Description

In Solr 1.4.1, going to the path solr/admin/file I see an XML-formatted listing of the conf directory, like:

<response>
<lst name="responseHeader"><int name="status">0</int><int name="QTime">1</int></lst>
<lst name="files">
  <lst name="elevate.xml"><long name="size">1274</long><date name="modified">2011-03-06T20:42:54Z</date></lst>
  ...
</lst>
</response>

I can list the xslt sub-dir using solr/admin/files?file=/xslt

In Solr 3.1.0, both of these fail with a 500 error:

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /solr/admin/file/. Reason:

    did not find a CONTENT object

java.io.IOException: did not find a CONTENT object

Looking at the code in class ShowFileRequestHandler, it seem like 3.1.0 should still handle directory listings if not file name is given, or if the file is a directory, so I am filing this as a bug.
