Web Browsers and index.html

[eilute]

I have a couple of browsers that will open up index.php when no index.html file is present. Is this standard operation? Will Lynx and Safari will do the same. Will all browsers open other files such as index.xml or index2.htm when there is no index.html file present?

Yes. As long as the server where the website is hosted is set up to display them; it has nothing to do with browsers.

It's not the browser's choice, the browser requests "/" and the server returns whatever it's configured to send.
