[mod_python] Apache directory listing

Arrgghh, mistook mime type for handler.

Trying again, although not sure this will work, but might be able to say:

  req.handler = "httpd/unix-directory"
  return apache.DECLINED

The reason this might not work is that mod_python registers itself as
a middle handler as does the autoindex module. Because the autoindex
module is inbuilt, it probably gets processed prior to mod_python
handler so too late to do the above.

Thus, your only choice would be to provide a fixuphandler which undoes
the SetHandler just for the request against the directory and triggers
autoindex instead. Ie.,

  def fixuphandler(req):
    if req.content_type = "httpd/x-directory":
      req.handler = "httpd/unix-directory"
    return apache.OK

Enable this using appropriate PythonFixupHandler directive.
