Stop nginx from trimming file name in directory list?

It looks like the only way to that is to edit the source code. The following #define in src/http/modules/ngx_http_autoindex_module.c have to be changed:

#define NGX_HTTP_AUTOINDEX_NAME_LEN     50

Maybe something else needs to be tweaked too, but that's what I saw at first glance.

I am no expert, but in nginx one can do this:

fancyindex_name_length 255;

Where 255, obviously, is a max length to trim to you want to achieve.

Works fine in nginx 1.18.0 on Debian with libnginx-mod-http-fancyindex

More docs: https://github.com/aperezdc/ngx-fancyindex#fancyindex-name-length

i use Fancy Index module (ubuntu: libnginx-mod-http-fancyindex) and specify simple file with this js snippet.

location / {
    fancyindex on;
    fancyindex_footer footer.html;
    fancyindex_ignore footer.html;
}

<!-- footer.html in the folder -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$("a").each(function() {
    $(this).text($(this).attr('href'))
})
</script>
