Reading too much into webserver file names

Posted on Jul 22, 2010 in Language, Web Dev | 0 comments

Here's my observation: On Apache/Linux-based web servers, the file within each directory that is looked for is called index.html. On the IIS/Windows platform, the file is called default.html. Index. Default. Each carries a certain connotation... does that connotation imply anything about the platform on which these files exist? Or am I just reading far too much into something completely innocuous?
