The Directory Browser

The Directory Browser is in dir.pl and is part of the base system. It operates anytime the path specifies a directory that has no $http_index file. The Directory Browser is enabled by setting autoindex to true in local.conf. If it is not enabled the user will get an error message when attempting to access a directory.

The Directory Browser will print out all the entries in the specified directory along with the size and last modification time. Entries that are directories are marked with a trailing slash ``/''.

You can also use the Search Keyword to specify a Perl regular expression as a filter to help find files in large directories. For example, a Search Keyword of ``gif$'' (the $ is needed to avoid trying to view the result as a gif file) will filter out all the files except those ending in ``gif''.

You can hide files or directories by adding hide lines in local.conf.
