AddDescription directive


Purpose

Tells HTTPd how to describe a file or a file type while generating a directory index.


Syntax

AddDescription "blah blah blah" fileid

fileid is either a filename extension (like .html), a filename, a full real pathname to a file on your system, or a wildcard pattern to match to filenames.

blah blah blah must be surrounded by quotes and is a short (preferably < 1 line) description of the file.

You may use as many AddDescription directives as you wish.


File

srm.conf

Default

There are no default descriptions.


Example

AddDescription "a great batch of nonsense" fargle.bargle

A portion of HTTPd's index for fargle.bargle's directory would look something like this:

foople.poople (8000 bytes)
fargle.bargle : a great batch of nonsense(10000 bytes)
