If you guys havent noticed accessing the /html section off

root.cern.ch/root/

Allows access to the ROOT system of this site.

Dunno if it was on purpose but you’re documents are open and leaking…

root.cern.ch/root/html/

Hi tristar,
could you be more precise?
I’m developing ROOT-Apache module at
carrot.cern.ch/ and also allow dirctory listing at
carrot.cern.ch/CarrotExamples/
What harm might be done when “documents are open and leaking”?

Thanks. Regards. Valeriy

Hi,

the “open” directory contains the ROOT documentation files. There is no problem for this directory to show all its files and it allows for people to easily get a local copy of a file if needed.

Cheers, Fons.
