Description
For some use cases it may be useful to retrieve an entire directory tree as an archive. Perhaps the wapi call would look like:
GET /uri/$DIRCAP?t=archive&archive_format=tgz
-to retrieve a gzipped tarball.
Issues:
Should the action parameter be t= or some other name such as output= ?
How will the browser name this file?
What if the directory structure contains loops?
What if the full directory tree is huge?
