<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>The index of a directory can come from one of two
sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>A file located in that directory, typically called
<code>index.html</code>. The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex">DirectoryIndex</a></code> directive sets the
name of the file or files to be used. This is controlled by
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_dir.html">mod_dir</a></code>.</li>
<li>Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. The other
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
<code class="directive"><a href="#addiconbytype">AddIconByType</a></code> 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 class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The two functions are separated so that you can completely
remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want
to.</p>
<p>Automatic index generation is enabled with using
<code>Options +Indexes</code>. See the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#options">Options</a></code> directive for
more details.</p>
<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,
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. These column header links are suppressed with the
<code class="directive"><a href="#indexoptions">IndexOptions</a></code> directive's
<code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</a></code>
option.</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".</p>

<h2><a name="query" id="query">Autoindex Request Query Arguments</a><a title="Permanent link" href="#query" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
<p>Various query string arguments are available to give the client
some control over the ordering of the directory listing, as well as
what files are listed. If you do not wish to give the client this
control, the <code><a href="#indexoptions.ignoreclient">IndexOptions
IgnoreClient</a></code> option disables that functionality.</p>
<p>The column sorting headers themselves are self-referencing
hyperlinks that add the sort query options shown below. Any
option below may be added to any request for the directory
resource.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>C=N</code> sorts the directory by file name</li>
<li><code>C=M</code> sorts the directory by last-modified
date, then file name</li>
<li><code>C=S</code> sorts the directory by size, then file
name</li>
<li class="separate"><code>C=D</code> sorts the directory by description, then
file name</li>
<li><code>O=A</code> sorts the listing in Ascending
Order</li>
<li class="separate"><code>O=D</code> sorts the listing in Descending
Order</li>
<li><code>F=0</code> formats the listing as a simple list
(not FancyIndexed)</li>
<li><code>F=1</code> formats the listing as a FancyIndexed
list</li>
<li class="separate"><code>F=2</code> formats the listing as an
HTMLTable FancyIndexed list</li>
<li><code>V=0</code> disables version sorting</li>
<li class="separate"><code>V=1</code> enables version sorting</li>
<li><code>P=<var>pattern</var></code> lists only files matching
the given <var>pattern</var></li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the 'P'attern query argument is tested
<em>after</em> the usual <code class="directive"><a href="#indexignore">IndexIgnore</a></code> directives are processed,
and all file names are still subjected to the same criteria as
any other autoindex listing. The Query Arguments parser in
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> will stop abruptly when an unrecognized
option is encountered. The Query Arguments must be well formed,
according to the table above.</p>
<p>The simple example below, which can be clipped and saved in
a header.html file, illustrates these query options. Note that
the unknown "X" argument, for the submit button, is listed last
to assure the arguments are all parsed before mod_autoindex
encounters the X=Go input.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
<form action="" method="get"><br />
<span class="indent">
Show me a <select name="F"><br />
<span class="indent">

<p>This sets the description to display for a file, for
<code><a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing">FancyIndexing</a></code>.
<var>File</var> is a file extension, partial filename, wild-card
expression or full filename for files to describe.
<var>String</var> is enclosed in double quotes (<code>"</code>).</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">AddDescription "The planet Mars" mars.gif
AddDescription "My friend Marshall" friends/mars.gif</pre>
<p>The typical, default description field is 23 bytes wide. 6
more bytes are added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppressicon">IndexOptions SuppressIcon</a></code> option, 7 bytes are
added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresssize">IndexOptions SuppressSize</a></code> option, and 19 bytes are
added by the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresslastmodified">IndexOptions SuppressLastModified</a></code> option.
Therefore, the widest default the description column is ever
assigned is 55 bytes.</p>
<p>Since the <var>File</var> argument may be a partial file name,
please remember that a too-short partial filename may match
unintended files. For example, <code>le.html</code> will match the
file <code>le.html</code> but will also match the file
<code>example.html</code>. In the event that there may be ambiguity,
use as complete a filename as you can, but keep in mind that the
first match encountered will be used, and order your list of
<code>AddDescription</code> directives accordingly.</p>
<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
of this column, or allowing descriptions of unlimited length.</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Caution</h3>
<p>Descriptive text defined with <code class="directive">AddDescription</code>
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.</p>
</div>
<div class="note"><h3>Arguments with path information</h3>
<p>Absolute paths are not currently supported and do not match
anything at runtime. Arguments with relative path information,
which would normally only be used in htaccess context, are implicitly
prefixed with '*/' to avoid matching partial directory names.</p>

a class of <code>even-<em>ALT</em></code> or

<dd>The <code>Charset</code> keyword allows you to
specify the character set of the generated page. The
default is <code>UTF-8</code> on Windows and Mac OS X,
and <code>ISO-8859-1</code> elsewhere.
(It depends on whether the underlying file system
uses Unicode filenames or not.)

</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.descriptionwidth" id="indexoptions.descriptionwidth">DescriptionWidth=[<var>n</var> | *]</a></dt>

<dt><code>-DescriptionWidth</code> (or unset) allows
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> to calculate the best width.</dt>

<dd>This turns on fancy indexing of directories.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.foldersfirst" id="indexoptions.foldersfirst">FoldersFirst</a></dt>
<dd>If this option is enabled, subdirectory listings will
<em>always</em> 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
<code>FoldersFirst</code> is enabled, subdirectory
<code>Zed</code> will be listed before subdirectory
<code>Beta</code>, which will be listed before normal files
<code>Gamma</code> and <code>Alpha</code>.
<strong>This option only has an effect if <a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing"><code>FancyIndexing</code></a>
is also enabled.</strong>
</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.htmltable" id="indexoptions.htmltable">HTMLTable</a></dt>
<dd>This option with <code>FancyIndexing</code> constructs

<dd>Presence of this option, when used with <code>IconWidth</code>,
will cause the server to include <code>height</code> and
<code>width</code> attributes in the <code>img</code> tag for the file
icon. This allows browser to precalculate the page layout without having
to wait until all the images have been loaded. If no value is given for
the option, it defaults to the standard height of the icons supplied
with the Apache httpd software.
<strong>This option
only has an effect if <a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing"><code>FancyIndexing</code></a> is also enabled.</strong>

<dd>If this option is enabled, names are sorted in a case-insensitive
manner. For instance, if the sort order is ascending by name, and
<code>IgnoreCase</code> is enabled, file Zeta will be listed after
file alfa (Note: file GAMMA will always be listed before file gamma).
</dd>

<dd>The <code>NameWidth</code> keyword allows you to specify the width
of the filename column in bytes.</dd>
<dd><code>-NameWidth</code> (or unset) allows <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code> to calculate the best width, but only up
to 20 bytes wide.</dd>
<dd><code>NameWidth=<var>n</var></code> fixes the column width to

<dd><code>NameWidth=*</code> grows the column to the necessary
width.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.scanhtmltitles" id="indexoptions.scanhtmltitles">ScanHTMLTitles</a></dt>
<dd>This enables the extraction of the title from HTML documents
for fancy indexing. If the file does not have a description
given by <code class="directive"><a href="#adddescription">AddDescription</a></code>
then httpd will read the document for the value of the
<code>title</code> element. This is CPU and disk intensive.</dd>

<dt><a name="indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting" id="indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</a></dt>
<dd>If specified, Apache httpd will not make the column headings in a
FancyIndexed directory listing into links for sorting. The
default behavior is for them to be links; selecting the
column heading will sort the directory listing by the values
in that column. However, query string arguments which are appended
to the URL will still be honored. That behavior is controlled by <a href="#indexoptions.ignoreclient"><code>IndexOptions
IgnoreClient</code></a>.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.suppressdescription" id="indexoptions.suppressdescription">SuppressDescription</a></dt>
<dd>This will suppress the file description in fancy indexing
listings. By default, no file descriptions are defined, and
so the use of this option will regain 23 characters of screen
space to use for something else. See <code class="directive"><a href="#adddescription">AddDescription</a></code> for information about setting the file
description. See also the <code><a href="#indexoptions.descriptionwidth">DescriptionWidth</a></code>
index option to limit the size of the description column.

<dd>If the directory actually contains a file specified by the
<code class="directive"><a href="#headername">HeaderName</a></code>
directive, the module usually includes the contents of the file
after a standard HTML preamble (<code><html></code>,
<code><head></code>, <em>et cetera</em>). The
<code>SuppressHTMLPreamble</code> 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. If you also specify a <code class="directive"><a href="#readmename">ReadmeName</a></code>, and if that file
exists, The closing </body></html> tags are also
ommitted from the output, under the assumption that you'll likely
put those closing tags in that file.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.suppressicon" id="indexoptions.suppressicon">SuppressIcon</a></dt>
<dd>This will suppress the icon in fancy indexing listings.
Combining both <code>SuppressIcon</code> and
<code>SuppressRules</code> yields proper HTML 3.2 output, which

<code>hr</code> elements from the <code>pre</code> block (used to
format FancyIndexed listings.)</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.suppresslastmodified" id="indexoptions.suppresslastmodified">SuppressLastModified</a></dt>
<dd>This will suppress the display of the last modification date,
in fancy indexing listings.

</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.suppressrules" id="indexoptions.suppressrules">SuppressRules</a>
</dt>
<dd>This will suppress the horizontal rule lines (<code>hr</code>
elements) in directory listings. Combining both <code>SuppressIcon</code> and
<code>SuppressRules</code> yields proper HTML 3.2 output, which
by the final specification prohibits <code>img</code> and
<code>hr</code> elements from the <code>pre</code> block (used to
format FancyIndexed listings.)

only has an effect if <a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing"><code>FancyIndexing</code></a> is also enabled.</strong>
</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.trackmodified" id="indexoptions.trackmodified">TrackModified</a></dt>
<dd>This returns the <code>Last-Modified</code> and <code>ETag</code>
values for the listed directory in the HTTP header. It is only valid
if the operating system and file system return appropriate stat()
results. Some Unix systems do so, as do OS2's JFS and Win32's
NTFS volumes. OS2 and Win32 FAT volumes, for example, do not.
Once this feature is enabled, the client or proxy can track
changes to the list of files when they perform a <code>HEAD</code>
request. Note some operating systems correctly track new and
removed files, but do not track changes for sizes or dates of
the files within the directory. <strong>Changes to the size
or date stamp of an existing file will not update the
<code>Last-Modified</code> header on all Unix platforms.</strong>
If this is a concern, leave this option disabled.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.type" id="indexoptions.type">Type=<var>MIME content-type</var></a> (<em>Apache HTTP Server 2.0.61 and
later</em>)</dt>

<dt><a name="indexoptions.useolddateformat" id="indexoptions.useolddateformat">UseOldDateFormat</a>

<dd>The date format used for the <code>Last Modified</code> field was
inadvertently changed to <code>"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"</code> from
<code>"%d-%b-%Y %H:%M"</code> in 2.4.0. Setting this option
restores the date format from 2.2 and earlier.</dd>
<dt><a name="indexoptions.versionsort" id="indexoptions.versionsort">VersionSort</a>
(<em>Apache HTTP Server 2.0a3 and later</em>)</dt>
<dd>The <code>VersionSort</code> keyword causes files containing
version numbers to sort in a natural way. Strings are sorted as
usual, except that substrings of digits in the name and
description are compared according to their numeric value.

<dd>
<p>Be aware of how multiple <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code> are
handled.</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiple <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code> directives for a
single directory are now merged together. The result of:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config"><Directory "/foo">
IndexOptions HTMLTable
IndexOptions SuppressColumnsorting
</Directory></pre>
<p>will be the equivalent of</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">IndexOptions HTMLTable SuppressColumnsorting</pre>
</li>
<li>The addition of the incremental syntax (<em>i.e.</em>, prefixing
keywords with <code>+</code> or <code>-</code>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Whenever a '+' or '-' prefixed keyword is encountered, it
is applied to the current <code class="directive">IndexOptions</code>
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>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">IndexOptions +ScanHTMLTitles -IconsAreLinks FancyIndexing
IndexOptions +SuppressSize</pre>
<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 class="directive">IndexOptions</code> for
a particular directory, clearing the inherited settings, specify
keywords without any <code>+</code> or <code>-</code> prefixes.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">IndexOrderDefault</code> directive is used
in combination with the <code><a href="#indexoptions.fancyindexing">FancyIndexing</a></code> index option. By default, fancyindexed
directory listings are displayed in ascending order by filename; the
<code class="directive">IndexOrderDefault</code> allows you to change this
initial display order.</p>
<p><code class="directive">IndexOrderDefault</code> takes two
arguments. The first must be either <code>Ascending</code> or
<code>Descending</code>, indicating the direction of the sort.
The second argument must be one of the keywords <code>Name</code>,
<code>Date</code>, <code>Size</code>, or <code>Description</code>,
and identifies the primary key. The secondary key is
<em>always</em> the ascending filename.</p>
<p>You can, if desired, prevent the client from reordering the list
by also adding the <code><a href="#indexoptions.suppresscolumnsorting">SuppressColumnSorting</a></code>
index option to remove the sort link from the top of the column,
along with the <code><a href="#indexoptions.ignoreclient">IgnoreClient</a></code> index
