<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Module mod_autoindex</H1>
This module is contained in the <CODE>mod_autoindex.c</CODE> file, and
is compiled in by default. It provides for automatic directory indexing.
<H2>Summary</H2>
The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:
<UL>
<LI>A file written by the user, typically called <CODE>index.html</CODE>.
The <A HREF="mod_dir.html#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</A> directive sets
the name of this file.
This is controlled by <A HREF="mod_dir.html"><CODE>mod_dir</CODE></A>.
<LI>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other directives
control the format of this listing. The <A HREF="#addicon">AddIcon</A>,
<A HREF="#addiconbyencoding">AddIconByEncoding</A> and
<A HREF="#addiconbytype">AddIconByType</A> 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 <CODE>mod_autoindex</CODE>.
</UL>
The two functions are separated so that you can completely remove
(or replace) automatic index generation should you want to.
<P>
If
<A
HREF="#fancyindexing"
><SAMP>FancyIndexing</SAMP></A>
is enabled, or the <SAMP>FancyIndexing</SAMP> keyword is present on the
<A
HREF="#indexoptions"
><SAMP>IndexOptions</SAMP></A>
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.
</P>
<P>
Note that when the display is sorted by "Size",
it's the <EM>actual</EM> 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 sets the description to display for a file, for

extension, partial filename, wild-card expression or full filename for files
to describe. <EM>String</EM> is enclosed in double quotes
(<CODE>"</CODE>). Example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>AddDescription "The planet Mars" /web/pics/mars.gif
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
The description field is 23 bytes wide. 7 more bytes may be
added if the directory is covered by an
<CODE>IndexOptions SuppressSize</CODE>, and 19 bytes may be
added if <CODE>IndexOptions SuppressLastModified</CODE> is
in effect. The widest this column can be is therefore 49 bytes.
<blockquote>
As of Apache 1.3.10, the
<a href="#indexoptions:descriptionwidth">DescriptionWidth</a>
<samp>IndexOptions</samp> keyword allows you to adjust this width
to any arbitrary size.
</blockquote>
<b>Caution:</b> Descriptive text defined with <samp>AddDescription</samp>
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.

<dd>
If this option is enabled, subdirectories in a FancyIndexed listing
will <i>always</i> 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 <samp>FoldersFirst</samp> is enabled,
subdirectory <samp>Zed</samp> will be listed before subdirectory
<samp>Beta</samp>, which will be listed before normal files
<samp>Gamma</samp> and <samp>Alpha</samp>.

Presence of this option, when used with IconWidth, will cause the server
to include <SAMP>HEIGHT</SAMP> and <SAMP>WIDTH</SAMP> attributes in the
<SAMP>IMG</SAMP> tag for the file icon. This allows browser to
precalculate the page layout without having to wait until all the

defaults to the standard height of the icons supplied with the Apache
software.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:iconsarelinks">IconsAreLinks</A>
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt IconsAreLinks} index option> -->
This makes the icons part of the anchor for the filename, for

<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt IconWidth} index option> -->
Presence of this option, when used with IconHeight, will cause the server
to include <SAMP>HEIGHT</SAMP> and <SAMP>WIDTH</SAMP> attributes in the

<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:namewidth">NameWidth=[<EM>n</EM> | *] (<EM>Apache 1.3.2 and later</EM>)</A>
<DD>
The NameWidth keyword allows you to specify the width of the
filename column in bytes. If the keyword value is '<SAMP>*</SAMP>',
then the column is automatically sized to the length of the longest
filename in the display.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:scanhtmltitles">ScanHTMLTitles</A>
<DD><!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt ScanHTMLTitles} index option> -->
This enables the extraction of the title from HTML documents for fancy
indexing. If the file does not have a description given by
<A HREF="#adddescription">AddDescription</A> then httpd will read the
document for the value of the TITLE tag. This is CPU and disk intensive.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</A>
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt SuppressColumnSorting} index option> -->
If specified, Apache will not make the column headings in a FancyIndexed
directory listing into links for sorting. The default behaviour is
for them to be links; selecting the column heading will sort the directory
listing by the values in that column.
<STRONG>Only available in Apache 1.3 and later.</STRONG>
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:suppressdescription">SuppressDescription</A>
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt SuppressDescription} index option> -->
This will suppress the file description in fancy indexing listings.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:suppresshtmlpreamble">SuppressHTMLPreamble</A>
(<EM>Apache 1.3 and later</EM>)
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt SuppressHTMLPreamble} index option> -->
If the directory actually contains a file specified by the
<A
HREF="#headername"
>HeaderName</A>
directive, the module usually includes the contents of the file
after a standard HTML preamble (<HTML>, <HEAD>, <EM>et
cetera</EM>). 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.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:suppresslastmodified">SuppressLastModified</A>
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt SuppressLastModified} index option> -->
This will suppress the display of the last modification date, in fancy
indexing listings.
<DT><A NAME="indexoptions:suppresssize">SuppressSize</A>
<DD>
<!--%plaintext <?INDEX {\tt SuppressSize} index option> -->
This will suppress the file size in fancy indexing listings.
</DL>
<P>
There are some noticeable differences in the behaviour of this
directive in recent (post-1.3.0) versions of Apache.
</P>
<DL>
<DT>Apache 1.3.2 and earlier:</DT>
<DD>
<P>
The default is that no options are enabled. If multiple IndexOptions
could apply to a directory, then the most specific one is taken complete;
the options are not merged. For example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><pre>
<Directory /web/docs>
IndexOptions FancyIndexing
</Directory>
<Directory /web/docs/spec>
IndexOptions ScanHTMLTitles
</Directory>
</pre></BLOCKQUOTE>
then only <CODE>ScanHTMLTitles</CODE> will be set for the /web/docs/spec
directory.
</P>
</DD>
<DT>Apache 1.3.3 and later:</DT>
<DD>
<P>
Apache 1.3.3 introduced some significant changes in the handling of
<SAMP>IndexOptions</SAMP> directives. In particular,
</P>
<UL>
<LI>Multiple <SAMP>IndexOptions</SAMP> directives for a single
directory are now merged together. The result of the example above
will now be the equivalent of
<CODE>IndexOptions FancyIndexing ScanHTMLTitles</CODE>.
</LI>
<LI>The addition of the incremental syntax (<EM>i.e.</EM>, prefixing
keywords with '+' or '-').
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
Whenever a '+' or '-' prefixed keyword is encountered, it is applied
to the current <SAMP>IndexOptions</SAMP> 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:
</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks FancyIndexing
<BR>
IndexOptions +SuppressSize
<BR>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
The net effect is equivalent to
<CODE>IndexOptions FancyIndexing +SuppressSize</CODE>, because
the unprefixed <CODE>FancyIndexing</CODE> discarded the incremental
keywords before it, but allowed them to start accumulating again
afterward.
</P>
<P>
To unconditionally set the <CODE>IndexOptions</CODE> for a
particular directory, clearing the inherited settings, specify
keywords without either '+' or '-' prefixes.
