I don't need anyone browsing around in my image directory. I think
that's the only thing +Indexes would mean for me. I thought that was
a really common config though.
A long time ago I read that this would be a good apache config to add:
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
so I had it in there until it combined with the new Gentoo apache2
layout to 403 https pages. I don't want to expose my system but
removing that block is the only way to make https work. Am I OK
without it considering the defaults quoted above, or do I need
something like it for security?
