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?
