Good to know, thanks.

Ah, yes, I oversimplified.  What I essentially meant was, a) all read-
write access doesn't require a .listing, b) the majority of read-only
access also works without a .listing, and c) even if you were to make-
archive on an HTTP URL, you'd be doing it via DAV, hence no .listing.

i.e. I was basically trying to say 'this is why it's not the default,
even though a single use case -- read-only non-DAV HTTP -- is broke
without it'.
