Re: What's wrong with names that end in /?

To expand on this:
How would Amaya know what your server has set for a default or index page?
Does

http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/     mean
http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/index.html   or
http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/index.htm    or
http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/default.htm    or
http://www.w3.org/2000/07/hs78/home.html

etc.  The server doesn't automatically change the directory-based URI to a
full file URI on a PUT command.  Right?  I mean, wouldn't the PUT command
have to respond with the index.html part of the URI for this to work the way
you're suggesting in Amaya?

Is this some kind of a trick question?  DC clearly knows what he's doing, so
there's something I'm not picking up in his question.
