Date: Sat, 08 Mar 2008 02:03:22 -0500 From: MBR <[hidden email]> Assuming I understand you correctly, you're just typing a directory path into your browser's address bar, and you'd like some server along the way to do the right magic so the index page is returned to the browser. I don't believe this is possible. Here's why. I think that what Jerry's asking for is that if you browse a directory that contains an index.html file that the browser open that file rather than provide a directory listing. For example, if there is a file /home/rlk/index.html, and I type file:///home/rlk into the browser, the browser should actually provide /home/rlk/index.html. This doesn't need any server involvement or anything. Whatever the merits or otherwise of this, it's something a browser could do on its own.
