Hi,
hope you have read and tried about my patch to the same features of
httpd.

ReadmeTop is fine - I also want to have it configurable.
LinkIcons - As I see the Href from the Icon is the same as from
the name after.
My vote is for such like my AddHref, so I can bind
a variable view to spesial file types - so I can
make the funtionality to look in archives with a
cgi script
TRY:
http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/ftp-home/pub/simtel/msdos/animate

What I would like:
- we can configure the global view in srm.conf with FancySelections,
ReadmeTop, AddHref ... and
- we can put configuration files on directories in the archive area
as httpd does with .htaccess
So we could define different views to different parts. There I could
overwrite the "global view" as in srm.conf.

What should be there:
- all the features as in srm.conf for indexing, but I can change
from defines in srm.conf
- CGI-View /cgi-bin/<name> to call a script with pathname to
generate an index outside the server. Very good for good
managed archives like simtel or windows from cica. So you can
generate Hypertext Indexes from the indexes on the archives.
Try http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/cgi-bin/simtel?animate

What do you think about this? I could send you the patches for AddHref
and the unarch CGI, but I think Rob should do the real patch if it is
a good one.

PS: Patch as patch can ...
