[users@httpd] SUMMARY: RE: [users@httpd] Directory Indexes and Deleting Files

[Mark Wishneusky <wi...@stiusa.com>]

Thanks to Owen and James for responding to this.

Both suggested looking for third party software: whether it be another mod 
or a CGI program.  Last night I just bit the bullet and made a small shell 
script to do a directory listing, grep out certain "system files", and awk 
it to print a hyperlink to another CGI program with the file name in the 
querystring.

Initially I WAS hoping for an added flag or directive that would do this, 
but turns out, as Owen said, there's nothing along those lines.  That's 
okay though.  If anyone is interested feel free to e-mail me me: 
wishneum@stiusa.com and I'll be glad to show you some stuff.

Thanks again to everyone!
Mark


 From James:

One possibility would be to use something like CGI.pm.

 From Owen:

>- forget about modules and write the whole thing in a server-sided
