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

mod_dirlisting is one of the modules which is loaded by default and don'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 a external generator for directory listings if you use
mod_indexfile. ::

index-file.names = ( "/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 recommend.

Options =======

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

Default: disabled

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

Default: enabled

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.

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

If you 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: disabled

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

Default: disabled

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

Default: disabled

dir-listing.hide-header-file
