Hi Tony, thanks for the reply, the reason I ask is because I'm getting a default behaviour that I cannot find documentation of. i.e. if I sent up a server with these two files in a directory it is always serving the XML file over the HTML file. e.g http://localhost/test/file will return file.xml not file.html I don't think "DirectoryIndex" is appropriate here because the file name does not matter, e.g. it could be fred.xml/fred.html or bill.xml/bill.html it still chooses the .xml file over the html file if both are there..
