Laurent, do you mean that the default directory listing depends on the
client browser? It depends on a web server and not on a browser. I
have no example for IIS, but here's the one for Apache

Default settings:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/default-servlet.html

Example how it looks on the website:
http://cohred.org/cohred/content/

When directory browsing in enabled on a web site and there isn't a
default document available, IIS will display the contents of the
directory as a similar page and it looks the same in IE, and other
browsers

.
