great idea... oops:
GET /./ HTTP/1.0

If you're worried
about people seeing your directories, you should turn off the feature
entirely.
This sounds much better. Always choose a "deny everything that is not 
explicitly allowed" policy.

You can fix it by changing the line to:
<LocationMatch "^/*$>

On the other hand, if youc an guess the name of any directory without
it's own index.html file, you'll still get a listing.  If you're worried
about people seeing your directories, you should turn off the feature
entirely.

It's true if you made a request like

GET / HTTP/1.0

Not true if you type:

GET // HTTP/1.0
