39<h3>Summary</h3>
40
41      <p>The index of a directory can come from one of two
42      sources:</p>
43
44    <ul>
45      <li>A file located in that directory, typically called
46      <code>index.html</code>. The <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code> directive sets the
47      name of the file or files to be used. This is controlled by
48      <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code>.</li>
49
50      <li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other
51      directives control the format of this listing. The <code class="directive"><a href="#addicon">AddIcon</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addiconbyencoding">AddIconByEncoding</a></code> and
52      <code class="directive"><a href="#addiconbytype">AddIconByType</a></code> are
53      used to set a list of icons to display for various file types;
54      for each file listed, the first icon listed that matches the
55      file is displayed. These are controlled by
56      <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code>.</li>
57    </ul>
58    <p>The two functions are separated so that you can completely
59    remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want
60    to.</p>
61
62    <p>Automatic index generation is enabled with using
63    <code>Options +Indexes</code>. See the
64    <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#options">Options</a></code> directive for
65    more details.</p>
66
67    <p>If the <code><a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing">FancyIndexing</a></code> option is given with the <code class="directive"><a href="#indexoptions">IndexOptions</a></code> directive,
68    the column headers are links that control the order of the
69    display. If you select a header link, the listing will be
70    regenerated, sorted by the values in that column. Selecting the
71    same header repeatedly toggles between ascending and descending
72    order. These column header links are suppressed with the
73    <code class="directive"><a href="#indexoptions">IndexOptions</a></code> directive's
74    <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</a></code> 
75    option.</p>
76
77    <p>Note that when the display is sorted by "Size", it's the
78    <em>actual</em> size of the files that's used, not the
79    displayed value - so a 1010-byte file will always be displayed
80    before a 1011-byte file (if in ascending order) even though
81    they both are shown as "1K".</p>

108<h2><a name="query" id="query">Autoindex Request Query Arguments</a></h2>
109    
110
111    <p>Various query string arguments are available to give the client
112    some control over the ordering of the directory listing, as well as
113    what files are listed. If you do not wish to give the client this
114    control, the <code><a href="#indexoptions.ignoreclient">IndexOptions
115    IgnoreClient</a></code> option disables that functionality.</p>
116
117    <p>The column sorting headers themselves are self-referencing
118    hyperlinks that add the sort query options shown below. Any
119    option below may be added to any request for the directory
120    resource.</p>
121
122    <ul>
123      <li><code>C=N</code> sorts the directory by file name</li>
124
125      <li><code>C=M</code> sorts the directory by last-modified
126      date, then file name</li>
127
128      <li><code>C=S</code> sorts the directory by size, then file
129      name</li>
130
131      <li class="separate"><code>C=D</code> sorts the directory by description, then
132      file name</li>
133
134      <li><code>O=A</code> sorts the listing in Ascending
135      Order</li>
136
137      <li class="separate"><code>O=D</code> sorts the listing in Descending
138      Order</li>
139
140      <li><code>F=0</code> formats the listing as a simple list
141      (not FancyIndexed)</li>
142
143      <li><code>F=1</code> formats the listing as a FancyIndexed
144      list</li>
145
146      <li class="separate"><code>F=2</code> formats the listing as an
147      HTMLTable FancyIndexed list</li>
148
149      <li><code>V=0</code> disables version sorting</li>
150
151      <li class="separate"><code>V=1</code> enables version sorting</li>
152
153      <li><code>P=<var>pattern</var></code> lists only files matching
154      the given <var>pattern</var></li>
155    </ul>
156
157    <p>Note that the 'P'attern query argument is tested
158    <em>after</em> the usual <code class="directive"><a href="#indexignore">IndexIgnore</a></code> directives are processed,
159    and all file names are still subjected to the same criteria as
160    any other autoindex listing. The Query Arguments parser in
161    <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> will stop abruptly when an unrecognized
162    option is encountered. The Query Arguments must be well formed,
163    according to the table above.</p>
164
165    <p>The simple example below, which can be clipped and saved in
166    a header.html file, illustrates these query options. Note that
167    the unknown "X" argument, for the submit button, is listed last
168    to assure the arguments are all parsed before mod_autoindex
169    encounters the X=Go input.</p>

301    <p>The typical, default description field is 23 bytes wide. 6
302    more bytes are added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppressicon">IndexOptions SuppressIcon</a></code> option, 7 bytes are
303    added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresssize">IndexOptions SuppressSize</a></code> option, and 19 bytes are
304    added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresslastmodified">IndexOptions SuppressLastModified</a></code> option.
305    Therefore, the widest default the description column is ever
306    assigned is 55 bytes.</p>
307
308    <p>Since the <var>File</var> argument may be a partial file name,
309    please remember that a too-short partial filename may match
310    unintended files. For example, <code>le.html</code> will match the
311    file <code>le.html</code> but will also match the file
312    <code>example.html</code>. In the event that there may be ambiguity,
313    use as complete a filename as you can, but keep in mind that the
314    first match encountered will be used, and order your list of
315    <code>AddDescription</code> directives accordingly.</p>
316
317    <p>See the <a href="#indexoptions.descriptionwidth">DescriptionWidth</a> <code class="directive"><a href="#indexoptions">IndexOptions</a></code> keyword for details on overriding the size

811      Once this feature is enabled, the client or proxy can track
812      changes to the list of files when they perform a <code>HEAD</code>
813      request. Note some operating systems correctly track new and

874     <li>Multiple <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code> directives for a
875     single directory are now merged together. The result of:
876
877     <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Directory /foo&gt;
878    IndexOptions HTMLTable
879    IndexOptions SuppressColumnsorting

886
887     </li>
888
889     <li>The addition of the incremental syntax (<em>i.e.</em>, prefixing
890     keywords with <code>+</code> or <code>-</code>).</li>
891     </ul>
892
893     <p>Whenever a '+' or '-' prefixed keyword is encountered, it
894     is applied to the current <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code>
895     settings (which may have been inherited from an upper-level
896     directory). However, whenever an unprefixed keyword is processed, it
897     clears all inherited options and any incremental settings encountered
898     so far. Consider the following example:</p>
899
900     <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks FancyIndexing<br />
901IndexOptions +SuppressSize</pre>
902
903
904     <p>The net effect is equivalent to <code>IndexOptions FancyIndexing
905     +SuppressSize</code>, because the unprefixed <code>FancyIndexing</code>
906     discarded the incremental keywords before it, but allowed them to
907     start accumulating again afterward.</p>
908
909     <p>To unconditionally set the <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code> for
910     a particular directory, clearing the inherited settings, specify
911     keywords without any <code>+</code> or <code>-</code> prefixes.</p>

937    The second argument must be one of the keywords <code>Name</code>,
938    <code>Date</code>, <code>Size</code>, or <code>Description</code>,
939    and identifies the primary key. The secondary key is
940    <em>always</em> the ascending filename.</p>

943    by also adding the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</a></code>
944    index option to remove the sort link from the top of the column,
945    along with the <code><a href="#indexoptions.ignoreclient">IgnoreClient</a></code> index
