Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.6-2
Severity: wishlist

I sporadically run into web sites with directory listing enabled but can't read large parts of the file names because the site hasn't configured IndexOptions NameWidth=*
or some specific value for NameWidth. The problem is particularly severe when the directory being indexed is a download directory for some software, offering several versions of the software, each in several packagings (.deb, .rpm, .tar.gz, etc.); typically, all of the package file names have the same initial part, so the directory listing just shows lots of identical lines ending in ... and I have to hover to get the browser to tell me each name.

Do you need help?

Including NameWidth=* in the IndexOptions specified by the default autoindex.conf would solve this problem (albeit slowly, as web sites may take time to upgrade, especially sites which haven't gotten round to fixing this problem for themselves).

The current version in Debian stable has

IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort HTMLTable NameWidth=*

In testing/unstable, it is

IndexOptions FancyIndexing VersionSort HTMLTable NameWidth=* DescriptionWidth=*

Only the version in oldstable (sarge) misses the NameWidth=*. So, this is already fixed.

Cheers,
Stefan
