How to list files in a directory

this is somewhat of a dumb question, and I'm pretty sure i saw you
disapprove of it somewhere, but i was curious what is the best way to
display a listing of the files in a directory. I've bound a directory to
a standard url route, and have no troubles accessing the handlers or
index.html, but i'd like to set a route to point to a directory with
subdirectories of albums (for my own selfish reasons). I know this is a
basic thing that can be done with laymans apache, but i was curious how
this could be done with mongrel2.

thanks for your time Zed.

There is no directory listing mechanism in mongrel2. It simply handles
serving files, not listing them. You may have to write a simple handler to
list files.
