**Test step**
1. Create **templates/static/directory_index.html** with following
content
{{{
{% load i18n %}
<body>
<h1>{% blocktrans %}Index of {{ directory }}{% endblocktrans %}</h1>
<ul>
{% if directory != "/" %}
<li><a href="../">../</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% for f in file_list %}
<li><a href="{{ f|urlencode }}">{{ f }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</body>
</html>
}}}
2. Config **settings.py**'s TEMPLATE_DIR to search **templates/**
{{{
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
'templates' # add config
here
],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
}}}
3. Use **django.views.static.serve** in **urls.py**
{{{
def browse(request):
return serve(request, request.path, '/tmp', show_indexes=True)
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^browse/', browse),
}}}
**Actual result**
{{{
