Apache "Option -Indexes" and 404 Not Found Options

[mipadi]

On my website, I have directory listings disabled via an "Options -Indexes" line in my .htaccess file. However, requests for directories that do not have an index.html file return 403 Forbidden. Is there a way to have it return 404 Not Found instead?

Do you specifically need a 404 response? If not, you could just send 403 errors to a custom 404 error document.
