NAME

Plack::Middleware::DirIndex::Htaccess - Serve default html files for directory URLS. Includes checking of .htaccess file for DirectoryIndex.

SYNOPSIS

use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::App::Directory;

my $app = Plack::App::Directory->new()->to_app;

builder {
    enable "DirIndex::Htaccess", root => '.', dir_index => 'index.html';
    $app;
};

DESCRIPTION

The Apache web server uses the DirectoryIndex directive within .htaccess files to automatically serve a default page (e.g., about.html when a user requests a directory URL like /about/).

This Plack middleware provides a lightweight simulation of Apache's DirectoryIndex functionality for your local Plack environment. By reading the DirectoryIndex from your existing .htaccess files, it ensures that requests to directories resolve to the correct default file, just as they would on the live server.

If there is no c<DirectoryIndex> directive (or .htaccess file), the module will append the value of <dir_index> (defaults to index.html) if the file exists, like Plack::Middleware::DirIndex.
