What is the ResourceAccessor#list() method used for?

General Discussion

Hello; I would like to know what the ResourceAccessor#list(String, String, boolean, boolean, boolean) method is used for.

I am curious because I have written a URLResourceAccessor. I am unsure whether to try to delegate or emulate this method or simply return null, since as a general rule a URL can’t “list” its contents.

Best,

Laird

I think it is only used with includeAll, so if you cannot list all it’s contents you won’t be able to use includeAll. Otherwise it should be fine to return null.
