> This feature has several issues:
> * HTTP does not provide any file listing because HTTP operates on resources only. There is no notion of directories. FS-semantics is available with WebDAV only. Generated listings are the result of {{mod_dir}} and friends.
> * If a listing is used you *cannot* assume any specific format, this being brittle, unreliable and incorrect at worst.
> * Annoying reports like MNG-7227 and WAGON-612
> * We cannot comply with the license correctly WAGON-574
> For all of those reasons this approach gives a little benifit adding something which does not have any semantics at all.
