I want to share folder contents over http. I've installed nginx with autoindex on and configured it to my folder. The problem is it takes me html file with file/folder list, but I want some kind of xml with same information.

Is it possible to do it using standard nginx tools, or should I implement some script to solve this problem?

You have to involve some scripting to make it work. Most what you can get with nginx configuration is custom footer and header.

By the way, developers looks forward to adding xml index module to nginx.
