Sorry; not ListingHandler, but IndexHandler.
But there is no point to a NotFoundHandler; the existing mechanics
in ScriptAlias combined with PATH_INFO solve that problem already.
I think the interest was in handling the directory resource URI and
that would be an IndexHandler, absolutely.
The intent was to call a something (I'd call it a handler) for
requests that don't correspond to a resource. This is to answer the
frequent configuration:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [PT]
ie - if the request wasn't for a file, send the request directly to
index.php (or index.pl, or wordpress.php, or whatever)
and variations thereof that occur in every PHP web app I install these
days. This situation is common enough that it seems like something we
aught to support out of the box.
