           Summary: consider switching off directory listings by default
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.7
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: andreas@schildba.ch


Is there any reason that directory listings are possible with the default
configuration of Tomcat 5.5/5.0/4.1/... ?

The first thing I always do after installing a release is switching off listings
in conf/web.xml. Maybe I am overcautious, but I always fear my users are getting
insight into my applications that they should not get.

What do you think about switching it off by default?
