Description aditsu CLA 2011-06-09 13:42:44 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

When listing the contents of a directory, every item is added like this:

<TD><A HREF="foo/bar">bar&nbsp;</TD>

Note the absence of a "</A>".
The code where this is done seems to be Resource.getListHTML. There is only one </A>, for the parent directory.
This problem appears in both jetty 6.1.26 and 7.4.2. The result is that it breaks some programs that parse the directory listing.

Reproducible: Always
