1. You shouldn't use ngx_alloc() for request-related data.  Using 
ngx_palloc() is much easier and don't require free() (which is 
missed in your patch, btw).

2. There is no need to do any separate allocs in this case, 
changing main one (and relevant output code) in 
ngx_http_autoindex_handler() is enough.

Additionally, I personally believe that using css without making 
sure page will be rendered in standards mode is bad idea.

Generally style suggest that handler function should be kept 
first, and static functions are declared.  Following any of these 
rules will require you to add declaration.

Though in this particular case there is no need to add 
function, see above.
