Current .htaccess is like this

DirectoryIndex index.php

Needs to be changed to at least this

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Although, all other types of index files will also be affected -- index.shtml, index.pl etc. A note should be added to the docs.

Still exists in current CVS. I will submit a patch.

Changing this to be a documentation issue. Need to be clear that this will disable any sub-folders that are non-Drupal.

My .htaccess from Drupal 4.7 has just index.php. Is this related to this method post error? http://drupal.org/node/2084

How should it be reported in the docs? Not entirely sure I understand what this does. Every subfolder that doesn't have an index.php file cannot be accessed at all?

It is somewhat related but not quite. I'm OK with such patch. Probably not a documentation issue but a Drupal core issue.

In that case, it would appear to be two issues, patch and documentation update. A patch was already submitted, but ages ago, but apparently didn't get applied. If it *does* get applied, in that case, docs must be updated, which is another question, when things get changed around in drupal, those little things, how do the docs people know about it?
