That was the hint I needed. It turns out that <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html> has this to say: * C=N sorts the directory by file name * C=M sorts the directory by last-modified date, then file name * C=S sorts the directory by size, then file name * C=D sorts the directory by description, then file name * O=A sorts the listing in Ascending Order * O=D sorts the listing in Descending Order * F=0 formats the listing as a simple list (not FancyIndexed) * F=1 formats the listing as a FancyIndexed list * F=2 formats the listing as an HTMLTable FancyIndexed list * V=0 disables version sorting * V=1 enables version sorting * P=pattern lists only files matching the given pattern The summary seems to say that one can have mod_dir OR mod_autoindex but not both. But it also says that use of index.html is controlled by mod_dir. I need to get read access to the config file for my hosting service and that might be difficult. A GET aimed at a directory does deliver my own index.html if it's there. But sometimes I don't want to bother with that and apache, as installed by pair.com, does deliver a list of files that a visitor can click on. Is it _dir or _autoindex is the question I shall ask.
