Hi, I discvorered a buggy behaviour in mod_autoindex: when the file README.html is gzipped or compressed the content of that file is showed after the directory listing. The problem is that the content of the README file is gzipped or compressed and is showed verbatim. This problem is also mentioned in bug #21372 (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21372). I have issued a new bug #39937 (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39937), and provided a patch (available on the same bug report). If this is not a bug, could you explain why? I apologize for not following the guidelines (it's supposed that I should have asked first here and then filed the bug) and for my english mistakes.
There was an old vaudeville joke that went something like: A man walks into the doctor's office, raises his arm and says, "Doc, it hurts when I do this." The doctor says, "Don't do that." Yes, there is a small bug here in the sense that Apache tries to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot by only trying to include text/* documents but allows you to dodge that check using encoding and shot yourself in the foot anyway. But that is really only a safety check, and the fix is either not gzip your README, or configure apache not to include it. (In other words, stop trying to shoot yourself in the foot.) I think it is borderline whether it is worth adding code to check for this special case.
