Can you build a small directory tree, and manually create the files with
the content that you would like to have returned?

For directory listings, do a manual "ls" (or whatever) once to hard-code
the html.

That exercise might make clear to you what content you want nginx to
return in response to different requests -- particularly, which parts
are static and which parts are dynamic. And that in turn might help you
decide whether you want an nginx module, or the plain directory handler,
or something like an index.php that you can drop in each directory.

(I you use frames, you will be making more than one http request, so
nginx will be able to return more than one piece of content.)

Good luck with it,
