FW: I'm resending this email from 01/04 due to an email gateway error -- Hi Paul,
You have reached a limitation of the CLAP pseudo-protocol which isn't suitable to list the content of a directory and therefore do any sort of content negotiation. We could automatically append the indexName to a directory URI to try to prevent the 404 or need to hardcode the URI as you have to do though. Would you mind entering an issue in GitHub?
