Dirlist module

Directory listing generation

Overview
The dirlist module is used by the webserver to generate HTML directory listings of directories on the web-server filesystem. If a directory is requested, and it does not contain a suitable index file, this module will generate a listing of all the files located in that directory. (The dirlist module ignores UNIX hidden files which start with a period ".".) If this module is disabled, then a request for a directory not containing a suitable index file will generate a HTTP return code of 403 Forbidden.

Configuration
The htaccess module can be used to configure the output format, e.g. setting which files not to display etc.

Example
A sample directory listing produced by the dirlist module looks like this:

Index of /docs/misc/
