unindexed

A Golang HTTP FileSystem that disables directory indexing.

Motivation

By default, the http.Dir filesystem has directory indexing enabled. For example, let's say you have a .git/ folder at the root of the folder you're serving. If someone were to request your_url/.git/, the contents of the folder would be listed.

This package disables directory indexing, preventing the contents from being listed.

Installation

go get -u github.com/jordan-wright/unindexed

Usage

The easiest way to use unindexed is as a drop-in replacement for http.Dir, which is commonly used to serve static files.

Here's a simple example using the gorilla/mux router:

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/gorilla/mux"
	"github.com/jordan-wright/unindexed"
)

func main() {
	router := mux.NewRouter()
	router.PathPrefix("/").Handler(http.FileServer(unindexed.Dir("../static")))
	log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", router))
}
