FYI: The Debian Boa package, a (very) lightweight web server, does this as well. Version 0.93.16.1-1, Debian 2.2 (unstable/potato). Due to boa's limited configurability I think the best option is to disable the redirect. The relavent line in /etc/boa/boa.conf is #Alias /doc /usr/doc The maintainer will be notified via Debian bug tracking. On Mon, Apr 05, 1999 at 07:53:35PM +0300, Andrei D.

When I notified maintainer of Debian Apache package about this issue he answered that this alias is required in every Debian packaged web server by Debian packaging policy and if I want to report it as a bug I should change first the policy.
