    Every version of website (1.x, 2.x) I've ever seen behaves like this in
    standard configuration. However you can avoid the revealing of webdirectories
    by installing either one of two freely available WSAPI extensions which then
    send out custom 404, 403 and 401 messages.

    btw: there is a similar tool for coldfusion called infusion but I can't find
    the URL right now.
    
    Hope this helps,
