Directory Listings ==================

Module: mod_dirlisting

Description ===========

mod_dirlisting is one of the modules that is loaded by default and doesn't have to
be specified on server.modules to work.

A directory listing is generated if a directory is requested and no index-file
was found in that directory.

To enable directory listings globally: ::

dir-listing.activate = "enable"

If you need it only for a directory, use conditionals: ::

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/download($|/)" {
    dir-listing.activate = "enable" 
  }

You can also use an external generator for directory listings if you use
mod_indexfile. ::

index-file.names = ( "/dir-generator.php" )

The above is obsolute. Replace it with. ::

server.indexfiles = ( "/dir-generator.php" )

If a directory is requested, the dir-generator.php is called instead which can
take the REQUEST_URI to see which directory was requested.

For large folders this is highly recommended.

Options =======

dir-listing.activate
enables virtual directory listings if a directory is requested no
index-file was found.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.hide-dotfiles
if enabled, does not list hidden files in directory listings generated
by the dir-listing option.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.external-css
path to an external css stylesheet for the directory listing.

dir-listing.exclude
list of regular expressions. Files that match any of the specified regular
expressions will be excluded from directory listings.

Use inside of conditionals was broken before 1.4.14. See http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/1260.

dir-listing.encoding
set a encoding for the generated directory listing.

If your file-system is not using ASCII you have to set the encoding of
  the filenames as they are put into the HTML listing AS IS (with XML
  encoding).

Example: ::

dir-listing.encoding = "utf-8"

dir-listing.show-readme
show the contents of the README.txt file after the directory listing.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.hide-readme-file
hide README.txt files from the directory listing.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.show-header
show the contents of the HEADER.txt file before the directory listing.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.hide-header-file
hide HEADER.txt files from the directory listing.

Default value: disable

dir-listing.set-footer
displays a string in the footer of a listing page.

Default value: "<PACKAGE_NAME>/<PACKAGE_VERSION>" ie. "lighttpd/1.4.18"
