Yes, see the documentation for Export-url
http://wilson.ai.mit.edu/cl-http/show-documentation?HTTP%3AEXPORT-URL
A directory-style list in HTML is the default content returned for the
get method on a URL directory path. This behavior is customized by
providing a response function via the :DIRECTORY-WRITER keyword. This
response function is called with the arguments (URL STREAM) and must
return non-null when it handles the response. If it declines to handle
the response, it may return NIL, and the standard method will list the
directory as usual. HTTP:WRITE-INDEXED-DIRECTORY-LISTING is a directory
writer that will serve the contents of an index.html file found in
the directory. Other computed returns are possible.
