POST to /(index.cgi)
Late breakign bug...
If your DirectoryIndex is "index", and you make a request to a directory
with an index.cgi in it like
http://bong.com/~brian/aptest/
then you'll get a "501 Not Implemented" response, though if you call
http://bong.om/~brian/aptest/index
or
http://bong.om/~brian/aptest/index.cgi
it works fine. This looks and feels like a bug... anyone want to take a
look? (you can use the above URL for your own edification)

Yup, removing it fixes the problem. Anyone else see a reason for why
this chunk of code should exist?

It's not a bug. It's a feature. From mod_dir.c:
if (r->method_number != M_GET) return NOT_IMPLEMENTED;
Don't know *why* it's there, but presumably, there's a reason.
