[documentation] [Documentation task] Current .htaccess prevents sub-folders that do not have index.php from displaying

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?

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.
