Very Computer

Apologies in advance if I've overlooked something really obvious, but
I have done a number of searches at groups.Google and apache.org.

Is there a way to display a directory listing when an index.html file
exists? (I'm looking to reproduce the apache behavior of loading the
file system when there is no index.html.) It seems that this must have
already be done in javascript or php, but I can't find _anything_.

I would like to display a sample application that I wrote so that some
others can view it, but the application needs to have an index.html
file. This is for a short class that I'm teaching and I would like the
folks to be able to view the source on-line after the class while
running the application to see how it works.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
the simplest way may be if you put a .htaccess file into that directory
with the line:
DirectoryIndex foo.htm
as long as you have no foo.htm I assume the server will produce a
listing...

You could do it with a CGI script.  I normally use it as an index.cgi
(with .cgi added to the DirectoryIndex list) but you could just as easily
call it something else.  It can include HEADER.html before the listing and
README.html as a footer after the listing.  See dirindex.txt in scripts at
either site on last line of sig below.

Excellent suggestion, Guenter. It worked.

Cheers.

You can also consider a program that generates a file listing,
such as:
