It is common when using raw directory listings to place a README file so users browsing have an idea what to do or what the purpose of the directory is. Ever since the move to woodpecker, however, the apache setup there masks README files from appearing in the directory listing, despite them being present. This doesn't affect files named 'readme', only the uppercase variants. The referenced URL has a symlink from 'readme' to 'README', but notice in the listing that README is not present, yet if a direct URL is typed to it, it'll appear. Also, any chance the column width for directory listings can be increased?

Ug, I duped my own bug. I guess I needed more coffee.
isnt this just an option in the apache config files ? just noticed this broke my arm webspace as well :/
echo "ReadmeName foobar.html" >> .htaccess
other stuff you might like: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html
too bad that doesnt work ;) besides, even if it did work, that's a workaround, not a fix ...
I noticed that it has to be a .html file as opposed to just something like README for it to work.
looks like IndexIgnore setting ... the default includes 'README*' plz2fix
fixed now.
