If the FancyIndexing + option is given with the IndexOptions directive, the column headers are links that control the order of the display. If you select a header link, the listing will be regenerated, sorted by the values in that column. Selecting the same header repeatedly toggles between ascending and descending - order.

Note that when the display is sorted by "Size", it's the actual size of the files that's used, not the displayed value - so a 1010-byte file will always be displayed before a 1011-byte file (if in ascending order) even though they both are shown as "1K".

- + +
This enables the extraction of the title from HTML documents for fancy indexing. If the file does not have a description given by AddDescription then httpd will read the document for the value of the TITLE tag. This is CPU and disk intensive.

SuppressColumnSorting + +
+SuppressColumnSorting (Apache 1.3 and later)
-
- + +
If specified, Apache will not make the column headings in a FancyIndexed directory listing into links for sorting. The default behavior is for them to be links; selecting the column heading will sort the directory listing by the values in that column. Prior to Apache 2.0.23, this also disabled parsing the Query Arguments for the sort - string. That behavior is now controlled by IndexOptions + string. That behavior is now controlled by IndexOptions IgnoreClient in Apache 2.0.23.
-
SuppressDescription
+ +
+SuppressDescription +
-
- + +
This will suppress the file description in fancy indexing listings. By default, no file descriptions are defined, and so the use of this option will regain 23 characters of screen - space to use for something else.

The VersionSort keyword causes files containing version numbers to sort in a natural way. Strings are sorted as usual, except that substrings of digits in the name and description are compared according to their numeric value. For example: -

Whenever a '+' or '-' prefixed keyword is encountered, it - is applied to the current IndexOptions + is applied to the current IndexOptions settings (which may have been inherited from an upper-level directory). However, whenever an unprefixed keyword is processed, it clears all inherited options and any incremental settings encountered so far. Consider the following example: -

- IndexOptions +SuppressSize
-
-
+
+ + + + +
IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks + FancyIndexing

The IndexOrderDefault directive is used + in combination with the FancyIndexing index option. By default, fancyindexed directory listings are displayed in ascending order by filename; the - IndexOrderDefault allows you to change this - initial display order.

- -

IndexOrderDefault takes two arguments. The - first must be either Ascending or - Descending, indicating the direction of the sort. - The second argument must be one of the keywords - Name, Date, Size, or - Description, and identifies the primary key. The - secondary key is always the ascending filename.

The index of a directory can come from one of two + sources:

+ +
    +
  • A file written by the user, typically called + index.html. The DirectoryIndex directive sets the + name of this file. This is controlled by + mod_dir.
  • + +
  • Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other + directives control the format of this listing. The AddIcon, AddIconByEncoding and + AddIconByType are + used to set a list of icons to display for various file types; + for each file listed, the first icon listed that matches the + file is displayed. These are controlled by + mod_autoindex.
  • +
+

The two functions are separated so that you can completely + remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want + to.

+ +

Automatic index generation is enabled with using + Options +Indexes. See the + Options directive for + more details.

+ +

If the FancyIndexing + option is given with the IndexOptions directive, + the column headers are links that control the order of the + display. If you select a header link, the listing will be + regenerated, sorted by the values in that column. Selecting the + same header repeatedly toggles between ascending and descending + order. These column header links are suppressed with + IndexOptions directive's + SuppressColumnSorting option.

+ +

Note that when the display is sorted by "Size", it's the + actual size of the files that's used, not the + displayed value - so a 1010-byte file will always be displayed + before a 1011-byte file (if in ascending order) even though + they both are shown as "1K".

+
+ +
Autoindex Request Query Arguments + +

Apache 2.0.23 reorganized the Query Arguments for Column + Sorting, and introduced an entire group of new query options. + To effectively eliminate all client control over the output, + the IndexOptions + IgnoreClient option was introduced.

+ +

The column sorting headers themselves are self-referencing + hyperlinks that add the sort query options shown below. Any + option below may be added to any request for the directory + resource.

+ +
    +
  • C=N sorts the directory by file name
  • + +
  • C=M sorts the directory by last-modified + date, then file name
  • + +
  • C=S sorts the directory by size, then file + name
  • + +
  • C=D sorts the directory by description, then + file name
    +  
  • + +
  • O=A sorts the listing in Ascending + Order
  • + +
  • O=D sorts the listing in Descending + Order
    +  
  • + +
  • F=0 formats the listing as a simple list + (not FancyIndexed)
  • + +
  • F=1 formats the listing as a FancyIndexed + list
  • + +
  • F=2 formats the listing as an HTMLTable + FancyIndexed list
    +  
  • + +
  • V=0 disables version sorting
  • + +
  • V=1 enables version sorting
    +  
  • + +
  • P=pattern lists only files matching + the given pattern
  • +
+ +

Note that the 'P'attern query argument is tested + after the usual IndexIgnore directives are processed, + and all file names are still subjected to the same criteria as + any other autoindex listing. The Query Arguments parser in + mod_autoindex will stop abruptly when an unrecognized option is + encountered. The Query Arguments must be well formed, according + to the table above.

+ +

The simple example below, which can be clipped and saved in + a header.html file, illustrates these query options. Note that + the unknown "X" argument, for the submit button, is listed last + to assure the arguments are all parsed before mod_autoindex + encounters the X=Go input.

+ + +AddAlt +Alternate text to display for a file, instead of an +icon selected by filename +AddAlt string file [file] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

AddAlt provides the alternate text to + display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. + File is a file extension, partial filename, wild-card + expression or full filename for files to describe. + String is enclosed in double quotes ("). + This alternate text is displayed if the client is image-incapable, + has image loading disabled, or fails to retrieve the icon.

+ +

Examples:

+ + AddAlt "PDF" *.pdf
+ AddAlt "Compressed" *.gz *.zip *.Z +
+
+
+ + +AddAltByEncoding +Alternate text to display for a file instead of an icon +selected by MIME-encoding +AddAltByEncoding string MIME-encoding +[MIME-encoding] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

AddAltByEncoding provides the alternate + text to display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. + MIME-encoding is a valid content-encoding, such as + x-compress. String is enclosed in double + quotes ("). This alternate text is displayed if the + client is image-incapable, has image loading disabled, or fails to + retrieve the icon.

+ +

Example:

+ + AddAltByEncoding "gzip" x-gzip + +
+
+ + +AddAltByType +Alternate text to display for a file, instead of an +icon selected by MIME content-type +AddAltByType string + MIME-type [MIME-type] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

AddAltByType sets the alternate text to + display for a file, instead of an icon, for FancyIndexing. + MIME-type is a valid content-type, such as + text/html. String is enclosed in double + quotes ("). This alternate text is displayed if the + client is image-incapable, has image loading disabled, or fails to + retrieve the icon.

+ +

Example:

+ + AddAltByType "TXT" text/plain + +
+
+ + +AddDescription +AddDescription + string file [file] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

This sets the description to display for a file, for + FancyIndexing. + File is a file extension, partial filename, wild-card + expression or full filename for files to describe. + String is enclosed in double quotes ("). + Example:

+ +AddDescription "The planet Mars" + /web/pics/mars.gif + +

The typical, default description field is 23 bytes wide. 6 + more bytes are added by the + IndexOptions SuppressIcon option, 7 bytes are + added by the IndexOptions SuppressSize + option, and 19 bytes are added by the + IndexOptions SuppressLastModified option. + Therefore, the widest default the description column is ever + assigned is 55 bytes.

+ +

See the DescriptionWidth + IndexOptions keyword + for details on overriding the size of this column, or allowing + descriptions of unlimited length.

+ +Caution

Descriptive text defined with + AddDescription may contain HTML markup, such as + tags and character entities. If the width of the description + column should happen to truncate a tagged element (such as + cutting off the end of a bolded phrase), the results may + affect the rest of the directory listing.

+
+
+
+ + +AddIcon +Icon to display for a file selected by name +AddIcon icon + name [name] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

This sets the icon to display next to a file ending in + name for FancyIndexing. + Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, + or of the format (alttext,url) where + alttext is the text tag given for an icon for + non-graphical browsers.

+ +

Name is either ^^DIRECTORY^^ for directories, + ^^BLANKICON^^ for blank lines (to format the list correctly), a + file extension, a wildcard expression, a partial filename or a + complete filename. Examples:

+ + + AddIcon (IMG,/icons/image.xbm) .gif .jpg .xbm
+ AddIcon /icons/dir.xbm ^^DIRECTORY^^
+ AddIcon /icons/backup.xbm *~ +
+ +

AddIconByType + should be used in preference to AddIcon, + when possible.

+
+
+ + +AddIconByEncoding +Icon to display next to files selected by MIME +content-encoding +AddIconByEncoding + icon MIME-encoding [MIME-encoding] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

This sets the icon to display next to files with FancyIndexing. + Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, + or of the format (alttext,url) where + alttext is the text tag given for an icon for + non-graphical browsers.

+ +

Mime-encoding is a wildcard expression matching + required the content-encoding. Examples:

+ +AddIconByEncoding /icons/compress.xbm x-compress +
+
+ + +AddIconByType +Icon to display next to files selected by MIME +content-type +AddIconByType + icon MIME-type [MIME-type] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

This sets the icon to display next to files of type + MIME-type for FancyIndexing. + Icon is either a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon, + or of the format (alttext,url) where + alttext is the text tag given for an icon for + non-graphical browsers.

+ +

Mime-type is a wildcard expression matching + required the mime types. Examples:

+ +AddIconByType (IMG,/icons/image.xbm) image/* +
+
+ + +DefaultIcon +Icon to display for files when no specific icon is +configured +DefaultIcon url-path +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The DefaultIcon directive sets the icon + to display for files when no specific icon is known, for FancyIndexing. + Url is a (%-escaped) relative URL to the icon. + Examples:

+DefaultIcon /icon/unknown.xbm +
+
+ + +HeaderName +Name of the file that will be inserted at the top +of the index listing +HeaderName filename +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The HeaderName directive sets the name + of the file that will be inserted at the top of the index + listing. Filename is the name of the file to include.

+ + +

Both HeaderName and ReadmeName now treat + Filename as a URI path relative to the one used to + access the directory being indexed. Filename must + resolve to a document with a major content type of + "text/*" (e.g., text/html, + text/plain, etc.). This means that + filename may refer to a CGI script if the script's + actual file type (as opposed to its output) is marked as + text/html such as with a directive like:

+ + AddType text/html .cgi + +

Content negotiation + will be performed if the MultiViews Option is enabled. If + filename resolves to a static text/html + document (not a CGI script) and the Includes + option is enabled, the file + will be processed for server-side includes (see the + mod_include documentation).

+
+ +

If the file specified by HeaderName contains + the beginnings of an HTML document (<HTML>, <HEAD>, + etc) then you will probably want to set IndexOptions + +SuppressHTMLPreamble, so that these tags are not + repeated.

+
+
+ + +IndexIgnore +Adds to the list of files to hide when listing +a directory +IndexIgnore file [file] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The IndexIgnore directive adds to the + list of files to hide when listing a directory. File is a + file extension, partial filename, wildcard expression or full + filename for files to ignore. Multiple IndexIgnore directives add + to the list, rather than the replacing the list of ignored + files. By default, the list contains + `.'. Example:

+ +IndexIgnore README .htaccess *~ +
+
+ + +IndexOptions +Various configuration settings for directory +indexing +IndexOptions [+|-]option [[+|-]option] ... +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The IndexOptions directive specifies the + behavior of the directory indexing. Option can be one + of

+ +
+
DescriptionWidth=[n + | *] (Apache 1.3.10 or 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
The DescriptionWidth keyword allows you to + specify the width of the description column in + characters.
+ +
-DescriptionWidth (or unset) allows + mod_autoindex to calculate the best width.
+ +
DescriptionWidth=n fixes the column width to + n bytes wide.
+ +
DescriptionWidth=* grows the column to the + width necessary to accommodate the longest description + string.
+ +
See the section on AddDescription for dangers + inherent in truncating descriptions.
+ +
FancyIndexing
+ +
+ This turns on fancy indexing of directories.
+ +
FoldersFirst (Apache + 1.3.10 or 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
If this option is enabled, subdirectory listings will + always appear first, followed by normal files in the + directory. The listing is basically broken into two + components, the files and the subdirectories, and each is + sorted separately and then displayed subdirectories-first. + For instance, if the sort order is descending by name, and + FoldersFirst is enabled, subdirectory + Zed will be listed before subdirectory + Beta, which will be listed before normal files + Gamma and Alpha. This option + only has an effect if FancyIndexing + is also enabled.
+ +
HTMLTable (Experimental, + Apache 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
+ This experimental option with FancyIndexing constructs a + simple table for the fancy directory listing. Note this will + confuse older browsers. It is particularly necessary if file + names or description text will alternate between + left-to-right and right-to-left reading order, as can happen + on WinNT or other utf-8 enabled platforms.
+ +
IconsAreLinks
+ +
+ This makes the icons part of the anchor for the filename, for + fancy indexing.
+ +
IconHeight[=pixels] + (Apache 1.3 and later)
+ +
+ Presence of this option, when used with IconWidth, will cause + the server to include HEIGHT and + WIDTH attributes in the IMG tag for + the file icon. This allows browser to precalculate the page + layout without having to wait until all the images have been + loaded. If no value is given for the option, it defaults to + the standard height of the icons supplied with the Apache + software.
+ +
IconWidth[=pixels] (Apache + 1.3 and later)
+ +
+ Presence of this option, when used with IconHeight, will + cause the server to include HEIGHT and + WIDTH attributes in the IMG tag for + the file icon. This allows browser to precalculate the page + layout without having to wait until all the images have been + loaded. If no value is given for the option, it defaults to + the standard width of the icons supplied with the Apache + software.
+ +
IgnoreClient
+ +
+ This option causes mod_autoindex to ignore all query + variables from the client, including sort order (implies + SuppressColumnSorting.)
+ +
NameWidth=[n | *] + (Apache 1.3.2 and later)
+ +
The NameWidth keyword allows you to specify the width of + the filename column in bytes.
+ +
-NameWidth (or unset) allows mod_autoindex + to calculate the best width.
+ +
NameWidth=n fixes the column width to n + bytes wide.
+ +
NameWidth=* grows the column to the + necessary width.
+ +
ScanHTMLTitles
+ +
+ This enables the extraction of the title from HTML documents + for fancy indexing. If the file does not have a description + given by AddDescription then + httpd will read the document for the value of the TITLE tag. + This is CPU and disk intensive.
+ +
SuppressColumnSorting + (Apache 1.3 and later)
+ +
+ If specified, Apache will not make the column headings in a + FancyIndexed directory listing into links for sorting. The + default behavior is for them to be links; selecting the + column heading will sort the directory listing by the values + in that column. Prior to Apache 2.0.23, this also + disabled parsing the Query Arguments for the sort + string. That behavior is now controlled by IndexOptions + IgnoreClient in Apache 2.0.23.
+ +
SuppressDescription
+ +
+ This will suppress the file description in fancy indexing + listings. By default, no file descriptions are defined, and + so the use of this option will regain 23 characters of screen + space to use for something else. See AddDescription for + information about setting the file description. See also the + DescriptionWidth + index option to limit the size of the description + column.
+ +
SuppressHTMLPreamble + (Apache 1.3 and later)
+ +
+ If the directory actually contains a file specified by the + HeaderName + directive, the module usually includes the contents of the file + after a standard HTML preamble (<HTML>, <HEAD>, + et cetera). The SuppressHTMLPreamble option disables + this behaviour, causing the module to start the display with the + header file contents. The header file must contain appropriate + HTML instructions in this case. If there is no header file, the + preamble is generated as usual.
+ +
SuppressIcon (Apache + 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
+ This will suppress the icon in fancy indexing listings. + Combining both SuppressIcon and + SuppressRules yields proper HTML 3.2 output, which + by the final specification prohibits IMG and HR tags from the + PRE block (used to format FancyIndexed listings.)
+ +
SuppressLastModified
+ +
+ This will suppress the display of the last modification date, + in fancy indexing listings.
+ +
SuppressRules + (Apache 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
+ This will suppress the horizontal rule lines (HR tags) in + directory listings. Combining both SuppressIcon and + SuppressRules yeilds proper HTML 3.2 output, which + by the final specification prohibits IMG and HR tags from the + PRE block (used to format FancyIndexed listings.)
+ +
SuppressSize
+ +
+ This will suppress the file size in fancy indexing + listings.
+ +
TrackModified (Apache + 1.3.15 or 2.0.23 and later)
+ +
+ This returns the Last-Modified and ETag values for the listed + directory in the HTTP header. It is only valid if the + operating system and file system return appropriate stat() + results. Some Unix systems do so, as do OS2's JFS and Win32's + NTFS volumes. OS2 and Win32 FAT volumes, for example, do not. + Once this feature is enabled, the client or proxy can track + changes to the list of files when they perform a HEAD + request. Note some operating systems correctly track new and + removed files, but do not track changes for sizes or dates of + the files within the directory. Changes to the size + or date stamp of an existing file will not update the + Last-Modified header on all Unix platforms. If this + is a concern, leave this option disabled.
+ +
VersionSort (Apache 2.0a3 + and later)
+ +
+ The VersionSort keyword causes files containing version + numbers to sort in a natural way. Strings are sorted as + usual, except that substrings of digits in the name and + description are compared according to their numeric value. + For example: + + +foo-1.7
+foo-1.7.2
+foo-1.7.12
+foo-1.8.2
+foo-1.8.2a
+foo-1.12
+
+ If the number starts with a zero, then it is considered to + be a fraction: + + +foo-1.001
+foo-1.002
+foo-1.030
+foo-1.04 +
+
+ +
+

Incremental IndexOptions

+
+ +
+ Apache 1.3.3 introduced some significant changes in the + handling of IndexOptions directives. In + particular,
+
+ + +
    +
  • Multiple IndexOptions directives for a + single directory are now merged together. The result of + the example above will now be the equivalent of + IndexOptions FancyIndexing ScanHTMLTitles.
  • + +
  • The addition of the incremental syntax + (i.e., prefixing keywords with '+' or '-').
  • +
+
+ Whenever a '+' or '-' prefixed keyword is encountered, it + is applied to the current IndexOptions + settings (which may have been inherited from an upper-level + directory). However, whenever an unprefixed keyword is + processed, it clears all inherited options and any + incremental settings encountered so far. Consider the + following example: + +IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks + FancyIndexing
+ IndexOptions +SuppressSize
+
+ The net effect is equivalent to + IndexOptions FancyIndexing +SuppressSize, + because the unprefixed FancyIndexing discarded + the incremental keywords before it, but allowed them to + start accumulating again afterward.
+
+ To unconditionally set the IndexOptions for a + particular directory, clearing the inherited settings, + specify keywords without any '+' or '-' prefixes. +
+

+ + +IndexOrderDefault +Sets the default ordering of the directory index +IndexOrderDefault +Ascending|Descending Name|Date|Size|Description +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The IndexOrderDefault directive is used + in combination with the FancyIndexing + index option. By default, fancyindexed directory listings are + displayed in ascending order by filename; the + IndexOrderDefault allows you to change this initial + display order.

+ +

IndexOrderDefault takes two + arguments. The first must be either Ascending or + Descending, indicating the direction of the sort. + The second argument must be one of the keywords Name, + Date, Size, or Description, + and identifies the primary key. The secondary key is + always the ascending filename.

+ +

You can force a directory listing to only be displayed in a + particular order by combining this directive with the SuppressColumnSorting + index option; this will prevent the client from requesting the + directory listing in a different order.

+
+
+ + +ReadmeName +ReadmeName filename +server configvirtual host +directory.htaccess + +Indexes + + +

The ReadmeName directive sets the name + of the file that will be appended to the end of the index + listing. Filename is the name of the file to include, and + is taken to be relative to the location being indexed.

+ +

See also HeaderName, where this behavior + is described in greater detail.
