[PATCH 1/1] lighttpd: Fix trailing slash on files in mod_dirlisting

[fred.w.bacon]

From: Fred Bacon <bacon@aerodyne.com>

Fixes [YOCTO #16128]

Backport of upstream bug fix from lighttpd-1.4.75. Version 1.4.74 introduced a bug that
would append a trailing slash to files in a directory listing. When the user attempts to
download one of these files, the web browser could not save the file with a trailing
slash. As a consequence, every web browser tested would generate a random character string
for the saved file name.

Current version of lighttpd on master is 1.4.82, so this does not apply. Did you
send this for a specific branch of openembedded-core? If so, you need to include
the branch name in the patch subject, as explained here:
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/contributor-guide/submit-changes.html#submitting-changes-to-stable-release-branches
