[Xitami] directory listing locationbar

[Michael diLorenzo]

Being the php guy that I am, may I suggest that you write a php script  
that takes the gif that you want to display, copies it to someting else  
(temp.gif, perhaps), displays that, and then deletes the copy.  Since php  
is compiled before the page is delivered, all you see for source code is a  
reference to temp.gif, which won't exist by the time the visitor tries to  
find it.  You won't see any php script in the final web output, and so the  
visitor won't know the real name of the picture he's looking at.

It sounds from your question that you might also be wondering about how to  
supress directory listings in Xitami itself.  That is a setting in  
xitami.cfg.  Set dirlist equal to zero, and directory listings won't be  
displayed for any directory.  Or, put an index.html file in your pictures  
directory containing a blank page.
