Is it possible to veiw a sites main index if they have a file index.html or such? Just wondering because I have never seen it done before
I don't understand you 100%. do you mean is it possible to view a sites index page if the file format is 'html'? . and Also 'php' is possible if you were wondering.
No I mean is it possible to veiw a sites index page? because when they have a file called index.html (or so) it automaticaly runs that...how would you be able to make it so you can see the index without the browser automaticaly runnin the index.html file?
I believe this is impossible , the main directory should always forward to the index page. You might try to go to index.html if that is not the index page (e.g. when it's index.php or something else). If they have a stupid host , it might be that index.html does not redirect to the other page and just gives you the directory.
