[thelist] web page extensions

Well with any system you can specify any deafault name you like but yes that
name with whatever extension(s) you use will be repeated often.  You can do
per directory deafults but that can become far more confusing not to mention
cumbersome.

So companies that implement this system have a lot of files named index.html
or default.html (one for each directory)? That seems a little confusing to
keep naming files the same name.

Am I way off base here?

Thanks,

The last "no extension" entry is a directory name, not a file name.  When
presented with just a directory, the web server will access a default
filename.  Depending on the server setup, this can be index.html,
index.htm, index.shtml, default.htm, default.html, index.cgi, default.asp...
