What is the replacement for enable_directory_listing == "no"?

[sebhub]

In Mongoose 6, there was an enable_directory_listing member in struct mg_serve_http_opts which could be set to "no" to prevent directory listings by mg_serve_http(). What can be done in Mongoose 7 to get a similar functionality?

[cpq]

It could be enabled / disabled via the build flag, MG_ENABLE_DIRLIST=0 or MG_ENABLE_DIRLIST=1
There is no corresponding runtime option.

Resurrecting this option would be quite easy and it would restore a feature available in Mongoose 6. The build flag is not a replacement since it disables the directory listing for all directories.

That is another good point that it disables dir listing globally, versus letting the developer do it on a situation by situation basis.

[linuxguy123]

I think it was a big mistake to remove the run time option to not list the dir.

It is not reasonable to require the user to rebuild the library with a different build parameter to achieve this. This means that the developer's functionality can be accidentally over ridden by a user or administrator installing the wrong version of the Mongoose package.
