From 1d10f3eac2248ca0af65eeb6414d3ef841419761 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Changed list_directory() somewhat.  It is now only called when there
 is no index.htm[l] file, and when it is called, it also spits out the
 headers.  When an index.htm[l] file is present, the regular (file access)
 path is followed.  Also, when the guessed content-type matches text/*, open
 the file in text mode; otherwise in binary mode.
