Goal

This note describes how to enable or disable access to all files in a directory served by the Oracle  HTTP Server. When enabled, clients can use a URL that points at a directory (with a trailing / character) and review the contents of the directory. When disabled, attempts to access files in the directory receive a HTTP 403 response.

The versions listed above are for the Oracle HTTP Server. To see if these versions apply to your version of Oracle Application Server, please see <Note 260449.1>. See especially: Intended Version Lookup
