    Hi all,
    
    I recently have downloaded a trial version of Fasttrack server (3.01) for NT
    
    According to Netscape documentation:
    
    ----8<------------------------8<-------------------8<---
    Specifying index filenames
    
    If a document name is not specified in the URL,
    and the server finds a file with this name in a
    document directory, it assumes that file is the
    index file. The server automatically displays this
    file when no specific file is requested. The defaults
    are index.html and home.html. If more than
    one name is specified, the server looks in the
    order in which the names you specified appear
    until one is found. For example, if your index
    filenames are index.html, home.html, the
    server first looks for index.html, and if the
    server doesn't find it, then the server looks for
    home.html.
    
    ------8<--------------8<---------------8<--------------------
    
    Well, having this configuration:
    
    Index Filenames: index.html
    
    Directory indexing: fancy or simple
    
    and HAVING a index.html file in root directory
    
     if you telnet to default httpd port and type:
    
    get /  (lowercase)
    
    You will get a directory listing of the root directory.
    
    Workaround: Disable directory listing.
    
    Netscape has been notified.
