<p>The index of a directory can come from one of two sources:</p>

<li>A file written by the user, typically called
<code>index.html</code>. The <a href="#directoryindex" class="directive"><code class="directive">DirectoryIndex</code></a> directive sets the

<p>The two functions are separated so that you can completely
remove (or replace) automatic index generation should you want
to.</p>
<p>A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server
receives a request for a URL

<p>The <code class="directive">DirectoryIndex</code> directive sets the
list of resources to look for, when the client requests an index
of the directory by specifying a / at the end of the a directory
name. <em>Local-url</em> is the (%-encoded) URL of a document on
the server relative to the requested directory; it is usually the
name of a file in the directory. Several URLs may be given, in
which case the server will return the first one that it finds. If
none of the resources exist and the <code>Indexes</code> option is
set, the server will generate its own listing of the
directory.</p>
