Formatted output changes only...
Introduced new mod_autoindex IndexOptions flags; SuppressIcon to drop the icon column and SuppressRules to drop the <hr> elements. These are necessary for HTML 3.2 final formatting rules. Introduced HTMLTable to create rudimentary HTML table listings (implies FancyIndexing). Necessary for alternate charsets, since the columns are borked by multibyte characters. Re-Introduced the mod_autoindex IndexOptions flag TrackModified from Apache 1.3.15. This is needed for two reasons, first, given multiple machines within a server farm, ETags and Last-Modified stamps won't correspond from machine to machine, and second, many Unixes don't capture changes to the date or time stamp of existing files, since these don't modify the dirent itself. [Originally for 1.3 by me] Re-Introduced the mod_autoindex InextOptions flag FoldersFirst and DirectoryWidth options from Apache 1.3.10. [Originally for 1.3 by Ken Coar] git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk@89979 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68
