Nginx list static files/directories as XML/Json

I installed nginx with the intent of serving static files like photos and videos, being able to programmatically list the files served.

The problem is that this listing is done in a HTML page and for my application I needed to be able to process this listing (something like json or xml).

Is there anyway I can do this with nginx? (Or are there any other alternatives which solve my problem)

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Solved the problem by adding a php script to the server to list the files.
