  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DirListingDisable is being reported     *
  *                      as an invalid directive even though it  *
  *                      works as expected.                      *

  When using the DirListingDisable directive, the following error
  is being reported: "The configuration directive is not valid:
  dirlistingdisable".
  The directive still works as expected despite the error.
  

Problem conclusion

• IBM Caching Proxy was fixed to recognize DirListingDisable as
  a valid configuration directive.
  
  The fix is tentatively targeted for the following IBM Caching
  Proxy fixpacks:
  - 9.0.5.3
  - 8.5.5.17
  

Temporary fix

• Ignore the error message stating that DirListingDisable is not
  valid. It still works as intended despite the error.
