Does RebexTinyWebServer Directory Listing/Indexing?

Question

Hello,
Quite often I am using RebexTinyWebServer as Download Server. Presenting a Directory Listing of the webroot directory would therefore be useful. Deleting "index.html" as in other web servers does not work, outcommenting 'add key="defaultFile" value="index.html"' in the config file or replacing it with 'add key="defaultFile" value="dummy.html' and an empty dummy.html neither.
Any idea? I won't believe that this smart webserver is not able to present an index/file listing of the webroot and/or folders below.

Regards,
Hardy

Unfortunately, the auto-generated HTTP response of a directory listing is currently not supported. However, it is planned feature.

I will increase the priority of this feature. I will let you know here when it is added.

Any news on this feature? I am trying to do exactly this... I just want a 'small' Web Server to run on my PC which will allow me to list a directory on another device/browser and open a file.

Is there any way to achieve this?

The "Directory browsing" feature will be part of the next version.

Preview build including the feature is available on request.

Hi could I get the preview?

---

Preview version is available at https://www.rebex.net/getfile/46259c64eaab4d1095d8606ebb2aaf25/RebexTinyWebServer-Binaries-v1.0.4-preview1.zip

To enable Directory Browsing functionality set "directoryBrowsing" in config to "true":

    <add key="directoryBrowsing" value="true" />

It seems like the uploaded preview has expired.

Can it be re-uploaded?

---

Sure, you can download it now.

Hi!
Downloaded 1.0.5 but apparently  <add key="directoryBrowsing" value="true" /> isn't supported and nothing is documented at https://www.rebex.net/tiny-web-server/

Is that feature still not in the public version* or did it just change and you forgot to edit?

Thank you!

* if so, could you please make 1.0.4-preview available again?

Unfortunately, the directory browsing feature is not part of the public release yet. We will add it as soon as possible.

However, I have prolonged validity of the v1.0.4-preview. Please, use that version in the meantime.

Thank you, Lukas!
Works very well and in full speed (could only test 100 Mbps) over here
Looking forward for official 1.06 then.
