At my current workplace "/" is resolved to "/home.html" by our
web-server ... which is a nuisance if you try to mirror a
web-site from elsewhere that has a different default and you've
liberally used hrefs with URLs ending in "/" ... my initial way
of getting around this was to add symbolic links home.html ->
index.html all over the place, only to find that when files were
copied from the internal to the external server all links got broken
:(
