Re: DirectoryIndex ignored when using perl-handler

that code is essentially right.  well, except that the above example sets
$r->handler instead of comparing it.  adding the code at the bottom of this
mail essentially makes your tests pass, except that I think your last test
is wrong - your DirectoryIndex puts the index script ahead of everything
else, so the results should match "Hello" and not "welcome".


> I tried adding the above code to Apache::Dir 

Apache::Dir was just an example.  the below code used as the only fixup
handler should do the trick.

package My::Fixup;

  my $r = shift;

  if ($r->handler eq 'perl-script' &&
      -d $r->filename              &&
      $r->is_initial_req)
  {
    $r->handler(Apache2::Const::DIR_MAGIC_TYPE);

    return Apache2::Const::OK;
  }

  return Apache2::Const::DECLINED;
}
