Neither do I see any good reason to make index files configurable because I have hardly seen such a peculiar setting for several years that uses file names other than index.html or index.php for index files. I used to use index.htm for technical reasons though. In short, if you need to configure it more, it'd be better off installing Apache to do the right job. I would like to cover just a marginal part of the developer needs with this. Regards, Moriyoshi > -- > Alexey Zakhlestin, http://twitter.com/jimi_dini > http://www.milkfarmsoft.com/ >
