory handling
The package httpd::dirlist is an adjunct to the package httpd::doc, it provides the handling of directories to it. Note that the two packages cross-reference each other, in other words they are interdependent. It might make sense to make them one package in the future.
The command sets the glob pattern used by the package to locate the index file for a directory.
This is the main command for the handling of directories. The name of the requested directory is in path.
The command will first try to locate an index file for the directory and failing that it will either reply with a not-found message generate a listing of the directory contents on its own, depending on whether directories are considered as hidden or not.
If an index file was found it is given back to httpd::doc for handling (Doc_Handle).
After the call of command all requests for directories without an index file will generate not-found replies.
After the call of command all requests for directories without an index file will generate listings of their contents. This is also the default status for the package.
Returns the status set by Dir_HideListings and Dir_ShowListings.
