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..
correct. "DirectoryIndex" is not approariate here. that only governs the behaviour when http://localhost/test is requested.
what you need to read up on is Content Negotiation: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=apache+content+negotiation&btnG=Google+Search&meta=which is how the server decides which file to server based on what the browser has requested and your own rules. a simple way to define it is, i believe, to place a file called file.var in the same directory with contents something like this:
URI: file URI: file.html Content-type: text/html; qs=1i am by no means an expert but this should at least give you something to get started on.
