 * Hi,
 * For some reasons directory browsing is not working on my webhost.
    The $_REQUEST
   superglobal is not working inside the installation folder of WordPress. To fix
   the problem, a bit of code is placed at the top of all File Away classes that
   need information from the query string:
 *     ```
       if(empty($_REQUEST))
       {
       	list($junkpath, $qs) = explode("?", $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 2);
       	unset($junkpath);
       	parse_str($qs, $query_string);
       	$_REQUEST = $_REQUEST+$query_string;
       	$_GET = $_GET+$query_string;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks for solving the problem!

 * Hi, how did you fix this problem? I have the same problem. All my subdirectories
   are correctly listed on my page but when I click any of them the URL changes 
   but it doesn’t show the directory content.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * Antepri, what you’re describing is not the same thing as brouwer. I would need
   a new ticket and very extensive details from you to figure out what your issue
   is. Maybe a link to the page in question.
