autoindex subdirectories

[Igor A. Ippolitov]

Hello, guys.

I think I have a POC using autoindex, ssi and xslt. Obviously it 
requires further tweaking.

You can use configuration like this:
> map $uri $doc {
>     ~*/index[^/]*(.*) $1;
> }
> server {
>     listen 8080;
>     proxy_http_version 1.1;
>     location /index/ {
>         alias /tests/nginx;
>         ssi on;
>         proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/index2/;
>     }
>     location /index2 {
>         autoindex on;
>         autoindex_format xml;
>         xslt_string_param base /index/$doc;
>         xslt_stylesheet /tests/nginx/req.index.xslt;
>         alias /tests/nginx;
>     }
> }
> }
Along with a simple xslt like this:
> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
>     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>     exclude-result-prefixes="xsl"
> >
>   <xsl:param name="base"/>
>
>   <xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
>   <xsl:template match="//directory">
>     <xsl:value-of select="."/>
>     |-><xsl:comment># include virtual="<xsl:value-of 
> select="$base"/><xsl:value-of select="."/>/" </xsl:comment>
>   </xsl:template>
>
> </xsl:stylesheet>

And this will make nginx do recursive listing but the resulting output 
is far from ideal.
Also no error handling is done (should be done using error_page).

Regards,
Igor.
