Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: IBM HTTP Server users on z/OS serving files  *
  * that are already in ASCII and don't need to be translated to *
  * EBCDIC, and who also need to use mod_autoindex to view       *
  * directory contents.                                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Cannot configure mod_charset_lite to    *
  * translate the output from mod_autoindex without also         *
  * translating files.                                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this fix on z/OS if mod_autoindex      *
  * output needs to be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII, but not  *
  * files.                                                       *

Problem conclusion

• A new directive, CharsetAutoindex, was added that optionally
  allows controlling translation of mod_autoindex output
  independently of file translation.  This applies to z/OS only,
  for 6.1.0.25 and 7.0.0.5 and later.
  
  Additionally, the keywords Charset and Type for the IndexOptions
  directive of mod_autoindex were backported to IHS 6.0.2.35
  and IHS 6.1.0.25.  This applies to those releases on all
  platforms.  The keywords were already supported on IHS 7.0.
  This was required to allow setting the proper charset in
  the Content-Type header after translating the mod_autoindex
  output.
  
  This fix is targeted for IHS fixpacks:
   6.0.2.35
   6.1.0.25
   7.0.0.5
