             Summary: Confusing/messy index listings on mirrors
                 Key: COCOON-2326
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2326
             Project: Cocoon
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: - Documentation
            Reporter: Sebb


The distribution directories use customised .htaccess files to change the look 
of the generated index listings.

However, the IndexOptions settings do not agree with the standard settings used 
elsewhere and which are required for our mirrors [1].

In particular, FoldersFirst and ScanHTMLTitles are missing.
This is potentially confusing for users.
Removing the IndexOptions entry from .htaccess would solve the issue.

Also, the .htaccess files override the images used for folders and file types.
However, these use relative links, and only currently work for directories that 
contain the appropriate .htaccess file.

So for example the following index listing looks very messy:

http://www.apache.org/dist/cocoon/2.2/

It's also potentially confusing for mirror users to see different icons for the 
same file types in different Apache products.
Again, removing the entries would be one way to solve the issue.
