Subject: Re: mod_autoindex/4256: Patch to permit HeaderName and Readme files to
be server parsed.
Date: Wed, 21 Apr 1999 16:47:35 +0000
The following patch changes the documentation for HeaderName and
ReadmeName
directive to reflect the new functionality from my previous patch.
NOTE: If this fuctionality does not make it into Apache 1.3.7, this
patch
will have to be changed.
