DirectoryIndex accumulation

           Summary: DirectoryIndex accumulation
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.40
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_dir
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tometzky@batory.org.pl


DirectoryIndex directive is accumulated. It's undocumented behavior but used by
some vendors (for example RedHat) for packaging modules like PHP (in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file included with "Include /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf").

But its accumulation behavior is not clear - it works within one context - first
occurence of DirectoryIndex in VirtualHost overwrites the parent context list.

Please document this behavior or remove it. Or even better make it possible to
add index files at end/start of DirectoryIndex list (with another directive,
f.e. DirectoryIndexAdd or with '+' before option, which can cause problems with
adding filenames starting with '+'). There should also be possible to clear the
list.
