Hi Tim -

What about modifying the BaseX web.xml in $basex/webapp/WEB-INF? That was you'd be disabling in Jetty instead of Apache. To be honest I have no idea if this will work, but:

<servlet>

  <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>

  <servlet-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>

  <init-param>

    <param-name>dirAllowed</param-name>

    <param-value>false</param-value>

  </init-param>

</servlet>

 or some variation thereof? I cribbed this from stackoverflow, naturally (and here's where I found it: [1])

Hope that's helpful, apologies if it's only noise.

Best,

Bridger

With apologies for the not-strictly-BaseX question--but I'm running BaseX through a reverse proxy with Apache (and Let's Encrypt), and I can't figure out how to disable directory listing for the BaseX webapp/static directory. I've tried editing the apache2 conf files in the standard ways. Hoping someone here has a quick solution to share.

Thanks in advance,

Tim
